LSD | Sensory Seeking

Lysergic acid diethylamide, commonly known as LSD or acid, is a potent psychedelic drug synthesized from lysergic acid, a derivative of ergot fungus. First synthesized by Albert Hofmann in 1938, its mind-altering effects were discovered in 1943. LSD is known for inducing profound alterations in perception, mood, and thought processes, often described as a 'trip.' Its use has spanned from early psychiatric research to counterculture movements and contemporary therapeutic investigations. The substance is illegal in most countries, though research into its potential therapeutic applications is experiencing a resurgence.
