What is LSD?

First of all, it should be noted that LSD is the strongest chemical hallucinogen, which has the most unexpected effect on consciousness. It is obtained from lysergic acid, and it is found in mold and ergot. For the first time, a chemist from Switzerland, Albert Hoffman (in 1938), was working on the question of what LSD, or rather his synthesis, was, working at that time over blood stimulants. However, the psychotropic effect of this substance was discovered by the scientist much later, in 1943, when he accidentally took a little of this drug. In the 60s of the last century, many psychiatrists investigated the effect of LSD, even going to treat it with schizophrenia. Thus, numerous free samples of the drug became available, and its spread began, especially among young people. In the 80s, the level of LSD consumption fell sharply, but again it went up in the 90s, the drug began to spread widely among teenagers in nightclubs and discos.
