Acid
Acid, also known as LSD, is an hallucinogen which means it alters a person's perception of reality and distorts the senses. Acid is a white powder that disolves in water which could be very dangerous. Since it is odourless, so you wouldn't be able to tell if acid was in your water. It is dangerous because an effective dose of the pure drug is too small to even see.The effective dose is about 20 to 80 micrograms. Sometimes when people do acid, they feel that the experience gets out of control. They feel like they are losing their identity or breaking down to nothing. This can lead to a state of panic and paranoia. Acid affects judgement and behaviour. The drug can make people feel like they are capable of flying and walking straight through traffic. This is a result of a "bad trip" which most of the time results in accidental injuries and death.
