Definition:

LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) is a synthetic chemical, made from a substance found in ergot, which is a fungus that grows on rye or grain.

LSD belongs to a group of drugs known as hallucinogens (also known as ‘psychedelics’). When larger doses are taken, it may produce visual hallucinations, synesthesia, and distortions of space and time.
