A Psychadelic?? : LSD

Hi, what's up. Or as the youngsters say it, what is goody my gang. It's yours truly! Charlie!! and today, we are going to be talking about... psychedelics.

Okay, so, what on God's green earth are psychedelics.

 Does it have to be plural?

No. 

Would I take a psychedelic drug to test out the experience of being under such drugs because I strike for perfection and accuracy and also I can't deny I am a LITTTLE bit curious? 

Yes. Anyway, back to the point.

Psychedelics or well... classic hallucinogens, are psychoactive substances that alter perception, mood and cognitive processes. They do this by binding to serotonin receptors in the brain. These drugs cause emotional swings for example: deep feeling of euphoria, insight and peace to severe anxiety, fear, and/or paranoia. Consider this episode one of (???) because I'll be making a lot of these folks,

Some examples for psychedelic drugs are:
Magic Mushrooms, LSD, DMT, Mescaline and Molly or MDMA. For the beginning of this series, we can start with something that has been or should be commonly heard of unlike Ayahuasca: LSD.

LSD or also known as acid, or... Lucy. Those are its nicknames. Acid is because of Lysergic acid diethylamide. Lucy is because... of Lucy. Anyway: LSD is a psychedelic drug derived from ergot, and is also known for its psychological effects.

With just 20 micrograms, noticeable effects take place.

 LSD has an onset of 0.4 to 1.0 hours and a duration of 7 to 12 hours. Despite widespread of use, no fatal human overdoses have been documented. 

Being honest, it's mainly used for recreational or spiritual purposes, and have altered the perspective of many users who have taken LSD, like... going from atheist to agnostic for example.

When or If you take higher doses... is none of my business. Just joking. When that happens, it can induce visual and auditory hallucinations, ego dissolution and anxiety.
I've mentioned psychological effects just a minute ago, right? Right. LSD causes adverse psychological effects such as paranoia and delusions. This may lead to persistent and constant visual disturbances known as HPPD. Or its longer name, hallucinogen persisting perception disorder. I'd get into the history but that's a different topic for a different blog. so episode one part one..

suggestions and questions are always welcome.
