Dangers of liquid LSD
Purchasing liquid LSD online is extremely dangerous, as products are unregulated and carry significant health risks.
- Inconsistent potency: The concentration of LSD in a vial is not standardized or regulated. A single drop from one vial could be much stronger than a drop from another, increasing the risk of an overwhelming or “bad trip”.
- Contamination: Products sold on the black market can be contaminated with other, potentially more dangerous substances. Online purchases offer no guarantee of purity.
- Overdose risk: Inexperienced users may take more drops while waiting for the effects to kick in, potentially leading to an overdose with symptoms like elevated blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and severe psychological distress.
- Unpredictable effects: The experience, or “trip,” can vary widely and is influenced by the user’s mood, mindset, and environment. A “bad trip” can involve frightening hallucinations, intense anxiety, panic, and paranoia.
