LSD is usually sold as small squares of blotting paper or card which have soaked up the drug (Acid Tabs). These 'tabs' are usually placed under the tongue or swallowed. Some stronger varieties will only require the user to lick the surface. It occasionally comes in microdot form which looks similar to coloured homeopathic pills.
Users can experience numerous reactions to the drug including: heightened awareness of colour and sound, hallucinations, disorientation, panic, persecution, mania and belief of invincibility. Movement and time may seem to speed up or slow down. The effects, known as 'a trip', can last from two to twelve hours and once it starts it cannot be stopped.

Bad trips can cause anxiety, depression and paranoia. Several deaths/serious accidents have been reported after LSD use due to the user's belief that they are invincible during the trip. Mental health problems can be triggered or existing conditions made worse. Users may have flash backs of hallucinatory experiences during the trip weeks, months or even years after the event.
