LSD
Nicknames:
Acid, dots, flash, liquid acid, microdot, smilies, tabs, trips, and many other names, some of them describe the pictures on the squares.
What does it look like?
LSD is most commonly sold on blotting paper in small squares, which will have lots of different pictures on them. It can also be made into very tiny tablets called micro-dots.
The highs:
Your mind goes on a trip, seeing bright colours, strange distorted sights and sounds, weird hallucinations.
The lows:
LSD is a strong and unpredictable drug, as it depends largely on your state of mind. If you are in a strange place or troubled state of mind, there is always the chance you could have a bad trip, inducing a psychotic state with paranoid delusions that can last for months. A bad trip will also leave you feeling depressed, dizzy and confused, as you're not in control of your mind or your body on any trip, whether it's good or bad, it can be very dangerous.
The law:
LSD is a Class A drug (see Drugs - The Law for more information.)
