When abused, LSD is a hazardous drug with negative consequences.
It's an illicit substance that causes inflammation in people's bodies. Medics have shown that a small drop of the essence in any part of the body will change a person's mental state. As a result, only those with exceptional knowledge of the drug are permitted to handle it. It has also been observed that the drug has become more prevalent in recent years, which is cause for concern. This paper examines the National Geographic documentary Trip into Hell, which is about LSD.
LSD is a hallucinogenic drug that is used to treat addiction.
Reemergence of Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) Drug
LSD is one of the most harmful drugs in the world. It was one of the outlawed drugs in the 1960s. It is unfortunate that the drug is emerging again. LSD is used as a drug and has a lot of hallucinations. The drug is illegal in all countries that have heavy penalties on possession of the drug. This is because of the reaction effect it has in the body. The drug has both psychological effects and physical effects.
The physical effects include;
- the rise of body temperature
- high blood pressure
- high pulse rate
The drug has no long term effects but can be dangerous to people with mental problems. The psychological effects include; excitement and the mind blow effect of the drug. Studies have revealed that the drug is a good therapy substance (Schechter& Rosecrans, 1972). It changes the mood of a person and makes them active.
An example is a case where a person gets divorce and finds comfort with LSD. There are only a few individuals who are allowed to conduct experiments about the drug. One being David Nicole, a pharmacologist at the University of California. He experiments on how the drug can be used to reduce pain in the body and also how the drug is used to change the feeling of pain in the body. He also shows how the drug treats headaches.
Despite the fact that the drug is illegal, some people actively use the drug to treat headaches since it is so effective, especially in cases of extreme headaches.
An experiment by medics shows that the drug has the capability of totally stopping headaches. Therefore, the medics have proposed the use of the drug for treatment, though it is not officially accepted internationally. This is because it is not a cure, but has a changing effect on the brain's operation.
Moreover, the drug can be used as a respiratory stimulating factor. When the drug comes into contact with the body, especially the skin, it causes a huge explosive power in the brain. LSD has the potential of making a person think and behave actively. In the early period, there was a suggestion that LSD could be used for military purposes. The experiment, however, failed.
The major issue is that medical officers in the world have been defeated to establish the molecular component of the drug. This is because there is no element that is linked with LSD. Scientists, therefore, have used LSD to think and to have fresh minds. It was also used as a social catalyst (Colpaert, Niemegeers, & Janssen, 1982). It helps to change the mindset and acts in a way that suggests that individuals are under the influence of the drug. Such action leads to murder. For that reason, the US government closed all the experiments on LSD.
In conclusion, the reemergence of LSD drug in the world is one of the major issues that is becoming scary.
The drug is used by highly profiled medical researchers to find out whether they can find the exact medical value of the LSD drug. It, therefore, becomes illegal for any person to trade the drug in the market. It is only meant for the licensed medics who are researching on it.
