Short Term Effects

After a single dose(tab) the full effects of the LSD trip will begin within 30-45 minutes after ingestion and depending on the tab strength my last from 7-12 hours. Appearing first are physical effects including: numbness; muscle weakness and trembling; rapid reflexes; increased blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature; impaired motor skills and coordination; dilated pupils; nausea; and, occasionally, seizures.

Dramatic changes in perception, thought, and mood occur shortly after the physical effects. They can be placed into two main groups, Depersonalisation and
Derealization.

Depersonalisation is where the user, in their mind leaves their body and sees themselves from a distance.

Derealization is a dreamlike state, where the user is unable to establish whether or not they are dreaming.

Broadly speaking though, some of the effects on the user may be:

	vivid, usually visual, "pseudo-hallucinations" that the user is aware are not real
	distorted perceptions of: time (minutes seem like hours); distance (hazardous if operating motor vehicles or standing near balcony edges); gravity (sensations of floating or being pressed down); the space between oneself and one's environment (for some, a feeling of oneness with the universe, for others, a feeling of terror)
	fusion of the senses (music is "seen," colors "heard")
	diminished control over thought processes, resulting in recent or long-forgotten memories resurfacing and blending with current experience, or in insignificant thoughts or objects taking on deep meaning
	feelings of a mystical, religious, or cosmic nature (generally the most desired effect)
