LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) - How Is It Taken?

How Is It Taken?

LSD is usually taken by mouth. Pure LSD is a crystalline powder, but it is usually dissolved and diluted before being readied for sale. A microscopic amount of LSD is dropped on sugar cubes, blotter paper, or mushrooms, which are then ingested. Blotter papers are perforated sheets of paper—smaller than a postage stamp, square in shape, and decorated with colorful graphics. They are soaked in LSD and sold separately, in sheets, or in books. Sometimes LSD is put on the back of a postage stamp, which is then licked. LSD is also produced in a tablet form called a microdot.

In addition, some users absorb LSD into their systems through their eyes. Thin squares of LSD-laced gelatin, nicknamed "windowpanes" and "contact lenses," are used for this method of intake.
