Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), known as acid, belongs to a class of drugs known as hallucinogens, which distort perceptions of reality. LSD is the most potent mood-and perception-altering drug known: doses as small as 30 micro grams can produce effects lasting six to 12 hours. LSD is produced synthetically from a fungus that grows on rye grass. This odorless, colorless, and slightly bitter-tasting chemical is generally ingested orally and absorbed from the gastrointestinal system. Manufacturers commonly distribute LSD in small squares of absorbent paper soaked with the drug, which users chew and swallow. Use of LSD and other hallucinogens by secondary school students has decreased since 1998, but has increased among older teens and young adults attending dance clubs and all-night raves, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
