Bengaluru: The city police arrested peddlers and seized 1000 LSD strips worth 50 Lakhs, informed Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime, Sandeep Patil.
Taking to Twitter he wrote, “These may seem to be ordinary looking colour papers.. but r highly intoxicating LSD strips..CCB Anti Narcotics wing led by PI Virupaksha detect another drug procurement done through DARNET..2 peddlers arrested & 1000 LSD strips worth 50 Lakhs seized.”
LSD (D-lysergic acid diethylamide) is the most common hallucinogen, a group of drugs that alter awareness of perception, thoughts and feelings. It is one of the most powerful mood-changing chemicals. It is made from lysergic acid, which is found in ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains.
The effects of LSD are unpredictable and occur based on factors such as on the amount taken, a person’s personality, mood, expectations and the surroundings in which the drug is used. The ability to make sound judgments and see common dangers is impaired, leading to a risk of injury.
In some people, LSD can cause flashbacks, recurrence of certain drug experiences even if the user doesn’t take the drug again. In some people, flashbacks can persist and affect daily functioning, a condition known as hallucinogen persisting perceptual disorder (HPPD).
LSD does produce tolerance, so some people who take the drug repeatedly must take higher doses to achieve the same effect. This is an extremely dangerous practice, given the unpredictability of the drug. In addition, LSD produces tolerance to other hallucinogens, including psilocybin.
