The effects of L.S.D. can depend on the users mood, where they are and who they are with. Users experience trips differently every time. Once the trip starts there is no way of stopping it and a bad trip can be terrifying. Users may feel threatened, depressed, and panicky. Users of L.S.D. may even think that they are going mad and forget that it is the drug that is responsible.

It’s impossible to predict a bad trip but it’s more likely to happen if the user is feeling anxious, nervous or uncomfortable. Accidents are likely to occur while users are hallucinating.
