'''LSD''' (d-lysergic acid diethylamide) is one of the most potent mood-changing chemicals. Chemist Albert Hofmann, working at the Sandoz Corporation pharmaceutical laboratory in Switzerland, first synthesized LSD in 1938. He was conducting research on possible medical applications of various lysergic acid compounds derived from ergot, a [[fungus]] that develops on [[Rye|rye grass]]. Searching for compounds with therapeutic value, Hofmann created more than two dozen ergot-derived synthetic molecules. <ref>[http://www.drugabuse.gov/ResearchReports/Hallucinogens/Hallucinogens.html National Institute on Drug Abuse, Research Report: Hallucinogens and Dissociative Drugs, March 2001]</ref>

LSD is illegally sold on the street in tablets, capsules, and occasionally in liquid form. It is an odorless and colorless substance with a slightly bitter taste that is usually ingested orally. It is often added to absorbent paper, such as blotter paper, and divided into small decorated squares, with each square representing one dose. <ref>[http://www.drugabuse.gov/infofacts/lsd.html National Institute on Drug Abuse, InfoFacts: LSD, February 2005]</ref>
