LSD

LSD is manufactured from a fungus that grows on rye and other grains and is one of the most potent chemicals and poisonous substances on Earth. It is produced in crystal form in illegal labs. These crystals are converted to a liquid for distribution. LSD is sold on the street in small tablets "microdots", capsules or gelatin squares "window panes". It is also added to small squares of paper. Its effects are unpredictable.
