How exactly does the drug L.S.D. work?

Answer 1

Lysergic acid diethylamide, better known as LSD, is a chemical that alters a user's mood, thoughts or perceptions. For this reason, LSD is grouped into a class of drugs known as hallucinogens or psychedelics. These drugs can cause auditory, visual or somatosensory hallucinations, paranoia or dream-like states.
LSD is water soluble, odorless, colorless and tasteless - it is a very powerful drug - a dose as small as a single grain of salt (about 0.010 mg) can produce some effects. Psychedelic effects are produced at higher doses of about 0.050-0.100 mg. The effects of LSD depend on a user's mood and expectations of what the drug will do and last several hours. The behavioral effects that LSD can produce include:
Feelings of "strangeness"
Vivid colors
Hallucinations
Confusion, panic, psychosis, anxiety
Emotional reactions like fear, happiness or sadness
Distortion of the senses and of time and space
"Flashback" reactions - these are the effects of LSD that occur even after the user has not taken LSD for months or even years.
Increases in heart rate and blood pressure
Chills
Muscle weakness



Tolerance to the effects of LSD develops quickly and users must increase their intake of LSD to get the same effects. The exact neural pathways that are affected by LSD are not completely known. LSD has a chemical structure that is very similar to the neurotransmitter called serotonin. It is thought that the effects of LSD are caused by stimulation of serotonin receptors on neurons, perhaps in the brain area called the raphe nuclei. However, it is still not clear what produces all the effects of LSD.

Answer 2

Check out info on the net regarding TIMOTHY LEARY. Obviously it is a halucinogen so it affects the chemical make up of that part of the brain. Look up halucinogen - d-lysergic acid diethalemide or LSD on the net. I am sure you can find the answers there. Leary was the biggest name with LSD. He experimented with the stuff for years and had a LOT to say about it in books and in public. Check him out if you are into the stuff.
