Severe hallucinations, panic attacks, a dissociative state, and flashback of an experience on acid are re-lived after the drug has worn off. What the flashback means, is that basically the person acts as if on acid when in reality her or she is not, in fact, on acid.

But because of the effects such as depression that could perhaps lead to suicidal thoughts. Cardiac arrest can chemically trigger something else in the body such as regulated blood flow to fail, therefore causing blood clots (LSD overdose, what to know about the dangers of …show more content…
