Tab (LSD)
In the context of recreational drug use, a “tab” is a common term used to refer to a small piece of paper or blotter that is soaked with a liquid containing LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide). LSD, also known as acid, is a powerful hallucinogenic substance.
Tabs of LSD are typically small squares or rectangles, often decorated with colourful designs or patterns. They are usually placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve, as LSD is absorbed through the mucous membranes in the mouth.
Each tab of LSD is typically dosed with a specific amount of the drug, which can vary widely. Common dosages range from 50 to 200 micrograms (μg), although higher doses can be found. It is important to note that the potency of LSD can vary, and consuming a single tab can result in profound psychedelic effects that can last for several hours.
It is crucial to approach the use of LSD or any hallucinogenic substance with caution. LSD can have powerful effects on perception, mood, and cognition, leading to altered sensory experiences, hallucinations, and changes in thought patterns. The intensity and duration of these effects can vary widely among individuals.
Using LSD carries potential risks and should be done in a safe and controlled environment with trusted individuals present. It is important to be informed about the potential risks, set and setting (the physical and psychological environment in which the drug is taken), and to avoid using LSD if you have a personal or family history of mental health issues.
If you have any questions or concerns about LSD or other substances, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional or a substance abuse specialist who can provide accurate information, guidance, and support tailored to your specific situation.
