I don't know if this is the right subforum, but I have a question about LSD. First of, I do not take drugs. I'm trying to explain it to a friend.

What are the positive (if any) and negative effects on your brain and body when on LSD?

I looked online, but only found forums with a lot of bias. I prefer a scientific perspective.
