odorless, colorless, and has a slightly bitter taste.
Known as “acid” and by many other names, LSD is sold on the street in
small tablets (“microdots”), capsules or gelatin squares (“window
panes”). It is sometimes added to absorbent paper, which is then
divided into small squares decorated with designs or cartoon characters
(“loony toons”). Occasionally it is sold in liquid form. But no matter what
form it comes in, LSD leads the user to the same place—a serious
