Class of Drug Hallucinogens are a diverse group of drugs that alter perception (awareness of surrounding objects and conditions), thoughts, and feelings. They cause hallucinations, or sensations and images that seem real though they are not. Hallucinogens can be found in some plants and mushrooms (or their extracts) or can be human-made.

Paraphernalia with LSD Blotted paper- Each dose is a perforated paper square (about 1/4 inch) dipped in or applied with liquid LSD. The small papers often include an artistic image or coloring. Sugar cubes – Sugar cubes were the original delivery system and remain in use today. Gelatin – Like sugar, people typically do not have small packages of colored gelatin in random places. Gelatin is another popular delivery method of LSD. Tablets – The multi-purpose use of tablets make them a less-telling sign, but watch for orange tablets and tiny microdots as they have distinct histories in LSD use.
