LSD-25 (120µg)
is the research code name for lysergic acid diethylamide, a potent synthetic psychedelic drug and hallucinogen belonging to the lysergamide class. Discovered in 1938 by Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann and first experienced in 1943, it is approximately 10,000 times more potent than mescaline by weight.
While primarily known as a psychoactive substance, the name “LSD-25” is also used for a popular indica-dominant marijuana strain characterized by euphoric and psychedelic effects, high THC levels (up to 27%), and purple buds with citric or diesel flavors.
