What is LSD?
LSD stands for its chemical name, lysergic acid diethylamide, and is commonly called ‘acid’. It’s a powerful hallucinogenic drug – this means that users are likely to experience a distorted view of objects and reality, including seeing and sometimes hearing things that aren’t there (these are hallucinations). The experience of taking LSD is known as a ‘trip’.
When should I do the test?
This test can be carried out at any time.
To perform the test:
- 1 – Remove the test strip from the foil pouch (do not break the seal of the foil pouch until you are ready to begin the test)
- 2 – Using a plastic cup, obtain a urine sample from the individual who is being tested
- 3 – Carefully dip the testing strip into the urine sample, ensuring that the urine does NOT go above the MAX LINE. Allow the test to absorb the urine for about 10-15 seconds.
- 4 – After 15 seconds, remove the test from the urine, lay the test strip on a clean flat surface while thetest lines develop.
- 5 – You can read negative results as soon as they appear but positive results must be read at least 5 minutes after removing from the urine. All results should be read within 10 minutes, otherwise a false reading may occur.
