Summary
Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) can be detected in urine for up to 12 hours post-ingestion, according to findings from a study involving 50 participants. Using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, the analysis identified specific metabolites of LSD, demonstrating the effectiveness of analytical chemistry in tracking psychedelics. Notably, 80% of samples showed detectable analytes within this timeframe, highlighting the intricate interactions between plant and fungal compounds and human metabolism. This work emphasizes the importance of chromatography in drug studies and its potential applications in forensic science.
