Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) is a hallucinogenic drug that gained attention in the 1960s and early 1970s, producing perceptual disturbances that sometimes persisted long after the drug left the system, known as "flashbacks." These flashbacks may have contributed to the drug's decline in recreational use. This report describes histories of LSD use among alcoholism treatment facility inpatients and details flashback characteristics and associated subjective distress. Findings indicate a statistically significant relationship between the number of doses taken and the incidence of flashbacks.
