LSD is a powerful hallucinogenic substance that distorts perception and causes hearing, visual, and tactile hallucinations. Only 1.7% of people aged 15–64 have tried it in their lifetime, and it generates strong apprehension in the general population. However, ethnographic studies show that its image is rather good among illicit drug users, a representation that stems both from the substance's effects and its historical link to the counterculture of the 1960s–1970s.
