Due to its potentially harmful effects, LSD is illegal in the United States since it is considered to be a Schedule 1 drug. However, the harmful effects of LSD are not yet confirmed, so there is still some speculation surrounding the drug. Despite this, people sometimes bring harm to themselves and others while they are on the drug, usually because they are extremely out of reality.
