Under "Society and Culture" we have "Modern Distribution." The section opens with a claim about how LSD is produced, and then cites two sources that are both from >50 years ago. The section then goes on to speculate on DEA priorities, using citation 188. Full text of citation 188: "LSD: The Drug." No year, publisher, author, or additional context.
The rest of the section is well-cited, and should be the only text in the section. It *could* be consolidated into a single paragraph and rewritten but even as-is, it's much more relevant than the first two blurbs. 63.224.248.97 ( talk) 17:09, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Lysergic acid diethylamide → LSD – Per WP:COMMONNAME and MOS:ACROTITLE: this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the abbreviation and LSD is the common name for the topic. PhotographyEdits ( talk) 15:26, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
here is nothing wrong with redirectsbut that sometimes causes problems with recognizability of the subject -- "LSD" is more recognizable than what appears to be "LAD" at first glance. ~~ lol1VNIO (I made a mistake? talk to me) 17:08, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
As I began reading through the article, I noticed that some of the word choices are questionable. I feel words & phrases like "trip" and "cause mystical experiences" are unprofessional and therefore do not belong as per WP:TONE. As a very new editor, I would appreciate assistance in maintaining professional language throughout the article. -- Destructaconn ( talk) 07:15, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
As of the time signed at the end of this paragraph, I have replaced both above quoted examples of informal language, and replaced them with something more fitting. In addition, I have fixed an unrelated grammatical error. However, I am now noticing something else. Some choice words in the article appear somewhat positively biased towards LSD and its effects as a whole; while the phrase "In contrast to schizophrenia, LSD induces transcendental experiences with lasting psychological benefit." is accurate based on the sources it cites, it uses language that implies such experiences are always and can only be positive, which I feel is misleading and very possibly biased. Combing through the article and replacing phrases like these with more neutral language would help in bringing this article to a WP:NPOV. -- Destructaconn ( talk) 08:01, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
it uses language that implies such experiences are always and can only be positive, which I feel is misleading and very possibly biasedThat may just be your interpretation, since the lede notes that
Adverse psychological reactions are possible, such as anxiety, paranoia, and delusions.[7] LSD is active in small amounts relative to other psychoactive compounds with doses measured in micrograms.[20] It is possible for LSD to induce either intermittent or chronic visual hallucinations, in spite of no further use. Common effects include visual snow and palinopsia. In cases where this causes distress or impairment it is diagnosed as hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD)
Mystical experiences were assessed 24 h after drug administration using the States of Consciousness Questionnaire [25, 26] that includes the 43-item Mystical Effects Questionnaire (MEQ43) [25], 30-item Mystical Effects Questionnaire (MEQ30)

Alterations of mind and mystical-type effects are shown in Figs. 2, S2, respectively.

"Mystical experience" is also used in scholarly contexts, see Scholarly_approaches_to_mysticism#Mystical_experience.As for "trip", I think "experience" fits better than "trip" for WP:TONE. -- WikiLinuz ( talk) 03:46, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Acute mystical-type experiences that are acutely induced by hallucinogens are thought to contribute to their potential therapeutic effects. However, no data have been reported on LSD-induced mystical experiences [...] On the MEQ, 200 μg LSD induced mystical experiences that were comparable to those in patients who underwent LSD-assisted psychotherapy [...]

some of the syntax in that area could be reworked so that something such as "Psychedelic experiences (colloquially known as 'trips') with LSD on average last for 8-12 hours, sometimes up to 20 hours." would work- agree. For instance, Mental disorders under LSD#Psychological_effects states,
LSD may trigger panic attacks or feelings of extreme anxiety, known colloquially as a "bad trip".-- WikiLinuz ( talk) 03:52, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
DMT may trigger adverse psychological reactions, known colloquially as a "bad trip", such as intense fear, paranoia, anxiety, panic attacks, and substance-induced psychosis, particularly in predisposed individuals-- WikiLinuz ( talk) 03:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
