While LSD remains one of the most popular compounds when we’re talking about psychedelics, one of the main questions for people who are now learning about these compounds and expecting to take them in the safest way possible is “How long does an LSD trip last?” While some of the effects last 8 to 12 hours, the peak experience occurs only a few hours after taking it (this, of course, can vary person to person). However, it’s essential to have a notion of what we are in for before trying these compounds, to understand what a trip might look like and what we can do in a harm-reduction sense to minimize the potential harms during such trips.
