Acid (LSD) and magic mushrooms Short term: Acid and magic mushrooms are hallucinogenic, making people see, hear and experience the world in a different, ‘trippy’ way. Colours may become intensified and sounds distorted. Users may also become panicky and suffer from paranoia. The effects of acid can last 12 hours or more which, if it’s a bad trip, can be very frightening. Long term: Some LSD users experience flashbacks. Cannabis (marijuana, weed, dope, skunk) Short term: People smoke cannabis to relax and get high, but it can make it difficult to remember things, even if they’ve only just happened.
