Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LSD flashbacks, also known as hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD), are distorted perceptions that mimic a previous LSD experience, even though the person has stopped using the drug. These flashbacks usually occur suddenly and without warning, and can be frightening and distressing for the individual experiencing them. They can last for seconds to hours, and sometimes for months or even years. It is not fully understood what causes HPPD, but it is believed to be related to changes in the brain caused by LSD use. It is not experienced by all LSD users and is not caused by emotional events occurring while under the influence of LSD.
