LSD art is any art or visual displays inspired by psychedelic experiences and hallucinations known to follow the ingestion of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide, also known colloquially as acid).[1] Artists and scientists have been interested in the effect of LSD on drawing and painting since it first became available for legal use and general consumption.[2]
LSD causes visual hallucinations, audiovisual synesthesia, and experiences of de-realisation.[1] These effects provide inspiration for artists, who may illustrate their hallucinations.
