Asia Description. As the largest and most populous continent in the world with just over 3.8 billion people, Asia is composed of a wide variety of ethnic groups, cultures, environments, economics, historical ties, and governmental systems.
Lysergic acid diethylamide, known as LSD, is one of the most powerful hallucinogens out there. It is a drug of extreme unpredictability, and is banned for use in the United States, even though it was once used as a psychiatric drug, and has been used in secret government tests.
LSD is by far the most active and most specific hallucinogen. It is about 5,000 to 10,000 times more active than mescaline, which produces qualitatively nearly the same symptoms. The extremely high potency of LSD is not just a curiosity; it is in many respects of the greatest scientific interest.
