When do the psychological effects of LSD typically peak after administration?

Immediately
10-20 minutes
2-3 hours
4-6 hours

The correct answer is: 2-3 hours

The psychological effects of LSD typically reach their peak around 2 to 3 hours after administration. This is due to the way LSD is absorbed and metabolized in the body. After ingestion, the initial onset of effects may be felt as early as 20 to 60 minutes, but it is during the 2 to 3-hour mark that users often report the most intense alterations in perception, mood, and thought processes. Understanding this timing is crucial for those working in the field of addiction counseling, as it can help in assessing the effects of the substance on an individual and in discussing the experiences and challenges they may face during this timeframe. Recognizing when the peak effects occur allows counselors to provide appropriate support and intervention.
