'''Acidhead''' is a word, often [[derogatory]], for someone who regularly uses the substance [[Lysergic Acid Diethylamide]], which to many is known as '''[[LSD]]''' or '''acid'''.

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, is a drug which some consider hard to [[Drug abuse|abuse]], claiming that it is difficult to use in the same manner as the familiar substances of abuse such as [[alcohol]] or [[opiate|opiates]]. Because of its rapid onset of [[Drug tolerance|tolerance]] it is virtually impossible to use on an every day basis. 

In large doses the user can experience what some refer to as, "great insights", "blinding truths", "revelations" or "epiphanys." It is this characteristic which gave the drug successes in its trials as a tool in [[psychotherapy]].

An acidhead will sometimes appear unable to interact with their surroundings because of the [[Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants|psychedelic and hallucinogenic]] effect of the drug.
