Acidhead
'''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]]s. 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", "epiphanies", or "[[Ego Death|ego death]]". 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. ⏎
