Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Psychedelic drugs change one’s mood, behaviour, thoughts, feelings and perceptions, without any true sensory stimulus.
They cause hallucinations [a sense perception (sight, touch, sound, smell or taste) that has no basis in external stimulation].
LSD causes hallucinations, altered perceptions, and can lead to anxiety, paranoia, and disorientation, but does not typically cause chronic psychosis or severe damage to the central nervous system.
It also leads to chromosomal and fetal abnormalities.
An LSD addict can be easily recognised by changes in behavior and speech.
