| Comments: | LSD is light sensitive; avoid exposure to sunlight. Confirmation testing is automatically performed on all positive screens at an additional charge. Useful for diagnosis and treatment of LSD use or overdose. LSD is a very powerful hallucinogen of the serotonin class of psychedelics which interferes with the functioning of 5-hydroxytryptamine systems in the brain. A positive test result is only presumptive evidence of LSD usage. If adulteration of specimen is suspected, do not accept for analysis. |
