Abstract
Lysergic acid amide (LSA) is a natural psychoactive substance consumed as a psychedelic drug. In 2016, 4 cases were reported to the Toulouse Addictovigilance Centre, resulting in unintended psychic effects and led to a hospitalisation in 2 cases. Other cases of serious LSA intoxication are published, including a death. It is important to inform about the risks related to LSA consumption, a substance which is freely available and sometimes hidden behind various plant names.
