It is from the German "Lysergsäure-diethylamid" where "säure" refers to the acidity. 108.162.240.6 14:39, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

LSD invokes hallucinations, not delirium. By definition, you know when you're hallucinating. Just saying. 108.162.249.111 00:21, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Hallucinations are, in fact, indistinguishable from reality, like delirium. LSD-like effects, where things feel real but you know they aren't are sometimes called pseudohallucinations. Delirants like belladona, datura, mandrake or even nutmeg are more likely produce true hallucinations, usually of the unpleasant kind. GuB (talk) 13:56, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
