Definitions for "LSD"
A powerful hallucinogenic drug that is illegally sold and consumed throughout the EU. (See Drugs: Synthetic drugs and their chemical precursors)
LSD is the most common hallucinogen and one of the most potent mood-changing chemicals. It is manufactured from lysergic acid, found in a fungus that grows on rye and other grains. LSD, commonly referred to as "acid," is sold on the street in tablets, capsules, and occasionally in liquid form. It is odorless and colorless, with a slightly bitter taste. Users refer to positive LSD experiences as a "trip," and to acute adverse reactions as a "bad trip." Users may experience panic, confusion, suspicions, anxiety, and loss of control. Flashbacks also occur after they stop taking the drug.

Limit States Design. Limit states design is a method of design that is mandated by all Canadian building codes and separates the "factor of safety" into two parts: a load factor and a resistance factor. The load factor is applied to the specified loads to recognize that loads higher than those anticipated may occur and is independent of the structural material. A resistance factor is applied to the theoretical member strength, or resistance, to recognize that the strength of the member cannot be predicted exactly due to variability in material properties, dimensions and workmanship.
long, steady distance. A training technique that requires a firm aerobic pace for at least two hours.
LSD is an abbreviation for "Long, Slow Distance," which refers to the practice of running longer distances at an "easy" pace rather than shorter ones to exhaustion. The slower pace allows the runner to go longer and, therefore (supposedly), gain more fitness.
Long slow distance. A type of training used particularly for early training. Generally means a lot of walking and easy trotting. Increases the fitness of the bones and tendons, which reduces injury when the horse moves on to faster work.

Lysosomal storage disorder. A group of more than 40 genetic diseases that are caused by inborn errors of metabolism and that result in the accumulation of various substances within a compartment of the cell known as the lysosome. People with LSDs are born with a deficiency or dysfunction of certain enzymes found within the lysosome. Synonym of lysosomal storage disorder.

LSD distorts perception of time and space, and creates illusions and hallucinations. It comes in liquid form and most often swallowed after being placed on small pieces of paper. It increases heart rate and blood pressure. Symptoms are nausea, chills, flushes, irregular breathing, sweating and trembling.
LEAST SIGNIFICANT DIGIT. The LSD is the digit whose position within a given number expression has the least weighting power.
