Lesbian
Lesbian is a term used to describe a woman who is only sexually or romantically attracted to other women. The term lesbian can also be used for nonbinary or genderqueer individuals if they so choose. It is not required that these nonbinary or genderqueer people must be assigned female at birth or even that they are feminine-presenting.
The word lesbian was first used in the 16th century to refer to people who hailed from the Greek island Lesbos. Of these people included Sappho, a female homosexual poet who often wrote of her love for women. As a result, she birthed both the terms lesbian and sapphic (the capacity for a woman to be attracted to other women). Sapphic is not quite the same as lesbian; for example, bisexual and pansexual women who are attracted to women are sapphic but not necessarily lesbian.
LGBTQIA+
LGBTQIA+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Ally. The plus is there to include other gender or sexual identities not included in the acronym, like pansexual or nonbinary people. The purpose of the acronym is to be as inclusive as possible while acknowledging queer history.
In some cases, the acronym may be displayed as LGBTQIAA+. This is done to include both asexuals and allies explicitly, as the inclusion of allyship promotes the importance of non-queer advocates in securing queer rights. This helps promote unity between communities with differing cultures and perspectives, contributing to the purpose of the acronym being created in the first place.
LSD (Acid)
LSD, short for lysergic acid diethylamide and commonly known as Acid, is a synthetic hallucinogen. Hallucinogens are substances that induce hallucinations, or false sights, sounds, smells, tastes, or physical feelings that may seem real but aren’t. LSD is known for its relatively harmless psychoactive effects; deaths following use of LSD are very rare, and often occur due to other medical complications.
Some hallucinogens are natural and legal, but LSD is not. This is most likely due to its extremely high potency; even moderate doses of LSD can produce mind-bending, reality-warping effects called “trips”. These trips can be pleasurable or calming, but can often turn unpleasant and scary. Given that there is no way of cutting a trip short, these bad trips can be extremely undesirable and even have lasting psychological effects.
