Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A flashback, or involuntary recurrent memory, is a psychological phenomenon in which an individual has a sudden, usually powerful, re-experiencing of a past experience or elements of a past experience. These experiences can be frightful, happy, sad, exciting, or any number of other emotions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, can alter perception (awareness of surrounding objects and conditions), thoughts, and feelings. It can also cause hallucinations-sensations and images that seem real even though they’re not. These “trips” can last many hours, long after LSD has been cleared from the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-3: -This means it acts on your brain (central nervous system) and changes your mood, behavior, and the way you relate to the world around you. LSD affects the action of a brain chemical called serotonin. Serotonin helps control behavior, mood, the senses, and thinking. LSD is in a class of drugs called hallucinogens.
