It is impossible to visually identify the strength or type of drug when buying.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, it is stated that LSD is often added to absorbent paper, such as blotter paper. As noted above, the paper is divided into small, decorated squares (or tabs) with each square representing one dose called a \u2018hit\u2019. LSD can also be found in thin squares of gelatin. LSD is taken by mouth and swallowed or also licked off blotter paper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">LSD is a potent, long-lasting psychoactive substance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Court stated that LSD put on a blotter paper, is capable of being swallowed, after placing it on the tongue. It is thus evident that the blotter paper is capable of being swallowed and is used as one of the methods for consuming LSD.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Merely because the said blotter paper can be licked or put in a glass of water, does not necessarily mean that the blotter paper has to be excluded whilst determining the LSD on the blotter paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court opined that, a blotter paper, a carrier material, ingested with LSD, forms an integral part of the ingestion by the user of the drug and thus, constitutes preparation of the psychotropic substance i.e. LSD.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Elaborating further, Court added that once it is accepted that a blotter paper ingested\/impregnated with LSD, is used as a medium of consumption, the same will squarely fall within the definition of the term &#8216;preparation&#8217;, as defined in Section 2 (xx) of the NDPS Act.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">The blotter paper impregnated or ingested with LSD will have to be considered as a whole, whilst determining whether the quantity is a small or commercial quantity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">With respect to the findings of Supreme Court in <\/span><em style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">Hira Singh\u00a0 v.
