To sign 'LSD', you simply fingerspell the letters L, S, and D. Start with your dominant hand in an 'L' handshape, extending your index finger and thumb. Next, transition into an 'S' handshape by making a fist with your thumb wrapped across the front of your fingers. Finally, form a 'D' handshape by pointing your index finger up while your thumb and remaining fingers touch to form a circle.
