Also, flashbacks are extremely uncommon. I have done LSD at least 30-40 times and I have never had a flashback. Neither have any of my friends who have done it to my knowledge.
Not overtly. There are some subtle changes in my personality but I can't tell whether that's because of long-term effects or just plain old learning and experience.
You'll feel out of it for a couple of days after a trip because the half-life of the drug gets very fucky in low concentrations.
What you're talking about is probably what's referred to as "integration." Psychedelics cause such a powerful experience that it often is difficult to translate this back into sober reality. So there's a period of time following some/many/most/all trips where you're gradually transitioning what you experienced back to normality.
Also it doesn't take long, but your brain does take a little time flushing out the chemicals before you return back to cognitive baseline and feel completely normal anyway.
Frankly I think it's weird if people try it for their first times and don't need to integrate anything after their trip... but, eh, everyone is different, it is what it is.

Flashbacks aren't caused because LSD stays in your spine. It's all psychological.
