Hallucinogen

Hallucinogens are substances that alter perception, thoughts, and feelings, causing users to see, hear, or feel things that aren't actually present. These drugs affect the brain's communication pathways, especially those involved with sensory processing, leading to distorted experiences of reality. Common examples include LSD, psilocybin (magic mushrooms), and DMT. While some people seek them for spiritual or recreational reasons, they can also cause unpredictable effects such as anxiety, paranoia, or hallucinations that may be distressing or dangerous. Their use carries potential risks and legal restrictions depending on the substance and jurisdiction.
