Hallucinogenic drugs

Hallucinogenic drugs are substances that alter perception, thinking, and senses, often causing individuals to see, hear, or feel things that aren't actually present. These drugs work by affecting the brain's neurotransmitters, particularly serotonin, which influences mood and perception. Common hallucinogens include LSD, psilocybin ("magic mushrooms"), and mescaline. Effects can vary widely, sometimes leading to deeply insightful experiences, but they can also cause confusion, anxiety, or even panic. Due to unpredictable effects and potential risks, these substances are generally regulated and should be approached with caution.
