Hallucinogens

Hallucinogens are a class of substances that significantly alter perception, mood, and cognitive processes. When consumed, they can cause vivid visual and auditory hallucinations, as well as changes in thought patterns and emotions. Common hallucinogens include substances like LSD, psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms), and mescaline. The effects can vary widely based on the individual, the dose, and the environment. While some people report profound, enlightening experiences, others may encounter anxiety or confusion. These substances have been used in various cultural and spiritual contexts, as well as researched for their potential therapeutic benefits.
