Psychedelic Drugs

Psychedelic drugs are substances that significantly alter perception, mood, and cognitive processes. They include compounds like LSD, psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms), and DMT. These drugs can lead to vivid visual and auditory experiences, often referred to as "trips." They work by interacting with serotonin receptors in the brain. While some people use psychedelics for recreational purposes, there is growing research into their potential therapeutic benefits for conditions like depression and PTSD. However, they can also cause anxiety or distress, emphasizing the importance of caution and responsible use.
