What are Hallucinogens?

Hallucinogenic drugs - both natural and synthetic - are substances that distort a person’s perception of reality. These drugs excite the central nervous system and alter the mind, usually causing euphoric feelings, but sometimes causing severe depression.

What are the effects of Hallucinogens?

Under the influence of hallucinogens, users’ pupils dilate and their body temperature and blood pressure rise. Hallucinogens distort users senses of direction, distance and time. If taken in large doses, the drug produces delusions and hallucinations. Under the influence of hallucinogens, users may speak of seeing sounds and hearing colors. Like most drugs recurrent use produces tolerance.

Long after hallucinogens have ceased, users may experience “flashbacks” - small recurrences of psychedelic effects - such as intensification of perceived color, motion of a fixed object or mistaking one object for another.
