Hallucinogens
Hallucinogens are drugs that affect a person’s perceptions, sensations, thinking, selfawareness
and emotions.
One common type of hallucination caused by these drugs is called synesthesia, which
means a transposing of the senses.
Sounds for example, may be transposed into sights.
Sights, for example, may be transposed into odors or sounds.
Some hallucinogenic drugs come from natural sources:
• Peyote is an hallucinogen found in a particular specie of cactus.
• Psilocybin is an hallucinogen found in a number of species of mushroom.
Other hallucinogens are synthetically manufactured:
• LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide)
• MDA (3, 4-Methylene-dioxyamphetamine)
• MDMA (Ecstasy)
• Many others
