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
