Hallucinogens
Hallucinogens, or psychedelics affect a person's perceptions, sensations, thinking and emotions. They include drugs such as LSD, mescaline, DMT and peyote. They are used in various ways from tablets to smoking to eating mushrooms. They cause intense physical and psychological effects on the body and mind. Heavy users develop brain damage such as impaired memory and attention span and confusion. Other effects include increased heart rate and blood pressure, sweating, tremors and sleeplessness. Bad trips may result in panic, confusion, suspiciousness, and feelings of helplessness and loss of control. Flashbacks of experiencing the effects without taking the drug can occur. Mood swings and sense of time and self can change causing panic. Mental or emotional problems that were not apparent can be unmasked with use.
