Hallucinogens are a category of drugs that can cause altered perceptions such as sights, sounds, feelings, and the sense of time. They have been used throughout history by various cultures for spiritual purposes or medical use. Common hallucinogenic drugs include LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, PCP, mescaline, ketamine, and ecstasy. While some can be physically dangerous, all can potentially cause psychological dependence or long-term mental health issues from continued use. Side effects range from changes in mood to more severe reactions like convulsions or death.

Hallucinogens are drugs taken recreationally to alter thoughts, perceptions and emotions. The hallucinogens, more commonly known as psychedelics, produce visual, auditory and other sensory hallucinations--experiences that are not real.
Euphoria may occur, but these drugs also commonly cause agitation, confusion, anxiety, paranoia, delusions, loss of social inhibitions, and wildly labile emotions.
Large doses of hallucinogens can cause psychosis, ruptured brain blood vessels, brain damage, seizures, and potentially fatal respiratory and heart failure. According to the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, approximately 1.1 million Americans use hallucinogenic drugs.
