Use of Specific Hallucinogens: 2006. The NSDUH Report

摘要

Hallucinogens are drugs that distort a persons perception of reality. Hallucinogens such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), phencyclidine (PCP), ketamine, and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or Ecstasy) are man-made chemicals.While others, such as psilocybin mushrooms and the herb Salvia divinorum, occur in nature. These drugs can produce visual and auditory hallucinations, feelings of detachment from ones environment and oneself, and distortions in time and perception. Other effects can include mood swings, elevated body temperature and blood pressure, psychotic-like effects, seizures, and intense feelings of sensory detachment.
