Symptoms
What Are Hallucinogens? There are many types
of hallucinogens that belong to diverse classes.
Hallucinogens' mechanism of action is to create
sensory hallucinations by altering the user's
mind. They start to see, hear, and sense
something that is very different from their
immediate environment. They are of two kinds -
classic hallucinogens and dissociative drugs. The
second group of hallucinogens also causes the
users to have out-of-body experiences as they
dissociate themselves from their
surroundings. Types of hallucinogens can be
extracted from plants, like Ayahuasca and
available in nature, like in Psilocybin mushrooms
or magic mushrooms, or they can be manmade, like
the club drugs LSD, MDMA, and PCP. Dissociative
drugs are synthetically made, usually for medical
purposes. These include the surgery anesthetic
ketamine and Dextromethorphan, which is found in
OTC medicine, such as cough syrups. Classic
hallucinogens uses are mostly used for
recreation, in religious rituals, or to have
transcendental and spiritual experiences. Ways of
consuming hallucinogens ? Swallowing pills or
liquid ? Intaking raw or dried forms ?
Sublingual absorption (placing blotter paper on
tongue) ? Injecting ? Snorting
Hallucinogens Intoxication Although it is
relatively rare to get physically dependent, it
is not impossible to have hallucinogens addiction.

control When hallucinogens are taken for the very
purpose of creating distortions in the users'
perception of reality, it is more likely that
their intention is to get high more often. So,
they start taking more and more of these drugs
and develop tolerance. Hallucinogens overdose can
occur, but the intensity depends on the kind of
drug taken and the combination with other
intoxicants. However, most of the hallucinogens
produce unpleasant effects, some even
life-threatening medical emergencies. Especially
with dissociative drugs, when taken in high
doses, along with CNS depressants can lead to
coma or death. Users can also face fatalities
when they mistake some poisonous mushrooms for
Psilocybin mushrooms. Physical issues are not the
only problems of hallucinogens overdose but
profound alteration in the brain's perception can
cause people to have suicidal feelings and they
can be a threat to others, too. Hallucinogens
Addiction Symptoms The level of risk of addiction
posed by different hallucinogens vary, but
certain drugs can create a tolerance for more
potent ones. For instance, LSD in itself may not
be addictive, but taking it frequently will make
your body tolerant and more receptive to more
dangerous hallucinogens like psilocybin, DMT, and
others. Compared to that, PCP and ayahuasca tea
have a deeper impact on the users' psyche.
Particularly when you abuse hallucinogens and
alcohol together, the results will be more
unpredictable. Hallucinogens addiction side
effects include ? Loss of appetite ?
Impulsiveness ? Distorted thinking ?
Psychosis ? Feelings of detachment - 1.
derealization detachment from reality and 2.
depersonalization detachment from the body ?
Effects of hallucinogens on the brain and body
? Effects of hallucinogens on the central nervous
system

? Seizures
? Flushed skin ? Tremors ? Numbness ?
Respiratory and cardiac issues ? Kidney
failure Since most hallucinogens effects are
Schedule I controlled substances, they have a
high abuse potential, which means the users crave
more of the drugs. And when they do not find
these drugs, they go into hallucinogens
withdrawal symptoms mode.
