This type of drugs can alter the mind’s perception of the world. They can cause hallucinations and images that are not actually real. While some hallucinogenic drugs are from natural sources, others are from human-made sources. For centuries, these drugs were a part of religious rituals and ceremonies. However, hallucinogen addiction is a serious problem in society today.

Ayahuasca: Ayahuasca is a type of tea that comes from Amazonian plants. The hallucinogenic property in the tea is DMT. Laboratories also produce DMT to sell on the street. DMT is a powerful hallucinogen with mind-altering properties.

Ketamine: Ketamine is a common ingredient in cough suppressant. It is also used as a surgery anesthetic.

Psilocybin: This drug is illegal, but it grows wild in North and South America. It can cause the individual to hallucinate and their senses feel more vivid than normal.

Salvia divinorum: Known as just Salvia, this plant causes intense hallucinations. Unlike some of the other hallucinogenic drugs, the immediate effects wear off in just a few minutes.

LSD: This is another hallucinogen that is commonly sold on the street. It has mind-altering properties and can cause hallucinations. Some people develop a hallucinogen addiction to this drug.

PCP: Scientists first created this drug in the 1950s as a surgery anesthetic. Because of its severe side effects, doctors stopped using PCP for medical purposes. Unfortunately, this drug can cause a hallucinogen addiction. Once someone quits using it, they can have withdrawal symptoms for more than a year afterward.
