Hallucinogens are substances that induce alterations in perception of space, time and place. They can be found in both nature (cacti, vines and mushrooms) as in man-made synthetic substances, such as LSD, DMT and 2C-B. As long as man has existed, ritual use of these substances has been documented, often for magic and religious purposes. Since the 60s, it has been widely spread among the counter-culture.

(Side) Effects :

• They are also called ‘psychedelics’, which means ‘mind manifesting’.
• A ‘trip’ will amplify existing emotions and alter perception of time and space. These alterations in perception can cause hallucinations, seeing things that are not there, but for the user they are real.
• This amplifying effect can be very strong, and cause a good feeling to develop to ecstasy. Fear can lead to panic. One cannot predict how these emotions will develop and feel like.
• The effects can come back years later, this is called a ‘flashback’.
• The physical effects are minimal, although nausea and vomiting are common.
• The effect and duration of the trip are determined by the kind of substance, the dosage and the initial mood of the user. Also bodyweight and the time between meals affect the trip.
• Some trips can last for more than 24 hours, whereas others can wear off in 6 hours. Examples of synthetic psychedelics are 2C-B, LSD, 2-CT-7, 2-CT-2, DOB, DOI, 2C-I.

• Occasionally, hallucinogens are passed off as Ecstasy. Luckily, most Test Kits will screen for these substances.
• These substances can bear risks for those who are emotionally unstable, depressed, anxious or a propensity toward psychosis. They can induce psychosis or panic attacks. Motor skills are reduced so don’t drive or operate machinery on these substances.
• Most hallucinogens are illegal and possesion may lead to prosecution and sentencing.
