Hallucinogens are among the oldest known group of drugs
used for their ability to alter human perception and mood.
For centuries, many of the naturally occurring
hallucinogens found in plants and fungi have been used
for a variety of shamanistic practices.

In more recent years, a number of synthetic hallucinogens
have been produced, some of which are much more
potent than their naturally occurring counterparts.

The biochemical, pharmacological, and physiological basis
for hallucinogenic activity is not well understood. Even the
name for this class of drugs is not ideal, since
hallucinogens do not always produce hallucinations.

However, taken in non-toxic dosages, these substances
produce changes in perception, thought, and mood.
Physiological effects include elevated heart rate, increased
blood pressure, and dilated pupils.

Sensory effects include perceptual distortions that vary
with dose, setting, and mood. Psychic effects include
disorders of thought associated with time and space. Time
may appear to stand still and forms and colors seem to
change and take on new significance.

This experience may be either pleasurable or extremely
frightening. It needs to be stressed that the effects of
hallucinogens are unpredictable each time they are used.

Weeks or even months after some hallucinogens have
been taken, the user may experience
flashbacks--fragmentary recurrences of certain aspects of
the drug experience in the absence of actually taking the
drug.

The occurrence of a flashback is unpredictable, but is more
likely to occur during times of stress and seem to occur
more frequently in younger individuals. With time, these
episodes diminish and become less intense.
