What Is a Hallucinogen?
Hallucinogens are drugs that make users see images, hear sounds and feel sensations that do not exist. Some hallucinogens also cause users to experience sudden and unpredictable mood swings.
At the age of 16, I was introduced to a drug that I abused for over three years—LSD. What I was unaware of was the fact that LSD is the most potent hallucinogen known to man.
“The drug came on a small piece of paper no bigger than my index finger called a blotter. Fifteen minutes after putting the paper on my tongue, my entire body got hot and I began to sweat.
“Some other reactions that I experienced while on the drug included dilated pupils, nausea and goose bumps. While high on LSD, I felt like there was a huge distortion both in my mind and body. The visual changes as well as the extreme changes in mood were like some strange, scary trip—one in which I felt like I had no control over my mind and body.” —Edith
