Hallucinogens Addiction 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.

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
