  1. By Calvin Sumter and Anthony Sciabarrasi Hallucinogens

  2. What are Hallucinogens? • These are drugs that make you change your perception of reality. • They can cause you to see or hear things that are not real, or they distort things that are real.

  3. What do they do? • It causes sensations of the following: • Anxiety • Paranoia • Complete Psychosis ( a complete loss with realty) • They can lead us to do dangerous things unconsciously, which could lead to fatalities.

  4. Main effects • The effects of hallucinogens begin within half an hour of taking the drug, are strongest in three to five hours, and last for up to 12 hours. • They can include: • seeing, hearing, touching or smelling things in a distorted way or that don't exist (you usually know that what you are sensing is not real); • intense sensory experiences (e.g. colors become very bright, sounds become sharper); • mixing of the senses (e.g. you 'hear' colors or 'see' sounds); • changed sense of time (e.g. minutes can seem as slow as hours, or you can 're-live' something that happened a long time ago); • space becomes distorted strange bodily sensations (e.g. as though you are floating or being pulled down by gravity, or that you are becoming part of another object); • changed and intense thoughts emotional swings (e.g. change from intense happiness to deep sadness).

  5. How do they Work? • Hallucinogens disrupt how your nerve cells and the neurotransmitter, Serotonin, interacts throughout the brain and spinal cord. • This leads to psychedelic trances and a loss with reality.
