The Effects and Dangers of Hallucinogen Abuse

Hallucinogens, such as LSD, psilocybin (magic mushrooms), DMT, and peyote, alter perception, mood, and cognition. While some users seek hallucinogens for their mind-altering experiences, frequent or high-dose use can result in severe psychological distress, paranoia, and long-term cognitive issues.

Recognizing the Signs of Hallucinogen Addiction:

• Distorted Perception of Reality: Experiencing hallucinations, delusions, or detachment from surroundings.

• Severe Mood Swings: Sudden shifts in emotions, from euphoria to panic or anxiety.

• Impaired Judgment and Decision-Making: Increased risk-taking behavior, engaging in dangerous activities.

• Flashbacks and Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD): Re-experiencing hallucinations long after use.

• Social Withdrawal and Isolation: Avoiding friends, family, and responsibilities.

• Dependence and Psychological Cravings: Feeling the need to use hallucinogens to cope with life.
