Hallucinogenic drugs are substances that distort the perception of
objective reality. The most well-known hallucinogens include phencyclidine,
otherwise known as PCP, angel dust, or love boat; lysergic acid diethylamide,
commonly known as LSD or acid; mescaline and peyote; and psilocybin, or
"magic" mushrooms. Under the influence of hallucinogens, the senses of
direction, distance, and time become disoriented. These drugs can produce
unpredictable, erratic, and violent behavior in users that sometimes leads to
serious injuries and death.
