Where Do Hallucinogens Come From?
Some hallucinogens can be found in plants. Mescaline comes from a cactus called peyote. And certain mushrooms, also known as magic mushrooms, are hallucinogens. But many hallucinogens are chemicals that don’t occur in nature. Some examples are: • LSD, also called acid; • MDA, an amphetamine, a type of drug I explore in my magazine about stimulants in more detail; • MDMA, an amphetamine, called ecstasy; • PCP (phencyclidine), often called angel dust.
