Use of hallucinogenic substances as a public health concern has increased over the past decade. Among adolescents, there are increasing emergency department presentations for intoxication with these drugs, contrary to decreasing reported use of classical hallucinogens such as LSD. Academic and governmental groups have monitored use of hallucinogens, highlighting a notable change in perceptions about use among adolescents thought to contribute to these trends. Special populations and religious groups, though, have been granted governmental permission to use hallucinogens for their cultural practices. Novel designer hallucinogens have gained popularity and may have serious medical and psychological side effects from use.
在过去十年中，将致幻物质作为一个公共卫生问题的情况有所增加。在青少年中，因这些药物中毒而前往急诊科就诊的人数不断增加，这与报告的诸如麦角酸二乙酰胺（LSD）等经典致幻剂使用量下降形成反差。学术和政府团体对致幻剂的使用进行了监测，强调了青少年对使用致幻剂的看法发生了显著变化，认为这促成了这些趋势。不过，特殊人群和宗教团体已获得政府许可，可在其文化习俗中使用致幻剂。新型合成致幻剂已开始流行，使用后可能会产生严重的医学和心理副作用。
