Hallucinogens, or psychedelics, are substances/drugs that have been used for over a millennium. The most well known are LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, and PCP. These substances may induce hallucinations as well as cause somatic and psychological symptoms. Because of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, there has been very little research done to determine the long-term consequences or perhaps potential benefit of misuse and abuse of hallucinogens. Typically, these drugs are not abused but more often misused. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in these compounds, which may lead to possible therapeutic options.
致幻剂,或迷幻剂,是一种被使用了超过一千年的物质/药物。其中最为人熟知的有 LSD、裸盖菇素、三甲氧苯乙胺和苯环利定。这些物质可能会引起幻觉,同时导致躯体和心理症状。由于 1970 年的《管制物质法案》,几乎没有进行过任何研究来确定误用和滥用致幻剂的长期后果或潜在益处。通常,这些药物不是被滥用,而是更多地被误用。最近,人们对这些化合物重新产生了兴趣,这可能会带来可能的治疗选择。
