| | Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Certain drugs can affect the subjective qualities of perception, thought or emotion, resulting in altered interpretations of sensory input, alternate states of consciousness, or hallucinations. | | | Non-religious reasons for the use of hallucinogens including spiritual, introspective, psychotherapeutic, recreational and even hedonistic motives, each subject to some degree of social disapproval, have all been defended as the legitimate exercising of civil liberties, including freedom of thought. | | | A dissociative is a drug which reduces (or blocks) signals to the conscious mind from other parts of the brain, typically (but not necessarily, or limited to) the physical senses. |

| | CSP - 'Hallucinogenic Drugs and Their Psychotherapeutic Use' by Richard Crocket, R. A. Sandison, and Alexander Walk |
| | Drugs which increase work, or endurance, or life, are taken with little hesitation: it is only drugs which increase energy blindly and without social relevance that are mistrusted. | | | Just as Wittgenstein said that his whole aim in practicing philosophy was to be able to stop practicing philosophy, so the eventual aim in using hallucinogenic drugs may well be to make it possible not to have to use them. | | | The religious significance of experience under hallucinogenic drugs thus is limited if not connected to a moral and therapeutic action. |

| | Hallucinogenic Drugs in Psychiatric Research and Treatment |
| | The study of hallucinogenic drugs in humans was, and remains, important for several reasons. | | | The use of experienced hallucinogen users may reduce the traumatic nature of high-dose hallucinogen sessions, and is recommended for psychopharmacological research. | | | The importance of combined 5-HT/DA antagonism corresponds to efficacy in schizophrenia treatment with "atypical" antipsychotic medications (Meltzer, 1989), and suggests that antagonists to hallucinogens' behavioral effects in humans may be efficacious in schizophrenia. |

| | The Effects of Hallucinogenic Drugs on The Brain |
| | Because hallucinogenic drugs are structurally similar to serotonin, it was theorized that hallucinogenic drugs may act upon serotonergic neurons (B.L. Jacobs, "How Hallucinogenic Drugs Work"). | | | Another aspect of hallucinogenic drugs that interests scientists is that they are psychomimetic meaning that they mimic certain aspects of psychosis. | | | This means that a user of hallucinogenic drugs develops a higher tolerance to hallucinogens, the more they are used and the shorter the time span is between the last usage. |

| | Non-hallucinogenic drugs are relaxing, while hallucinogenic drugs are exciting and stimulate thought. | | | Hallucinogenic drugs (henceforth referred to as HD) will warp you perception to a point where objectivity is not guaranteed. | | | All drugs change the way your mind and/or body works; entheogens change you in such a way that you think and feel things that you would ordinarily never think or feel. |

| | Using occult theory, what we can say is that hallucinogenic drugs severely affect the behavior of the chakras. | | | So from the very beginning the hallucinogenic drugs have been viewed from totally opposite points of view: doctors initially equated the drugs' effects with psychosis, and intellectuals equated the drugs' effects with profound religious experiences. | | | Somehow, the drug confers changes in the endocrine system of the body that result in the stimulation of the kundalini. |

| | The effects of LSD are unpredictable, and as with any other drug, depend on the amount taken, the user's personality, mood and expectations, past experience of the drug and the surroundings in which the drug is taken. | | | Hallucinogens (or psychedelic drugs) affect a person's perception of sights, sounds, touch, smell etc. Some of the stronger drugs can exert powerful effects on the user's thinking and self-awareness. | | | It is associated with the dance culture, and so is often perceived as a 'party' or 'weekend' drug, unlike heroin or amphetamines, which tend to be more regularly. |

| | Users refer to LSD and other hallucinogenic experiences as "trips" and to the acute adverse experiences as "bad trips." Although most LSD trips include both pleasant and unpleasant aspects, the drug's effects are unpredictable and may vary with the amount ingested and the user's personality, mood, expectations, and surroundings. | | | Hallucinogenic drugs have played a role in human life for thousands of years. | | | Distributed throughout the brain and spinal cord, the serotonin system is involved in the control of behavioral, perceptual, and regulatory systems, including mood, hunger, body temperature, sexual behavior, muscle control, and sensory perception. |

| | She reviewed the historical context of hallucinogen research, citing the mescaline phase of research as beginning in the late 1800s and giving way to the LSD phase beginning in 1943, and then finally describing research with PCP in the 1950s. | | | In 1962, Hollister argued against the hallucinogen experience as a model for psychosis, describing the ongoing debate of the appropriateness of hallucinogens as psychotomimetics (mimicking psychosis). | | | Several of the European presenters were using the APZ questionnaire as an outcome measurement of the subjects' experiences with study drugs. |
