hallucinogens

Explanation:

Hallucinogens distort sensory impressions giving rise to illusions, hallucinations, that is, the subject perceives objects or sensations that do not really exist. Hallucinogens are psychotropics that are classified as psychodileptic by Delay, who defined psychodyslepsy as the mental disturbance caused by certain substances that produced a delusional distortion in the appreciation of reality.

The reactions perceived when consumed differ not only according to the substance and dose consumed, but according to the emotional state, the physical condition of the consumer and, above all, the environment or circumstance in which it is located. This makes it possible to have opposite or expected ambivalent reactions: states of relaxation and anxiety or tension; Of happiness and sadness.
