Hallucinogenic drugs

Japanese: 幻覚薬 - げんかくやく

Also known as mind-expanding drugs. These drugs induce hallucinations when taken, and well-known examples include atropine, LSD, marijuana, hashish (cannabis), and mescaline. Hallucinogens have a long history, and there are many cases in which hallucinogenic plants, such as peyote (a type of cactus) in Mexico and Amanita muscaria in Siberia, are taken around the world to induce religious or mythological experiences or to diagnose illnesses.
