چکیده
Any of a number of drugs acting on the central nervous system in such a way as to cause mental disturbance, imaginary experiences, coma, and even death. Many of these are narcotics and/or alkaloids; some are derived from plants and others are made synthetically. They differ in degree of addiction and hallucinatory effect. Their sale and possession (other than by physicians) is illegal in the U.S. The most common hallucinogens are cannabis (marijuana, hashish), lysergic acid (LSD), amphetamine, and numerous morphine derivatives.
