Hallucinogens affect a person's perceptions, sensations, thinking, self-awareness, and emotions.
Some hallucinogens come from natural sources, while others, such as LSD, are synthetic or manufactured.
Hallucinations usually intensify whatever mood the user is in when the drug is taken.
Sometimes, these hallucinations can become very frightening. The user may be panic-stricken and become uncontrollably excited, or even try to flee from the terror. Users call these experiences "bad trips", and sometimes may re-experience them as flashbacks. Some users of hallucinogens have been driven into insanity by these experiences.
