Psychedelic experience

A psychedelic experience, also known colloquially as a "trip", is a temporary altered state of consciousness induced by the consumption of a psychedelic substance. Classic psychedelics include semisynthetic ergolines such as LSD, psilocybin contained in several mushroom species, DMT contained in the ayahuasca brew, or mescaline contained in several cacti.
