Psychedelic drugs alter a user’s perception of reality. Some of the examples of this category are LSD (lysergic acid diethylamine), Mescaline (peyote), and MDMA (Ecstasy) etc. These drugs cause their effects by disrupting the interaction of nerve cells and the neurotransmitter ‘Serotonin’.

The effect of these drugs may be intense but brief for some, but it can last for hours or days in some people.
