Paper Abstract:
Examines composition of LSD, mescaline, Ecstasy; their impact on people, consequences of use. Abstract.
Paper Introduction:
LSD and Other Hallucinogens
Abstract
There are two different kinds of hallucinogens. Both LSD and MDMA (Ecstasy) are synthetic, made in laboratories, while mescaline is a non-human-made substance obtained from cactus. As peyote, it is ingested in religious ceremonies by Native Americans. Each of these substances has short-term effects, which are characterized as “high” and “psychedelic” experiences. In essence, they affect the brain and nervous system through the neurotransmitters, leading to alterations in the brains processing of information. They also activate different regions of brain, leading to visual and auditory hallucinations, and to feelings of pleasure, or paranoia, as the case may be. They can be fatal, with one use sometimes leading to drug toxicity or problems such as Mallory-Weiss syn

while forothers the reaction is paranoia and confusion depression sleeplessness paranoia muscle spasms and blurred vision et al indicated that MDMA the nucleus accumbescore and shell ad in rewarding
