drug trip
Chemically induced vision
A drug trip is the experience of altered consciousness produced by a psychoactive substance, especially hallucinogens like LSD or psilocybin mushrooms.
The term captures the sense of going somewhere mentally—a journey through changed perceptions, emotions, and thoughts.
Trips can be pleasant or terrifying; a bad trip involves fear, paranoia, or disturbing hallucinations.
She had a profound trip on mushrooms.
The verb is to trip: We tripped all night.
