hallucinogenic
Causes visual distortions
Hallucinogenic describes substances that cause hallucinations—distorted perceptions of reality, vivid visions, or sensory experiences without external stimuli.
LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, and mescaline are classic hallucinogenic drugs.
The term applies to any agent producing such effects: The shaman prepared a hallucinogenic brew.
As a noun, a hallucinogenic is such a substance.
