Hallucinogens are a diverse group of drugs that can alter a user's perception, thinking, and feelings. They can be natural or made in laboratories. They are also very addictive. This book examines the consequences of hallucinogen abuse and offers solutions for those who suffer from, or know someone who suffers from, an addiction to hallucinogens such as LSD or "magic mushrooms." Featured sidebars and narratives from real users provide the context for the harm these substances cause, as well as hope for recovery from addiction.
