Alterations of Metabolites in the Nervous System

Abstract

Recently,1 an attempt has been made to subdivide and classify the hallucinogens as follows:

  1. 1.

    Visionary psychodysleptics (e.g., LSD, mescaline, DMT). These produce prominently perceptual distortions and hallucinations, emotional changes, and changes in thinking.

  2. 2.

    Imagery-producing psychodysleptics (e.g., cannabis). These potentiate visual imagery and produce time, body-image, and thought distortion.

  3. 3.

    Trance-producing psychodysleptics [e.g., lysergic acid amide from Rivea corymbosa (ololiquhqui)].

  4. 4.

    Deliriants (e.g., atropine).

  5. 5.

    Neurotoxic psychodysleptics (e.g., lupenine) with an addition of motor, vegetative, and peripheral nervous system effects.
