People turn to hallucinogen drugs recreationally to provide a transcendental experience that takes them out of their reality and into another. Most hallucinogens’ experiences include a change in perspective, suddenly realizing that the world is more beautiful, that all of life is connected, and other spiritual thoughts. Hallucinogens can also take a turn for the worst in what is described as a “bad trip.” Some describe hallucinogens as opening the mind to itself. The mind is capable of tremendous positivity and love. The mind is also capable of tremendous pain, negativity, and anger. When a hallucinogen drug touches parts of the brain, hiding pain can cause trauma for the person experiencing the trip. People have entered states of psychosis and paranoia from their vicious visions while under the influence.

Clinical trials of hallucinogen drugs to treat those addicted to other substances are not new but are gaining a new wave of urgency as the world faces a global drug crisis. Hallucinogens have the potential to break the barrier of depression and help people who cannot otherwise find pleasure in their lives experience pleasure beyond their wildest dreams. However, therein lies the problem. Unless the drugs’ experiences can translate when there are no more drugs in the system, someone taking hallucinogenic drugs might be inclined to abuse the substances. In the case of FDA approved MDMA, on the other hand, the drugs will be manufactured to a pharmaceutical-grade and purity, with only appropriate doses included.
