Where Do Hallucinogens Come From?

Some hallucinogens can be found in plants. Mescaline comes from a cactus called peyote. And certain mushrooms, also known as “magic” mushrooms, are hallucinogens.

But many hallucinogens are chemicals that don’t occur in nature. Some examples are:

• LSD, also called acid
• MDA, also called the “love drug,” related to the stimulant amphetamine
• MDMA, known as ecstasy, also related to amphetamine
• PCP, often called angel dust
