Hallucinogens are a broad class of drugs that induce visual and auditory hallucinations and cause profound changes in the perception of time and space, emotions, and consciousness. These drugs can be naturally occurring, such as psilocybin mushrooms, morning glory seeds, and peyote cactus (mescaline), or chemically synthesized, such as phencyclidine (commonly known as PCP or angel dust) ketamine, dizocilpine, LSD, and MDMA (commonly known as Molly or ecstasy).
Definition
Hallucinogens are drugs that cause hallucinations—profound distortions in a person's perceptions of reality, including delusions and false notions. In this state, people see images, hear sounds, and feel sensations that seem real but do not exist.
Hallucinogens produce rapid, intense mood swings with transitions so fast the user may feel several emotions simultaneously. Hallucinogens can cause physiological symptoms such as increased heart rate and blood pressure, and may induce convulsions and seizures when used at high doses. The effects of hallucinogens are more unpredictable than those of other drugs and vary greatly from person to person. The range of effects depends on a variety of factors: the amount ingested; the user's personality, mood and expectations; the setting of use; whether the user is alone or with other people; and whether the substance is ingested in conjunction with other drugs or alcohol.
Hallucinogenic drugs have played a role in human life for thousands of years. Numerous indigenous cultures around the world have used hallucinogenic plants to induce states of detachment from reality, to precipitate "visions" or mystical insight, as medicines, and as adjuncts social or religious rituals. Included in these naturally occurring substances are mescaline from the peyote cactus plant, as well as ibogaine, psilocybin or psilocin found in certain mushrooms, known as magic mushrooms. These plants contain chemical compounds that are structurally similar to serotonin, and they produce their effects by disrupting normal functioning of the serotonin system.
LSD, also called acid, is the abbreviation of lysergic acid diethylamide, a synthetic compound and the drug most commonly identified with the term hallucinogen. It is considered the typical hallucinogen, and the characteristics of its action and effects apply to other hallucinogens. Other chemically manufactured

Answer:
Amphetamine and methamphetamine are central nervous system stimulants used to treat a variety of conditions; when used recreationally, they are colloquially known as "speed."[1] Amphetamine was first synthesized in 1887 in Germany by Romanian chemist Lazăr Edeleanu, who named it phenylisopropylamine.[2][3][4] Around the same time, Japanese organic chemist Nagai Nagayoshi isolated ephedrine from the Ephedra sinica plant and later developed a method for ephedrine synthesis.[note 1][6] Methamphetamine was synthesized from ephedrine in 1893 by Nagayoshi.[7] Neither drug had a pharmacological use until 1934, when Smith, Kline and French began selling amphetamine as an inhaler under the trade name Benzedrine for congestion.[8]
