'''Psychedelics''' are a class of psychoactive compounds whose primary effects are rooted in altering perception, causing a number of mental effects which manifest in many forms including altered states of consciousness, visual or tactile effects.

	A difference between the common semantic and scientific uses of 'psychedelic' often occurs. Most psychedelic drugs are either [[Tryptamines]], [[Phenethylamines]] or [[Lysergamides]], and these structural definitions often denote what constitutes a psychedelic proper. However, psychedelics are also part of a wider definition of 'hallucinogens,' which includes certain [[dissociatives]] and [[deliriants]] - these sharing in many of the typically 'psychedelic' effects of the classical psychedelic chemicals. While a drug may not be strictly classified as a psychedelic, it may share in the semantic definition of a substance which causes the user to experience extra-ordinary forms of consciousness through alterations in cognition and perception, forming 'the psychedelic experience.'

	The effects caused by psychedelics vary a lot depending on the particular substance, the dose and the set and setting of the trip. For example, stimulating effects are often noted here (such as tension, slight increase in heart-rate) since many psychedelics are also somewhat stimulating, though these occur to different degrees depending on the particular chemical. See individual substance pages for more tailored effects.		The effects caused by psychedelics vary a lot depending on the particular substance, the dose and the set and setting of the trip.

	Despite many common and prevalent [[Common_Misconceptions_About_Psychedelics\|misconceptions around psychedelic use]], many psychedelics (including [[LSD]] and [[2C-B]]) remain among the safest drugs in common recreational use, often with a very low potential for [[addiction]]. Some psychedelics, such as [[LSD]], are almost impossible to physically overdose on, though others such as [[NBOMes]] have very low thresholds for overdose. However, regardless of the physical safety profile of the drug, it is always important to make sure the dose is within reasonable realms, since physical side-effects will increase with dosage, along with a greater risk of a bad trip or negative mental side-effects both during and following the trip.

	The figure differs (such as with [[DMT]] and [[NBOMes]]), but many psychedelics have a physical tolerance lasting between 1-2 weeks. However, many users report a mental tolerance which may last longer than the physical tolerance, and increases in duration depending on frequency of use. Psychedelics are often considered to be heavy mental experiences, therefore it is always recommended to leave a reasonable amount of time (often a month or more) between trips, to avoid any adverse psychological effects of chronic use.
