Abstract

This chapter focuses on hallucinogens with psychoactive properties mediated through the serotonin system. Although commonly referred to as 'hallucinogens', a lexigraphic disclaimer is warranted as the psychological experience elicited by these drugs centers on distortion of perception, not true hallucinations. The historical term 'psychotomimetic' is also inaccurate as the state they produce has proven to be a poor model for schizophrenia. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
