Wikipedia

  1. Hallucinogen

    Hallucinogens are a large and diverse class of psychoactive drugs that can produce altered states of consciousness characterized by major alterations in thought, mood, and perception as well as other changes. Most hallucinogens can be categorized as either being psychedelics, dissociatives, or deliriants. However, others such as Fly agaric as well as other GABAergic hallucinogenics are more often considered to technically be hypnotics, therefore indicating another separate subcategory of drugs which can substantially alter visual perception.

  1. hallucinogen

    A hallucinogen is a substance that induces alterations in perception, mood, thought, consciousness, and/or behavior. Typically, these alterations manifest as hallucinations, sensations, or experiences that seem real but are not. This category of drugs includes substances like LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, and mescaline. The effects of hallucinogens can vary greatly and can sometimes lead to psychological distress or harm. Their use can also potentially lead to physical harm if the altered perception results in dangerous behavior.

  1. Hallucinogen

    Simon Posford, better known by his stage name Hallucinogen is an English electronic musician, specializing in psychedelic trance music. His first studio album, Twisted, released in 1995, is considered one of the most influential albums in the genre; the first track "LSD" in particular remains the defining sound of Goa trance to this day. He has toured India several times. His second album, The Lone Deranger, was released in 1997. A third album, In Dub, was released in 2002. He is also the founder of the label Twisted Records and works in the electronic duos Younger Brother and Shpongle. Younger Brother initially began as a side project of Posford and Benji Vaughan and represented a transition away from previous projects which emphasized a more synthesized style. Though his music has been described as "heavily driven by psychedelica", he always performs while sober due to the complexity of operating computers during his events.
