Hallucinogens are a large class of psychoactive compounds known for their unique perception-altering effects. Hallucinogenic fungi, plant and animal alkaloids have been used by indigenous peoples for thousands of years, and today these alkaloids, their synthetic derivatives and other hallucinogenic substances are available on the illicit drug market. Hallucinogens can be classified into classes and sub-classes based on chemical structure and mechanism of action. These sub-classes include tryptamines, lysergamides, phenethylamines, arylcyclohexylamines, morphinans, 1, 2-diarylethylamines and others.
