Psychedelia

Etymologically meaning "mind manifesting," psychedelic is characterized by, or generating hallucinations, distortions of perception, altered states of awareness, and occasionally states resembling psychosis.

DXM, ketamine, PCP, MDMA or Ecstacy, LSD, and Psychedelic Mushrooms are common psychedelics.

The use or abuse of psychedelic drugs became widespread in the mid-1960s. Timothy Leary was a well known proponent of their use, as was Aldous Huxley. The fashion for psychedelic drugs gave its name to the visual style of psychedelia, and to a rock music style that became known as psychedelic music. These fashions survived the fashion for psychedelic drugs, and remain influential today.
