These are drugs that distort perceptions evoking vivid images without sensory input e.g. marijuana, I.S.D. (lysergic acid diethylamide), phencyclidine (P.C.P.) and psilocybin.
- They affect emotions varying from euphoria to detachment to panic
- Causes visual hallucinations
- Sense of oneness and timelessness
- Seemingly mystical insights
The hallucinations move from simple geometric forms to more meaningful images replaying past experiences to dream like scenes, feeling separated from the body.

- Impairs judgment and memory
- Causes impotent and damages lungs
b) Phencyclidine (P.C.P.)
This causes fear, depersonalization, aggression, violence
