Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychedelic drugs can be either natural substances found in plants or synthesized in a laboratory. Examples of natural psychedelics include psilocybin mushrooms and peyote cactus, while LSD and MDMA (ecstasy) are examples of synthetic psychedelics.

Answer: D
 Psychedelic drugs are known for causing sensory and perceptual distortions, including hallucinations or seeing/hearing things that are not there. However, they can also disrupt normal thought processes and cause changes in mood, perception of time, and sense of self/identity. The reactions to psychedelic drugs can vary widely and aren't always pleasant, and they can also have unpredictable and sometimes dangerous effects.

Therefore, A and D are both true statements about psychedelic drugs, but B and C are not accurate.
