"Mind-altering" refers to substances or experiences that can change a person's mental state, perception, or consciousness. This can include drugs like LSD, psilocybin, or marijuana, which may lead to altered sensory experiences, changes in thought patterns, or shifts in mood. These substances can affect how individuals perceive reality and can lead to both positive and negative experiences. In addition to drugs, mind-altering experiences can also come from practices like meditation or hypnosis. These methods can help individuals achieve altered states of consciousness, promoting relaxation or self-discovery. While some seek these experiences for personal growth, others may use them for recreational purposes.
