Psychedelic experiences refer to altered states of consciousness often induced by substances like LSD, psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms), or DMT. These experiences can lead to vivid visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in perception of time and space, and deep emotional insights. Users may feel a sense of interconnectedness with the universe or a heightened awareness of their thoughts and feelings. The effects of psychedelics can vary widely among individuals and depend on factors such as dosage, setting, and personal mindset. While some people report positive experiences, including increased creativity and spiritual insights, others may encounter challenging or distressing feelings, often referred to as a "bad trip."
