Psychedelic experiences, often referred to as 'trips', are a type of altered state of consciousness that can be induced by the use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline. These experiences can be characterized by intense visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in perception of time and space, and feelings of euphoria or spiritual enlightenment. Psychedelic experiences have been used for centuries in religious and spiritual rituals, and more recently have been studied for their potential therapeutic benefits.
