Hallucinogen Reference Materials

Hallucinogens are a class of psychoactive substances known for their ability to induce alterations in perception, mood and cognition - often leading to hallucinations or profound changes in consciousness.

Common hallucinogens encountered in forensic and clinical casework include LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), psilocybin (magic mushrooms), DMT (dimethyltryptamine) and mescaline (Peyote or San Pedro Cactus).

Toxicological analysis involves the qualitative and quantitative analysis of hallucinogens and their associated metabolites in biological samples such as blood, urine or hair – helping investigators to determine exposure, potential intoxication, and the extent of their role in accidents, criminal incidents or health emergencies.
