Hallucinogens are a class of drugs that alter a person's perception, thoughts, and feelings. These drugs can cause hallucinations, which are experiences that seem real but are not. Hallucinogens have been used for religious and cultural purposes for centuries, but they can also have harmful effects on the body and mind. One potential consequence of hallucinogen use is the development of a hallucinogen-induced psychotic disorder.

A hallucinogen-induced psychotic disorder is a mental health condition that occurs when a person experiences psychotic symptoms, such as delusions and hallucinations, as a result of using a hallucinogenic drug. The symptoms of this disorder can be severe and may require medical attention. However, it is important to note that not all people who use hallucinogens will develop a psychotic disorder.
