LSD:

| an lsd tab |
LSD, or "acid", was
created by accident in a pharmaceutical lab by chemist Albert Hofmann. It is usually taken as a tab, which is a
piece of paper with a dose of LSD blotted on to it. The common street dosage for a tab was
originally 250 mcg when it first hit the streets in the 1960's. Now a more common dose is 100 to 150 mcg.
Acid trips last around 9 hours, and tolerance to acid builds and diminishes quickly, making it hard to abuse.
Psilocybin
Mushrooms:

Shrooms, or psilocybin
mushrooms, are mushrooms that grow on all continents except Antarctica. They are eaten fresh or dried,
and a trip lasts around 4 hours.
Although they are a Schedule 1 controlled substance, they are legal to grow
in New Mexico for personal use.
DMT:
 |
| DMT as crystals |
DMT, short for Dimethyltryptamine,
is famous for being the most intense psychedelic. Found naturally in the
ayahuasca plant, the pure chemical DMT can be smoked, injected, or inhaled, and
gives an almost instant trip that lasts 30 minutes to an hour, most of which is
spent in a dream-like state.
Mescaline/Peyote:

The peyote cactus has been eaten
by native American tribes for centuries.
Mescaline, the active chemical in peyote, can also be taken as a
pill. The average dose of mescaline is
300 mg, and when used in religious ceremonies American tribe members eat 2-24
cactus buttons. A trip usually lasts between 10 and 12 hours.
