What are plant medicines and other Psychedelics?
Plant medicines and Psychedelics, also known as psychedelics, are a class of psychoactive substances that can cause profound changes in perception, mood and cognitive processes. The natural substances, derived from the earth, used for healing and spiritual growth. They have a long history within various cultures worldwide for promoting physical, mental and emotional health. These substances can occur either naturally, such as psilocybin (present in certain types of mushrooms), DMT (found in ayahuasca), mescaline (present in peyote and San Pedro cacti), or be produced synthetically, such as LSD and MDMA (although MDMA is often classified as an entactogen, it also has psychedelic effects).
Users of psychedelics often report experiences of deep introspection, a sense of oneness with the universe, visual and auditory hallucinations, and an altered sense of time. The effects of these medicines are highly variable and can depend on the dose, the environment in which they are used, and the user's psychological state.

Recent scientific studies are exploring the potential of psychedelics for the treatment of various mental disorders, including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and addiction problems. Despite their therapeutic potential, many psychedelic medicines are tightly regulated in many countries due to concerns about their safety and potential for abuse.
