*The purpose of this blog is to create an open environment where students feel safe talking about difficult issues regarding drugs, drug abuse, sex, alcohol, or any other aspect of health or health-related decisions. Please note that we are Pharmacy students, and no one should ever alter their medications without first contacting their doctor. Our mission is to inform - we are not supporting any illegal activities, including but not limited to: marijuana use, underage drinking, use of illegal drugs, or sharing of prescription medications. That being said, we believe our purpose is to make sure all students are as informed as possible about all these topics, illegal or not, and ensure everyone has access to anonymous questions with unbiased answers*

Psychedelics

From a student:

"What does psychedelia have to do with psychedelics?"

Yourdictionary.com defines psychedelia as "psychedelic drugs or anything associated with their use" Psychedelic drugs are the same as the mind-altering drugs we talking about in the convocation. They change a users perception of reality often resulting in hallucination, delusions, or intensifying a users awareness of his or her surroundings. These drugs are dangerous because a user is unable to make decisions or function when on a "trip". We mentioned that deaths typically occur because of the user's behavior while using the drug. (Such as jumping off a building thinking he/she can fly) Psychedelics include LSD, marajuana, mushrooms, and mescaline.
