Is weed a hallucinogen?
Weed, also known as marijuana or cannabis, contains various psychoactive compounds, most notably THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). While primarily classified as a depressant or a mild psychedelic, these compounds can produce mild hallucinogenic effects, such as altered visual and auditory perceptions, especially at high doses. However, weed’s effects are generally less intense and less disorienting than those produced by hallucinogens like LSD or psilocybin (magic mushrooms).
