The short answer is, “we don’t really know.” Historically, cannabis counted as a hallucinogen, possibly due to the observation of its psychoactive effects. Today, however, the scientific consensus is that marijuana does not meet the criteria for a classic hallucinogen. While it can produce significant changes in perception and cognition, these effects are typically milder and less disruptive when compared to true hallucinogens like LSD or psilocybin mushrooms. So, while marijuana may not be a traditional hallucinogen, it certainly has the potential to induce powerful psychedelic experiences.
