Psychotropics

Written by MikkW, et al. last updated 4th Jun 2021

Psychotropic substances are substances that noticeably affect how people think. This tag is intended primarily for substances that cause short-term experiences that (used responsibly) can have long-term positive or net-neutral effects on one's intellectual, emotional, and "spiritual" growth. This includes psychedelics such as Psilocybin and LSD as central examples, as well as MDMA and Cannabis as less-central examples

Contrast with the tags and , which also pertain to substances which affect people's cognition
