Psychedelic意思

"Psychedelic" 是一個英文辭彙，源自希臘語的「psyche」（心靈）和「delos」（顯露）。它最初被用來描述 certain drugs that can cause altered consciousness, perception, mood, and thought. 這些藥物包括迷幻劑（如LSD）、致幻蘑菇（含有裸蓋菇素）和某些致幻植物的提取物。

Psychedelics are known for their ability to produce significant changes in thought, perception, and emotion, often leading to profound spiritual or philosophical insights. They were famously used in the 1960s counterculture movement and have been the subject of much research into their therapeutic potential for treating conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

However, the term "psychedelic" has also been used more broadly to describe art, music, and literature that is influenced by or intended to evoke the experience of altered consciousness.
