Distortions may range from enhancement of the senses so that colors or sounds appear amplified or distorted, the feeling of flying and the and the absence of pain. Hallucinogenic substances may be synthetically manufactured in a laboratory like [[LSD]] or derive from natural plant (e.g [[peyote]], [[cannabis]]), fungi (e.g [[magic mushrooms]]) or animal ([[Colorado River toad]])sources.
