Project 05: Ideas - Psychedelic Drugs

After visiting the 'High Society' exhibit, which was based around psychedelic drugs. I decided to research into the main types of these drugs that have a psychedelic effect on people.

The main types I found were:

Hallucinogens

• Salvia Divinorum
• Psilocybin Mushrooms
• LSD
• Mescaline

Depressants

• Opiates
• Tranquillisers
• Alcohol
• Heroin
• Cannabis

Stimulants

• Nicotine
• Amphetamines
• Caffeine
• Cocaine

From this I researched into the effects, the appearances and the slang words for them. This then lead me to research the chemical symbols of these drugs, as it is a visual representation of them and I thought I could present these in a graphical way.

Below are the diagrams for 11 of the drugs listed above.
