Best Answer

Most hallucinogens are controlled substances in the US because of their alleged potential for abuse. though if not taken responsibly can lead to bodily harm or death. Some have limited application in medicine and research. All Tryptamine Hallucinogens were made illegal along with LSD some time during the 60s.
