    Are magic mushrooms considered to be a stimulant or a sedative? I thought they were hallucinogens.

    EDIT:

    Stimulant: an agent (such as a drug) that produces a temporary increase of the functional activity or efficiency of an organism or any of its parts.

    Sedative: tending to calm, moderate, or tranquilize nervousness or excitement.

    Hallucinagen: a substance that induces hallucinations.

    Psylocibin: a hallucinogenic indole obtained from a fungus (such as Psilocybe mexicana or P. cubensis synonym Stropharia cubensis).
