An hallucinogen is a substance that acts on the central nervous system to produce changes in perception and mood and often hallucinations. Hallucinogens include LSD, peyote, and mescaline. Their effects are unpredictable and they are illegal in most countries. In some circumstances hallucinogens may produce panic or even suicidal feelings, which can recur without warning several days or months after taking the drug. In rare cases they produce an irreversible psychotic state mimicking schizophrenia. Spiritual or religious experiences are common, hence the ritual use of
hallucinogens in some cultures. They work by chemical interference with the normal action of neurotransmitters in the brain.

The solidus was a gold coin struck by Constantine in place of the aureus, and known later as the bezant or byzant. Adopted by the Franks it was in use until the time of Pepin. The silver solidus was reckoned to equal twelve denarii, or silver pennies, and was thus equal to a shilling. The abbreviation S for solidus was adopted in the initials LSD (pounds, shilling and pence) in British pre-decimal coinage.
