Drugs of Abuse Testing
Ordering the Right Test at the Right Time,
and What Does it Mean?
Detection Times: Hallucinogens

September 2009
Now if you look at the hallucinogen drugs, LSD for example, can be detected for 8 hours; again a very short half-life. Mescaline, PCP, and Psilocybin (or magic mushrooms) can be detected for varying periods of time as well. Now you’ll also notice that I have the amphetamine variants here, listing again MDA and MDMA. The reason it’s been listed twice is not because the half-life or the detection window is different, but because those drugs also have hallucinogenic properties.
