Psychedelic drugs are psychoactive drugs whose primary action is to alter the thought processes of the brain. The term is derived from Greek ψυχή (psyche, "mind") and δηλείν (delein, "to manifest"), translating to "mind manifesting." "The implication is that the psychedelic drugs can develop unused potentials of the human mind."
