-GABAergic hallucinogens are substances that increase the amount of [[GABA]] in the brain. Unlike many GABAergics, they, however, can also cause hallucinations and bizarre behavior.

+GABAergic hallucinogens are substances that produce hallucinogenic effects such as perceptual changes, visual distortions, hallucinations, and bizarre behaviors via their activity at [[GABA]] receptors, which are typically associated with central nervous system [[depressants]] such as [[alcohol]] or [[benzodiazepines]]. These hallucinations and behavioral changes are likely a result of GABA<sub>A-ρ</sub> agonism; however, the precise mechanism is poorly understood.{{citation needed}}
+The most well known of these substances are Z-drugs like [[zolpidem]] (Ambien) or [[zopiclone]]. Fly agaric mushrooms ''([[Amanita muscaria]])'' contain muscimol, which is a GABAergic hallucinogen.
+==Subjective effects==
+These are general effects commonly expirienced on GABAergic hallucinogens.
