GABAergic hallucinogens are substances that increase the amount of [[GABA]] in the brain, or agonise the [[GABA]] receptors. Unlike many GABAergics, they, however, can also cause hallucinations and bizarre behavior. These hallucinations and behavioral changes are likely a result of GABA<sub>C</sub>, or GABA<sub>A-ρ</sub> agonism. The most well known of these drugs are [[talk:z-drug]]s

like [[zolpidem]] ([[Ambien]]) and [[amanita muscaria]] ([[amanita muscaria|fly agaric]]) mushrooms.
