- The general group of pharmacological agents commonly known as hallucinogens can be divided into three broad categories: psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants. These classes of psychoactive drugs have in common that they can cause subjective changes in perception, thought, emotion and consciousness. Unlike other psychoactive drugs, such as stimulants and opioids, the hallucinogens do not merely amplify familiar states of mind, but rather induce experiences that are qualitatively different from those of ordinary consciousness. These experiences are often compared to non-ordinary forms of consciousness such as trance, meditation, conversion experiences, and dreams.
- In "Hearts and Minds", Locke is seen mixing a substance, which he tells Boone is "for later". When Boone tells John that he wanted to tell Shannon about the Hatch, Locke struck him in the back of the head with the blunt end of his knife, and tied him up. Locke placed this paste-like substance on the exposed wound on the back of Boone's head and left him with a knife at his feet, stating that he'll be able to cut himself free once he has the proper motivation.

| - The general group of pharmacological agents commonly known as hallucinogens can be divided into three broad categories: psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants. These classes of psychoactive drugs have in common that they can cause subjective changes in perception, thought, emotion and consciousness. Unlike other psychoactive drugs, such as stimulants and opioids, the hallucinogens do not merely amplify familiar states of mind, but rather induce experiences that are qualitatively different from those of ordinary consciousness. These experiences are often compared to non-ordinary forms of consciousness such as trance, meditation, conversion experiences, and dreams. One thing that most of these drugs do not do, despite the ingrained usage of the term hallucinogen, is to cause hallucinations. Hallucinations, strictly speaking, are perceptions that have no basis in reality, but that appear entirely realistic. A typical "hallucination" induced by a psychedelic drug is more accurately described as a modification of regular perception, and the subject is usually quite aware of the illusory and personal nature of their perceptions. Some less common drugs, such as dimethyltryptamine and atropine, may cause hallucinations in the proper sense. Psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants have a long history of use within medicinal and religious traditions around the world. They are used in shamanic forms of ritual healing and divination, in initiation rites, and in the religious rituals of syncretistic movements such as União do Vegetal, Santo Daime, and the Native American Church. When used in religious practice, psychedelic drugs, as well as other substances like tobacco, are referred to as entheogens. This article is a stub.

- In "Hearts and Minds", Locke is seen mixing a substance, which he tells Boone is "for later". When Boone tells John that he wanted to tell Shannon about the Hatch, Locke struck him in the back of the head with the blunt end of his knife, and tied him up. Locke placed this paste-like substance on the exposed wound on the back of Boone's head and left him with a knife at his feet, stating that he'll be able to cut himself free once he has the proper motivation. Boone hears the voice of Shannon screaming in the distance, and then the sounds of the Monster approaching. Boone is able to reach the knife and cut himself free, and then cut Shannon free as well. Boone and Shannon hide in a gathering of trees until the Monster flees. Once out, Shannon and Boone discuss exactly what he and Locke were doing, when the Monster suddenly appears again, and grabs Shannon into the air. Boone later finds Shannon's mangled body near a stream, and returns to the camp to confront Locke, however, Locke states that there is no blood on him, and that Shannon is alive and several feet away. Locke states that what he gave Boone, was an experience that he believed was vital to his survival on this island.
