The Wikipedia article[0] contains this quote:
> the term psychedelic is sometimes used more broadly to include various types of hallucinogens or those which are atypical or adjacent to psychedelia such as MDMA or cannabis; this article uses the narrower definition of psychedelics.
as well as other information on the method of action that leads to a drug being classified as a psychedelic.
I wasn't previously aware of people referring to MDMA or ketamine as "psychedelics" but I guess it might be more common than I thought. Who knew.
