Good question

Those are higher level triggers affecting visual cortex.

Ultimately in order to perceive reality visually, photon needs to interact with your eye machinery (again on quantum level) resulting in nerve impulses being sent to your visual cortex, which decodes and interprets visual signals.

Hallucinogens mess with the chemistry of the brain affecting how it interprets reality.

Although those are higher level triggers they do not bypass quantum part, different reality gets created due to different chemistry in the synapses of the brain.

To conclude, event when you are hallucinating you are experiencing reality but in a messed up way.
