The term „intoxication guide“ stands for the typical effect of intoxication among psychoactive Drogen.Im In general, drugs are divided into 5 categories. These five categories are differentiated according to their substances:
- Stimulants
- Dissociative substances
- Sedative substances
- Entactogenic substances
- Hallucinogenic substances
However, it should be noted that depending on the amount of drug consumption or due to the complex psychotropic effect, the drug can also be assigned to more than just one category.
As a rough overview, the following drugs can be assigned as follows:
Stimulants
The guiding principle of stimulant substances is the increase in drive. Increased activity, restlessness with a strong urge to talk and an increased feeling of alertness are other characteristics. Calming measures such as lying down usually fail or increase the feeling of anxiety. Increased overconfidence, which often manifests itself in an arrogant attitude, are also classic characteristics of stimulant drug substances.
Dissociative substances
Dissociation is the loosening or even dissolution of the connection between different psychological functions. Characteristics of this are limited motor skills. A distorted body perception, feelings of disembodiment or feelings of alienation are other symptoms. Consumers often tell of frightening to panic-like experiences.
Sedative substances
One of the most common signs is reduced drive and fatigue. In addition to coordination disorders, poor concentration and limited memory skills are also recognizable. Other characteristics are unclean or slurred pronunciation, weak muscle movements.
Entactogenic substances
Typical characteristics of entactogenic substances are an increased feeling of happiness, a clearly noticeable empathy for one’s own feelings but also the feelings of others. However, irritable or anxious reactions are also part of it. Even with entactogenic substances, the pupils are usually significantly dilated.
Hallucinogenic substances
- CATHEDRAL
- LSD
- Mescaline
- Psilocybin
- DMT
- Fungi
- Angel’s trumpet
Typical key symptoms are curious shapes, colors and sensory impressions that are mixed with dreamlike states. Agitated as well as calm states are possible. Formal thinking is limited and comprehensible communication is difficult. Consumers often tell of mystical and color-filled experiences, which come to light in active, very expressive body language. Typical hallucinogenic drugs are dilated pupils.
