A drug that inhibits acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter used in the vision, hearing, and memory. This causes vivid hallucinations completely indistinguishable from
reality, and usually extremely uncomfortable side effects like restless legs, drowsiness, sensitive eyes (expect to wear sunglasses for days after trying datura), unquenchable thirst, and
dry, sticky eyes. The most common hallucinations are small insects, but the hallucinations grow more intense as the dose increases. Users
may talk to people who aren't there, see zombies clawing at their
windows,
smoke phantom cigarettes, see blood dripping from the ceiling, etc.
People take these for
fun, but most of them never do it again. The experience is certainly not recreational, but it's like asking people, "if you could live a nightmare in real life, would you?" Some will say
yes.
Most deliriants are cheap and fully legal. They include diphenhydramine (Benadryl), dimenhydrinate (Gravol), datura (jimson
weed) and amanita muscaria (fly agaric mushroom).
