Suggestibility enhancement can be described as an increased tendency to accept and act on the suggestions of others. A common example of suggestibility enhancement would be a trip sitter deliberately making a person believe a false statement without question simply by telling it to them as true, even if the statement would usually be easily recognizable as impossible or absurd. If this is successfully accomplished, it can potentially result in the experience of relevant accompanying hallucinations and delusions which further solidify the belief which has been suggested to them.

This effect commonly occurs to at heavy dosages under the influence of almost any hallucinogen, particularly for users who are inexperienced or currently undergoing deusions and memory suppression. It has been studied extensively by the scientific literature and has a relatively large body of data confirming its presence across multiple hallucinogens. These include, LSD[1][2], mescaline[3], cannabis[4], ketamine[5], and nitrous oxide[6]. However, annecdotal reports suggest that it may also occur to a lesser extent under the influence of GABAergic substances such as alcohol and benzodiazepines.
