Thought acceleration can be described as the mental process of thought being sped up significantly in comparison to that of normal sobriety. When experiencing this effect, it will often feel as if one rapid fire thought after the other is being generated in incredibly quick succession.

Thought acceleration is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as stimulation, analysis enhancement, and thought connectivity in a manner which not only increases the speed of thought, but also signifigantly enhances the sharpness of a person's mental clarity. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of stimulant and nootropic compounds, such as amphetamine, methylphenidate, modafinil, and MDMA. However, it can also occur under the influence of certain stimulating psychedelics such as certain LSD, AMT, DOC and mescaline.
