Confusion
Confusion can be described as a state of being bewildered or unclear in one’s mind about something.[1][2] Within the context of substance use, it is commonly experienced as a persistent inability to grasp or comprehend concepts and situations which would otherwise be perfectly understandable during sobriety. The intensity of this effect seems to to be further increased when a person is unfamiliar with the substance they are on.
Confusion is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as delirium, delusions, and short term memory suppression in a manner which further increases the person's lack of comprehension. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of hallucinogenic compounds, such as psychedelics,[3] dissociatives,[4] cannabinoids, and deliriants.[5] However, it can also occur to a lesser extent under the influence of heavy dosages of benzodiazepines and antipsychotics.
