Hallucinogenic drugs, such as LSD or psilocybin, can cause perceptual, sensory, and cognitive experiences that are not based in reality. However, users typically maintain awareness that these experiences are not real, thus it is likely that Jack is taking a hallucinogenic drug. Anti-psychotic drugs are used to treat psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations, stimulants such as amphetamines increase alertness and concentration, but they do not typically cause perceptual or sensory experiences that are out of the ordinary.
