Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distortions in sensory and perceptual processes, paranoia, and "jumbled" thought processes are all common effects of hallucinogens such as LSD or psilocybin mushrooms. Sedatives and narcotics generally produce a calming effect and do not typically lead to distorted perception or paranoia. Stimulants can cause jumbled thinking, but do not typically cause distortions in sensory or perceptual processes.
