'''Mouth numbing''' is a physical side effect of administering certain drugs [[sublingual]]ly (under the tongue) or [[buccal]]ly. ~~This~~ effect can be described as ~~an obvious~~ feeling of general numbness of the tongue and mouth which can ~~stay~~ for up to an hour after the drug has been administered.

'''Mouth numbing''' is a physical side effect of administering certain drugs [[sublingual|sublingually]] (under the tongue) or [[buccal|buccally]] (via the cheeks and gum). The effect can be described as a distinct feeling of general numbness or [[tactile suppression]] around the tongue and mouth which can last for up to an hour after the drug has been administered.

The [[NBOMe]] series ([[25C-NBOMe]], [[25B-NBOMe]], and [[25I-NBOMe]]) cause this effect consistently and it is accompanied by a strong, unpleasant, metallic chemical taste immediately after sublingual absorption. As [[LSD]] does not cause numbing or a strong chemical taste, this is the key difference when it comes to determining whether your blotter paper contains LSD or another psychoactive chemical such as one of the NBOMe series.

The [[stimulant]] [[cocaine]] also causes numbing of the tongue, gums, and mouth when administered sublingually. Many people test the purity of their cocaine by rubbing it in their mouth. This, however, is not a guarantee of the drug's quality as it is common for cocaine to be cut with various numbing agents and local anesthetics (such as ~~procaine, AKA~~ novocaine, lidocaine, or benzocaine) which mimic or add to cocaine's numbing effect.
