'''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 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 ~~novacaine~~, lidocaine, or benzocaine) which mimic or add to cocaine's numbing effect.
