'''Deliriants''' are a subclass of [[hallucinogens]]. They display a unique property in that they easily produce solid hallucinations which integrate seamlessly into waking consciousness, similar to fully formed dreams or delusions. In contrast, classical [[psychedelics]] and [[dissociatives]] have progressive levels of multiple all-encompassing sensory effects before reaching the level of ~~cocaine~~.

In contrast, classical [[psychedelics]] and [[dissociatives]] have progressive levels of multiple all-encompassing sensory effects before reaching the level of concrete hallucination.

The term deliriant was introduced by David F. Duncan and Robert S. Gold to distinguish these substances from [[psychedelics]] and [[dissociatives]], due to their primary effect of causing delirium (as opposed to the more lucid states produced by other types of [[hallucinogens]]).<ref>{{cite book | vauthors=((Duncan, D.)), ((Gold, R.)) | date= 1982 | title=Drugs and the Whole Person | publisher=John Wiley and Sons | url=http://archive.org/details/drugswholeperson00dunc | isbn=9780471041207}}
