'''Thought acceleration''' ~~can be described~~ as the ~~mental process~~ of thought being sped up significantly in comparison to that of ~~normal~~ sobriety. When experiencing this effect, it will often feel as if one rapid fire thought after the other is being generated in incredibly quick succession.

Thought acceleration ~~will~~ often ~~synergize with~~ other coinciding effects such as [[~~analysis enhancement~~]] and [[~~stimulation~~]] in a manner which not only increases the speed of thought, but also ~~signifigantly~~ enhances the sharpness of a person's mental clarity. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[stimulant]] or [[nootropic]] compounds such as [[amphetamine]], [[~~caffeine~~]], and [[~~modafinil~~]]. However, it ~~may~~ also occur under the influence of ~~many~~ stimulating [[psychedelic|psychedelics]] such as ~~certain~~ [[LSD]], [[2C-B]] ~~and~~ [[~~mescaline~~]].

Thought acceleration is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[stimulation]], [[anxiety]], and [[analysis enhancement]] in a manner which not only increases the speed of thought, but also significantly enhances the sharpness of a person's mental clarity. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[stimulant]] and [[nootropic]] compounds, such as [[amphetamine]], [[methylphenidate]], [[modafinil]], and [[MDMA]]. However, it can also occur under the influence of certain stimulating [[psychedelic|psychedelics]] such as [[LSD]], [[2C-E]], [[DOC]], [[AMT]].
