__NOTOC__

The term '''duration''' refers to the length of time over which the [[subjective effects]] of a [[psychoactive compound]] manifest themselves. This can be further broken down into (1) total duration (2) onset (3) come up (4) peak (5) offset and (6) after effects. Depending upon the substance consumed, each of these occurs in a separate and continuous fashion.

These are ~~listed and described~~ as follows:

'''Duration''' refers to the length of time over which the [[subjective effects]] of a [[psychoactive substance]] manifest themselves.

Duration can be broken down into 6 parts: (1) total duration (2) onset (3) come up (4) peak (5) offset and (6) after effects. Depending upon the substance consumed, each of these occurs in a separate and continuous fashion.

These are catalogued as follows:

===After effects===

The after effects can be defined as any residual effects which may remain after the experience has reached its conclusion. This is colloquially known as a "hangover" or an "afterglow" ~~depending on the substance~~ and ~~usage~~. It should be noted that the after effects of the substances listed on this site are not included as part of the total duration.

The after effects can be defined as any residual effects which may remain after the experience has reached its conclusion. After effects depend on the substance and usage. This is colloquially known as a "hangover" for negative after effects of substances, such as [[alcohol]], [[cocaine]], and [[MDMA]] or an "afterglow" for describing a typically positive, pleasant effect, typically found in substances such as [[cannabis]], [[LSD]] in low to high doses, and [[ketamine]].

It should be noted that the after effects of the substances listed on this site are not included as part of the total duration.
