This article attempts to break down the visual effects contained within the psychedelic experience into simple, easy to understand titles, descriptions and levelling systems. This will be done without depending on metaphors, analogy's or personal trip reports. The article starts off with descriptions of the simpler effects and works its way up towards more complex experiences as it progresses, using image examples wherever possible.

==Enhancements==
==Enhancements==
An overall enhancement of vision is consistently reported at the lowest levels of [[psychedelic]] experience and extremely common on certain [[stimulants]] and [[entactogens]]. It can be generally defined as an overall increase in the level of visual input attributed to the external environment that a person experiences. It is manifested through 3 separate subcomponents.
