Thought acceleration: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Thought acceleration''' can be described as thought processes being sped up significantly in comparison to that of everyday 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. Thoughts while undergoing this effect are not necessarily qualitatively different, but greater in their volume and speed.

Thought acceleration is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[stimulation]], [[~~analysis enhancement~~]], and [[~~thought connectivity~~]] 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 [[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]].
