'''Anxiety''' can be described as negative feelings of psychological apprehension, worry, and general unease.

Psychoactive substance usage induced anxiety can be caused as an inescapable effect of the drug itself, by a lack of experience with the substance or intensity, as an enhancement of a pre-existing state of mind, or by the experience of negative hallucinations.

Anxiety is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[depression]] and [[irritability]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[hallucinogenic]] compounds, such as [[cannabinoids]], [[psychedelics]], [[dissociatives]], and [[deliriants]]. However, it can also occur during the withdrawal symptoms of [[GABAergic]] [[depressants]] and during [[stimulant]] comedowns.
