'''Emotion enhancement''' can be described as an effect which greatly amplifies and enhances one's current emotional state beyond normal levels.

Unlike many other subjective effects such as [[Cognitive euphoria|euphoria]] or [[anxiety]] this effect does not ~~consistently~~ induce specific emotions regardless of a person's current state of mind and mental stability. Instead, it works by amplifying and enhancing the genuine emotions that a person is already feeling prior to ingesting the drug. This causes ~~the effects~~ to be equally capable of manifesting in both a positive and negative direction.

Unlike many other subjective effects such as [[Cognitive euphoria|euphoria]] or [[anxiety]] this effect does not actively induce specific emotions regardless of a person's current state of mind and mental stability. Instead, it works by passively amplifying and enhancing the genuine emotions that a person is already feeling prior to ingesting the drug or prior to the onset of this effect. This causes emotion enhancement to be equally capable of manifesting in both a positive and negative direction.

For example, an individual who is currently feeling somewhat anxious or emotionally unstable may become overwhelmed with intensified negative emotions, paranoia, and confusion. In contrast, an individual who is generally feeling positive and emotionally stable is more likely to find themselves overwhelmed with states of emotional euphoria, happiness, and feelings of general contentment.

For example, an individual who is currently feeling somewhat anxious or emotionally unstable may become overwhelmed with intensified negative emotions, paranoia, and confusion. In contrast, an individual who is generally feeling positive and emotionally stable is more likely to find themselves overwhelmed with states of emotional euphoria, happiness, and feelings of general contentment. The intensity of emotional states felt under emotion enhancement can shape the tone of a trip and predispose the user to other effects, such as [[mania]] or [[unity and interconnectedness|unity]] in positive states and [[thought loops]] or [[feelings of impending doom]] in negative states.

Emotion enhancement is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[psilocybin]], and [[mescaline]]. However, it can also occur under the influence of [[cannabinoid|cannabinoids]], [[GABAergic]] [[depressant|depressants]], [[dissociative|dissociatives]], and [[stimulant|stimulants]].</onlyinclude>
