<onlyinclude>'''Suggestibility enhancement''' can be described as an increased tendency to accept and act on the suggestions of others. A common example of suggestibility enhancement would be a [[trip sitter]] deliberately making a person believe a false statement without question simply by telling it to them as true, even if the statement would usually be easily recognizable as impossible or absurd. If this is successfully accomplished, it can potentially result in the experience of relevant accompanying [[external hallucinations|hallucinations]] and [[delusions]] which further solidify the belief which has been suggested to them. | <onlyinclude>'''Suggestibility enhancement''' can be described as an increased tendency to accept and act on the suggestions of others.

This effect commonly occurs | This effect commonly occurs at [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] under the influence of almost any [[hallucinogen]], particularly for users who are inexperienced or currently undergoing [[delusion|delusions]] and [[memory suppression]]. It has been studied extensively by the scientific literature and has a relatively large body of data confirming its presence across multiple hallucinogens.

However, anecdotal reports suggest that it may also occur to a lesser extent under the influence of [[GABAergic]] substances such as [[alcohol]] and [[benzodiazepine|benzodiazepines]].</onlyinclude> | ||
