The physical, visual and mental components of a Delirious trip

Deliriants are the third and final subset of hallucinogens for me to categorize and are even further removed from the classic psychedelic trip than a dissociative experience.
Deliriants are generally considered by everybody who has tried them to be a horrible experience that should not be recommended to anybody. There is zero enlightenment or insight to be gained from a deliriant, just a wide spectrum of neutral to horrifying hallucinations and a body high that consists of intense dysphoria.
These drugs work by their ability to block the chemical Acetylcholine which has been known to prevent people from dreaming as they wake up. It’s this effect that produces incredibly realistic hallucinations that are completely indistinguishable from reality which are generally negative and where all of the visual and mental effects stem from.
I am talking about the effects of DPH, Datura and DMH here and the people who enjoy these drugs are not nonexistent but there are very few of them, this is an extremely unpleasant experience and should be viewed merely as a thing of interest, not a viable alternative to the psychedelic experience which many uneducated people make the mistake of assuming.

Dysphoria:

One of the first things a person generally notices whilst gradually coming up on a deliriants is how absolutely terrible and miserable they feel.
There is not a single deliriant that does not have multiple negative side effects that will leave you feeling sometimes unbearably terrible, they do however seem to die down at very high doses but only because you are so delirious and distracted by the intensely realistic hallucinations that you forget about how shitty you are feeling. These feelings are commonly experienced as:

  • Sensitivity to sunlight.
  • Loss of coordination.
  • Dry mouth (sometimes to the point where it becomes impossible to swallow).
  • Abnormal heart beat.
  • Temporary Erectile Dysfunction (your penis will be smaller than you’ve ever seen it).
  • Dizziness.
  • Drowsiness.
  • Muscle cramps.
  • Nausea, violent vomiting (at higher doses).
  • Having to urinate every 15 minutes.
  • Feeling like there is cement in your urethra when you do try to urinate.
  • Loss of fine motor skills.

It’s these sensations that render deliriants completely useless as a recreational drug and it’s all these dysphoric bad vibes that help contribute to making sure your hallucinations are very unpleasant.

Delirium:

Delirium is the mental state that this class of hallucinogens puts you in and it not exactly a pleasant state of being either. A high dose delirious trip is usually accompanied by:

  • Mild to Extreme panic.
  • Depression.
  • Partial to complete loss of ability to speak.
  • Extreme confusion and disorientation.
  • Agitation and Nervousness.
  • Complete or partial loss of ability to reason.
  • Memory loss
  • Feelings of impending doom.
  • Feelings of regular doom.

Although all of these effects are quite pronounced and have a large influence on the trip itself, from personal experience it’s the loss of ability to reason that is one of the most important aspects of delirium and as it forces you to accept without question any hallucination that the trip can throw at you in exactly the same way that we often accept the bizarre and nonsensical plot lines to our dreams until the moment after it’s over.

Hallucinations:

The hallucinations experienced during a delirious trip are by far its most fascinating and overpowering quality. These hallucinations are completely different from any visionary experience or entity contact you can experience on a psychedelic or dissociative.
There is not any extremely complex non Euclidean geometry, fractals, interdimensional travel and entity contact to be found here and although the hallucinations can be anything there are still many hallucinations that are commonly experienced by most people that try these substances, these hallucinations are generally but by any means not limited to:

  • Spiders everywhere, often pouring out of everything.
  • Insects, often fantastical and crawling over everything in the room.
  • Shadow people.
  • Voices and imagined sounds.
  • Pet Dogs and Cats that you do not own.
  • Your Mother, often upset with you for taking drugs.
  • Human beings that are usually behaving completely normally.
  • Drinking imaginary cups of water and smoking phantom cigarettes.
  • Ripples and strange moving textures in certain objects.
  • Smoke and distortion in the air.
  • Floating inanimate objects like mobile phones that appear out of nowhere, only to disappear after your hand goes directly through the object while trying to grab hold of it.
  • Every day conversations with friends, family members and fictional people that aren’t really there.
  • Literally anything your imagination can come up with.

Dreamlike states:

During a delirious trip it is not uncommon to experience sudden flashes of short realistic dream like states. These short breakthroughs into delirium happen frequently and are usually mundane and everyday events such as getting dressed to go to work only to suddenly realize half way through that none of it ever happened and you’re actually lying down in bed. During high dose trips these dreamlike states become hallucinations within hallucinations as people commonly find themselves snapping out of them and thinking “well it’s a good job I’m out of that now!” only to find a couple of minutes later they never even made it back into reality and simply transitioned into a different scenario, this can continue for hours during very high dose trips and contributes enormously to making it even more difficult to determine what is real and what isn’t during a trip like this.

There really isn’t much to be said about this sort of trip, it’s sad that there is no such thing as an enjoyable deliriant since they are just as limitless as any psychedelic at high doses but in an inherently unpleasant way. I tried them just so I could give an accurate description but to be honest it was exactly what I was expecting and I could have written this guide without a single truly delirious trip to my name as indirect experiences on MDMA, Mirtazapine and random states of hypnogogia had already taught me much about how hallucinations and dream like states work without the memory loss.

Nobody is going to stop you from trying this but if you’re completely set on it at least wait until you have had a large amount of experience being out of your mind on psychedelic and dissociative substances first.
