Emotion enhancement |
Emotion enhancement is an effect which alters mood, but unlike certain subjective effect components such as euphoria it does not consistently induce positive emotions regardless of a person's current state of mind and mental stability. Instead it works by amplifying and enhancing the emotions 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.
For example, an individual who is insecure, anxious or emotionally unstable may become overwhelmed with greatly intensified negative emotions, paranoia and confusion. This is caused by the person's current negative state becoming greatly amplified above normal levels. On the opposite end of the spectrum, positive, prepared and emotionally stable people who take the same substance at an identical dosage are likely to find themselves overwhelmed with states of emotional euphoria, happiness and feelings of general contentment.
There is a very clear distinction between substance-induced emotion and genuine emotion. This component does not induce any emotion-- it merely deepens and enhances genuine emotions that are already felt separately from the drug.
