Recent research has established the general or common sensations which make up a marijuana-type drug experience: 1. There is a distortion and heightening of one’s sensual perception of the world. A person’s abilities too see, hear, taste, touch, and smell are generally confused and distorted. Thus many users find exceptional pleasure in eating spicy food, hearing music, or having sex. 2. A temporal disintegration is experienced by the user. Time can seem to slow down, speed up, or even stop.
