A variety of psychoactive drugs have notable effects on awareness. These range from a simple dulling of awareness produced by sedatives, to increases in the intensity of sensory qualities produced by stimulants:caffeine, cannabis, or most notably by the class of drugs known as psychedelics. These can produce major distortions of perception, including hallucinations. There is substantial evidence that alterations in the brain system that uses the chemical neurotransmitter serotonin play an essential role.
