According to
author
,
researcher
, and
professor
Dr.
Ray Nakamura
the effects of
psychoactive drugs
depends on various factors. This explains why some people have a
bad trip
and others have
good trip
s after taking the same exact
drug
s. Not only Nakamura, but many others have conducted experiments on the
effects of drug use
. By knowing these things we can try and enhance our own
experience
s and understand others.
These are Nakamura's findings about what the effects of drugs depend on:
Pharmacological Properties
: This includes the
dosage
,
strength
, and method of use(such as smoke, snort, or inject). Of course the larger the amount used the stronger the effects, and snorting is quicker than smoking.
Environment
: Does the person taking the drug feel
safe
? A good trip is more likely to occur in a familiar environment. Who are the people around? If the user is around people he/she does not know, or like, the person has a greater chance of having a bad trip. If
friend
s are around there is a better chance for a more enjoyable experience.
Physical
and
Mental
: This is one of the largest factors. What a person
think
s will happen to them is a strong influence. This explains why some people feel
drunk
after drinking what they think is
alcohol
and why some people feel
high
after
smoking
something they thought would be
marijuana
.
