Deliriants are a type of hallucinogenic, but instead of working on serotonin (psychedelics) or glutamate (dissociatives), deliriants work on Acetylcholine.

Acetylcholine is an extremely important neurotransmitter, and can modulate everything from muscle function to the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, as well as memory, attention, and arousal.

In small doses, these effects can be useful, such as Benadryl (diphenhydramine). At higher doses the effects become more dramatic and dangerous.

Because of the huge effect on arousal (as in energy use) that acetylcholine has, when you mess with it, you produce a lot of side effects, the combination of symptoms that is exhibited as “delirium” is one of them.

Deliriant drugs are a class of psychoactive substances that cause delirium, a state of confusion and disorientation. These drugs work by disrupting the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, causing a person to experience altered states of consciousness, including hallucinations, delusions, and disorientation. Examples of deliriant drugs include datura, scopolamine, and atropine.

Deliriants make you confused, hallucinate and disoriented too. They mess with your acetylcholine, so it’s like your brain is in a stew. Scopolamine, DPH, and atropine too, they can be dangerous, so don’t try them just for the goo.
