How does it make you feel?
N-Bombs (members of the NBOMe family of drugs) are powerful hallucinogens, similar to LSD, which means it changes the way you see objects and reality.
You might see or hear things which aren’t there (known as hallucinations). The experience of taking hallucinogens is often referred to as a trip. Trips can be good or bad, but until you take it you don’t know how it will affect you – and once you’re on a trip you can't stop it.
Trips can feed off your imagination – so if you’re unhappy or nervous it can make these feelings a lot worse.
The main effects of taking hallucinogens, like N-Bomb, are:
- Time and movement can appear to speed up and slow down.
- Colour, sound and objects can get distorted and you can experience double vision. These distortions of your senses can be quite unpredictable, sometimes pleasant, but sometimes very frightening (these are called bad trips).
- Feelings of euphoria (intense happiness) and love/empathy.
- Mental and physical stimulation.
- A pleasant or positive change in consciousness.
- Unusual body sensations.
- Feeling tired, anxious, panicky and depressed.
- Feelings of confusion and paranoia.
- Insomnia, this is where someone finds it very hard to fall asleep or to stay asleep for a normal amount of time.
- Feeling sick and nauseous.
- Body tremors and shaking.
