I long have wondered about the degree to which people experience olfactory hallucinations from exogenous chemicals, drugs in particular,, and to what extent people have come across other drugs which produce hallucinations of any of the five basic senses, derivative and composite senses like proprioception, ones in which more than one sense is experiencing the anomalous data-handling, like both seeing someone who is not there and perfume can be smelt and heard at the same time . . .
I will start: Fentanyl in any form will give me a pixelated view of what I can see for up to 10 seconds after waking up especially in a dimly lit room. Then depending on what other drugs and food and other things and their effect on the Liberation, Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism & Elimination profile of the fentanyl, there is a sound track, usually starting as an increase in the degree to which sound is processed into coherent, meaningful sound by the human CNS (pareidolia), with white noise eventually turning in to cats meowing, dogs barking, raccoons tittering, birds singing, and it progresses to what Is basically the audio form of an Open Eye Visual hallucination. People mumbling then in the next step gives way to music, sounding far off and the singers are intelligible but faintly , in the case of fentanyl in is often Mahler and Schubert, dihydrocodeine and codeine often give rise to Bon Jovi, and morphine, nicomorphine, opium and diacetyldihydromorphine will bring about an ethereal Devo set. There is surprising little with hydromorphone, acetylmorphone, oxymorphone. When it is from anticholinergics, it is unidentified piano music. Ketamine brings out a unknown music which I wish very much that I could figure it all out because it tends to be 135 BPM progressive trance and similar genres and things of the same sort
My rough, preliminary hypothesis is that agonism and antagonism, and the relative extent of it, of opioid, muscarinic, nicotinic, and other receptors, as well as absolute activity of norepinephrine, serotonin, adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisol, nociceptive and so forth are the source of some percentage of the different qualities and some quantitative things like the apparent loudness in dBA may have something to do with it. Also, is it also keyed to the absolute degree of agonism or antagonism of receptors? Is it SOP for the κ opioid, NMDA, muscarinic, and perhaps the other opioids to have these effects?
