I just went through and performed a full rewrite/reorganization of the article to make it more readable as well as more informative. I need to rest for tonight (spent almost 4 hours researching and rewriting the article), and I will be adding references by Monday morning. Thank you for starting the article. I strive to make this Wiki a better, easier to read, more well organized, and more informative place* :-).

At the top of the article it defines a euphoriant as "a type of psychoactive drug which induces feelings of physical and/or mental euphoria, the effects of which may include relaxation, anxiolysis, stress relief, mood lift, pleasure, and a rush." this seems to contradict the very word which appears to mean a substances that simply induces euphoria.

I have serious doubts about this. The overwhelming majority of reports on Erowid describe a very negative, dysphoric, and often terrifying experience associated with deliriant use, including datura and diphenhydramine. I suggest that, with out a realiable citation, this section be removed entirely. Attys ( talk) 23:49, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
It is noted that deliriants are by their very nature dysphoric and dangerous, and the citation I added, specifically about datura, supports this. By its very nature it is required, as hallucinogens are divided in to three subsections or types in scholarly study: dissociatives, deliriants, and psychedelics. To have one or two without the other one or two is incomplete. Do you believe the dangers of deliriants, and the dysphoric nature of them, should be worded more strongly, or in less erudite terms? 75.179.176.190 ( talk) 18:08, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
There is a clear mistake regarding the availabilty of Methadone-based preperations. In the section about the mixed agents, the opioid drug Methadone is listet as a mu-agonist and NDMA-antagonist, mentioning that one of the actions is developed by the L-isomer and the other action by the R-isomer, and that however only racematic preperations of Methadone are commercially available - and this is definitely wrong! Isolated Levomethadone (the levorotary form, that inherits the opioid-agonistic properties) is commercially available and well known, one commonly in substitution used and widely spread commercial preperation is "L-Polamidon" (with the "L-" indicating that this product solely contains the l-isomer Levomethadone, regarding to the formerly available preperation "Polamidon" containing the racematic form). In many countries L-Polamidon is yet the only commercially available Methadone-based preperation, while the racematic form is exclusively manufactured in pharmacies on demand / request by a doctor and no longer sold as an already manifactured preperation.

The euphoric effects of cannabinoids are not due to their extremely mild psychedelic effects, but through an entirely different mechanism. In fact the psychedelic property is most commonly described as dysphoric due to the accompanying anxiety and paranoia that such a high dose would elicit. Their effects are more similar to dissociatives than psychedelics, but could also fit under CNS depressants. I think they belong in their own category like Opioids. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.177.195 ( talk) 04:39, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
