Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described are most characteristic of marijuana use. Marijuana is known to cause time distortion, altered sensations, and impaired attention and memory. LSD can also cause altered sensations and time distortion, but typically does not affect attention and memory in the same way as marijuana. Cocaine and nicotine do not typically cause time distortion or altered sensations, and may actually improve attention in the short term.
