The Recreational Drug Thread

I definitely get the spacial distortion, though. But yeah, no spiders here, either. Sounds like you handled it nicely either way. I've seen people freak out over less, it sounds like you were just entertained by it.

Yeah, I don't know, it was like black and white, kind of like ink blot type of thing. I figured they were spiders, but then again I kept seeing fruity colored pandas and Jesus's face. I was very entertained. I was told they were shrooms, like I said it was my first time so I was like what the hell and ate em'.

Heh... yea that sounds a little... unbelievable.
At least, that doesn't sound like psilocybin visuals at all, which are pretty standard being that they're based on a function of the biological effects of the drug.

yea. i have never seen anything distinct either. just tracers pretty much.

Why do all these psychadelic trips sound like utter ****? I've never seen the face of God or any of this loony ****, or sparklers appearing out of the asses of Presidents.

[debaserr]

most of them sound pretty legit, actually.

Well, we might have a different imagination, or a different view of things. If I was making this up I would have thrown in some pink elephants or the grim reaper standing next to me. It obviously wasn't clear, it was just my mind tripping out seeing some weird ****.

I usually hear stories like that from people who've never done it and don't realize how far overboard they're going with their 'experience'. While I'm not making any accusations, I do have a pretty good fact-table based on a lot of experience and research, so I'm inclined to be a little skeptical in certain cases.
The only thing I can't disregard is the possibility of people with mental illnesses where outrageous hallucinations may have nothing to do with the drugs at all except maybe being exacerbated by them.

Well I had em', I have no proof, and you don't have to believe me.

I'm more interested in figuring your situation out than trying to disprove it.
Would you say the hallucinations were solid and visually realistic and part of your surroundings... or more of a mentally constructed image that took place mostly in the mind?
