That, uh. That's worrisome. That's been basically my default state since as far back as I can remember.

Vis... visual snow looks like an acid trip? I'm suddenly, uh. Something. Somewhat surprised, maybe? I guess acid is more intense or something.

Hehe, owned. And yeah, it can be pretty intense. You get a deep feeling of foreboding right before it comes on. Then you start giggling like a loon.

Is it useful in any way? Does it grant insights, as I have seen Internet-stoners assert?

Yes and no. Its complicated. You think you're having deep insights, but most often its random bullshit that seems suddenly significant. I've had real deep insights, but I immediately forgot them and had to have my sober friends tell me what I said so I could remember it.

[Frumple]

Ah. So it's like acid without the psychological effects. Kinda' neat, I guess.

And yeah, looks like I gots a one-up on acid. One of the reasons drugs have never really interested me, heh. Why would I need help hallucinating? I've been doing it since I was like three. Twenty-four hours a day. Without any drawbacks! Except occasional distraction

[GlyphGryph]

I don't think so. I think you can just take enough to go fucking crazy though.

Odd. I distinctly remember something about some CIA tests were they were extremely disappointed they could not actually get the subject more high. Who knows, though, it's been forever since I looked at that stuff.

Shroom hallucinations are... Fucking awesome. Acid is more of a mental thing.

The MKULTRA experiments? I think they gave one subject 70-80 hits, and yeah, he didn't get any higher, but he stayed at peak high for like two days. That shit makes you fucking crazy. :/

[Frumple]

Ooh. So it's more of the effect you get when you... hrm. Well, you can sorta' rock your perception of the world back and forth a bit? That's like... the best way I can think to describe it. Make your perception start to spin, or act like a pendulum. Some kind of bastardized meditation technique.

Anyway, once you get it going the world spins with you and stuff moves oddly until you snap out of it. Can't keep it going very long but it's interesting while it is. In any case, you basically make your perception of the world flex and tremble without actually going so far as to perceive things not there.

Got nothing against altered perception states, just don't like inducing them via outside substance, heh.

..The only time I've ever hallucinated was....oh, last monthish when I was desprately afraid of my dreams, and stayed up for 72 hours at a stretch. That was....fun utterly fucking terrifying

[kaijyuu]

Technically, all dreams are hallucinations.

[Aklyon]

programming as a thing always made me kind of go "Wat."

Wat, you say?

Yeah, bastardized meditation would be a pretty good description. You still get some kinda visuals and stuff off it, like rippling surfaces and such. And there's a big part of it that's emotional; you get all happy, everything is funny, everyone is awesome, etc...
And I know what you're talking about. I can do that kinda thing, that's why I wanted to do drugs.

Hallucinating. It's my favorite.

Yeah, the visual snow thing was actually pretty terrifying for a long damn time. I couldn't sleep in the dark until my mid-teens, because there were giant multicolored amoebas floating in the room, presumably waiting to eat me. Lights back on please! With light, it's more of a multicolored buzz if you're not paying specific attention to it.

So i'm not the only one. You got any idea what causes that?

What? You were afraid of those? I always thought they looked cooler than shit! And if I look at lights without my glasses on, the light looks just like a giant colored amoeba.

... Good question...

[Wrex]

So many wolves...


That said, I can't say i've ever tripped. I am not a person who has any business tripping.

Probably some diffrence of brain chemistry or something. Don't worry about it.

I had to deal with stuff like that. Only it wasn't amoebas, it was bubbles and geometric shapes and it was awesome.

[kaijyuu]

* kaijyuu has nothing like that and feels left out.

I can sorta make weird dot patterns flash in front of my eyes if I close them in a dark room. Hardly distinguishable though.
