So I did mushrooms twice, and have smoked a fair amount of ganja. The weird thing is I'm not currently using, misusing, or abusing any substance, but when I close my eyes I get mild visual flashbacks to one of my mushroom trips. I'm just curious as to whether or not anyone else has this same experience? Also sometimes reality distorts and repeated patterns twist together. I like it, but it's kind of strange.
What you suffer is known as HPPD (Hallucinogenic Perception Persisting Disorder), an off-shoot of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). It's nothing serious...usually if you ignore it the visuals go away.
Yea, when I go into a dark room from a lighted room usually I get some mad visuals, it's kind of cool... free mini trips.
Wow, I´ve been working in psychiatry and drug research for years, but I´ve never heard of that (at least not under that name). Do you know, if there´s been scientific publications about that phenomenon? If possible, with links please.
I learned about HPPD in psych 101. It's not too clear how exactly it works and whatnot though. I thought it was hallucinogen post-perceptual disorder, but I can't remember exactly.
maybe you're just picking up different frequencies man. either learn to control it and toy with it (while attempting to stay somewhat sane) or ignore it, as previously suggested. either would be better than obssessing too much over whether it is a "disorder".
yeah that happens to me too i cant smoke pot anymore cos it gets way too intense. i havent done mushies or anything but acid a few times and yeah my mind will never be the same but in a good way
