How common are they? I'm pretty sure i had one on saturday night, i was only drinking and smoking and suddenly im tripping the fuck out to some movie, thought i was dead for a couple of hours and my friends turned into satan's messengers who were leading me through all the fucked up things i've done and all the fucked up things i'd do if they let me live - that's where the movie came in. I wouldn't believe when they told me i was tripping untill they convinced me if i walked out the front door i wouldn't end up in hell. The fresh air did a world of good. I've shroomed maybe five times. First trip was the most powerful, im sure that's the one i flashed back too.
while flashbacks aren't that common, if you've ever been a heavy tripper at any point in your, which it sounds like you haven't, then they probably will happen however, i've never heard of any flashbacks that lasted 2 hours myself, usually mine don't last any longer than 15 minutes or so and that's just the general effects, there is usually a very intense flashback to peaking but that goes away very quickly for me
I had my first flashback when I looked at a fork the wrong way (seriously). Something about it triggered a hazy image from a trip and it caught me off guard...but it wasn't like I broke down or flipped out in public or anything. I think the severity of flashbacks is exaggerated.
it probably wasn't two hours. now i think about it, it was probably more like 30 minutes. felt like way longer though.
i never got flashbacks... but after heavy shrooming i did get 3-4 months of depression and psychosis, which felt like a shroom trip
i get flashbacks quite frequently. i smoke weed everyday and drink quite frequently too. i take E on the weekends and do acid and shrooms when i get the chance, but no more than about 20 times a year. my flashbacks aren't scary (sometimes i contemplate life though, which can be similar to a bad trip) and usually i get ripple-marks in my vision like you get when shrooms kick in. If i get a flashback while listening to music, I can usually see things when i close my eyes and get a slight body tingling sensation. they are quite mild now as i haven't took any trippy shit since acid last september, but they used to be really strong - especially when i drank beer - and caused a short period of vertigo as well. that's still blagged my head.
what? it's an expression for christ's sake! In language you understand - it has confused me immensely.
Rory? Yeah I know Rory. He's not to be underestimated, you've got to look past the hair and the cute, cuddly thing - it's all a deceptive facade. A few nights ago Rory's Roger iron's rusted, so he's gone to the local battle-cruiser to catch the end of his footie. Nobody is watching the custard so he turns the channel over. A fat man's north opens and he wanders over and turns the Liza over. 'Now fuck off and watch it somewhere else.' Rory knows claret is imminent, but he doesn't want to miss the end of the game; so, calm as a coma, he stands and picks up a fire extinguisher and he walks straight past the jam rolls who are ready for action, then he plonks it outside the entrance. He then orders an Aristotle of the most ping pong tiddly in the nuclear sub and switches back to his footer. 'That's fucking it,' says the guy. 'That's fucking what' says Rory. Rory gobs out a mouthful of booze covering fatty; he then flicks a flaming match into his bird's nest and the man's lit up like a leaky gas pipe. Rory, unfazed, turned back to his game. His team's won too. Four-nil. I <3 snatch and lock stock.
