I get intense closed eye visual patterns when i close my eyes on any psychedelic, just not open eyed hallucinations. Except for DMT, Salvia, and Ayahuasca if that answers your questions better...
I think your acid is just weak honestly. Never mind your friends, they could be doing it for attention or something, you don't know. I took 3 hits of good shit a few weeks ago and basically lived inside an explosion of raw Beauty in bullet time for an eternity of an evening, just absolute decadent visual effects, synesthesia . . . gorgeous, my senses got shaken and stirred
I would agree with you, but i was watching my friend the day before last and he did 2hits of the stuff i did last night (we take turns watching one another) and he FREAKED the fuck out because he saw the ceiling fan turn into a giant Turantula then Splatter into millions of little ones, if you could see the fear in his eyes, you would know he was faking it. And after i calmed him down he told me of colorful arrays moving and dancing across the walls and floors like he was just watching them inAwe the entire time.
I am not trying to be an asshole and i am sorry you perceived my post as me being such. I was just trying to point out a decent peice of info you seemed not to take in. And i don't think many of us are scientist or have done studies on the topic of discussion, hence you haven't gotten a scientific response as to what process in you brain is preventing visuals. I have also found that LSD experience is not well suited for logical explanation, its more a spiritual thing. Again not trying to be an ass but this sounds a little far fetched and leads me further to believe that Mr.Writer's assessment of your friends is correct. @Mr.Writer - You described your 3 hit trip beautifully. I dosed about 30 minutes ago(got a day off work) so i can watch the sunrise and i am looking forward to my day even more now after reading your post.
Try pushing your comfort zone dosage wise, do it alone so you have fewer distractions and so that you are not drawn into being concerned about the experiences of those around you. And it never hurts to check out some really cool art specificly designed to enhance visualizations. I recommend my own as it is the best I know of for such an experiment. Go to Raven Dancing fan page on facebook or view a few on my profile here. ENOY!
I have never heard of hallucinations that are completely imaginary. Hallucinations are probably more correctly described as extreme distortions of what is already there. I've seen faces melt, carpet roll like ocean waves, walls breath, pattern like colorful spider web things in corners. In fact patterns is a big part of it. The most I hallucinated was staring at a poster. That lead to euphoric thoughts as the beauty deepened, and ultimately what I call a mindgasm. Stare at anything for a length of time and you will hallucinate. I haven't done acid in a long time so maybe the acid is weaker? The strongest trips I had were on windowpane. I guess if you just want to hallucinate and not get into the head trip of acid smoke some datura or something.
^^This. You're not going to see ceiling fans turn into giant spiders. You're not going to see any solid hallucinations of anything that's not already there (unless you close your eyes and blast off into another world) Your friend sounds like he's embellishing. I agree with everyone else, either increase dose (4 hits is not "pushing" it as far as being dangerous or unhealthy) and stop expecting certain things from your trip... just go with it. If, one day, you eat a tenny and don't get visuals then I guess you're just not meant to. Enjoy the other aspects of the trip. Sometimes visuals are more "cerebral" than right in your face.. what I mean by that is that the visuals sometimes supplement, or go along with your mindstate and are not always a very obvious laser light show exploding before your eyes. If you and your friends are taking turns just sitting in your room tripping I'm not surprised your trips are lackluster. Go out and have a change of scenery, listen to music, be the passenger on a drive (with a sober friend, obviously!) - it's amazing to watch the world whiz by like that. I can't roll off MDMA, even 250mg, so it's not like it's unheard of for certain drugs to not "properly" affect a user. But your case sounds like you just need to make some tweaks to your dose/quality and set & setting to find your sweet spot. Remember, expect nothing but prepare for anything. Good luck, stay safe.
you know what? you need to get fucked up. take 5 hits next time. If you dont get visuals on that then idk wtf is wrong. dont worry about it, everyone needs to have that one experience where they are totally fucked up. I first started out smoking a bit of weed, nothing big and then one day I was like hey fuck it, and took to gravity bong hits and a couple of huge bong rips. That night I completely lost myself. it was crazy and prob the best time of my life. You'll have fun man and I'm sure you'll get visuals on 5 hits. everyone has different tolerancy levels. my tolerance is terrible, i take 2 bong rips and i'm lost while my friends take 5-7 and are quite fine
You've probably already tried smoking weed, but that usually intensifies the visuals for me. You could also try tripping at night, or going on a bike ride or something visually stimulating like that during the come up. Shining a torch in your eyes for a split second (don't fucking stare into it) also helps. Another thing you can try is to close your eyes for a bit, and really focus on the patterns. Look deep into them, until they start to become more vivid, and once you're satistfied with them, open your eyes again, and try to look at darker surfaces until you feel it's really taking a hold of your vision. Hope some of those things help you.
Everyone experiences da trip differently mon. Next time, up the auntie. Do a few more tabs and then you'll be as trippy as your freinds
yeah this really hits the nail on the head. maybe you're expecting too much from your visuals. you aren't going to get true hallucinations from lsd or shrooms.
press on the corners your eyes if you want to see crooked.. pressing on the eyes restricts blood flow... Do it now, and youll see things when you take your fingers away..
Na yo, you gotta use that masking tape and tape your eyes open when you spin, that way you get dem trails son!
dude I know how you feel. I droped 2 hits for my first time and I have a body high but no visuals. It sucks.
