    Anyone ever get these? I rarely do, but when it happens...damn. It's always childhood minutia, but dear to my heart nonetheless.

    For example: standing in the outfield in T-Ball waving my gloveless hand through swarms of gnats, trying to interpret the utterly foreign sensation created as their granular bodies meet my sweaty palm. The freedom enjoyed by passing birds overhead belies the focus that their shadow elicits, as it resembles that of the baseball I'm supposed be allotting all available attention to. The motivation is fruitless, however, given that the kneejerk "duck and cover" reaction their passing elicits isn't at all conducive the game at hand. Ah, to be eight years old again. Anway....

    Coming to always begs the following question: Why do so many loathe this wonderful plant?

    deja-vu is like when it seems you done or went through this before.. be it.. talkin to a friend, a dog chasin a cat up a tree ect.

    people can get flash backs fomr shrooms.



    Everyone has heard of the term "flashback". In its mildest forms, HPPD can be a subtle perceptual incident that occurs every once-in-awhile to someone who has used a hallucinogen in the past. In the more extreme cases, it can be a syndrome that is present in the sufferer on a 24 hour a day basis.

    HPPD is probably a fairly common occurance in many people who have used hallucinogens. Many LSD users notice small perceptual things such as seeing "trails" and the like when not on the drug itself. For those who are unlucky enough to be on the "extreme" end of this disorder, seeing only "trails" would be considered lucky.

    Imagine experiencing many of the perceptual disturbances of LSD on a constant daily basis, but with an intact mental mindset. This is what the severe HPPD sufferer has to deal with. To make things worse, HPPD in its severe manisfestations is a very rare disorder.

    The reason for this website is not to discourage people from doing what they want to do. I could personally care less what drugs people want to ingest. I am just trying to create a fourm for people who may suffer from this and have no idea what is happening to them.

    Advocates of psychedelic drugs tend to consider this disorder psychologically-based, and that adverse effects of these substances rarely ever occur. While it is rare, I would definitely not consider HPPD to be psychological in nature. Whether it stems from brain-damage or neurochemical alteration, HPPD is obvious to the sufferer to be a real neuropsychiatric problem.
    Any hallucinogen (LSD, MDMA, MDA, MMDA, Mescaline, DMT, Psilocybin, etc) has the capacity to cause this disorder, but LSD seems to be the most common culprit. ​
    sorry i thought shrooms cuased more HPPD problems​
