    Has anyone had a blind friend who has smoked it? There story??? Just woundering if this would cause receptors normally used for sight that may be ruined to become active or if there where more auditory hallucinations?? I know I had mad auditory ones, Just woundering if these are intensified to a blind person.

    a better thesis is this..get a kid and put him in a isolation chamber for 18 years .wake him up after 18 years of no sound or images*HELL*,...then give him DMT and teach him to talk and write......ask him if he saw anything at all?

    oh sorry but yeah blind people have intesified hearing so i guess auditoy hallucinations might be stronger...but then again you would need to find a direct link between hearing receptors and its impact by drugs.

    That is fucking craaaaazy and cruel lol....
    But I have also always wondered about what kinds of experiences a blind and/or deaf person would have on psychedelics. Or someone that knows absolutely nothing of them.

    It would be very interesting to know what or if a person blind from birth would/could "see" on pure LSD.Seems like nothing but -------?

    Wow, that would be an interesting trip. You would probably go deep inside your mind if you were blind!

    Is it possible for the blind to get any visuals at all? Patterns and such.

    That would be amazing.

    I had an old friend (haven't seen him in many years) who went blind after 16 years of life. I cannot remember what took his sight from him but he still had the ability to very, very soft, blurry vague silhouettes -- not enough for him to leave his house safely without assistance, but enough for him to notice a light shining on his face, for example.

    He loved taking LSD and mushrooms more than anything else in life. He would thank God for every trip he received since it gave him the ability to visualize (ie, imagine) those things that he once could see. Unfortunately, he hadn't tried LSD before he went blind, so I wasn't able to get him to compare the two experiences. But he definitely enjoyed and it gave him a small taste of the comfort of "sight".

    I wish I still had his contact information as I'd happily stop by and treat him to some salvia.

    Best of luck.

    Blind people can dream I heard, so dmt would probably do something. Even of they couldn't dream, dmt would do something probably.

    when I take acid, I see patterns and such that arent there, so I have no doubt in my mind that a blind man would see shapes and patterns in his head. That would be a truely sacred experience.

    I believe it would affect them the same way it affects us. Most of the time you trip on salvia you are not actually seeing things, your mind is just altering the way it processes your senses. So, they could easily have visuals. Most of the time you're closing your eyes when you trip anyway.

    I have a friend who is deaf and when he smokes weed he's normal. When he did salvia he did everything everybody else did, he just didnt hear.

    It's weird because he's some really gangster guy and he looks mean, but he cant even hear anything. And he doesnt talk either but I think thats because he's deaf.

    Thats actually a very intersting question LD, much more so than the usuall ones you get on here. I don't know the awnser because I don't know anyone thats blind thats smoked salvia. But I do have two blind freinds one from birth, one that had a knife drawn across his eyes in a fight when he was 22. Blind from birth people do dream, but they don't see images in their dreams, it is all auditory, in their dreams they hear people talking to them and hear sounds around them, but they don't get any visual images, so it would more than likely be the same if they took salvia. Most people that have gone blind in later life do "see" images when they dream, a small percentage don't and develop auditory only dreams which gradually edge out visual dreams. So there is a strong possiblity that they would percieve visual images if they smoked salvia. I'd imagine the same would be true in both cases for all other hallucinagens like LSD.
