Light Effects, Flashbacks & Other Strange Psychological Effects of Drugs.

[Alfa]

After a period of intense LSD use many experience seeing strange light effects & flashbacks. XTC can give the stranges mental after effects. Anyone out there that has experienced something like this or other mental after drug effects?

many moons ago, while still at school I was keen on acid. I took a pretty fresh Pyramid blotter and was taken completely by surprise by the dose. No hilarious insights, this was another dimension. All went well, however for several months afterwards, sometimes in a class room, i would be catapaulted back to my acid induced state of mind. One thing that linked these flash backs tho: flickering lights, or neon lighting, and people marching. Absolutely no idea why. These experiences lasted sometimes up to half an hour. I was pretty young so I didn't analyse it too much, or ask frends to tell me if there were any outward changes.


that's all folks

I get weird acid like vibes sometimes, but have never had a full blown flashback that lasted any length of time.

Its not XTC or Acid, and you may call it a pussy drug, but I did large amounts of DXM quite frequently back in HS, and it was my acid. Itried LSD but still liked DXM10xbetter, perhaps i'm odd. Anyways, maybe its dain bramage, butto this day i still see walls and tv/computer screens breathing(growing larger and smaller)when I am either relaxed from something artificial, or just in a very calm state of mind. Also, when I meditate Ihave (i guess you'd say) "flashbacks" ofclosed eye hallucinations. For instance, if I meditate deeply I can practically summon back my out of body experiences and see myself, just like I did on my few 4th plateau trips. I still wonder if I am just bringing the image memory back, or if all the DXM use has done something to me which allows me to regenerate the trip.


Only once have I had a completely involuntary "DXM flashback" though, and it happened when I had kinda a deja vu of the day I got caught. Long story short I sold the pure powder in 250mg pills and one kid who still hadn't built a tolerance took 3 of them at disney on grad nite, passed out in front of a security guard, and this eventually made it back to me. (he was fine just on the 3rd plateau, he didn't just drop down he layed down)I ended up back there for a college orientation thing, and the weather conditions were the same and I got some kinda tripped out feeling outta nowhere, but no hallucinations.

I've never had any sort of flashbacks or anything really similar to an original trip, but I do get some strange visual effects sometimes. Often when I'm very relaxed or tired, I also find that TV screens, lights and other objects will grow and shrink, or sort of distort slightly, like viewing them from underwater.

I never had a "flashback" where I'd start hallucinating and tripping. More like "rememberances" instead of flashbacks. "Rememberances" areflashbacks, just sit in your easy chair and remember how fxxked up you were.

I see things that aren't there if I'm on a real bender.. I just tell myself it isn't real, it can't hurt me-

Me and a lot of friends suffer from flashbacks too. I don't know the reason behind this, other friends of mine did equal shit and they never had any sort of flashback. I think it depends very much on the persons itself and how they integrate the psychedelic experiance.


I know one friend who'se gon over the bleeding edge. He ain't normal anymore and is very delusional. Needles to say he tripped more than one would consider possible. But then again his best friend did all the shit he did and he's fine.


And I wouldn't consider flashbacks as something negative. They can be annoying but I beleive there must be a good reason for them being there. Sorry I don(t mean to offend anybody suffering from heavy hppd. It's not a good understood subject. But I think more factors are involved in the mechanics of flashbacks.

if you do a lot of 2c-i in a short amount of tyme, you start getting flashbacks and see stuff change all the tyme. at least it was that way for me and about 10 of my friends. i probably brained my damage
