FLASHBACKS ?

I have to agree with this. It seems that all the people from my past who were somehow associated with me or my crew of people, who ended up going off the deep end, were the ones who also did the "street drugs" like amphetamines, phenethylamines, opioids, and research chemicals. I on the other hand had a [what I half-jokingly referred to as] lifetime supply of acid that came directly from a medical doctor in Russia. I had no real desire or need to use street drugs.
And I am honestly just fine. Have a good job, a wife, good health, etc. I am starting "adult life" a little late, lol. That's probably the worst effect of all the brain candy... I am in my mid 30s and only just now settling down, got married, planning to have kids, and that kind of thing. But I feel so much better prepared and capable, now!
And I wasn't joking about taking 10 mics a day for a whole year... I did that. You know how people say acid stops working, and you develop a tolerance and have to keep doubling your dose, all that stuff? Not true, if you aren't trying to keep hearing colors and seeing sounds, lol. The effects are always there, but they provide a more grounding effect, if you can believe that. Everything felt alive, and buzzing with meaning, but it wasn't "tripping". I was able to sleep, eat, go to work, go to school, all of that. I didn't take a large enough dose to trip during that entire year, so as not to wreck my scientific experiment.
I still, to this day, consider LSD a miracle medicine that has yet to be recognized for what it is capable of. It's not all about the trip, there's so much more to it!!!
no thanks.
While i never had an out right retrip so to say, Acid 8-10 times, mushrooms 400+. i think that once we see what we see when we hallucinate, it brings us to become aware of these changes in light perception that were always there. So you now notice these abnormal reflections of light. We hallucinated and slowed down this normal process, an we will forever be reminded. Prior to hallucinating you may not have noticed these abnormal reflections
Really crazy to think about everything is a reflection of light and how our eyes deliver it to our brain. Then to have these brain connections cross paths. light memory an imagination blend.

DId have a flashback , the other day it was not as bad as the one I had when I was 18 but they do suck, dont think I would enjoy trippin like I did at 16 but hey those were the days. Remember trippin on mescuilin on 4th of july thought AND THE PEOPLE i WAS WITH AT A FIREWORK SHOW THEY WERE AIMED AT US FUNNY AS SHIT
Certainly had my share lsd. Stopped dosing at the age of 19 after a bad trip. It wasn;t all that bad. Just took more than my usual one dose, and decided to get adventurous and take two, but it ended up being 4 doses because the paper was folded in half. Two for me, two for my buddy. Anyways I found myself fighting for my own sanity for about 14 hours. So that was bad.
Flashbacks? Yes, for about year after my last dose. Nothing major. Just these brief moments where things felt different, like the first instant when your trip starts to kick in. There would be mild tracers and shimmering of objects, and that undeniable sense of time being lost. Then pop. I'd be out. Just another annoying reminder. Even my pupils would dilate cause my buddy caught me during one of my flashback episodes and said my eyes looked like I was tripping out.
It's been decades now since I've had one, so I think I'm cleared out. Wait, ohh shit....

Always dug the orange mescie microdots! Totally different trip where I felt "waves" instead of "breathing walls" type of buzz with crazy kinda circular visuals instead of fractal type of visuals I got with cid. I miss those days long gone since the onset of parenthood lol. Used to be plentiful amounts of blotter, and dots on Haight and Ashbury in the late 90's when I used to trek down there. I heard several years ago there was a large bust that put a juge dent in supply But I'll never forget staying in my car on the streets around Haight and hanging with the street "culture" down there. SOme cool peeps were met.

Man, I once took to much acid 15 years and I have to say I had the greatest crisis ever for like 10 hours straight.
It felt like my soul was broken or something and all I could do was cuddle up in a corner of my room. An insanely intense feeling of total despair and absolute helplessness. It went away after a while, but now 15 years later the feeling keeps coming back as some diffuse anxiety and I get mad panic attacks that can last for hours....
I wonder if I just suffer from some "burnout" from years and years of too much stress at work or if it really is because of that bad bad trip back then....

Chevy Bro, I had ONE bad trip years ago, where I thought I was dying lol. I had my girl drive my dumb ass to the er and lemme tell ya, if you ain't experienced a trip fryin BALLS to your local inner city er, you ain't really lived hahaha! I still remember the doc lookin at me as I watched his face melt and saying" now, why do people take acid?" Uh I don't know Doc. I said, to trip balls!?! lol. But for a few years after I noticed the onset of panic attacks where I wanted to jump out of my skin..after much introspection, I concluded it was really life's stresses at the time that truly triggered them and have been virtually atack free since. Don't get me wrong, I think I have had an inordinate amount of anxiety, but nothing I can't handle. But still no flashbacks..

I can induce a flashback at any time, for some reason. All I need to do is look at my popcorn ceiling for 30 seconds, and the particles all start moving in little waves, currents and eddies. Not unpleasant at all, pretty danged cool if you ask me. It's an exact copy of the first hallucination I ever had (it was orange sunshine IIRC). I was sitting on the sidewalk in high school, looking down into a small puddle in the gutter. All of the sudden I noticed the silt at the bottom of the (completely still) puddle was moving in waves and eddies. That was the first of MANY times I asked my buddies "did you see that???!!!" and then laughed my ass off, as if anyone could see *my* hallucinations. LOL
