I don't necessarily think there's such a thing. These substances we use allow us to see things we couldn't before, some people just like to bitch, ya know?

I smoked a bunch of dmt yesterday and I'm still experiencing what I can only really call aftershocks, like an earthquake lol. a lot of the time it only happens with objects that are stacked horizontally like window blinds or rough pavement.
I'm okay with this though. it just reminds me of all I've learned through tripping and the good times I've had.

It's not like it's a mental health issue. It's just an occasional, mild visual phenomena. go for it.

No. It's rare, and you have to be either abusing these substances or be taking gargantuan doses. I doubt it's gong to develop in someone who is sensible with them.

totally worth it. the risk of hppd is high, the risk of hppd that is strong enough to actually affect daily life is very low.
just dont abuse psychs and you will have no problems

I've been taking psychedelics long enough (since probably '92 or so?) that I couldn't really put my finger on HPPD. I do get some interesting effects from strobing lights and stuff, and am able to slip into semi psychedelic states easily when I want to. Not really a big deal. Pretty cool really. Only time it's inconvenient is when I'm driving on a bridge and get strobing from the beams and stuff. Kinda spaces me out a bit.

Yeah, I have gone through some pretty severe phases of HPPD but that still wasn't bothersome. It goes away too if you just take a break.

First off I totally agree with the people saying that basically it's not that bad just deal with it. Next I must say that unless you are planning on eating a couple thousand hits of L over the next year or you eat 10 double stacks at a time 3 times a week then you won't get HPPD, but even if you do you must like tripping anyway. Who among us has not said at least once that they would like to trip "just a little bit" forever.
-------------------- 3 things your signature should have 1) A disclaimer about how everything you say is a work of ad-libbed fiction and should not be taken seriously
2) A quote from some famous psycho-naut like Tim Leary, or Alexander Shulgin.
3) A grand statement about the current state of the spirituality of mankind.

Just looked up what HPPD is.

Meh, when I was young and stupid I used to take 4 GOOD pills (full of high dose MDMA back then, late nineties) a night, at least once a week. I took stupid doses of acid, up into the thousands of micrograms. I was stoned from dawn till dusk.
I had HPPD REAL bad. Like, walls never stopped twisting and melting EVER, for 6 months. In the end I quit the weed and slowly it all sorts. The brain has an amazing capacity to repair itself.

Actually OP, the persisting effects of psychedelics is one the the reasons I love them so much.

We all experience dizzy spells already, so HPPD is nothing to worry about.

I noticed my sister, who is 14, never done a drug in her life, doing some things that I thought I picked up from psych's. For instance, concentrating on nothing.

I've done a ton of doses. Yeah things are more colorful and I feel like I'm slightly tripping all the time. But I LOVE IT. 
I will continue to trip as much as possible
