Have you ever encountered strobing?

Looks like your vision is a stop motion video. Also makes everything look like its rotating/growing/shrinking.
Has this happened to you?
I personally think this is the most profound visual effect possible and reaching this level of visual alteration usually indicates a very strong substance/dose. This is the holy grail of visuals.
Happened to me on .2 g's of bho wax. Followed by nausea followed by puking. Worth it though.

I saw your subject line and I said (out loud to myself) - yes, but ONLY on weed.
Then I clicked through and sure enough you are talking about cannabis visuals. I know what you mean, it is like a fast flashing slide show of reality. Only experienced it from strong edibles. Pretty hard to deal with actually, but fascinating.
A good friend of mine had that same effect and told me about it a long time before I ever smoked weed, then when it happened to me I was prepared!

Odd. This was the very first visual effect I ever got on my first trip, before any other visuals. It was like the sun had become a strobe light and everything started to pulse and grow (like how ice crystals expand over a surface as water freezes) in time with the strobing. A stop-motion film is a very good way to describe it especially the old style films where you could perceive the blanks in between the frames. It came and went, didn't stay the entire trip but it was that point where I noticed "something's happening".
I also remember something faintly similar the first time I had hash (first cannabis experience, edibles, way too high a dose for a newbie).

Yes!
Having had less than 8 hours sleep in over 3 days, my HPPD has flared up like a mother fucker - pretty awesome to be honest. Feeling like a low dose (free) trip with the d/p and visuals.

Yes, I always called it vision lag, only had it the first time I smoked weed, and the first and only time I tried a synth noid.

I've had it a few times, only from weed. The most intense was my first (and only) gigantic hit of budder. Within a few minutes my vision was a choppy slide-show of reality. My friends and I refer to it as "stutter-vision". I personally find it a bit overwhelming though...

Ive gotten it from "head trip" spice, from large dosed edibles, and also from iv ketamine. I remember thinking of how it was almost as if I took a visual whippet the first time I had it occur. I do kinda really like it.

Weird that pot and dxm seem to bring out strobing more than anything else.
Wonder why?

Trust me, I actually get this everytime i smoke (lucky me ) Its so hard to explain, what happens is this strobing projects my thoughts onto my vision and when i smoke, it feels like memories i never think of are projected into a fast-past strobe like visual
its so fucking cool and mystical

I get these effects on a daily basis while sober. Most of the time though, it's not powerful enough to cover my entire vision. It'll usually be a solid color or surface that will start strobing hardcore. Although, if I focus on it, it'll start covering my entire vision.
This actually just happened to me in the shower this morning, I kept staring at the tiles (which were strobing) and was getting sucked deeper and deeper into the visuals until the tiles were shifting back and forth strobing uncontrollably. At this point I thought I was going to black out or go into a seizure, so I closed my eyes and they disappeared.
It's odd that I'm still getting these effects (presumably still HPPD) even though it's been almost a year since I used to binge trip. It seems that my HPPD has increased significantly after stopping weed.

Its an overwhelming and amazing visual effect. I think its really your brain saying that its overloaded and lowering your visual refresh rate as a result/to reduce strain.

I've gotten this mostly from methoxetamine. Also from DXM. I'm pretty sure visual strobing is as characteristic of dissociatives as morph-warping, saturated colors, and patterns are of psychedelics.
With dissociatives at least, I don't think it's so much due a brain overload of the drug per say but actually due to a lack of successful glutamate binding because of the antagonistic blockade of NMDA receptors. I mean, it starts to happen a little even at lower doses so the effect is just intrinsic to the action of the compounds and not due to too much.
I also did get it like the first couple times I smoked weed when I was younger but never since then, even with tolerance breaks.

Happened to me quite strongly the first time I got high on marijuana. It was pretty damn intense.

Yup crazy shit... like I was missing little pieces of time. Happened once or twice when I first started smoking but not in a really long time.

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but I had some crazy visuals recently. I'm near sighted, it isn't horrible but it is a bummer. When I was tripping I forgot to bring my glasses since I don't really need them too much. When I would stare at something, the visuals would take hold of my blurred vision. I could stare at something and my vision would literally bend and snap back to normal every so often.
