Does the "snow" ever go away?

Hello everybody! Long time no post. My bad, priorities in life have shifted away from psychedelics for the time being (scared to death of them still.)
I just have a quick question for those of us that are/were heavy users. Does the visual "snow" effect every subside? It's going on about two months since my final trip, which isn't very lon, so I'm not too worried. Anybody have any insight or experience to share on the subject?
Thanks in advance

I don't know the answer to the question you are asking, but I do know that you will make very few friends worth having as long as you carry around the kind of attitudes that lead you to post an image like the one you seem to have taken for a signature. But you will find that out by and by, if you are lucky and live long enough. (I am not saying this to insult you, by the way)

Well, as stated, this question is for those of us that know what I'm talking about. And as it appears you are not one of those people, I understand your confusion.
It's common for people that have used psychedelics for a while, and presumably heavy amounts, to have a "snow fall" type effect on their vision. Especially when looking at black surfaces.
And as far as my signature is concerned, it is a gif from my favorite movie American Psycho. I haven't received any negative comments on it until you. So I'm not going to take it to heart. Not every signature on here has to be pixies and rainbows, my friend. Have a good one, though!

I kinda think it's a good signature. This is what sheeple think phychedelic users are like while they are chugging alcohol, puking in street and ruining their lungs with cigarettes...
Might as well live up to it.

For 99% of people out there it will go away. I was unlucky(or lucky I think) enough to be sold 25-I as acid and did what is called a hippie stroke(1strip or 10 hits around the tongue) and damn near overdosed on the shulgin compound. Ever since that happened 5 years ago there is slight fractalization in concrete and geometry in grass and almost everything. Its like when you just begin to notice the trip or are on the comedown. If you've ever had issues, and I'm assuming yes from insinuations in you're OP, stay away for quite awhile. Average visual snow will for sure go away, just don't try to make it worse. Most people dont enjoy HPPD like I do. Worst part about it all was brain scans up the but. Sorry for rambling, just don't want people who don't see it as a blessing suffering from over use. Good luck, hope the vision heals quick my friend.

They have had what they love most taken from them, be it freedom, love, money, or anything for that matter. When you lose your greatest love you also lose your greatest fear, when that happens you are completely and utterly free.

Much thanks for the detailed response. I am in no way suffering from this, as it is very minor and doesn't bother me like I imagine it does others. I'm taking a few more months off MINIMUM, and even after then who knows. I was just wondering if it's something I need to learn to not notice or what :p I was always tripping so frequently before, I just never thought of it as a long term thing. Thanks again!

Yeah, it goes away....but it takes a looooong time to go away.
I really dont get the "snow", more like ameboa "blobs" that swirl around when im in the dark sometimes. Similar to being on shrooms, but mild.
It eventually goes away if u stop using, it just takes its sweet time.
Personally, i kinda like it (since it doesnt show up everyday). Its like a little mini trip to remind me of my love for psychedelics 
And its good to see u AndyApex! Its been awhile my friend. Glad youre back.

Yes, but it can take years. I don't get snow as much as patterns and swirls and distortions and such.
When I abstain for a year, the effects are maybe 5% of what they normally are. 2 years, and it's like 1% or less.

I'll have to keep being patient then. I hope smoking weed doesn't have any significant effect on how long or whether it goes away at all.
And I never left I just visit from time to time and see if anything interesting is going on. I am currently extracting DMT just for fun, with no intent of doing it anytime this year :p
I miss psychedelics, but I am not in any state of mind to tolerate them. I have a lot to sort out until that time You better be here when I do, though!

It does, if you stop taking psychedelics. Marijuana will also draw out the process and exaggerate the problem.
I think lsd is the worst for this. I still feel the door is open 8 years later. But, I enjoy it, really.

Hard to say. I have a naturally HUGE tolerance for psychedelics in general, and I never realized this snow effect until I stopped tripping. I feel like I never would have noticed if I didn't already have knowledge of it happening to others :p
So, if you're not paying attention, you'll never notice. You have to stare at something to even notice. And even then, it's not bad. If you're a once in a while user, I wouldn't worry so much.

I think so. IME, lsd more so than mushrooms. Just don't do it too often. Personally I think lsd lasts a lot longer than 12 hours - that's just the strong part. I feel it's effects subtly a week later and even more subtly a month later. If you don't abuse it you should be fine. Some people don't get it at all...most maybe?

2cx drugs I find are the worst, something like 2ce with its long duration can cause this in my experience. Its very hard for your brain to forget when you have been in a trip over 24 hours especially sleep deprived. I find dosing acid in the morning and getting to sleep at a usual hour greatly helps on the side effects.

You are right. I haven't taken psychedelics, or any other substance, in such a way that they have damaged my vision, and I do hope they haven't permeanently damaged yours..
As for my comment about your signature--I never expeced for a fraction of second that you would take it down. Truth is, Im surprised you didn't get it enlarged and framed in neon.
But here is my point: If ever you get into trouble down the road--and shit happens to us all--that kind of thing can be found out and held against you. Judges and juries have a way of frowning hard on that kind of image and a way of drawing all kinds of weird conclusions about those who display them. Snuff. You will do what you have to.

2CE lasts 8-10 hours, not 24+.
Anyway, what caused it most for me was tripping on a weekly basis.

His signature is from American Psycho. The lead actor is Christian Bale of Batman fame. American Psycho is a super common and rather famous/popular movie. Your posts seem very naive. You must be very young, and clearly not from America.

Ive had it since born. Hasnt ever gone away for me.
Im sure theres a difference between having it at birth and having it from psychedelics. But maybe not.
