I'v got a friend thats done LSD about 7 times and after his last time he told me and other ppl that he was in fact hearing colours(when sober) when people talked or when listening to music. Just wondering if anyone else has went threw this.

i've seen music, and i think that's fairly common-
the claustrum (brain structure dealing with sensory integration) deals with this sort of stuff... and has a high concentration of the receptors that LSD binds to. nobody really knows why exactly synaethesia occurs, though.

seeing colors to different songs on the cd "Electric lady land " but not hearing colors, have you ever been to electric lady land created an orange tint to visuals. synthesia is very hard to describe imo. i get it alot on shrooms: 7.8 of cubes and i could *smell this little golden plastic frog... thats as far into detail that i can describe, i cant put it into words.

Well it sounds like hes got himself a case of good ol fashion HPPD. In the simplest terms: Someone trips, and for some reason, part of the drugs sensory changes stays with them for an undefined amount of time afterward. Psychedelics aren't things to play with.

That's not HPPD.
HPPD is a chronic psychological disorder... a set of symptoms that continue despite total cessation of drug use and produce profoundly distracting and debilitating consequences. Having a prolonged psychedelic experience is not HPPD.

Lets not get into a debate about something that is that far above our heads. HPPD doesn't have to be some form of psychosis.
Diagnostic criteria for 292.89 Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder
A. The re-experiencing, following cesssation of use of a hallucinogen, of one or more of the perceptual symptoms that were experienced while intoxicated wiht the hallucinogen (e.g., geometric hallucinations, false perceptions of movement in the peripheral visual fields, flashes of colors, intensified colors, trails of images of moving objects, positive afterimages, halos around objects, macropsia, and micropsia.
B. The symptoms in Criterion A cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
C. The symptoms are not due to a general medical condition (e.g., anatomical lesions and infections of the brain, visual epilepsies) and are not better accounted for another mental disorder (e.g., delerium, dementia, Schizophrenia) or hypnopompic hallucinations.

i think mild synesthesia is common among frequent psychedelic users, as well as some people have it naturally. i know that i sometimes "feel" music in my body sometimes when sober, but much more so when tripping on high doses.
my 2 cents
