Flashbacks a terrible exagurration?

I can pretty much say that I've had a few.
They aren't intense in the least. I just have the "head full of acid" (as my friend likes to put it) feeling, and I space out more.
Where did people get this concept that a flashback is an instant LSD trip? It's more of a reminder for me. "hey! hows it going! you do acid!".
Not a "I'm tripping!" thing.
Has anyone had a flashback that they could even compare to a trip? Intensity wise.
Again, intensity. Don't go off on some completely different direction here.

you mean persisting lingering intensity as opposed to a stretch of the mind towards a particular odd vision or odd sensation or combination of odd things, in a way that is not sustained of it's own accord.
with psychedelic it continues on it's own and resonates deeply and encompasses firmly.
well sometimes a flashback happens like that, with body buzz and more! it's natural. maybe even natural epiphany; it happens; but not that much.

No, I've never felt that same trademark intensity. I would be really scared for myself if I did.

Yeah it can, I don't see why not considering it's not a physical effect.

I still get the tracers sometimes, and I can get into a similar spacious consciousness, but not a flashback in the sense that war vets get.
-------------------- 1. "After an hour I wasn't feeling anything so I decided to take another..." 2. "We were feeling pretty good so we decided to smoke a few bowls..." 3. "I had to be real quiet because my parents were asleep upstairs..."

I had a kid tell me once that acid makes your brain bleed, and the blood with acid on it then rests on your spine, and if you "shake some of it loose" you will start tripping again

After particularly intense orgasms, I see things in a sort of a color wash. It lasts for all of 5 minutes at the most.
But other wise, no. I've never had a flashback of any kind.

if you've had a REAL flashback you'd know that you get stuck in a time-space continuum/singularity and the onlyway out starts with S and ends in UICIDE.
Sorry for posting.

I do mushrooms once a month and I sometimes get flashbacks.
The most recent was over my in-laws - I could see a cat-like blur squirming about on the floor, I felt light headed and felt reality bend.
My in-laws already think I'm odd so my slightly distracted behaviour went unnoticed.

Sometimes moments come where time seems to slow down and I enter a trance like state. I guess this could be considered a flashback of the timeless states encountered on high doses of psychedelics.

I have never had a "flashback". iv heard the stories so its been in the back of my head as something that could happen. So sometimes when a reflection on glass keeps happening but I only catch a glimpse of it, i think my minds playing games with me. But in fact its just me noticing little strange things that for most people they wouldnt double guess it. Similar things like things blowing in the wind will do this, and lots of things at work.. welding flashes, grinders all have that glow or tracer effect. The worlds a trippy place, dig it ..

Ive had 4 Its always bright sunlight or extreamly vigorus activity that triggers them. I get spacey and feel very strange one time i was on a boat fishing in a lake and the sun shined in my eyes and i looked away and started seeing the weird geometric shapes you always see around lights when your tripping and had streamers it only lasted for about 2 mins but was really weird thats the crazyest one. The other i just start feeling like im tripping and stuff gets bright for a min or two.

I have had several very intense, and as redgreenvines describes, persistent hallucinogenic states lasting for up to an hour in the months following several mimosa and mushroom trips.
These experiences were sometimes triggered by pot, though the effects far surpassed what pot usually does. They also happened occasionally when I was completely sober.
I think this kind of thing was completely necessary. At the time I was looking at it from a very shamanic point of view, and it still seems clear to me that my sober psychedelic experiences were like forced messages from the spiritual realm I had discovered.
Most often my 'flashbacks' gave me new perspectives on some of the major questions and cosmological problems I was struggling with after these incredible DMT experiences. They were essential in my integration of those seemingly impossible experiences.

I like the government is all like "Don't do hallucinogens, you'll have flashbacks! Join the army instead and become a combat veteran!"

i've had a few over the years but like you said nothing major, just a little reminder is all. they usually only last for about 5 minutes.
