Can psychedelics effect your vision?
    #7980636 - 02/04/08 10:36 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Now, I've heard of acid permanently effecting your color sensitivity and/or general vision.

The thing is: I've never done acid. I've only done mushrooms - a lot of them.

So, Here's how it goes. Back in summer my vision was just right and fine. As fall came along and I had several massive mushroom trips probably once a week for 2 months, I've began to notice a slight decrease in my vision.

So, have any of you guys heard of a psychedelic (mushrooms in particular) messing with vision or is it more than likely just my eyes crapping out for natural reasons such as reading or school?

Well I've only shroomed 5 times, but I've smoked alot of weed, and I have to say that ever since I started using psychedelics, my vision became, well, different.

Everything is more dreamlike and unreal in a way; more beautiful. I think if you are experiencing hte same thing as me, that you should just get used to it and accept it as a gift rather than a curse.

That's actually another thing I've noticed. I trip out on everyday, banal activity and when I stare there's more aesthetic to everything. I definitely agree. But, I've become more near-sided and I can hardly read small print.

I don't think it's anything bad necessarily, afterall it's nothing a new pair of glasses won't fix. I'm just wondering if the psychedelics and weakness of vision are directly related.

Aside from the usual HPPD that I got from Salvia and Mushrooms, I recall one particularly strong LSD trip a few years back when my night vision completely crapped out on me. We were tripping on an island in the middle of the James River and were walking around on trails and I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. It got so bad that I had to grab onto my friends shirt sleeve and have him lead me around. Despite it being a full moon and relatively bright outside, I was about the most blind I had ever been before.

To this day my night vision has never quite recovered. And I do remember it being extremely good up until that particular night. :shrug:

Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.

I don't consider it a psychedelic,
but Hell's Bells can cause permanent blindness

My friend ate a flower and was blind for a good duration of time haha

Fucking weird. It's kind of weirding me out.

I see things out the corner of my eye too. In a still quiet room.

I think the near-sightedness may be related to psychedelics, but I don't think that's the only factor. But in any case, I'm no optometrist, so I can't give a professional experience.

Another reason I want to know all this, is cause I'm going to an optometrist in two days and I wonder if they would know the relation. It's through my mothers insurance so she will be there and that would be shit if he said "this is related to psychedelic damage." I doubt he will but, what if?

I have had HPPD for years after using LSD, and i havent done acid in years.
I dont mind it, but i have never had hppd from mushrooms, oh wait I doubt id notice.
I dont think they will make you blind or anything.
I have been to the eye doctor many times, but one time I went to the eye doctor high on pot, I had a hard time focusing reading the letters when i was getting my eyes checked. :lol:

absolutely.  I get funky ripples in the ceiling and grains in the dark, sliding floor tiles.  This is kinda weird but sometimes when I take a shit I get crazy flying particles through the air making trails--not subtle at all, impossible to ignore. 

But I can see everything that's real just fine--my actual vision hasn't suffered--I just hallucinate a little bit too :smile:

It hasn't negatively affected my life in any way, just a little show here and there, so I'm cool with it.

Yeah, I've been seeing more tracers as I look at lights from the bus or walking about.

Also, the whole taking a shit and seeing sparkles, that's actually natural. It's when you exert force on your body oxygen can get squeezed out of certain cells and it just causes you to "trip-out" or get light-headed. Like sometimes when you bump your head or push something heavy you see "stars".... same concept.

Sometimes I see like a tiny white sparkle flash somewhere in my peripheral vision that lasts like maybe a couple of miliseconds. Is that the same thing you're talking about?

YES. read the other post about this I'm not going to type out my experience again. But they also give you hppd which really isn't a big deal more just existent i guess.

so do i, all the time too, lol.

and i swear my speech is all messed up, like im retarded/fried.  it's funny because it's not all the time but when i do it, people just laugh.

like today at work i said "so you want to do that true" instead of too and then i repeated "so you want to do that true" and the guy just laughed, haha.

but then again it's only been about 6 weeks since i stopped using shrooms and i was using them like every 2-3 weeks for a year straight and i was taking 5-6 grams each time.  :lol:

This thread was moved from The Pub.

I think this conversation is more suited to the psychedelic experience, there have been prior conversations of this ilk in there before.

Since I started using acid... I see sparkles of light and colors sometimes flash/fly across the room

I thought it was from the adderall at first but it's not I know for a fact it was the acid

Hell yes. I've had amazing color sensitivity effects from dmt and mescaline. on mescaline i could see the magnetic field around my fingers. no shit i'm dead serious. on dmt i saw some sort of underlying structure of the natural environment and colors past the violet end of the spectrum before flipping out into some other dimension or something. i havn't been tripping recently so you know, this was years and years ago so i've had plenty of time to think about this stuff and i still think that's exactly what happened. when i started seeing the magnetic fields and shit on mescaline it felt exactly like a dmt trip that i could induce through purposful relaxation, and did so several times. as you may know dmt is fucking nuts and i didn't feel like staying there for very long, so i came out of it through fear i guess. nontheless that's what happend, plus endless visions of aztec symbols don't know what the fuck that was about, seriously have no interest in aztec symbols, but there they fucking were... some kind of alien language or some shit... man aliens from other dimensions is all i can fucking come up with.. i don't care that lots of people think it mad.. what do you say when you meet beings from other dimensions... oh that was just made up... yeah i don't think so :smile:
