Along this line, astro, have you ever had a flashback? Or anyone here who has done acid? |
Flashbacks are bullshit. At least in the sense that you'll never just suddenly have a random hallucinogenic experience. Nuh-uh. Dudn't happen.
Now, that having been said, under the right circumstances it's easy to induce (or even sort of slip into) a trippy-like state, where you might get mild visuals (e.g. trails, slowly oozing patterns) and slight auditories (e.g. tinkles). But I'm pretty sure that has more to do with your mind being more open to experiencing/noticing these sorts of effects than any sort of risidual presence of the drug.
Also, I see trails permanently (yes, I've done gallons of acid over the years). They've been a permanent sort of visual effect for 10 years or more I guess. If something moves between me and my focal point (or if something I'm not focusing on moves), I just always see trails. And a cigarette cherry in the dark? Hell, I could write the Pledge of Allegiance before it would fade.
But yeah, flashbacks (at least as they are popularly conceived) are bullshit.
