Comment on [drugs] what does LSD feel like?

I just want to add that it’s not the same experience for everybody. The way your unique brain reacts could be very different from others. Be safe!

Yup! I have aphantasia (inability to mentally visualize things), so I had hoped that LSD would give me some really fun, trippy visuals that I was otherwise unable to come up with in my own head. Unfortunately, I didn't get that, BUT instead what I experienced was seeing the colors of everything around me start to breathe. I don't know how else to describe it than that; the objects themselves weren't breathing, but the colors the objects were made of, were. It was like the colors would glow vibrantly and hold that glow for a moment, and then "exhale" with the colors fading out and around until the object was a dull, muted color. Then it would slowly brighten back up until it glowed again. Everything I looked at had its own unique rate of "breathing", nothing was in sync.
Nobody else in my group had anything like that. They all talked about seeing geometric patterns, shape-shifting, heightened empathy, etc. My experience was way more mild compared to everybody else.
Also, while I didn't have an intense visual experience, I did have a hard time focusing my eyes on anything, and everything was very blurry for a few hours. That made me feel very nauseous, so also be prepared for the possibility of throwing up, OP.

That’s how mine went too, we have similar brains I guess

Oh nooooo I hate feeling nauseous! xD But I guess some experiences have that kind of a price… Thanks for sharing! And thanks for being the first person I ever talk to that lives with aphantasia! I had only every heard of it in the TV series Space Force.
