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.
