Yeah, I just wish both drugs existed. What people think lsd does sounds more casually fun than a drug that makes you horny then introspective and all the while tied to mystical feelings. LSD is the best time I’ve ever had confronting my behavior, but it does force me to confront shit
i always describe LSD as a drug that puts a mirror to your face so you get a good look at what you see for a solid 6h+ whether you like what you see or not. Plus other things obviously, but for me that’s the main and best feature
me neither hah, obviously when i was told “maybe don’t” i heard “definitely do”, it is rather fun, my brain always comes up with a lot of symbolism for those moments
Oh absolutely, though I never noticed the olfactory or aural ones. It’s that they aren’t coherent hallucinations. They’re more likely to be geometric. They can tap into the entheogenic properties but pop culture loves to treat it like it’s visual first and temporal last, when really any dose will give most people temporal hallucinations, and it’s usually a medium dose to make the ceiling go wavey. I’ve never done a large dose so I can’t speak on that.
Outside the time hallucinations, the hallucinations aren’t the main attraction, it’s the tapping into the feeling of connectedness.

Slightly ironic word choice; one old adage cautions about looking at your face in a mirror while on LSD. I’ve never had a problem with it though.

I mean, it does also cause visual, aural, and olfactory hallucinations. Plus mess with how you perceive time.
