This is something that I have pondered for some time, and something I dont see talked about in great depth very often here. It's seems that quite a few nexians experience this yet I haven't seen it explained in great detail. What I am talking about is the change in perception and sometimes in visual perception (what some call HPPD) that occurs for some after having taken psychedelics.
Now today I became a little more understanding of this "thing", that most do not refer to as a disorder. I use to, partially still do due to my ignorance, feel that it is a disorder beings that it isn't a normal function that we are born with. My perception of this is changing, today specifically I became aware that I am wrong in my earlier determination that it is a disorder.
First off I would like to suggest we change the word disorder into something else so this state of mind or what have you can have a designation, if for the very least, we can refer to it as something that we can all agree on. So, Hallucinogen Persisting Perception XXXXXX.... What? (Experience, Occurrence, Awareness...)
I may be wrong, and this is just a beginning of my hypothesis on this, but I believe there are stages to this. Stage one would be IMO the stage that ALL users of psychedelics experience at first. What I am refering to is this...
When I had my first real dose of mushrooms I experienced what others had told me as, when you trip your first time nothing will be the same. I did notice this. I felt different, I saw things differently. Something had changed but I couldn't quite put a finger on it. Now I have noticed this same thing increase after having had a very large dose of DMT. It is much more persistent this time around. No hallucinations, but my perception of reality has changed A LOT.
Maybe there are more stages in between and higher stages can include the hallucinations that many of you experience on a day to day basis. This I do not know, nor do I really know if these things are connected. So maybe you guys can help me understand this better. Maybe we can help eachother understand this better. I dunno. But there is not a whole lot understood about this phenomenon.
This has also been one of the hurdles that I have attempted to surpass. I am afraid of it happening to me. It was a huge part of my scary dose and caused some mild PTSD that rears its head when attempting to dose DMT again. So please give me your take on it, I feel we need a thread dedicated to this as a whole.
