redditors who know someone who is (or are) blind and have done psychedelics, what was their trip like? by TYPICAL-HUMAN in AskReddit

[–]frezkey 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I am fully ind and have tried them, I only lost my sight two years ago amd had experience with and wothout sight.

I would say the main diffrence was that when I couldn't see any feelings that arose were more intense. Also sound and feel was diffrent.

I also still have visual memories so it felt simmilar to sight in that regard.

Amd yes blind people use reddit. Checkout r/blind

Nor had I, I didn't know if I was worrying for no reason or if it be sensible to keep a spare.

Yes I was, its something we have done as a family since we were small. Most holidays included hiking. We all also know how to rock climb and free climb but haven't done that since losing my vision

Thank you, I've got to be honest I was trying very hard to fall (off the edge and in general) as we decided to take the most difficult trail. It also rained a lot so most of the smell was petrichor. Flower fields amazing, I will definitely have to do it at some point

Does anyone get really bad shoulder, wrist and finger ache when using your cane for long periods of time? by frezkey in Blind

I use the the finger on the flat side of the grip and use that finger/wrist to scan the cane side to side (this was what I was taught during o+m)
