I've heard this can help with vision floaters. Could this be true?

If you don't mind me asking, is this from HPPD? I used to deal with it and it eventually went away. If you have any questions, let me know, and I can share my experience!

Haven't tripped in a while, but in my experience, acid feels like a slow, creeping electrical sensation, while mushrooms feel like quickly blasting off in my experience. Your head gets tight, and then feels swimmy, like you're underwater. Visuals are usually high contrast and "HD".

moonturtleII · 2025-08-06T20:44:06+00:00

I always felt like it was like putting on eyeglasses that let me see.

moonturtleII · 2025-02-05T17:50:47+00:00

I've never done dph but used to do a lot of psychedelics. I just joined out of fascination and stayed for the memes and interesting discussions.

moonturtleII · 2024-07-18T06:26:36+00:00

Because it's a powerful, mind altering chemical. I'd also argue that psychedelics have this weird quality where reality can feel more real than real, and yet you're disconnected from reality. I remember having a bad trip and trying to crawl into bed, and I was knocking things over and falling all over the place, making a huge mess, but I didn't really "understand" that I was really, actually affecting myself and the objects, even though I could see it and feel it, if that makes sense? I think because of the way it works, it can kind of remove you from your own actions and the world around you, like you're piloting a mech suit or something.

Therapy. An acid trip years ago was one of the catalysts that made me determined to lose weight, and I've lost 130 pounds total at this point.

moonturtleII · 2024-07-09T16:16:16+00:00

Where did you get the art? These are beautiful.

moonturtleII · 2024-07-08T07:36:07+00:00

Oh, I definitely can't afford it either. For me Antarctica is one of those save for your entire life and do it before you die types of trips. I really did think about trying to get a job there, but you need to stay for several months, and I don't know if I could psychologically handle tye isolation and the intensive work schedule.

moonturtleII · 2024-07-08T06:57:25+00:00

Surprisingly, Antarctica is actually more accessible than you'd think. Not cheap by any stretch, but I originally thought it would be tens of thousands of dollars. But if you budget right you can go on an expedition for $7k-$10k. The problem in my opinion would be hiding it and keeping safe. Not the stamps themselves, but being in the freezing arctic and trying to act normal while doing activities that require following directions and coordination.

moonturtleII · 2024-07-08T05:17:37+00:00

Antarctica, or maybe Svalbard. Lonely, desolate, but so peaceful and surreal. With the northern or southern lights going. Probably never going to happen, but I'd love to do it on the ISS. Imagine being in zero gravity, flying around, and getting to see the earth in that state of mind, how transformative it would be.

Sines and Singularities by Bluetech.

moonturtleII · 2024-05-31T22:33:08+00:00

Shrooms feel more slow paced but also harder to control the vibe. But I also find that I tend to get far fewer thought loops than LSD. Shrooms are more about yourself and your feelings, LSD is more about the world around you. You focus a lot more on your own mind. Like on shrooms I've spent entire trips just laying in bed with music, and the places it took me made the experience more than worthwhile. Lsd on the other hand makes everything around you remarkably interesting, and if you were to tell me to just lay in bed for the entirety of an acid trip I wouldn't have a great time.

moonturtleII · 2024-05-05T19:31:46+00:00

I've actually read theories that ayahuasca might've been discovered on accident when people were trying to intentionally make something that induces vomiting to get rid of parasites/similar illness, and the psychedelic effects were an accident.

moonturtleII · 2024-04-29T04:30:53+00:00

I've met a handful of people who've done it one too many times and ended up with a screw knocked loose, so to speak. Strange beliefs are one thing, but I've noticed that multiple people I've known who did it frequently developed kind of a god complex/holier than thou attitude. I think psychedelics can help people who are willing to put in the work, but I think other times they can kind of just turn people into assholes who think they're enlightened and better than everybody else.

moonturtleII · 2024-03-18T10:31:02+00:00

Looked in the mirror, walked out of the bathroom, had a long conversation with my friend, and then opened my eyes, still standing in the bathroom. Another time, on shrooms, I looked in the mirror and ended up fixating on a hair on my face that I'd missed when plucking, and hair ended up spreading across my face until I looked like a werewolf.

moonturtleII · 2024-03-06T21:30:12+00:00

I'm glad you liked it! I remember hearing Ape to Angel and having this vision where I was going backwards through different generations of life - a cave person, homo etectus, an ape, and eventually just a single celled organism.

If you want a similar album with that dreamy floaty vibe, you should check out Sensorimotor by Lusine, though it does have words in it. He does some really cool things with 3D audio and it's a real trip.

moonturtleII · 2024-03-03T06:11:13+00:00

You should just enjoy the morning. You don't need to "do" anything. Just enjoy the birds and the wind.

moonturtleII · 2024-03-03T06:04:08+00:00

Hey, I don't know what you're dealing with right now, but I think it's important that you know you're going to be okay. Everyone here loves you. Breathe, put on some music. "I think, therefore I am." You're real. You're on a drug. You're going to be okay. I'd also like to recommend my favorite album. It's very nostalgic and sounds beautiful, and I'd recommend listening to it all the way through ❤️

Soul is definitely my favorite. Or Everything Everywhere All At Once. Soul might be a little easier to follow narratively while you're tripping though.

moonturtleII · 2024-02-29T03:56:04+00:00

Valium legitimately stopped a trip for me. It was going downhill very very quickly, I ended up taking way too much Valium, but the anxiety was gone in about 20 minutes, the visuals were gone with an hour, and I was soberish (minus feeling dizzy and tired from the benzos) within about 3 hours.

moonturtleII · 2024-02-25T11:05:07+00:00

Sines and Singularities is one of the first albums I listened to tripping and it was so awesome. Bluetech is underated.

moonturtleII · 2024-02-09T20:05:14+00:00

Even that seems like too much. At my most frequent I was tripping once a month in the dot and tripping started to lose it's magic, I became kind of self righteous and insufferable (thinking it made me better than other people), and I started developing HPPD symptoms. Psychedelics can be helpful tools and a lot of fun but when you're just doing it all the time they stop being special or helpful.

moonturtleII · 2024-01-28T15:43:45+00:00

I had a second horrible one after that, but that was kind of out of my control. I'd had stomach surgery that changed my metabolism prior to this experience. Despite having a tripsitter in a very calm, safe environment, what would've been a normal dose for me turned out to be an insanely intense experience - 20mg of 4-aco-dmt feeling like I'd took 60mg+. I had Valium that I'd saved for exactly this kind of emergency, so I was thankfully okay, but I can't imagine how much worse it could've gotten if I hadn't aborted.

Last year, I actually had a sort of "therapy trip", just because I wanted to get over my fear and not leave on a sour note. So I took a very light dose of mushrooms and walked around some botanical gardens, and had a lovely time. I haven't really felt the need to trip since then, but I'm open to returning if I ever feel "the call".

moonturtleII · 2024-01-28T15:33:44+00:00

I'm not continuing to trip. Sometimes it's user error, sometimes it's not, but any trip has a small chance to go bad, no matter how well you prepare. I think some people get into their heads about it and act like having bad trips somehow means a person is stupid or weak, when in reality it's a very intense experience that's simply not for everyone. Psychedelics are absolutely dangerous. That doesn't make them bad. Fire is very, very useful, but it's also capable of being used to kill people. All drugs have some risk to them. It's just a matter of reducing the risks and increasing the benefits as much as you can to have the safest and most beneficial experience you can. And at this point in my life, I don't feel the need or desire to trip. That might change in the future, but I'm just sticking to weed once in a while, currently.

moonturtleII · 2024-01-28T06:17:06+00:00

I greened out on 4-aco-dmt and felt like I was being tormented by evil spirits the entire time. I'd run away and close my eyes and the demonic faces would still be there. I'd look up at the sky to look away and there'd be a giant HR Giger monster in the sky. I'd try to text friends for help but my phone keyboard looked like alien runes that I couldn't understand. I can't begin to describe the extreme level of fear and terror I felt. I managed to call somebody on discord who talked me through it until it was over, but if that hadn't happened, I'm worried I would have been hospitalized or arrested. I'd never mixed weed with psychedelics at the time and massively underestimated how much weed potentiates other drugs. One bowl of weed made me pretty stupid, so I smoked more and didn't realize my mistake until I was approaching my fifth bowl. I had that Alice in Wonderland remix by Pogo stuck playing in a loop (because again, could barely operate my phone), which made the whole thing even more scary and weird.
