Shrooms changed the way I see

When I take shrooms I like to have a bit of a stroll around town/surrounding areas at night as everything looks incredible. Lately when I walk about at night (weeks after my last psych) everything is noticeably nicer to look at - lights and reflections are that little bit more diamond-like, and trees that were previously uninteresting now catch my eye and steal my gaze.

Whether I'm just paying more attention to the nighttime scenery than before I took shrooms/acid or if they have actually changed something in my brain that makes this all occur is somewhat irrelevant as far as I care, because it has genuinely made things so much more pleasant to look at.

I haven't noticed a difference to the way things look during the day but when dusk hits I start noticing it.

The best way I can describe it is thinking of YouTube: imagine normal life is in 360p, on shrooms it's like you view everything in 1080p. Well now, at night and completely sober, I feel I am seeing everything in 720p.

Anyone had any similar experiences or any idea what I'm banging on about?
 
Yeah, what he said. ^

I find I notice a lot more detail in things these days, plus some silly shit like being able to spot 'patterns' more easily, such as seeing faces in things more often. (Erm, not in a psychotic way.. you know what I mean.)
 
yeah I find that since doing psychedelics I see patterns in things that I never saw before.
 
I actually thought I saw clearer too. I heard from someone (maybe on here) some people in some country take a low dose of shrooms to improve their eyesight when out fishing. I don't know if that's true or not.

Regardless, yeah shrooms were the first trippy thing I did, when you could buy them fresh from camden and online :) Twas amazing and probably changed the way I looked at life to be honest.
 
I remember noticing nature's geometry in a hebe plant under street lighting one night wandering back from a party, think they were black star blotters, very early 90's.

I've loved hebes ever since that one did its thing right in front of my eyes, and found myself noticing these same kind of geometries in so many different plants and trees. It changed the way I see things, but don't think it changed my vision, my eyesight or whatever, just became aware of something that I'm now always aware of.

Other stuff too. But yes, HD vision.

EDIT>>>after ninja by Tangerine Dream :D

I don't think I've ever been fishing on psychedelics. I had a mate in kent who used to get acid off me, over 20 years ago now, and he used to go out on a small boat night fishing in the Channel for cod. I never knew then how the fuck they managed that.

I've smoked DMT on beaches or rocks at night or in daylight when fishing, but I take a 15min break from fishing...can't imagine trying to get a hook out of the gut of a puking writhing dogfish (LSD) while on psychs.
 
i agree that psychs can change you... theres plenty of stories and experiences over in the pd forum...

the effect is not permanent thoug, at least in my case, but it does come back after using again...a good shroom trip will have effects such as these for a few weeks even.
 
They haven't changed my outlook on life or the way I think about life in general, like I know they do for a lot of people. Purely the visual side of things.

I imagine fishing on a lake would be nice on shrooms. Couldn't do it on acid as I would get far too edgy, being in the dark, alone etc.

I know what you mean on the visual side, I've had it many times but usually it goes away after a few days.
On the tip I quoted in bold it did for me, after my first trip it blew my mind wide open, I learned how we are fucked over from birth, how unfair "the system" is, how narrow minded most people are among other things.
It opened my mind to all sorts of things, I really think if I hadn't started at a young age I would be a totally different person today.
 
some things once seen cannot be unseen. such is the effect of psychedelics perhaps ? :)
 
Mushrooms for me seem to turn the world into a beautiful painting - and it's something I am now able to see when I'm sober.
 
Yeah i can relate. DMT for me did some visual and enlightening outlook stuff

^^ this, although my 2nd to last one (only 2gs of my own picked) turned my bedroom into a bejeweled barbie* and supermario love den/palace ... that was quite awesome and perfect .. especially as consuming shrooms always take away every inhibition I'm afflicted with at the same time, and relaxes all my smooth muscles instantly. Was a beautiful occasion anyway ;p


*not a fan or barbie generally, but I can't say I didn't appreciate the effect
 
One of the stranger visual changes that when tripping one night and looking outside from across the room 12 feet or so, I was able to see the individual squares on the window screen magnified. I told my buddy and he said your crazy. Anyhow I had him put up two pieces of tape on the screen and counted the number of little squares that were between the tape. He kept doing it and I kept the count. He wasn't able to see the effect himself but I still do it as a joke. And have been able to see distant objects that others can't as long as I have a star or light behind the object. If anyone knows what this effect is called please tell me. It takes a slight crossing of the eyes to make things jump forward and be magnified. My optician wasn't familiar with it.
 
shrooms have affected the way i see people, bad trips have led to me feeling like i was 'seeing through' everyone and a lot of them seemed to be false, (probably cos i was acting so strange come to think of it lol), but a good trip got me onto the old human warmth hippy vibe thing, thats been chipped away at living in a city, but is still in here somewhere.
 
nope. Have always had an infinite supply of my own picked liberties (and before that grew my own cubensis), so no need to try other stuff

I will do if I ever get caught short tho. Is it worth it? How does it compare to liberties?

For me I had read loads of places it was the same as it was meant to be converted into psilocin, liberty caps are my #1 choice in Psy things (well in the Tryptamine family anyway) but I've done it a few times now & for me I find it to be unique & very different to mushrooms. Before I had it I was reading on the PD part of BL everyone saying it was the same but for me I get at the most 30 mins of the classic "shroom" visual effects then it drops off, I get a basic higher level of colour enhancement as in things are brighter & sharper but none of the flowing patterns, things broken up & dancing etc that I get off liberty caps. For me it is mainly in the ideas I have & I can look at the way people behave & see patterns in their actions, I find it a very "stoned" effect.

The next one on the list is 4-AcO-MiPT as I've read alot of good things on it, I would say to try 4-aco-dmt as so many people say it's the same but for me & a small handfull of others it's close but not quite there.
 
Yeah I get this too, how you describe it as seeing things at 720p. It kind of comes and goes in waves, and certain things trigger it more (patterns, lights..). Then suddenly everything looks a lot sharper and almost vibrates. For me this is since doing lsd, never done mushrooms.
 
How many of you have smoked DMT? proper breakthrough amazing-ness. being molested by mothernature in a g force speeding electric geometric tribal infinite of pure love
