Acid and colorblindness.

[Nietzche]

So I had this crazey idea . . . what is acid like for someone who is colorblind? Now granted, for the replies to have any meaning, they must some how be describded . . . I recognize that this will be very difficult. But has anyone out there in bluelight land with colorblindness ever tripped or talked to someone who has?

I imagine its like being on acid otherwise, only you can't tell the difference between green and red when contrasted.

 

[Nietzche]

Yeah i figured as much . . . but colors are always one of my favorite parts of a trip . . . but I guess a color blind person would know any different.
Any other thoughts on the matter?

Very interesting question... my guess would be that they would have the same visuals anyone else would - but they are not going to see colors they normally couldn't.. LSD will alter your perception of things, it will not create colors you couldn't otherwise see..
Any colorblid people care to give thisa shot in the name of science?

Or how about the totally blind for that matter? I imagine that would be scary as Hell, or really fun =)

Good question! What I am wondering is if acid might be capable of awakening some sense that is otherwise hidden or unworking . . . blind or deaf . . .
Because, in my experience, acid has seemed to combine different senses together, (I think this is called synthesi) might otherwise unworking senses be able to be mildly felt or awakened . . .
I would be very interested to hear about any colorblind, blind or deaf individual's reactions to acid, or any halucinogen or theories associated with them.
