What I know from expierence
Permatrip is slang for what the psychiatric community would refer to as HPPD Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder, one could also group people who suffer from shizophrenic spectrum disorders due in part to psychadelic use.
It varies for different people. Some people mearly continue to perceive the acid state of consciousness for months to years after even the first time they've used acid. This is generally considered more of a form of Post Traumatic Stress. As the intensity of the hallucinations some how manages to etch itself into the consciousness of the user.
For others and me personally LSD and similiar psychadelics can precipitate a pyschosis and alter reality for the user indefinately. In my case, I was victim to bad set and setting, and ignorance, as well as possible pre disposition to developing such a disorder.
I did not get any visual hallucinations. Rather for me I was brought to a higher state of awareness that i was not equipped to handle. Rather then having a guide to help sort me through realizations and guide me through metaprogramming and then bringing me back to reality when it was time to return. I instead did not realize that the new realities i began to perceive were due in part to the substance i ingested. The universe spoke to me, instructed me, I realized psychological dynamics of people i encountered, and because i was steeped in religious upbringing a messiah complex came over me in which i felt it was neccessary for me to perform very important tasks in order to help people. I knew these weird tasks would make me look crazy, but at the time they seemed so important i was willing to accept people would not understand why i was doing what i was doing.
Due to the set and setting of my trip. The psychadelic nature of the substance i took enhanced the part of me that was always present... a profound thinker with a desire to change things. Perhaps if i had tripped with a close friend, went outside and explored nature... such visual aspects and such relating to perception would have been altered instead of the way i think.
Psychadelics have the power to enhance greatly whatever the user is perceiving. If you are the type of person that thinks alot and is introverted... tripping by yourself without a guide will lead most likely lead to a very profound expierence indeed, but an expierence in which you may not be able to escape.
So speaking from expierence. If you intend to try psychadelics. Try them with someone you trust, who has expierence. Don't do it alone, and make sure you have at least a good weekend ahead of you to sort out the expierence afterwards.
HPPD is basically PTSD caused by bad trips. I think some people who just tripped way too much also develope HPPD, but probably more likely becuase of a gradual etching away at their consciousness as opposed to a PTSD HPPD induced by a traumatic bad trip in which the you relive the expierence based on the triggering of the fear itself.
There was and may still be a sect of buddhist monks that would practice meditation in a way that would cause them to hallucinate. Basically they would tap into there minds ability to process perceptional information. Then they were told when the hallucinations stop you are enlightened. The mind is capable of quite alot.
It seems to me that the sceince behind this would probably be that... people who are sensitive to substances are more likely to suffer. I think some people naturally have very sensitive neuro-chemistry... People who are gennerally more quite, deep thinkers, and more introverted... must take special care to meet all the proper criteria for good set and setting when going into a psychadelic expierence, or avoid them alltogether... Some of us are just deep to begin with and such substances probably arn't even neccessary for finding many of the deeper meanings and important expierences people seek to aquire through their use.
So the permatrip does exist. and if you don't respect the power of a compound that gives one the power to alter their consciousness and reach a higher state of awareness and perception... that awareness may not respect the mind that has come to it.
So if you must trip. Rule number 1- do it with someone who has done it before.. rule number 2 - make sure you trust this person, they arn't just some person you kinda know who can get shit... 3 - make sure you plan what you're going to do "what's the focus? what expierence are we wanting to enhance?", 4- make sure you have at least 2 days or more after the expierence to have time to sort it out. 5- make sure you won't have to worry about authority figures, (if your having to worry about parents interupting any part of the expierence you probably shuldn't even bother taking a psychadelic as this will not benefit you're psyche in any way.)
The permatrip isn't about the chemical staying in your body forever... it's about that level of consciousness's power to permanantly alter the psyche for better or worse. You are awakening a part of your brain that is reserved for sorting out your day when you sleep and giving it free rain or whatever expierence you choose to feed it. Kinda like a computer really. So if you decide to delete certain files or write a new program that can't be erased during the process, your going to have to live with that afterwords, and hope you can integrate it successfully into your life...
Hopefully that answers some questions.
