I think I know what you mean Blumpkin, and I believe it is just HPPD.
I noticed after I had my first few real experiences with psychedelics that it looked like my vision had static in the air, like molecules or tiny little specs you can see everywhere, right?
It doesn't impair my ability to see or anything, its like I just notice it, and I directly attribute it to the use of Psychedelics and embrace it as a sort of fun side effect
If you keep using whatever caused this to begin occurring (I'm assuming MDMA?) then it will not go away, my recommendation to you is that if it is bothering or troublesome for you, then take a break from the substance you first noticed started causing it, and it should clear up in due time.
Personally, I have all kinds of weird HPPD like effects with my vision, however they are not debilitating for me, in fact I find them to be kinda neat most of the time. But I have not noticed any in particular from rolling, usually only from more visually oriented psychedelics. But MDMA is a psychedelic, and it does cause alteration of perception and some mild visuals at best, so the possibility of HPPD is there and likely if you frequently roll, especially if you do other psychedelics as well, that includes weed.
Especially since I find that weed usually brings out HPPD for me, but who doesn't want to have some mild visuals with their herb?

That is exactly what Im talking about Triptastik. I never noticed it this bad until i candyflipped on a tab of LSD and .3 of some really potent moonrocks about 3 weeks ago. From what ive heard, this never goes away. I am full of regret and quite anxious/depressed and i just want to be able to look at a pure blue sky again. I'm tired of the blue sky being filled with television-like static... but I might just have to get used to it i guess. I was such a normal person before. Ugh.

I hope you feel better dude, I can't imagine having HPPD that was actually bad, maybe you should see a doc if it doesn't clear up after awhile.
From my knowledge and experience, if you stop using for awhile it WILL go away, sometimes people need meds to cope with it, but I can't make that decision for you. I tend to think adding more drugs to a bad situation caused by drugs isn't the most sensible idea, but if it is becoming that much a problem perhaps you should see a doctor.
Was it a bad trip or anything along those lines? Or have you simply been bothered by the lasting imprint the experience left on your brain?
How often do you typically, or how many times have you, used psychedelics?
My friends and I typically view HPPD from tripping as pretty much the norm, but none of us have ever had actual problems arise from it, and we're all pretty much run of the mill psychonauts.
Maybe you are having difficulty integrating such an intense psychedelic experience into your daily life, and the persisting visuals keep reminding you of the trip and scaring you, making it harder and harder to do. I find the integration of an experience to be much more important in the long run than the experience itself.
Would like to hear a little more about your background history of drug use before this happened....

Ok so basically I used really pure MDMA quite a bit this past year. I binged at Camp Bisco music festival for 3 days in August, then not 2.5 weeks later rolled on like .5 grams of pure sass. No bad after effects. Then in October I went to a New Deal show and ate maybe .3 of some pure MDMA. Then two weeks later, at Bassnectar, ate a ridiculous amount of molly, like .7 grams. Didn't do any hard drugs until 3 weeks ago. I ate a tab of LSD and maybe .3-4 of potent moonrocks. I have suffered from anxiety and fuzzy vision since then (fuzzy vision = Visual Snow). Previously, I had only dropped acid 3 times. I really enjoy the occasional bright colors and moving patters I still sometimes see, but its the fuzzy vision that really fucks with me. I just want a pure and unadulterated view of my world. During my trip, which was wonderful, I felt a pure oneness and love for the world and people. However, I feel that this feeling was "artificially"produced by the obscene amount of MDMA I ingested. I feel like the insightfulness of the LSD was overpowered by the speediness and "artificial" love produced by the MDMA. I understand and have come to terms with those feelings.... I think. I would really really just like to be free of anxiety related to fuzzy vision I have. Thats the issue I'm dealing with right now.
Ok so with regards to the persistent anxiety and OCD revolving, repeating thoughts -- I keep telling myself I have HPPD and that I will never be the same, I've irreversibly fucked up, etc. You guys tell me, and my psych tells me that with time, things will get better. I sincerely hope so. Has anyone tried Luvox for OCD/anxiety and how much does it help? I can't possible live in such a state of heightened anxiety for the rest of my days (even thought it may get better in time? ahhhhh)

The anxiety bit is mostly psychosomatic for me. I've suffered from HPPD for several years, and after a while, you get used to it. If I'm highly anxious for some other reason, the HPPD gets much worse. It also gets worse with marijuana use and after psychedelic sessions. I can hardly smoke pot as I typically freak out from smoking nowadays.
I'm not advocating it, but benzos and opiates always tone it down when it gets too severe for me. It's something to learn to live with but I promise it will get better with time. In fact, I can say that today I'm experiencing very little as I've had a several month abstinence from chemicals.
