here's a wee tale
I had one job, in the great sandy desert in australia, with not much to do but drive around and kick over some old exploration leases in the off chance they were worth holding onto. they may well have been, but I wasn't the one to find out. I was tied to a gold mine, and though my geo job took me anywhere in 1000km radius, the company had a random drug testing policy which crucially didn't test for acid. I was pretty cashed up, so I asked a mate to get as much as he could, and he came through with vial and dropper which he said was about 500 trips worth of about 100μg drops. I took one, then 2, then 5 at time. Soon I was doing 10 drops or more, and really having some heavy visual trips and swagging out under the stars. I ended it when I'd taken some in the morning and got called back to the mine for some crisis meeting. they were talking about the drillers ending their contract earlier over some dispute, and it felt I was looking down a huge slope (a gradient, not clarkson joke) in the boardroom table and could only mumble when a question was directed at me from down below.If you've not taken lsd, and I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, it can last 10 hours or more before its effect fade, so if you bought the ticket, you can't get off the bus. I got away with it apart from some rather odd looks, but didn't touch it again for about 20 years. Ticked quite a few but not all of the boxes in the above video, though I maintain that drugs can only work with the mind that takes them, so there probably is no universal experience with 'em

I disagree, some elements of the experience, like geometric patterns are very common indeed.

Especially with DMT

maybe so
here's a weird thing, I reckon for a good three of four years afterwards, I was able to recreate one or two of the visual effects by staring at something and putting myself into that mindframe I remembered from my trips, obviously not to the same extent.

Neat when it works.
I was thinking along the lines of when eyes are rubbed, triggering the retinal cells, patterns can emerge. These patterns are often geometric in a similar way.
I suspect the psychedelics are introducing random errors and the same underlying perception is attempting to correct.

Something I read somewhere said appropriate drugs can lower the activation thresholds of neurons.
Which would presumably give a similar effect.

Also increase firing strength
and decrease recovery time leading to circular thoughts.
Interestingly, because your visual cortex is made of neurons, you can determine the physical wiring of your own brain by noticing exactly which patterns you get. Circles, snakes, paisley etc
This particularly applies to LSD

happily the only significant flashbacks i get
is where it'll sometimes look like the ground is breathing deeply
which is actually quite nice
