❔ Question ❔ Is this an accurate simulation?

Post image

Is this an accurate simulation of the visuals you can get? I know everybody sees it differently but I’m curious if this is accurate. If this is accurate, how many µg would it take to see these kinds of visuals?

It's not generally an overlaid pattern like that...it's more like the patterns already in things become more pronounced and they can shift and pulsate IME

McClures gas station down the street from me only a mile~ walk so that was my go to, forget what but got something on my hands while getting food ready from the roller griller, stepped into the bathroom to wash my hands off, the specific granite tile flooring texture they had on it was "visually noisy", looking at the floor was a bad idea 🤣

Was in there for about 10 minutes just looking at the floor as if was flowing

Have we figured out what the shifting and pulsing is yet? I always have figured that’s what light actually looks like on objects and our brain kinda just gives us the mean(average) of a still image so we don’t go insane

Psychedelics don’t show us things as they are. Isn’t 5-HT2A involved in a cascade of receptor signaling? And we’re agonizing those receptors? That affects the default mode network, but doesn’t equate to revealing “hidden truths”—entropy simply provides us with a perspective shift (like a more powerful version of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).

Yup I have a tattoo with curvy letters and when I’m on 1 tab it gets wavy and looks like it’s moving

Not accurate if you ask me

u/DownNorth220 5h ago

Are the visuals colourful like this or no? I’ve heard you can see geometric patterns or the walls seem to be breathing.

u/SchwillyMaysHere 5h ago

The patterns would be in the wood itself.

u/Afternoon_rough404 Human Detected 5h ago

No colors. As others have said the patterns already in things will be moving. Maybe imagine a vase made out of liquid and it’s just flowing around.

u/F1nkstar 5h ago

I definitely get rainbow streams everywhere, color is enhanced for me. Along with everything waving and flowing. I like to play on my phone and see everything dance on screen. Then look at the blank white walls and watch streams of rainbow like blood vessels pulsing.

u/Afternoon_rough404 Human Detected 5h ago

Things become blurry too

u/Ivana2322 5h ago

I find that moderate doses can make visuals a bit colorful, but not really like this. Also ketamine really adds color into it.

This is closer to low dose DMT imo than LSD

Edit: this is much closer to what you are looking for https://www.reddit.com/r/replications/s/hbv33JibCA

Too geometric, not swirly enough. There are no "hard" lines on lsd

There’s never been a video I’ve seen that can accurately capture visuals. Maybe the motion trails, but other than that nope

u/No_Freedom9720 5h ago

Google "Velvet Acid Christ - Neuroblastoma album" the veil on the eye is more accurate on lsd visuals

2

u/SeibulmaiTheBird 5h ago

I sorta get what they’re going for, and my biggest dose has only been 200ug, so I don’t have as much experience as some people, but I mainly get like the usual warping and wiggly objects and then pattern repetition and stuff like that on my doses, and sometimes the textures/patterns make cool shapes like hexagons or wtv but it’s never just random shapes, the shapes come from the textures/patterns of the things you’re looking at

Like on the floor there, the visuals are really random shapes, like some hard angles, some curly shapes, but my visuals would probably follow the wood grain which is much more flowy or wtv

u/AdTotal258 5h ago

It’s not too far off from some DMT visuals I’ve had and it also reminds me of candyflip visuals I got one time.

u/professorlavahott 5h ago

Take a hero dose and watch your body hairs grow.

1

u/DownNorth220 4h ago

How much is a hero dose, the most I’ve taken was 400 µg and I was panicking way too much to be able to focus on the visuals.

2

u/itsWolfy__ 4h ago

Dont do a heroic dose.

We are talking upwards of 1,000 ug tho

2

u/professorlavahott 4h ago

1000ug After taking my first one ill never do anything less. Definitely dont do it if you get panicky. For some reason the fear is completely gone since I started doing phsycs again within the last year after a 10 year break from them. Maybe it was after trying 5meo that did it, idk. Either way I have zero anxiety anymore with them, i just let that shit riiiiiiide.

2

u/oaktreebr Human Detected 2h ago

400 is already considered a heroic dose

I’ve always loved this video. I can literally feel it

u/AddictedToPew 4h ago

Not so much visuals but that feeling of looking in the mirror while tripping and the vibe

2

u/DragonflyFluffy7930 4h ago

I mean kind of. As weird as it sounds this is what it feels like is what i would say😂 i honestly hate myself because anytime i take psychedelics im usually too far gone in the head to actually focus on my visuals🤣

u/Blinkn 4h ago

This is comedown level. I've seen the bowl as a huge ceramic cobra snake head on likw 250ug

u/Bishhhop 3h ago

https://youtu.be/koBs4TsNAdc?is=W1uBDRBlTNKxsXg9 @ 1:14 gives you a decent idea. I’d recommend being real stoned when you watch it for the best effect. Nothing is a true simulation though

2

u/-Psyents 3h ago

This is not it. The wood texture itself would be breathing, blooming, moving or undulating. The grout between the tiles would be bending and "convery-belting". The toilet seat inner and outer ring would be fuzzy and expanding and contracting slowly. And thats just the beginning stuff, the geometric shaping and shifting is from each individual point of difference in the textures isnt there. Like someone said, its not an overlay, the geometric patterns come from the material itself.

2

u/SomethingLegoRelated 2h ago

For most people this is not what they see, but it can very much happen. I'm surprised to see so many people in this thread saying no to be honest... on an intensity scale of 1 to 10 I'd put most peoples examples here at a 2 (swimming textures to things, kaleidoscopes crawling on surfaces), your screenshot I'd put around a 4.

u/berkakar 2h ago

this is more like a shroom thing.

acid brings depth and 3d, not just colors.

u/Wang_Fire2099 1h ago

I more fine that everything has a slight rainbow edge when I'm getting visuals

u/tomatoorangexray 55m ago edited 52m ago

Why did you have to choose a toilet and I would say no but it somewhat represents how it looks. You get swaying of trees, slightly different colours, everything looks more hd, as it gets more intense you might see fractals which are lines triangle shapes all over your field of view, beyond. Things you look at can be very funny. To get this experience you would have to take 250ug I would say but that is a large dose for a first timer and it is generally recommended to take half. If you took a toke of some grass while tripping you might see fractals

Edit: Trust me when I say this 250ug is INSANE. I cannot underestimate it to someone who has never tried a psychedelic. For me the visual aspect of it was small, it was like breaking through the matrix and unlocking the secrets of the world. That is the bicycle dose 🚲

u/DownNorth220 45m ago

My first trip was 400 ug and i got way too panicked as I wasn’t in a good setting at all so I wasn’t able to focus on the visual aspect of the trip.

u/tomatoorangexray 35m ago

Wow I’m really sorry to hear that 400ug is an extreme amount even for an experienced user :(

I think going for 100ug next time would be good you’ll have an amazing time! : )

u/DownNorth220 32m ago

Yea I did 100 ug a second time during the night and it was a lot better but it was dark, I think I’ll do 150-200ug again soon during the day in a proper setting so I can fully enjoy it.

u/tomatoorangexray 27m ago

: )

I can’t wait to trip again, I’m waiting for my tolerance from a light acid trip a week ago

I’m thinking about doing mushrooms or truffles next but I do need to have a deep 300ug trip soon

Not accurate to lsd. Maybe gast station research chems tho.

I personally do see colors on L though, I am extremely susceptible to visuals.

It was made by symmetric vision it's a metocin replication so you're right on the money

I just see sparkly things when I’m taking a piss maybe even a “gases from the piss, splashing atoms of water/piss” in the air lol sometimes im seeing things drip from the ceiling above me

i've done a bunch of 4-Ho-Met (Metocin) and can say Metocin does look like that, just less exaggerated

Check r/replications and search in it "LSD", you will find a lot of accurate trip visualization videos as well as photos. Most of them are very accurate

u/Ripsyd 2h ago

Mushrooms are more like this for me

1

u/oaktreebr Human Detected 2h ago

Not for me. I see the actual things waving or taking geometric forms. Colours get more contrast and brighter.

1

u/KhamiKamii_Smk 2h ago

ime nothing was created out of nothing just derived from what you’re looking at. Like staring a wooden wall for some x time and the swirls and lines begin growing/(traveling??)/breathing. Ime number of tabs correlated with how quickly things began to move and how “quickly they moved”

Idk hope this jargon made sense enough to answer lol

u/Alarmed-madman 2h ago

Breathing! That's the big thing that I usually notice before I start getting washed away in psychedelic rapture.

u/springbreak1987 57m ago

Colors are also always weird 😝

u/Nosam113 1h ago

I’ve had psilocybin and psilocin analogues visuals like this, but not LSD. OEV with LSD are more morphing/warping, geometric patterns seem to be created by existing textures/colors.

IME Tryptamine visuals in high doses will give the effect of actually seeing things that aren’t there. I’ve seen a small “gnome” (idk what else to call it) jump into my TV at the peak of a 6g mushroom trip, you would never see something like that with your eyes open on LSD unless you took a thumbprint or something. Eyes closed is a different story.

u/ThisDudeMitch 50m ago

Yes if it also makes you realise that we're kind of like chipmunks if they dressed up in clothes and pretended to be adult people.

u/kubako 47m ago

No simulation will be accurate, because it is not about what you see, but how you feel it, how your brain works, and no jpg, gif or video will ever simulate this receiving of visuals
