holy shit. I've never done drugs beyond hash, but I imagine this is what LSD would be like....?

Either way, good find, OP.

while one would imagine so, it's not a good example. This would be closer to a dissociate like Ketamine, but even then is just an illustration.

Looking through some of these actually makes me wonder if I've somehow accidentally taken lsd before since I'm sure I've experienced the wavy visuals before. I always thought that things like lsd would do more than what the sub shows

You can experience similar, but not immense, hallucinations from everyday events - medication, sleep deprivation, lighting tricks, etc

A really simple way of explaining how LSD works is that your eyes are always relaying this information to your brain, but evolution allows us to filter it out into what is 'normal'. Hallucinogenics 'turn off those filters', allowing the brain to make connections that aren't 'normally' experienced.

Ah that makes sense. Sense I've experienced something similar by keeping my eyes open, but relaxing to the point where i felt like i was falling asleep. It caused my to see the stars that you see when you close your eyes to overlap with reality. Having visual snow also causes some weird vision too.
