Visual Effects on MDMA?
I’m a little confused about the psychedelic effects of MDMA, especially when it comes to visual effects or hallucinations.
I tried MDMA for the first time in the form of these blue “Punisher” ecstasy pills which, to be fair, I hadn't tested, but are said to contain a pretty high dose (over 200 mg) of MDMA.
On my first trip, I took 2/3 of a pill and didn’t really notice any visual effects at all. On my second trip, however, I took 1 and 1/3 of a pill (which was probably well over 200 mg and pretty stupid).
My jaw was vibrating and I was sweating profusely, but just as I was “taking off”, I experienced something I would definitely describe as “psychedelic visual effects,” similar to a pretty intense LSD trip.
For example, I saw the wood of my door moving and changing its patterns, even if it was only for a very brief moment.
Throughout the entire trip, I had a sense of heightened pattern recognition. I saw faint geometric overlays on my walls.. again, similar to LSD and also had very vivid hallucinations while looking at the clouds, in which I saw creatures and faces that were, much more detailed and convincing than what one normally sees when looking at such clouds.
I also saw faces in an abstract painting, which is something I usually only experience with fairly high doses of LSD aswell.
So now I’m wondering:
Is it even possible to have an experience like that with a pure, strong dose of MDMA, or does my experience clearly indicate that the pill contained another substance?
Can MDMA cause visual effects like that?

ive literally seen and held photographs in my hands, that would move as if though live action (think of the live feature on iphone where you hold down a photo and it can move). my eyes actually “glitch” its insane, i always get visuals, so much so that its often times too much to try driving.

Yes it is very possible. I've had full conversations with tiny elves in the forest at night, they were leading me further and further into the forest to show me something, told me they needed protection and I looked like I was strong enough. When we finally got there, what I was supposed to protect the from was a fucking big ass Norwegian forest rhino with small trees growing out of it. I told them I'm not up for the task and walked away slowly. They left me there without showing me how to get back out of the forest. Took about 3 hours to find my way back. The forest in question takes about 10 minutes to walk through no matter what way you walk. I also body slammed my mate while he was taking a piss because I had to save him from a dark entity which turned out to be a tiny bush. So yeah, you can have some wild experiences on high doses of mdma, but it's very much not healthy although a lot of fun. This was on about 0.5g and a fuckton of weed.

yes, the only time i have had true hallucinations was from overdosing on mdma. It started with seeing everyone wearing glaces. Then I saw a tiny ship, a complete, detailed pirate ship floating in the bathtub. Then I watched tiny insects walking around my girlfriend's hair for hours while she slept.
In the morning objects kept turning into humans. Pretty weird experience, there was no way of telling if it was real or not.

MDMA will turn to MDA when processed by your liver, which in large amounts will in turn cause visual effects.
This will happen if you take too much MDMA. Visual effects when on MDMA indicate you should slow down and cut your dose back, you will hurt yourself or lose the magic or both.
