Whoa, colors!

I'm surprised that I hadn't seen this type of research or scan before now. It's hard to believe it hasn't been done. Perhaps I just missed it.

Interesting and colorful.

Check out this LSD simulator on Youtube. It's a very short video that confuses your perception. Watch the vid then when instructed, look away into your room and experience the "high."

"However, when the volunteers took LSD, many additional brain areas -- not just the visual cortex -- contributed to visual processing."

That certainly explains the phenomenon of smelling and tasting the colors, seeing sounds, etc.

I once read that the inventor of LSD took the drug and thought that he was literally insane. It scared him so much that he never took it again.

When I was 18, I experimented with drugs, tried most (at that point heroin was restricted to the people who lived in dumpsters, and I recognized that as a poor career choice, so never tried). Of the ones I did try, LSD was fantastic. I did it two times, found an inner and outer connectedness, stayed Republican, and moved on, to the point I barely drink.

If you must use a drug, and can survive 12 hours speaking only in words starting with the letter ‘z” without sacrificing your carreer or family, it is a fun choice.
