Yes. It's a side effect you weren't ready for.

I don't really get negative side effects with psychedelics, I think that's why I like them so much. If I do coke, speed, Es, even booze, I always feel sh*tty for a few days afterwards, but with shrooms, acid, mescaline, I feel fantastic the next day, a bit spaced out and unsociable, sure, but full of life and imagination and everything looks more beautiful.

I have read stories of flashbacks (people suddenly reliving part of a trip) which sound quite dangerous, but I've never experienced that or know anyone who has. The worst thing that can happen, as you said, is a bad trip; everybody gets those eventually, and they're truly terrifying, but they end up being the best trips. The calm after the storm is ineffable.

Never had anything like that just felt tired.

Agree with pretty much all of that, I've heard about flashbacks and can confirm it hasn't happened to me. I've used them about five or six times btw.

Haha. It really is hard. I've had trips go bad from laughing too much. Lack of oxygen I reckon. It's hard to breathe when you can't stop laughing.

Aren't flashbacks an LSD thing? I've had a couple and I think it has to do with the way you position your neck. I was studying listening to You Shouldn't Do That by Hawkwind when I got my first one and I warbled and had an out of body experience for a minute. Everything had that bubbly acid look too.

Not sure. I'm done a lot of acid, never had a flashback.

Were you tripping when you had the flashback? That neck position theory sounds like the kind of thing a person would think when they're tripping. A friend of mine, while tripping, had to tilt his head to the left otherwise the floor would go all mosaic and shifty. Haha.

I was sober during both incidents. I figured it was neck position because both times I was looking downward with my neck at an angle because that was the only similarity between the two.

Science.

Interesting. I honestly thought flashbacks were a myth and scare story. I guess not. How long did they last? As you experienced them, were you aware in any way what was going on around you, or were you reliving the past completely?

I didn't really experience the past in any way, I was just in the present suddenly feeling like I was on LSD when I hadn't taken it in months.
