HPPD from mushrooms?

2 posts in this topic

Six years ago I experimented with Psilocybin mushrooms several times. On one occasion I made the decision to mix an eighth of Psilocybe cubensis with a medical indica strain of cannabis from Colorado. That particular strain of weed was extremely powerful in and of itself, borderline psychedelic in even moderate doses. 

The trip was very intense and I felt what Leo calls Infinite Love from the Universe. I way laying outside under the full moon on a clear night and felt the most insane love and connection to the cosmos. It was very cosmic and gentle. 

After I came down, I noticed my vision was permanently affected. It looks like I’m on a very mild dose of shrooms all the time, especially if I stare at a wall or object. Things morph, shift and breathe just like on shrooms. 

At at first I was very disturbed by this. I dissociated and felt severe depersonalization. After several months, however, I adapted to it and now I really don’t mind it. 

I guess a question I have is, is this a “disorder” or simply seeing reality as it is? As a non-physical existence?

Seems like a positive to me. The "hallucinations" on shrooms are no less real than the hallucination of life itself. I had a mushroom experience last week and thats the message the shrooms gave me. 

You always have been in a non-physical existence. Your anxiety is the problem, just accept it for what it is and think of it as a superpower the ancient medicine gave you.
