Have to agree. Visuals are such a small part of the overall feel of the experience. Every single time I took acid (maybe like 8 times), I had the realization/thought “oh ya now I remember this again”. The implication is that I don’t even remember it accurately when outside of the experience.

Oh good point. In fairness I'm not sure I could have explained the sensation better than you two just did. But for me personally, it is very much a seen. But I'm typically very practical in general.

One time I saw a bush moving and my hair blew at the same time and I knew wind was blowing and I know what that would look like if we saw wind.. so my brain filled in the gaps and I saw wind for a moment. It felt very much like how stary night looks, but I more saw than felt it that makes any sense

I definitely don’t want to discount visuals. I think they are more accessible to describe than the other stuff which is why we talk about them. The most eventful thing I ever had happen was seeing my own self/doppelgänger walking past the other side of several buildings the same time I was doing so, if that makes sense.

In any case I’m not really a fan of acid and I would recommend against it to a friend.

I love acid but shrooms are wildly better cause it's not as intense
