    That "vibration" around the objects you see (when you're on LSD) is just your eye-moving muscles begin to lose their strength, and start shaking like the muscles in your arm under load.

    • True? I always thought is was some kind of signal latency between observation and comprehensionGnash
    • I always figured it was the fracturing of the interpolating wetware, resonating against whatever interstitial stage there is between sense and conscious.Nairn
    • I’m with Nairn on this onesausages
    • Ya, sounds like nairn nailed itGnash
    • I have to rethink this theorysted
    • I don't know about vibration, but tracers(trails) on lsd are likely caused by conciousness slowing down so much that you become aware of the synapses popping/cherub
    • turning on and off, producing a strobe effect- thus the trails following moving objects.cherub
    • What we experience as fluid motion, on the cellular level isn't during that interval when info is passing from one brain cell to another over a synapse.cherub
    • They're always there, we can only see them under altered conscienceness.lemmy_k
    • I dunno, ever do 2-CB and see everything turn holographic? Or do DMT? I’m not convinced these aberrations are purely mechanical in naturescarabin
    • ah yeah on drugs not purely. easiest way to see this is just try to focus on an object for a few mins. you do the same thing on lsd just don't notice, whilested
    • the drug does its job and adjusts the communication between your senses and brain :)sted
    • tried DMT didn't took over as i expected, i think it wasn't a good time to try. but i love to experience this on lsd :)) 2-CB no, scared of the consequences.sted
    • 2-CB will feel familiar if you’ve ever done high doses of acid. It’s DMT that still scares me. The only thing that ever truly kicked my ass into pure humilityscarabin
    • Ever get “the eye wiggles” on MDMA? That’s pretty mechanicalscarabin
    • nah, but first time I saw it on my girl she made me dead laughsted
    • ^^Yes, I have. Nystagmus. Supposedly the eye check the cops do during a sobriety check can reveal nystagmus as you follow his pen.cherub
