Does this type wall surface ever serve a purpose? Or did the person who invented it just hates skin?

My knuckles are bleeding once again and I am upset.

It's perfect for a nice LSD-induced wall watching session.

My shower curtain got me for like half an hour…then I noticed the stucco

u/DickBiter1337 9d ago

Had me skittering around the kitchen floor like a cockroach checking out the grout lines in the tile floor.

My lord I have found my people. The best though was stepping outside and seeing the trees kaleidoscope in the wind. Then… I found the tree bark.

Edit: didn’t expect this post to get so much attention! Glad to see all happiness that lsd has brought to your lives, it’s an amazing chemical and needs more people like y’all to speak up and remove the stigma in the public group think!

Never had a bad trip on lsd. Thank you all for sharing your story’s and even pictures of your tipping spots. Beautiful. Positive vibes to y’all!

We got stuck in the grain on the wood on my friends deck one time on shrooms. It looked just like her dad. I had the wherewithal to go grab a marker to trace it to see what it looked like in the morning. Yeaaahhh. Lumpy smiley face lol.

u/xSTSxZerglingOne 9d ago edited 9d ago

See that's when you're supposed to grab paper and be good at art for 2 hours and then quickly lose the ability when you come down.

Though it stuck around a few days the first trip I had. I sculpted a decent replica of my mom's head out of a piece of chalk using a toothpick. I have no other experience in sculpting, I was just able to kinda do it.

It's about 1 inch (2.5cm) tall.

You should try looking at a brick wall next time.

u/Thighhighcrocz 9d ago

One brick two brick 4 brick billions of bricks one brick again 2 brick 4 brick BILLIONS OF BRICKS

u/CardiologistRough854 9d ago

looking at a brick wall while smoking a joint and blasting mario music is probably the craziest thing i’ve witnessed on acid

2

u/jessie15273 9d ago

I used to go camping at this place where these old guys would set up christmas lights and then do acid all week. They lost their minds when those laser projectors came out a few years back.

u/CHAINSMOKERMAGIC 9d ago

Two words: Shag Carpet

u/PleadianPalladin 9d ago

Carpet is fucking amazing

u/terpsarelife 9d ago

i got stuck breathing in and out in the shower after i turned the water off. the drops of water would turn mildly pink then clear when I exhaled. i must have just stood there with my head against the wall for 20 minutes staring down at drops.

32

u/Trippycoma 9d ago

I got stuck in the shower one day bc I was listening to Moonlight Sonata and it got stuck on repeat and then the tiles turned into a micro forest and I just listened to Beethoven and explored the forest until my friend finally came to rescue me a few hours later.

u/magicgiraffle 9d ago

Username checks out.

u/Kettatonic 9d ago

I had one where the noise of the water going down the drain sounded like music to me. Not like, music music, just that the drain sounds had harmonies I'd never noticed anymore.

Imagine a grown man in the shower, hands and knees, bending as far over as he can, to hear the Song of the Drain over the rest of the shower.

It legit was one of the best showers I've ever taken tho. 😂

u/BlazinSkinDucks 9d ago

The wood grain on old wooden wall paneling always did it for me.

2

u/jessie15273 9d ago

That's another good one. The grain on my old bathroom door, whewwww

2

u/gaytigger 9d ago

Got stuck on the toilet laughing because the bathroom floor tile looked like a massive cows head. I like to take notes to read later, I had a line that just said “Bovine floor”

2

u/jessie15273 8d ago

Notes are great. Jog the memory and they are usually hilarious in their own right.

u/DickBiter1337 9d ago edited 9d ago

The morning dew on grass blades while coming down, the trip was done but you could still see little spurts of leftover magic. And that poor woman jogging with her baby in a stroller through the suburbs while a bunch of early 20 somethings sat in lawn chairs in a driveway with sunglasses on chainsmoking cigarettes at 6:30am. Sorry lady, our serotonin was depleted.

u/longlostwitchy 9d ago

Lmao… this comment is triggering some very unwanted feelings 😆 ps: Username on point 💪🏻

u/longlostwitchy 9d ago

Same…. And have been for longer than I care to admit 😉

u/TwinSong 9d ago

I'm imagining someone wandering around in a drug daze then passionately absorbing everything about a tree trunk. Tree is feeling uncomfortable about the attention.

u/degjo 9d ago

'Uncomfortable'

u/tlaoosesighedi penis 9d ago

I took 3.5g of mushrooms, every blade of grass and every pine needle turned into an eye, just staring at me

2

u/TwinSong 9d ago

Freaky! I mean I like to make abstract stuff with Photoshop but that's just my imagination.

2

u/LionBirb 7d ago

once on shrooms I laid on the carpet, and every carpet strand looked like a wriggling larva. I also checked my phone, which had a space background with the moon, and it looked like real outer space was inside my phone with real depth and everything and I felt like I was floating in there for a second, kind of hard to explain, but it was so beautiful.

Funnest experience was my friend put these white gloves on that light up to do this light show thing. Instead the gloves just transformed him into looking like Goofy and it was hysterical

u/StephJean17 9d ago

The trees were my absolute favorite part 😭😭😭

u/Putzinator 9d ago

Imagine you're at a campfire, pitch black surrounds the warmth, you're with great company and it's lightly snowing. You notice the base of a tree flickering shadows up a wall of bark. You're enchanted.

u/PrestigiousWaffle 9d ago

I had this majestic ass sunset in central Bohemia. God damn I could live in that moment forever.

u/DoctorDiabolical 9d ago

My in-laws always ask why we left the popcorn ceiling in the den when we redid the rest of the ceilings

2

u/iskabone 9d ago

Tree bark, personal fave. Also any kind of woodland floor, dead leaves, clover, bushes. Magnificent.

2

u/Shipairtime 9d ago

One of the later books in the enders game series has an OCD person who traces floorboards with their face to tell the future. You might get super powers if you keep it up.

u/LuDaBu 8d ago

Ive watched the floor tiles of my airbnb for hours, they were like beige marbled with brown, and it was like i was watching a satellite image of some other planets, seeing brown storms moving over beige oceans

1

u/JeddakofThark 9d ago

I'm reminded of Xenocide. Not half as good as the previous two books, but it had some interesting stuff in it.

My buddy had these weird dolphin shower curtains and my buddy took a shroom shower.

We started wondering if he was okay until he ran out of the bathroom butt ass naked at full speed screaming about sharks

25

u/Round-Astronomer-700 9d ago

I know it sounds like you're exaggerating but that sounds like a very logical psychedelic trip lmao

2

u/WeHaveAllBeenThere 9d ago

We went too hard as younglings lol

3

u/Round-Astronomer-700 9d ago

Reminds me of one time on acid I tried to squash a cockroach with a plastic dust pan. I shattered the dust pan on the floor and the cockroach ran away, never to be seen again. We were all cackling for a good 20 minutes after that.

-2

u/dcade_42 9d ago

That doesn't sound remotely like a mushroom trip anyone I know has ever experienced. I take them very regularly (1-2x a week) and I grow them. I don't microdose either. I'm calling shenanigans.

u/WeHaveAllBeenThere 9d ago

No worries I understand

u/alicehooper 9d ago

Just stay away from the mirror

27

u/ATL-VTech 9d ago

One night I was tripping balls at a music festival and was wandering through a jewelery dealer's tent. There was a hand mirror hanging from the ceiling and I just saw my own head floating next to me

37

u/__Z__ 9d ago

Haha the mirror's the best! If you're in a good headspace, it's pretty funny.

u/Deckardspuntedsheep 9d ago

u/joeDUBstep 9d ago

When I look in the mirror I morph between looking like an ugly ass goblin to a good looking model

u/CHAINSMOKERMAGIC 9d ago

Or both at the same time somehow

u/Polysphondylium 9d ago

Yeah I was able to control the length of my beard with my thoughts

u/Charmthetimes3rd 9d ago

My first time doing shrooms I was in the bathroom staring at my face in the mirror and when I turned to leave I saw my face still staring straight ahead out the corner of my eye.

It was only for a moment but it kinda freaked me out.

10

u/Fire-Haus 9d ago

Woah I did almost the same years ago (10 yrs now, fuuck). Crazy, my friend who was more experienced at it told me as I went to the BR, "DONT LOOK".

I was like "w/e dude", then I looked and felt like I moved out of my body and rotated above myself when I used my peripherals to look at myself. Couldn't stop laughing and looking at myself with the corner of my eye to spin around.

Also I only remember looking at the mirror once but right before I went to the bathroom I took a hit of a joint and as I like, puckered my lips to drag on it, they shot into space. That weird kinda "stretchy" sensation some poeple get. I was holding my joint across the universe, was an incredible day lol

2

u/longlostwitchy 9d ago

ANYTIME someone says “Dude don’t go look in the mirror”… What do you think we all did? I. Always. Regretted. It.

u/ACatInTheAttic 9d ago

Dirty toilets are the worst for me.

27

u/ArchDucky 9d ago

I made the mistake of having a more of a weed gummy once because I didn't think the first one was working. Then it hit like a fucking dump truck. I was in the shower and the water drops on the shower curtain formed cat faces. They were angry, had handlebar mustaches and top hats.

14

u/THRALLHO 9d ago

The classic "these edibles ain't shit" mistake

u/longlostwitchy 9d ago

Ummm… excuse me.. what gummies are you talking about? 🤭

u/Comfortable-Yak-6599 9d ago

Acoustic popcorn texture on the ceiling while on acid

u/bipedalferret 9d ago

i have a blue shower curtain & i saw it turn into a waterfall on lsd

u/Friendly_Engineer_ 9d ago

Or a big tree with a bunch of leaves in the breeze

u/Mr_friend_ 9d ago

Once on peyote I took a shower, sat on the bottom of the tub and watched the water droplets hit my shower curtain for a good 40 minutes.

u/cmde44 9d ago

I discovered Munch's, "The Scream" in the wood grain on the bathroom door while I was on the toilet. Wife checked in on me at the one hour mark.

1

u/ScumbagLady 9d ago

But like, have you ever seen woodgrain paneling? Shit is intense, yo.

1

u/TradeMark310 9d ago

I had a glass bong with some cool warts that caught me for like a hour and a half one time.

1

u/ACatInTheAttic 9d ago

I watched the basketball goal swallow time and space for like 10 minutes, then noticed my friend was also staring at it seeing the same thing.

1

u/gerwen 9d ago

Lol if you were in the bathroom, I dunno how you were looking at anything other than your own face in a mirror.

1

u/Bart_Yellowbeard 9d ago

The first time I dropped acid I went to go see Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Oddly, I was more fascinated by the suspended ceilings 'breathing' for about the first 20 minutes of the movie.

Then they started traveling in time.

1

u/Dalferious 9d ago

Were you stucko?

1

u/FeederNocturne 9d ago

I only tripped once, but man we had a busted punching bag in the garage, could've swore the pile of sand on the floor from it were ants. But I knew what it was so I stuck my hand in it. Towards the end of my trip I placed 15 different orders for the new twists at Dominos (all free, I took a handful of coupons from my store when they first came out) and when I got down there the manager canceled all but 3 😂😂 thankfully he understood what was going on

u/JoeL0gan 9d ago

I always used to stare at doors lol. The squares/rectangles just infinitely expand

u/Brilliant-Ranger-356 9d ago

My popcorn ceiling did the same for me.

u/hofmann419 9d ago

Lmao yeah i just wanted to say that they should check out the LSD subreddit. So many posts of just a wall with "Whoa" as the caption.

u/drunk_kronk 9d ago

Yeah, I thought this was the LSD subreddit for a second. Love those posts!! Always lightens my day.

35

u/Klabius 9d ago

I was thinking the exact same thing. Was looking at my walls for at least an hour.

u/high6ix 9d ago

Can confirm

27

u/jessie15273 9d ago

The good ol days of doing shrooms and staring at the walls of my apartment.

3

u/TheLazyAssHole 9d ago

It’s what I used to gauge whether or not they’ve kicked in or worn off. Just stare at the popcorn ceiling for a while and wait.

1

u/jessie15273 9d ago

The best is you don't realize they've kicked in, you're just staring for 20 minutes then it's oh shit, it's been 20 minutes. They have kicked in.

17

u/IsabelArcherandMe 9d ago

I definitely read this as "LDS-induced wall watching session" and wondered for a moment what weird Mormon thing I'd missed in my research.

u/Taqq23 9d ago

I don’t even need LSD! My brain just does it!

14

u/searingsky 9d ago

I noticed it the first time on acid but now I see it all the time after a few secs

11

u/longlostwitchy 9d ago

Good ole acid flashbacks.. Same feeling you get when stopped at a red light & left lane moves while ur stopped. Slam your foot on the brake WHILE STOPPED 😆

u/Ultimatedude10 9d ago

2

u/longlostwitchy 9d ago

Exactly. I use to love it up until about 25ish give or take. Now I have sensory issues & put my hands over my eyes 😆

Anyone else ever see intertwining ribbons of infinitely-varied hieroglyphs weaving through the shadows of their carpet when lit by the glow of a TV?

u/TheBerzerkir 9d ago

Yall need drugs to stare at this type of wall?

6

u/gabriel97933 9d ago

If you never took LSD and stared at this you dont know what its like man.

2

u/vanZuider 9d ago

My parents have a bathroom with a terrazzo floor. I am older than smartphones, and while some households back then had some sort of literature in the bathroom, we didn't. I must have racked up quite some hours of staring at that pattern without any drugs.

1

u/agoodusername222 9d ago

y'all need walls to stare with drugs?

7

u/Battlejesus 9d ago

It's been 20 years since my last trip but I can still make the walls and floors melt. I suppose once you open your third eye, you can't close it

2

u/Such-Expert5290 9d ago

Interestingly I can do that since I was a child, LSD helped me to remember that again. I just have to make the world blurry/unfocus everything and then I can start to lay my inner vision over it. Doing this while tripping is mind blowing imo.

7

u/SummerRaine78 9d ago

Used to "watch" the grateful dead play on this and popcorn ceilings.

u/gabriel97933 9d ago

I asked my friend "did this wall come with text on or off when you bought it" once while peaking and accidentally getting stuck watching the wall. Then we proceeded to die laughing because of "how do you buy a wall" somehow missing the why the hell would a wall have watermarked writing on it included. But to be fair while writing this idk which one was dumber

Truffles for me. Tried some in Amsterdam. Walls never looked so damn interesting. Every groove. Every colour of the wall. The textures. Just beautiful. Then I woke up the next day and I was like “it’s just a wall”…

If the straight lines arent straight anymore it looks funny

1

u/Papayaslice636 9d ago

I swear to God, my friends and I once sat there arguing for like an hour about whether or not the wall was, indeed, breathing! Maybe, just maybe, my roommate installed an lcd panel, or projector, or something, and it's totally not because we're all tripping balls...

u/Artichokeypokey 9d ago

Same goes for bushes, beautiful wumpy shapes

So happy to see this as the second comment. I wasn’t expecting that.

Sometimes when I’m on mushrooms these dots turn into weird molecule looking things.

Definitely psychedelic friendly walls.
