He began talking about how nowadays, when he's looking at something, the colors are more vivid than they used to be.

As I looked around, I somewhat noticed the same thing. It could just be a placebo, but I feel like things seem a bit brighter sometimes (especially if on a different drug like thc), brighter than the norm.

What about you guys?

It's like they're just more vivid now or .. noticeable.

IMO psychedelics do not open "doors" or "make you open your perception" but rather short circuit your thought patterns for a few hours. Despite that, I enjoy psychedelics.

I do notice things are different, but I think it stems from the brain temporarily being "fried" and starts to analyze things differently after being tampered with for a bit

At times, generally when really high, I can recall some aspects of dose, especially slightly moving tree limbs. Searching through my posts says this.

Looking at that, it would seem I have HPPD.

In general, things seem shinier than usual, and woodgrain can get really interesting to look at sometimes.

Hmm. I'd hate to overdiagnose myself, though. Based on your flashback post, however that's uncannily familiar to what I experience on the daily.

Like most disorders, HPPD is only diagnosed when it causes problems in your life:

B. The symptoms in Criterion A cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

---

That aside, it's possible that you have what is essentially a very mild form of HPPD. Try and see if the symptoms decrease after a longer period of abstinence on psychedelics; a lot of people find that these types of flashbacks are only prominent for a little while after using/ after using heavily for a period of time.
