Has anyone who is blind from birth ever tried psychedelics like lsd/psilocybin? (self.Blind)
submitted by Hipnotize_nl
I was just wondering if anyone who is blind since birth has tried psychedelics and has experienced wierd sensations which could be interpreted as visuals? Any experiences on the topic would be apreciated.

I'm blind and I take psychedelics, and I see no visuals because I've never had the concept of sight.

Not blind from birth, and not totally blind, but I’d like to. My dreams are in full color and clear.

even though I can see light in 1 eye, I've never had any meaningful visual experiences whilst under the influence of anything. I've had some pretty weird feelings, particularly in my hands and arms, and my sense of balance and coordination has taken a dive. ...
Also textures have really changed. I was surprised at how much stronger the feelings of touching certain things were enhanced. Simple things - rain, cobblestones, seawater etc which I quite like the feel of normally but which was taken to a new sensory level after dropping some.
But no to the visual. I've never had any useful vision to begin with, so perhaps that explains it.
