I imagine most people here have experimented with psychedelics. . .

Despite shrooms being literally unlimited in supply around my part of Texas, I had never tried them until early Sunday morning. From what I gather, they were pretty potent compared to normal. Somewhere around 4am, I ate around an 1/8th of them. I had already had around 8 beers at this point and at least 10 shots, whether in mix dranks or just rounds with other people.

When they kicked in, the trip was intense as fuck for around 3 hours, but nonetheless, it was very fucking awesome and literally mystical, despite the fact that I was drunk out of my mind. I was pounding 7 and 7 mix drinks and beers the entire time of the peak, and I'm not really a smoker but I managed to chain smoke around 17 cigarettes. I couldn't really even tell I was drunk while tripping, but the cigarettes seemed to amp me up. I finally started coming down around 8 am, slept a little while, went to my office, I think I even posted on Skatz. I was still slightly tripping around 1 or 2ish and still drunk. By my best estimates, I had around 12 beers and 20ish shots of liquor total.

The trip is not what's important. The next day I really started to notice that my vision had been affected. Everything seemed brighter, more vivid, and just all around more beautiful with no loss in vision acuity, but there was a much more noticeable sensitivity to light. This was the case Tuesday as well for the most part, but the vividness of everything seemed to be fading and while driving at night things seemed really strange. Yesterday the vividness was almost completely gone, but I started to notice annoying afterimages when looking at anything bright in both eyes, especially out of my peripherals. Today, my right eye seems to be back to normal, but my left is still annoying the fuck out of me. When I look as far as I can to one side, I can see what is pretty much a blue, transparent circle in my vision.

I did a little research, and apparently this is common, but only common among people that regularly abuse lsd, shrooms, etc.

The symptoms are very similar to Palinopsia, but I just thought it was really strange that this seems to change day to day. I should point out that I don't feel entirely normal either, and that my senses all seem to be somewhat scrambled, just very slightly at times that it is noticeable though. I'm sure the massive dose of alcohol and nicotine didn't help things.

I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar? I understand that I shouldn't be concerned until a week or so after.
