There's a lot of legal substances you can hallucinate off of. I've personally never tried but Salvia is pretty popular where I live. I've also heard about these mushrooms that are red with white spots that are pretty messed up and nightshade. There's tonnes of other ones like Gravol, cough syrup, etc.

I haven't had any hallucinations except weird stuff in my peripherals, like it will look like a bird just flew by really fast or something.

Salvia is definitely illegal here.

You would say that. You have no clue what that emoticon just did to my vision.
The sine curve made of spectral fog under the text started changing... badly.



Cats... I've always had yellow/blue eyed cats. Green eyes make them creepy. I had a similar problem when I was little: my bad hallucinations make my good ones look weak.

One time, after going 48 hours without sleep. Honestly, every light in my room began turning into red eyes. What I usually do to check whether or not I'm hallucinating is to use some sort of arm gesture, and if the image shimmers, I'm hallucinating. Turns out that doesn't work in pitch blackness. Only a swirling colorful, colorless whirlwind dotted with red eyes, and I'm trying to sleep, and it's so horrible.

Another time, I had been hunting a cockroach in my room. I hallucinated that my nightstand was covered in bugs. Bugs that don't exist in this world. But one thing I am adamant about is that they do exist, in an abyss where no light touches. Pale, squirming, with myriad legs and antennae, flat, as if to crawl between rocks and climb into crevasses with greater ease. Some had mandibles, and were obviously vicious; others glowed a sickly green. I think that I believed that these bugs would probably live comfortably in Hell. I screamed for my parents, and they found the cockroach. It looked like they had seen the bugs, but when I asked them about it the next day, they said they hadn't.

GUYS, DON'T TALK ABOUT ANY CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES, PLEASE. SALVIA AND OTHERS HAVE DISPUTED LEGAL STATUS. HALLUCINATING ON COUGH SYRUP IS DANGEROUS. PROMISE ME YOU WON'T TALK ABOUT IT FROM NOW ON.

Sorry about the caps lock, but it needs to be noted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_Salvia_divinorum#United_States, so it's probably not appropriate to talk about it here. This thread has too much potential, don't get it locked.


I'll have to start using it more often :hubbahubba: .


:lmao: We should hang out, I have some friends that would love to meet you.

Really? I thought they were still in the debating process in the States. Big surprise its legal in Canada.

Is it not still legal federally? Because if it is then we should be able to at least mention it. It's not illegal all over the world too...

Absolutely, sometimes hunting roaches is like a scene out of The Thing, like you smash it with a shoe and the detached head keeps on moving and working, or it explodes in a right old mess. I'm not surprised about that one at all, we all have had that trauma.

Yeah. And I used to live in Florida, and I lived there when that happened. Think The Thing, plus Terminator, plus huge.

I've only ever seen two roaches in my life, one was dead on the sidewalk and one was in this plant at a mall. I had a panic attack :/

Now that I think about it I have a lot of dreams where they'll come out of the showerhead or from my bed.

Not where I live, go to any head shop and they sell it dirt cheap. That and Absinthe.

When I asked about a year ago the moderators didn't want me talking about Salvia, so I'd say thats out of the discussion.

I did start to hallucinate after 3 days of little sleep, little food and little water. That wasn't fun. I felt like I was on a boat when I was standing on normal ground, would hear voices and was generally tweaking out. I would not suggest it.

Yeah sometimes in the army it got like that after a few days in the field. (on exercises, we didn't have a war to go to thank goodness)

I had hallucinations once.


I has on march which was last part of our week long combat exercise. It was 0400 and we here crossing large lake, when I started to see trees on the ice.
And not long after I saw my platoon leader walking from direction which we where going and he said "How are you doing?"´, I said "I'm well" and moment later the
same lieutenant skies from behind and asks "Doing ok?". That point I noticed that the first time I saw him he had to be illusion since I was on the lead.

But yeah, after week without sleep and proper food you start see and hear funny things.

Another way you can distort your vision and make you "hallucinate" is by watching videos with optical illusions like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzSRVgF501M. It's very simple, and probably the safest way to do it since you don't deprive your body of anything, and it only lasts a minute or so. It's also probably the weakest sort of hallucination you can induce. It's pretty interesting though, in my opinion. It's fun watching your room as it waves and distorts around you.

woh, it works at work too! :wacko:

Well, until recently I thought my lack of sleep combined with my awesome level of stress was putting me on the edge and over, since I had started hearing this thumping noise in silent surroundings, but after consulting my witchdoctor, he told me it might be tinnitus from muscle tension. Scared me a bit first, 'tho, since I managed to go on without cracking for so long in adverse conditions. Good to know I'm not a hokerr.

I would laugh there is some sort of hallucination button in our brains, or a combination of short circuits to produce such a sensation. I mean they found one that controls a persons morals and they could affect it with magnets. Good choice going into psychology, get to tinker around in an interesting organ. Nice to see healthy levels of... many things. In this topic. Although not necessarily good. :read:

That worked longer than I expected. Ah, the forum moves!

Salvia will make you hallucinate yes, I don't know mucha bout Salvia and I've never tried it (Not available in Norway I think, though I've never bothered looking for it). The red mushrooms with white spots sound like flycaps (I think that's the english name) and they are poisonous and will kill you if you eat enough, stay away. Cough syrup can make you hallucinate, but it is addicting, make no mistake. So I really do advice against that as well.

Deprivation of food, sleep or water can kill you unless your carefull, and you will feel like complete [censored] anyway, so just don't do it.

In short, there's no completely safe way to make yourself hallucinate, I really don't recommend doing any of it. I've had fever hallucinations in the past, and they stick out as some of the worst experiences of my life.

Salvia Divinorum leaves/extract and certain kinds of Morning Glory (Ipomoea violacea), as well as rarer Hawaiian Baby Woodrose (Argyreia nervosa) and Rivea corymbosa, are the best and safest legal ways to lose one's mind virginity It's very sad that salvia is becoming illegal im more and more places without any bit of research to back it up, just fear mongering and moral panic, while hundreds of thousands of people use and have used it with no adverse effects. Mazatec indians used Salvia in their rituals, though they did not smoke it, but put plant material under their tongue for a milder and longer lasting effect. I can testify for anyone considering salvia (of course only if it's legal where you live, it's still federally unscheduled in the US), that be prepared for what you cannot be prepared. It throws you straight in the deep end, your reality will be shattered within seconds if you are smoking it. It's something that stays with you your whole life

Morning glory and Rivea corymbosa have been used by many indigenous peoples in latin america for many centuries if not millenia. They contain LSA, a substance chemically almost identical to LSD, though it doesn't usually produce open eye visuals (closed eye visuals are amazing though). An experience from these seeds will last up to 10 hours

There is also the Fly Agaric, or Amanita muscaria. Most people think it's a deadly mushroom, but you know what they say, most people are idiots . If prepared right and treated with heat which turns the toxic (not deadly) ibotenic acid into the psychoactive muscimole, it's pretty harmless (naturally if you don't eat a bag of it). Tribes throughout Siberia have been using Amanita muscaria in shamanic rituals for ages, and Gordon Wasson even suggested that this mushroom is the fabled "Soma" plant.

There are other completely legal psychoactive substances but they are usually dangerous and even deadly so I won't list them here. Just a word of caution, stay away from deliriants. These include all species of Datura, Atropa belladonna, Mandrake and Henbane, and any other Solanaceae plants that contain Atropine, Scopolamine and Hyoscyamine. Not only are those experiences very uncomfortable (horrible) for the majority of people, they are complete delirium and separation from reality, while still maintaining motor control. Which means you might be walking down a highway under the influence but you think you're actually taking a stroll along the beach. On top of that they are impossible to dose and very toxic. Seriously, just don't, a google or youtube search will result in countless news articles of teenagers dying from these plants, especially Datura. The indigenous amazonians don't call it yerba del diablo for nothing.

There is no completely safe way to do most things in life, from driving a car to climbing a mountain to swimming in the sea, which is not a reason why not to do it. Informed and responsible use of 5-HT psychedelics and salvia involves truly minimal risk, I find it more dangerous getting drunk on a night out than smoking salvia or eating 300 morning glory seeds. I have been doing so occasionally for the last 4 years and never regretted it once, and am now near finishing college, not some loser stoner dropout . There is absolutely no scientific proof that the said substances are in any way damaging to the health, nor are they addictive.

Also, for the sake of this forum and for the record, don't break the law. There are few, but good, ways to experience these things completely legally for anyone who wants to. The most important thing is information. Read and read and read about these things, or don't try them at all. Most people who do stupid things do so because they are ill informed, their stupidity gets in the media and they ruin it for the rest of us. Drinking 2-3 pints of beer won't kill you. Drinking a bottle of vodka might.

I definitely see the world in a different light since my untimely encounter with not-living. But it's hard to explain exactly what I now see. Especially because it's been over a decade and I remember less and less the nuances from before.. but I can distinctly remember noticing it the first time after I woke up again.. Like people said, it was all happening in my periferal vision. Disassociated shadows and shapes, and in my direct vision -straight in front of me, I don't see things that aren't there, but I see more of what is there.. if that makes any sense. colours more viberant, or just vibrating.. and vapour trails on occasion, which is mostly when I'm tired.

when living life through my eyeballs, who needs drugs :shrug:





_{I see Acky}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
^{Acky sees bossman too}

I saw parents and children walking in the street once at 5am. And furniture in the house turned into spiders.

I have hypnagogic hallucinations fairly often. That's when you're in the process of falling asleep and yet are still awake enough to see. The mind is cloudy enough to see some really cool things.

This happens to me especially when I'm listening to music and drifting off. One of the cooler hallucinations I've had in this way was listening to this very happy song I saw complete blackness and then this tube shooting little colorful particles out of it. Each particle corresponded with a note in the song which was odd. The best part of this was that at that time, my brain completely registered that I was watching a universe be created. In that half-awake state, I was positive that I had just discovered the secret of the universe!

If that counts as a hallucination, then I hallucinate pretty whenever I'm rather tired. Stuff (especially text in the book I'm usually reading) seeming to get bigger or smaller, moving things leaving after-images, and in dim light things tend to shimmer, as though I'm seeing them through a heat-haze.

Of course, sometimes when I wake up suddenly from a dream then things from the dream carry over. Like once I had a nightmare featuring spiders, and when I woke up I thought I saw one crawling on my arm. I tore the bed apart (not literally, of course) looking for it.


Tell me, does you classroom have a projector?

Never halluconated or had had a lucid dream in all my life. [censored] boring.
