What are psychedelic effects?

Have you ever listened to trippy psychedelic music or enjoyed looking at distorted color-shifting art from the '60s and '70s? If you have, you probably have some idea of what a psychedelic effect is. 

Simply put, it is hallucinations brought on by either mental illness or psychedelic drugs. Numerous drugs can induce these hallucinations, but the most common ones include LSD, magic mushrooms (Psilocybin), amphetamines, and mescaline.   

Psychedelic effects can differ from person to person, but usually, you can expect some state of altered consciousness, mood, or perception. This shift can be in the form of physical distortions or hallucinations, hearing, seeing, feeling, or tasting things that are not really there.

As your serotonin receptors are triggered, you experience a shift in the physical world around you. Things alter right before your eyes, colors start dancing, and lights start flickering; you may even find yourself experiencing multiple feelings all at once.

Is weed a psychedelic?

A substance or chemical that can change or shift your perception of things is known as a psychedelic. Under this definition, is marijuana a psychedelic? Technically it's not considered a psychedelic, though weed can provide psychedelic experiences. 

Many people believe in psychedelic weed, or at least wonder if weed is psychedelic. Still, these effects are near impossible to track down scientifically, and almost no documentation exists to support this at the moment. 

Some adventurous and experienced stoners believe that trippy/psychedelic strains do exist. Even though stoner stereotypes may differ, trippy weed is not that common, and psychedelic marijuana effects are not as pronounced as those from narcotics.  

Can weed make you hallucinate? 

Technically the answer is no, but theoretically, it's a yes. True hallucinogenic substances seem to alter your physical surroundings. In contrast, hallucinogenic marijuana shifts your state of mind to the point of perceiving unreal things as real.

Some psychedelic weed strains are considered mildly hallucinogenic. Strains with high levels of THC have the potential of causing intense experiences that alter the senses. Most psychedelic weed strains have a unique combination of high THC concentrations, psychoactive compounds, and terpenes to trigger that psychedelic trippy feeling.

A psychedelic weed trippy compared to LSD is no less valid a psychedelic sensation, but it is fundamentally different. The chemical combinations form a synergy that can deliver a truly mind-blowing high.

Hallucinogenic weed can put your senses into overdrive. As you pass through the stages of being high, here are some of the symptoms you might recognize if you've ever been on a trippy marijuana ride.

  • Your perception of time and space shifts. You perceive the clock as slowing down and even stopping completely.
  • Pupil dilation and pressure around the eyes will have you seeing images as distorted, with vivid colors. Triggered receptors can even have you seeing things that are not really there.
  • You might experience a feeling of detachment from your environment or self.
  • As the auditory nerve can be affected, sounds may seem amplified.
  • A heavy couch-lock feeling can occur as your motor skills slow down.

Weed strains that make you hallucinate can make for a trippy ride but be responsible about dosing. Feelings of mild anxiety and paranoia are known to occur. Avoid these adverse effects by minimizing consumption or using only small to medium doses; also, consider carefully some of the things to do while high to make sure you're ready for a pleasurable trippy ride.

How to achieve the best psychedelic effects

Most psychedelic weed strains have high THC levels, so begin with smaller doses to achieve the sublime psychedelic experience. The strains mentioned—Amnesia Lemon, Do-si-dos, Lemon tree, LSD, Tahoe Kush, and Rainbow Gum—alter the senses and produce an uplifting and energizing high, followed by relaxation. 

Though these are some trippy weeds, they’re also capable medicinal strains that alleviate chronic pain, stress, and depression.

Increasing the dosage will intensify the effects as more cannabinoids and terpene get absorbed. People with high THC tolerance will particularly enjoy the trippy hallucinogenic-like effects. Newbies and low tolerance users should be careful as high THC levels might cause slight dizziness, paranoia, and anxiety.

It's important to remember that though cannabis can affect your sensory system, it cannot induce full-blown hallucinations. These psychedelic weed strains can take you on a potent trippy ride, check your dosage and be aware of how much weed is too much.
