Doing hallucinogens can open your mind to seeing the innerworkings of your body. Literally. It reduces filters in your brain and makes you see things that you learned to ignore as a baby. Like when it's dark and you can see rainbows—that's the residual static signal from all of the cone cells in your eyes. You can see the rainbows during the day if you know what to look for, but it's more pronounced after doing psychedelics.

Also while doing psychedelics it's common to see form constants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_constant



These are geometric patterns hypothesized to be caused by the specific shape and neural connections within the retina and visual cortex. Literally, you are seeing the shape of the cells in your eyes and the network of their interconnections.

It is believed that the reason why these form constants appear has to do with the way the visual system is organized, and in particular in the mapping between patterns on the retina and the columnar organization of the primary visual cortex. Concentric circles in the retina are mapped into parallel lines in the visual cortex. Spirals, tunnels, lattices and cobwebs map into lines in different directions. This means that if activation spreads in straight lines within the visual cortex, the experience is equivalent to looking at actual form constants.

I don't need to do drugs to trip.  I just let go of reality.

Imo tripping is actually akin to experiencing more of reality, not less. Assuming you're doing a psychedelic and not a deliriant, that is

Please refer to my previous post, I already explained this

Doing hallucinogens can open your mind to seeing the innerworkings of your body. Literally. It reduces filters in your brain and makes you see things that you learned to ignore as a baby.

To me, doing drugs is akin to glitching out a computer program.

Cannabis impacts your memory, it's like periodically deleting your computer's RAM while it's running.

LSD and psilocybin is like circuit bending, literally creating new pathways between parts of your brain that weren't connected before. This is why it makes you see colors and fractals, you're getting junk data from other parts of your brain passed to your visual cortex.

Alcohol is like adding packet loss to your nerves. It interferes with signals from being sent and received between various parts of your mind and body, this is why it numbs you and slows you down. Much like in a computer system you have to constantly resend lost information, slowing down the total communication throughput.

Ketamine is like turning off entire subsystems. When you're in a k-hole you've basically turned off anything related to visual and motor processing. It can feel nice to reboot every once in a while.

Essentially, different drugs can either expand or shrink your experience of reality. Dissociatives and deliriants make you experience less. Psychedelics and stimulants make you experience more.
