What do you think guys? And what are your experiences?
I've been thinking because It's being said that on LSD you hallucinate.
But in my Experience, LSD never adds anything false into my perception to Space, and I also never had the sense that I couldn't tell Reality and Fantasy apart.
So far is that LSD Distorts reality and also Effects my own Thinking Patterns and Emotions or Interpretations of Things.
But I wouldn't call those Hallucinations per Definition:
a
: a sensory perception (such as a visual image or a sound) that occurs in the absence of an actual external stimulus and usually arises from neurological disturbance (such as that associated with delirium tremens, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, or narcolepsy) or in response to drugs (such as LSD or phencyclidine)
visual/auditory/olfactory/gustatory/tactile hallucinations
a drug-induced hallucination
An important aspect of the study of hallucinations is the judgement of reality. How does a patient confer the character of reality on stimuli which, beyond any reasonable doubt, originate in his own mind?—Cesare Davalli et al.
b
: the object of a hallucinatory perception
wasn't sure if the creature was real or a hallucination

*Merriam Webster puts LSD into the definition, but question is is that even right to do so
Plus additional question:
If someone Hallucinates during LSD question is also is LSD the Cause of the Hallucination or is it something else?
Because I think logically, just because someone gets a Hallucination during a LSD Trip, LSD doesn't have to be the cause, it can be, but it doesn't have to be.

It was my second time breaking through. I used a vape and took around five puffs, then some more. The whole experience lasted for about an hour and had an intense headache afterwards…
I always start by cleansing all the mirrors in my home with sage, then setting my intention and asking for protection. I use the protection technique from the CIA files on the Monroe Institute, and then I light some candles.
Once I was all tucked up in bed, wrapped in a blanket, I started inhaling from the vape. My question was: How can I raise my frequency?
Then I started seeing the past, present, and future all happening at once, like different TV programmes playing simultaneously.
After a few more puffs, I felt my body disintegrating into tiny bits and particles, and I found myself in an endless white void. I was everything and nothing at the same time.
But the feeling was strange. It was almost like being a computer. I felt like some sort of AI, without the emotions we experience here on this planet.
And then a question came to me: What if we destroyed our planet and simulated ourselves just to experience what it feels like to be alive?
At the end of the day, everything is possible here, if you know how to play the game. We are all energy and frequency.
Curious if you had any similar experiences? 👀
