    I noticed after the first time I took acid (which was my first step to anything stronger than weed) that my vision was changed.  Everything I looked at seemed to sort of shimmer in a way, it&#x27;s hard to describe, everything just looked different.  I didn&#x27;t consider this a bad thing and by no means did it steer me away from LSD.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
    It wasn&#x27;t until after I experimented with mushrooms that I really noticed long term effects on my vision.  The first time I had mushrooms we had picked a few shopping bags full, about a week later we went back to the forest and got more.  Whilst tripping on shrooms everything I looked at would be moving.  If I stared at a wall it would sort of sway back and forth, slightly moving in a circular motion.  The floor would appear to be sink and rise, a picture on the wall seeming to get bigger then smaller.  I still noticed these affects after the drug had completely worn off, especially after smoking a few pipes.  I didn&#x27;t really think much of it though, thinking of it as after-effects that will wear off with time.  After mushroom season finished I grimly realised that this was not so.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
    After not touching mushrooms for a good six months, everything I looked at still moved around.  I told my friends about this and discovered that I was the only one to suffer these long term effects.  They claimed that their vision was completely normal, and they had eaten as many mushrooms as I had. I still wasn&#x27;t too worried, thinking this would eventually wear off.  All the acid I was eating probably wasn&#x27;t helping.  For some reason I indulged in mushrooms again the following winter.  Not long after that I moved away from the city, and for about a year I didn&#x27;t do any drugs apart from smoking weed, drinking piss and the odd bit of speed here and there.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
    Everything I looked at still swayed and shimmered.  Just recently I got hold of a sheet of trips, not being able to help myself in the time span of about a month and a half I probably ate about 20.  They got finished off about two weeks ago, and I notice some definate long-term effects.  I see shadows where there aren&#x27;t any shadows, which are also moving.  I see a lot of static in my vision, more so at night.  I think everything moves around a bit more after that little acid binge.  Again, the friend who I ate those trips with says his vision hasn&#x27;t changed at all.  My bother has eaten a lot more acid and shrooms than me, he gets flashbacks but he doesn&#x27;t hallucinate 24hrs a day like I do.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
    Sometimes I think to myself &#x27;why am I still taking these kinds of drugs?&#x27;.  It can be frustrating at times, being an artist and musician I really enjoy psychedelic drugs but it seems this stuff really screws with my vision.  Have I just plainly taking too much of the stuff, are these long term effects normal?  After reading about HPPD, it appears I fit the criteria for the condition.  In my experience LSD and psilocybin can have strong long-term effects.&lt;!-- End Body --&gt;
