This is not a report of one experience but of how I got HPPD, and what has occured with regard to substance use since I got it.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I have smoked dope for a number of years now, and although it often made me paranoid I suffered no serious adverse affects.  Being curious about alterating my conciousness, about a year ago I dropped 3/4 of a tab of quality acid.  I was in an intimate, relaxed setting with friends and good music, but even so I felt a little apprhensive.  However, I smoked a couple of joints, mellowed out and ate the tab.  The trip was fantastic- I saw some amazing fractals and had a fanatasic trip, although it was not particularly intense.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I had no adverse effects the next day apart from a comedown, and decided that acid was something I&#x27;d like to do regularily.  Immediately after dropping the tab (the next few weeks) I smoked dope heavily, and about a month post-trip I started to notice fractals whenever I got stoned.  I dismissed this at first, but as I continued to smoke the symptoms worsened (but perhaps they would have naturally anyway).  Today, the symptoms are as bad as they have ever been, but since they started so mildly I can still lead a normal life, though they sure get me down sometimes.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
The interesting thing is that although most HPPDers say that even smelling pot smoke can make their symptoms permanently worse, I have smoked (and continue to smoke) shitloads of pot since getting HPPD.  In addition, I dropped small doses of acid twice after getting this syndrome, and have also done e, slavia, nitrous, heaps of alochol and I currently do speed fairly regularly (it&#x27;s about the only chemical that doesn&#x27;t make symptoms worse).
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Anyway, just though I&#x27;d submit this because my HPPD experience is rather different to the conventional one- and yes, I do have genuine hppd: static, afterimages, floaters, fucked up peripheral vision et. Al.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Anyway, I&#x27;m gonna go and smoke a couple of cones tonight- if I try and forget HPPD, it can sometimes forget me!
