    Did acid once, this was my experience:

    There were the typical effects like motion trails, moving patterns, etc, but honestly most of the effects were more tied to my emotional state than anything else.
    When I was feeling good, things look brighter, a little blurrier, softer, maybe a little more wavy, and I felt happier and more confident.

    But when I was feeling bad, things looked sharper, more intense, and with higher contrast. Small smudges on the wall would stand out, and I felt vulnerable like I was a little kid.

    Sounds were more intense and louder, almost like they were coming out of my head.
    Music was too intense for me at the peak, but it was great during the come down. It sounded really spatial like the music was all around me.

    My emotions could easily be swayed by the most insignificant things, like the colour of a light, a gust of wind, etc…

    It constantly felt like I was moving forward/progressing though. Something that made me ‘sad’ 20 seconds ago felt like it happened a long time ago.
    Any current problems felt like they had already passed, because I’d already been on the rollercoaster of emotions processing them. It was like a “I’ve felt everything there is to feel about that, time to move on” sort of thing.
