Episode notes
LSD Flashback Impact Anecdote
- Ben Bolin shared his experience of being rejected from law enforcement due to past LSD use and flashback concerns.
- This illustrates how urban legends about LSD flashbacks can affect real-life opportunities.
Understanding LSD Flashbacks Scientifically
- Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD) is rare and typically mild, with most flashbacks being short and non-impairing.
- LSD metabolizes quickly, so flashbacks are not caused by the chemical lingering in the body.
Subjectivity of Psychedelic Flashbacks
- Flashbacks and psychedelic experiences are subjective and vary greatly between individuals.
- Memory reconnections triggered by specific sensations can cause re-experiencing drug-like effects.
