  1. And that sometimes psychosis is a reaction to perceptual distortions and sensory loss and sometimes sensory overstimulation. Psychosis can be the effect of perceptual distortion. That your own distorted perceptions start shaping your thought. All we really know are our perceptions. And using that input we shape our reality. And that obviously influences how we think.
    Thought may exist without sensory input but how does that compare to thought that is considered normal from people with their full facilties of normal sensory perception? If helen Keller had no sense of touch, would she go absolutely crazy?

  2. The interesting thing i see is that professionals tend not to believe things until they are truly "proven" scientifically through tests, trials and studies.

    But it takes 5-10 years before it is proven something that was known or educatedly guessed. For instance, you have people who have persistent perceptual disorders and psychotic symptoms because of research chemicals, "legal highs", hormone therapies, drugs with huge half lives, etc; these people know that these drugs can cause these symptoms and disorders but professionals lots of times are not convinced until it is proven scientifically through studies. When in reality, all it takes is the feedback from the sufferer: such as: " listen man, trust me, these things cause negative lasting effect... I know because I am going through it right now and everyday and almost every hour, minute, second of the day.". Its like not believing the world is round unless we have satellite photos or something.

    The hallucinogen-induced persistent perception disorder (hppd) is a disturbing complication resulting from the use of hallucinogens. We report on a case-study in which an artist suffering from visual, auditory and olfactory hallucinations also experienced chromatic-phonemic synesthesias that had persisted for two years after he had stopped using lysergic acid diethylamide (lsd). The case described demonstrates that individuals suffering from hppd can also experience synesthesias that may in fact differ phenomenologically from 'coloured hearing', which is a symptom known to occur in the context of substance abuse. Read More

    • Palinopsia, the persistence or recurrence of visual images after the stimulus has been removed, is a nonspecific term that describes multiple types of visual symptoms with a wide variety of etiologies. For example, palinopsia may be the presenting symptom of a potentially life-threatening posterior cortical lesion, yet it may also be a benign medication side effect. We comprehensively review all published cases and subdivide palinopsia into two clinically relevant categories: illusory palinopsia and hallucinatory palinopsia. Read More        http://www.pubfacts.com/detail/25113609/Palinopsia-revamped:-A-systematic-review-of-the-literature.

    2-([2-(4-cyano-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethylamino]methyl)phenol (25CN-NBOH) is structurally similar to N-benzyl substituted phenethylamine hallucinogens currently emerging as drugs of abuse. 25CN-NBOH exhibits dramatic selectivity for 5-HT2A receptors in vitro, but has not been behaviorally characterized.
    25CN-NBOH was compared to the traditional phenethylamine hallucinogen R(-)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI) using mouse models of drug-elicited head twitch behavior and drug discrimination. Read More

  7. I am having a hard time finding those researchers or doctors.  

     

    If your English is ok, in comprehending reading material,  you should definitely check this out,  perhaps there is some connection (: /). You can probably find the original text which may be in Italian:

    Blotters are usually impregnated with hallucinogens such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD); only rarely other psychoactive substances are detected. In this work we identified 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine (DOB) and 2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine (DMA) in illicit blotters seized in Italy. This report describes a rapid method for the simultaneous identification and quantitation of DOB and its precursor (DMA) by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS), using 2,3-dimethoxyphenethylamine-d3 as internal standard. Read More
