> Hallucinogen Persisting Perceptual Disorder is a condition marked by visual or other perceptual disturbances typical of psychedelic use that continue for weeks and months after coming off the psychedelic, in some cases permanently. Have you ever had this condition?
‘Visual or other perceptual disturbances’ is very different than hallucinating.
HPPD is probably real, but also probably not a big deal for most people. It most likely just results at staring at empty space a bit more from time to time when something odd pops up.
There are bigger risks with psychedelics such as trigger an underlying mental condition or suffering emotional trauma (‘bad trip’).
