what was your trip like? did you see or experience anything groovy?
i'm too much of a pussy to try shrooms, LSD or anything hallucinogenic. plus i don't think it would be very good for my mental health, personally. which is a shame because although i find the thought of experiencing things that aren't there pretty scary, i also think it's fascinating and would be tempted to try it out if the opportunity arose. but i won't. i'm a pussy.
i won't say who, but a relative of mine tripped on acid a few times. he enjoyed it. one time he and a bunch of his mates took some tabs and wandered about the countryside. they were walking through an empty field and he watched as all of his mates, one after the other, stepped over an invisible fence. there was nothing there. he couldn't stop laughing. then they went into a strawberry field and started eating strawberries. at that point he looked up and noticed the sky had turned into strawberry skin.
on the other hand someone else i know who tripped on acid spent their time running around the countryside convinced they were being chased by wolves.

My first trip i was mostly drunk and don't remember but my second...oh boy. It was an experience to say the least a very close friend and I decided we would take our shrooms and go into the woods. Within an hour we were reduced to heaps of giggles and tears both lying down in a knoll and looking up at the sky. Then out of no where I began to see shapes in the sky and nearly simultaneously lost the ability to discern reality. I had heard the term "hallucination" before and thought it was seeing purple elephants and whatnot. But no from that point on I realized that a "hallucination" is simply lacking the ability to quantify reality. This lead to a number of profound thoughts and ideas about how the world works and how we as humans interact. At the time it was beneficial for my mental state as thoughts like these drew me out of my depression. 5 hours later I walked out of that forest refreshed, anew, almost like a baby coming into the world again.
But to answer your question yes, I had many "groovy" visuals. In particular were patterns of interlocking and flowing color around my vision constantly. Also wood grain, roots, and sometimes grass and the ground would appear to flow as a fluid. Although i would make a strong note that visuals are a small part of the trip. It is mainly consistent of altered thought patterns. Which can be beneficial or cause you to have a bad trip depending on whether you can maintain your thoughts throughout. I also learned recently that mushrooms can bring forth latent or dormant mental disorders which i found intriguing.
