Tripping on “Aladdin” is as WEIRD as it sounds | UGLIEST PSYCH EVER

AL-LAD, an analog of LSD, is described through a personal experience centered on its unexpectedly grotesque visual effects. Unlike standard LSD, this substance induced uniquely harsh and unattractive distortions in facial features, prompting the user to compare the experience to a strange, non-idealized psychedelic state. The session, which also incorporated nitrous oxide, was characterized by a sense of confusion and ego-dissolution, rather than traditional euphoria or deep mystical insight. Contrasting the experience with accounts of profound psychedelic visuals, the speaker notes that AL-LAD provided a uniquely off-putting visual distortion while maintaining a relatively shallow overall quality. The lack of traditional psychedelic beauty is cited as a major drawback, ultimately leading to the conclusion that this substance lacks the transformative depth of LSD. The user reflects on their ongoing journey of self-regulation and the practice of discipline in their life as a means to manage and understand their psychedelic experiences.
