There’s a pretty good fantasy detective game called Dragon Detective, where you use all 5 senses on most parts of a crime scene. Use of “Taste” is originally treated as a joke by the coleads, but since the main character is immune to most poison and has a fine sense of taste, he really does lick everything for details.
I’m pretty sure that’s just how scientists did things up until like 1952.
The best game of bowling I ever played was on 200ug of LSD. It does seem to activate your sensory experience in ways that give you greater ability sometimes.
The hard part is having it do that consistently. I strongly believe that research into lysergimides could lead to the discovery of a variation that makes you more coordinated and creative without the hallucinogenic effects.
There is mild historical proof that that early humans consumed grains contaminated with ergot (what lsd is derived off)on purpose before hunting.
The theory is that it gave them hightend senses to spot animals. In stoned ape theory this coincided with the beginning of creating language and art.

Yeah i don’t recommend taking that guys word on it.
I was careful with my wording for a reason.
The concept has some merit though, just leave it to actual scientists to verify such.

“Human use of psychoactive plants, in particular, was a lot more common in the ancient past than we can appreciate at the moment,” said Adam Brumm, a professor of archaeology in the Australian Research Center for Human Evolution at Griffith University who led the study.“I think it was probably a very deeply rooted aspect of human behavior,” he added.
Dr. Brumm and his colleagues unearthed the jawbone and teeth of the ancient forager in 2017 at a cave called Leang Bulu Bettue. Although Sulawesi is home to the oldest known rock art in the world, dating back some 67,000 years, the discovery of the bones was the first time any skeletal remains of prehistoric humans had been found on the island.

It’s garbage “science”, Lamarckian evolution for a new generation.

Yea. It’s called SSRIs. I feel like I just got off a 6 hour mushroom trip constantly. But LSD does have a special sensory/tingly effect that’s really nice.
I’ve been on them before, and unfortunately they don’t have that effect for me. They made me a little zombified, honestly, but I imagine it depends a lot on your biology.
Psychedelics increase brain activity
Definitely. I think it is really telling that the only description the CIA has for LSD is “sensory enhancement” and nothing about impairment. You’re experiencing hyper reality, not fictional reality.
The best part was their final was a power point presentation.
