![]() In previous experiences that led to the more controlled self-experiment, the subject reported using MDMA once, psilocybin mushrooms twice, oral LSD five times, and inhaling DMT (dimethyltryptamine) seven times. Self-reported Ishihara Test data from the subject revealed partial improvement in CVD, peaking at 8 days and persisting for at least 16 days post-psilocybin administration. In the current case, a subject with red-green CVD (mild deuteranomalia) self-administered the Ishihara Test to quantify the degree and duration of color vision improvement after using 5 g of dried psilocybin magic mushrooms. One of the more accessible options for some specific types of color blindness is glasses with special lenses, like the ones made by EnChroma, which selectively filter out wavelengths of light at the point where red and green frequencies overlap for a person with color blindness, making the two distinct. There is no treatment to correct color blindness, although there have been attempted workarounds. Life with color blindness can be difficult aside from making the occasional wardrobe color mistakes, it can make maps and infographics indecipherable, disguise the ripeness of fruits or freshness of meat in the fridge, and can restrict career choices where color sight is an advantage or required, such as airline pilot, graphic artist and textile and paint-related jobs. People with color blindness can only perceive around 10% of hues and color variations compared with normal color vision, with some forms having no ability to distinguish red and green. It is the most common type of CVD, occurring in 8% of men and 0.5% of women. Red-green CVD, which results in difficulties distinguishing between red and green, is typically an inherited condition caused by X chromosome-linked recessive mutations in genes coding for components of cones. If one or more of these pigments is missing, the result is color blindness. ![]() There is a lack of scientific evidence for these claims, as researching the effects of these drugs has been highly restricted.Ĭolor vision depends on a cluster of three types of photoreceptors known as cones-red, green, and blue sensing retinal photoreceptors with light-sensitive pigments. Past reports have indicated that people with color vision deficiency (CVD), usually referred to as color blindness, experience better color vision after using lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) or psilocybin (magic mushrooms). Published in the journal Drug Science, Policy and Law, the researchers highlight some implications surrounding a single reported vision improvement self-study by a colleague and cite other previous reports, illustrating a need to understand better how these psychedelics could be used in therapeutic settings. ![]()
