Does LSD sharpen perception?
Does LSD actually enhance the accuracy of our perceptions? Do we see, think, or hear better on LSD? The question has not been scientifically investigated. In an email exchange, the philosopher Riccardo Manzotti wrote me, “I do not believe that because of drugs one is more conscious or conscious of a different dimension. There is just a world and that is the world we experience every day. However, we may miss many things of the reality in which we live. Such drugs may ‘open the doors of our perception’ and if such doors were open reality would be … infinite. Like Blake said.”
