This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

How could a chemical agent control the hallucination so specifically? I mean, distorting perception of size makes sense, but tiny colorful people?
is there like local stories about those tiny humans that could influence people mind?
Or again, it doesn't give hallucinations but just the ability to see the tiny people, that's the most logical conclusion!
A lot of drugs have common shared experiences. It's why you know it's nothing but turtles all the way down.
Really very few of them when you consider how many drugs there are. Shared experiences can be similar, but rarely duplicate details like lots of tiny, brightly colorful people. I mean, two friends who just saw a monster movie together could both hallucinate the monster, but this isn't going to happen to diverse groups living far apart.
