I don't know who needs to hear this, but people, please do not take psychedelics and put lasers near your eyes.

Emphasis on AND. Putting lasers near your eyes is a sober activity.

This is true. Laser Doppler Vibrometry and Atomic Force Microscopy are two legitimate examples of using lasers near your eyes while sober.

Im working my way up intensity to build an immunity. I'm all the way to class IV indirect. Hoping to achieve direct by the next eclipse so I don't need my Raybans.

When you gain the superpower to shoot lasers from your eyeballs, I am going to have a few contracts for you.

Do not take psychedelic with remaining eye.

laser light has this way of enhancing interference patterns as it spreads out, this is why it has weird looking patterns when projected in a wide angle.

This is also probably what the person in this post was seeing and tripping on, staring directly into a laser pointer while high as balls.

I'm sorry, I thought this was America!

Take psychedelics, why not, go for it.
Put lasers near your eyes, absolutely.
But never, EVER, take psychedelics
and ALWAYS put salt in your eyes!
