[Solved] Is psilocybin or ayahuasca more visual?

The experience of optical illusions and visual effects can vary between psilocybin (from magic mushrooms or truffles) and ayahuasca. Both psychedelics have unique properties and effects that influence the nature of the visual experiences.

Psilocybin is known to cause vivid visual hallucinations. Users often report an increased intensity of colors, distortions of objects, and patterns that repeat or move. The visual effects of psilocybin are often less overwhelming than those of ayahuasca, because the dosage of psilocybin is often lower than with ayahuasca. The intensity of the hallucinations can therefore vary depending on the dose.

Ayahuasca, which contains DMT in combination with MAO inhibitors, can also cause powerful visual hallucinations. The visual experiences with ayahuasca are often described as more dreamlike and narrative, with users experiencing complex visual stories and symbolism. The effects of ayahuasca are often more intense and usually last longer than those of psilocybin, because the dosages for ayahuasca are often higher than those for psilocybin.

In general, it can be stated that both psilocybin and ayahuasca can cause optical illusions and visual hallucinations, but the nature and intensity of these experiences can differ primarily due to the dosage. If you compare a low to medium dose of psilocybin with ayahuasca, you will ayahuasca likely produce more visual effects. Should you increase the psilocybin dosage to the high or heroic level, psilocybin can overpower the visual effects of ayahuasca. As a final addition, we must mention that all of this also depends on the user and how sensitive they are to both substances.
