So ive had on LSD some pretty wierd distortions such as seeing things in different colours or my vision becoming like a fisheye, like i had gopro for eyes

How does that work? Is your eye changing, like when your pupils get bigger or just signals in your brain interpreting it like that

It temporarily alters the sensory perception portions of your brain chemistry. You will hear some people refer to “hearing colors” or “seeing sounds”. While hyperbolic to an extent, from their perspective mid-trip, that is actually a concise, ELI5 explanation of what is happening to their brain.

There are a lot of factors that will determine if this temporary alteration is fun or scary (good trip v bad trip).
