    It’s totally possible to have synesthesia experiences without substances. Some people just have it, and you might be one of them.

      What would you say is the synesthesia part though? When it happens I can see things, like my hands, the room around me etc. not “shapes” or “colors” or anything.

        Yeah, that wouldn’t be synesthesia, and I’m not exactly sure what it would be. What I do know is that we don’t have enough understanding of how how our brains work, and we need more research on stuff like this. Is it a positive or negative experience when it happens to you?
