Synesthesia: Can you taste words, shapes, hear colors? Thought I was the only one

I used to see abstract visual representations of non-visual words when I was a boy...

The word "because" looked like one of those NBC-logo-shaped windows that they put over doors sometimes. That's the only one I can remember now as an adult. There were a handful of others but that's the one that stuck with me. I think this is a form of it.

Nowadays I only get synesthesia when I ingest holy chemicals, generally.
 
But honestly the idea of being able to TASTE words, that trips me out way more than the visualization stuff because visualizing is sort of a skill I've practiced a lot whereas "imagining tastes" is something I don't do very often at all... so I'd imagine it would be quite a trip to have them summoned from outside stimuli. I do get very strange taste associations (Chardonnay tastes like roast beef that's gone bad to me, for example) that those around me tend to overlook... I usually just chalk it up to having a refined palette but some of them are really weird.

There's also a certain french bread we get from the bakery in hannafords sometimes that tastes strongly of grape juice to me. Girlfriend doesn't notice it at all. I think this one is some sort of weird burned in association from going to church when I was a kid though... body of Christ and some grape juice to wash it down because Christ's real blood had too much alcohol content for these Flanders-esque fuckers...

...

But I digress.

Back to your normally scheduled thread.

Sometimes I catch a whiff of the unholy bastardized portions of my own sinuses that are clogged with the corpses of the millions of cellular relatives who's remains lie lodged in the corpse-souping swamp of bong resin and vapor condensate that no doubt lies in the bottom of what has become the very physical manifestation of denial.

That should not be.
 
Have you figured out a way to make it work for you.
like those savantes who see images for numbers n stuff like that?
 
If we took hookah to vegas it would be like this.

Hookah:
Peanut butter, definantly peanut butter!.

Blackjack Dealer:

I can't smell colours or hear shapes or anything.

But, some of the new weeds I have been smoking make me smell things that aren't there. For example, one kind, I always smell toast. Like every time. And there's NO TOAST in my house.

Another different kind, and I can smell bad smells, like mildew on a towel or something gross in the refrigerator that my boyfriend can't smell.

So - I think weed has given me periodically heightened senses. Like a superhero. A very LAME superhero.

I should probably travel around by way of fish too...
