Is there a medical procedure that could make me one of you?

I viewed a documentary on this condition a few years ago and was astounded .It made me feel i was missing out on a pleasurable experience

No, but most of my thinking is in detailed images. Does that count somehow?

I don't believe I have tasted colors before, but I never thought about it until now.

I could taste colors once. I was high as fuck on acid. But don’t think that counts.

Yeah it was pretty wild. @pthomas59

Don't know if there is a corelation, but my youngest son has Aspergers and loves the taste of the color yellow. It's not as pronounced as it was when he was a child, but as far as I know it's still there.

Yeah, I have color-graphemic synesthesia, too. I was describing it to people long before I had a word for it and they all just thought I was wierd.

I can smell what your cooking, but I can't hear if it is seasoned right...that is definitely a rare condition. Wasn't there a drug that could imitate it? I only vaguely remember this from the 90's, because, well, it was the 90's.

@pthomas59 haha! I love it! That is an artist dream.

I had to look that term up.
I'm going to say, no, I am not.

Smell your words, hear the colors, taste the thoughts.
