I don't know who needs to hear this, but people, please do not take psychedelics and put lasers near your eyes.

laser light has this way of enhancing interference patterns as it spreads out, this is why it has weird looking patterns when projected in a wide angle.

This is also probably what the person in this post was seeing and tripping on, staring directly into a laser pointer while high as balls.
