what is some 'psychedelic' literature? I don't mean books explicitly dealing with psychedelics or studies on LSD and mushrooms, but rather stuff that intentionally produces a hallucinogenic feel when reading, that plays perceptive tricks on the mind, etc.

what's on the plate?
its chicken boiled and marinaded in whiskey and nyquil. I'm Veeky Forums crossposting
When my friend read "fear and loathing in Las Vegas," his nose started bleeding. HST is a powerful drug.
What is that pic trying to convey?
Also I'd say Valis and Scanner Darkly made me feel weird and disconnected.
Borges, some Pynchon stuff, Burroughs. The Illuminatus is kind of trippy but it also sort of sucks.
Murakami After Dark
movies and music are more psychedelic than literature, most of the insane shit that happens on lsd is "beyond language" or maybe "below language" if you think of the brain like a computer and language is some assembly code running on the processor and the subconscious is the electricity across the logic gates, then lsd is lower than language, it's dream like, animalistic, usually if you try to get all logical you just fall into some weird loop that people who aren't tripping can't understand, so honestly i can't think of anything that really captures that experience unfortunately
Some of the passages in American Psycho did that for me. Might have just been because I was sleep deprived for several days while reading it though.
