Can science explain why many psychedelic users consistently experience and visualise remarkable similar trips regardless of age, gender, background and setting?

because when your eyes get overstimulated everything looks crazy

For the same reason that water consistently puts out fire or mixing vinegar and baking soda consistently produces foam. If similar people (humans) take similar brain-altering chemicals (LSD, DMT, whatever else) those people will have similar experiences due to similar alterations in their similar brains.
That's the scientific (materialist) answer, anyway.

Need any more? We are not that different. If everyone are having same dreams about falling down, everyone can have same trips.

fractals
also, all our brains work on the same mechanism, so if multiple brains are exposed to the same chemicals, why would they act differently at all?
