I know of jbovlaste and similar sources; my issue is in putting
together tanru and lujvo to express concepts like these. This one, at
least at that level, I should've probably been able to make, knowing
ctuca and ckule, but at the same time it seems a bit vague, even
relative to the English equivalent.
For "trippy" in this case it would be along the lines of causing the
feeling of trippiness (like a weird kaleidoscope or something; not so
much hallucinogens per se), rather than feeling trippy (which I agree
would probably work well as an attitudinal combination).
