psychedelically

In hallucinogenic fashion

In a manner suggestive of psychedelic drugs or their effects—vivid, hallucinatory, intensely colorful, or perception-altering.

The word modifies visual or sensory descriptions: The walls swirled psychedelically.

It can also describe artistic style: psychedelically painted vans, a psychedelically designed album cover.
