Yes, many psycho-active chemicals have this affect for me, especially psychedelics. This visual activation and learning that aphantasia is a thing and people to "visualizing" something isn't a metaphor led me to see if I could teach myself to visualize. I have near complete aphantasia, but over the last few years I have learned to minimally visualize. Though it was almost an accident, I spent so much time trying to understand the mechanism I used to understand the color wheel that after several years I started vaguely visualizing it. A bit annoying because it was like my brain got sick of me asking "how do I think of this thing" that it just decided to show me rather than tell me...
