I'd like to extend what @Aella_Girl has said about this!
Yes, words are placeholders for ideas, and verbal communication helps in communicating these ideas. But, when your brain thinks, it thinks both verbally and visually. (1)

Your brain then, packages the visual concepts into words since we humans are always trying to communicate. We are social creatures after all. Also, sometimes, there are multiple ideas that get entangled into a word. This is mainly due to the complexity of the ideas involved. (2)

What acid helps with, is the breakdown of these words into their constituent ideas. This process becomes easier on acid because your visual thinking has been ramped up with your visual cortex working on overdrive. (3)

The human brain has the apparatus to think visually. Children pick up sign language a lot more quickly than spoken language for a reason! Because we still have the apparatus leftover from the time when we were more ape than human. (4)

But, the reason why some people are more prone to verbal thinking is because they are more of a 'social creature' than most others. This puts a biological pressure on them to think more verbally. This obviously happenes involuntarily. (5)

But, if you do want to be able to communicate the ideas that you learnt during your acid trips, I would suggest honing your verbal communication skills. Add more words to your vocabulary. Each word is like a new function call to an elaborate story. Ex: Hysteria.(6)

'Hysteria' actually means 'arising from the womb'. The reason why that word is used to describe 'madness' is because there was a time when medical science believed that madness stems from the womb. There is a long story behind every single word.(7)

Knowing more words is like knowing how to draw smaller and smaller shapes, until you can build an extremely high resolution picture. In conclusion: it's definitely possible to communicate the ideas you discover during acid trips. It just requires more practice. (8)

you're correct to an extent, but I'm firmly convinced that there is an infinite amount of ephemera which cannot be verbalized

Just invent new words! There are an infinite number of words that can be invented!

inventing a new word is easy teaching everybody else what the new word means is hard

True! But that's why we humans are also wired to make memes go viral. If your newly invented wired hits the 'meme sweet-spot' it'll go viral and the rest of us will adopt it quickly enough! Ex:pic.twitter.com/BmFb1n7BAB
