I've had this happen more and more frequently now. The first time this happened, I'm sitting with my friend looking at him, when this huge black squiggly line appears to his left for a few seconds, it was slightly blurry, but it was definitely not an eye floater, as it remained in its position despite my eye moving. Next I start hearing sirens while no on else reported hearing anything. The strangest one was today, a fuzzy black dot that was twitching around on my night stand. I tried to catch it with my hands to see if it was a fly, but then it just disappeared.

Does this happen to anyone else? I'm considering quitting if this keeps up, I don't like it.

you sound schizophrenic find help from a psychiatrist and dont do any drugs
 
I don't think so. I feel pretty fine in the head otherwise. You sure this isn't just an effect from good weed?
 
Salutations,

Good day, have fun!!

ive never felt like that from weed, ever, but marijuana and drug use at early ages can speed up the development of mental issues in people. i suggest a break for a few weeks? let your brain get a little back to normal

Yeah I'm definitely done with weed for now, especially since those hallucinations and paranoia remain while I'm sober. I hope I didn't just break something in my brain permanently.
 
Weed is hallucinogenic at the right dose and/or circumstances (particularly if it is ingested).
But I have certainly had instances of interesting - if mild - visuals from cannabis.
I remember having auditory hallucinations from it when I was younger, but that was many years ago and I don't ever smoke so much that i experience such effects any more.
It does not mean you have schizophrenia, that's a bit presumptuous.

If you're getting effects that are troubling or you don't enjoy, definitely give it a rest though. Cannabis can trigger pre-existing mental health issues, but it's not going to "break something in your brain permanently".
You can certainly feel like you're going a bit loopy if you're smoking too much weed, but most of the time that just means you are smoking too much weed %)

Thanks, that's a relief. I'm going to see how a few weeks off does. I was getting worried because of a family history of mental health problems, didn't want to bring something out.
 
The first time i got high i saw a pen writing caligraphy in a giant book in front of me while walking, recording all my thougts.
 
dirtbag dan was talking about how he was hallucinating from the amount of dabs he did on the "Concentrate" music video
 
Some people do report visual hallucinations (both closed and open eyed visuals), and changes in hearing things while stoned as THC is a psychedelic.

If you're smoking high THC strains, vaporizing, or eating it and have a low tolerance it's not surprising why this is happening.
 
Have you taken any other drugs lately? Im pretty sure marijuana is capable of triggering HPPD.

This person, carbunch, might be familiar with the symptoms of schizophrenia and is already worried. I agree with Suarez, it does sound like it might be part of the prodromal stage of schizophrenia.

Hallucinating on weed does not make it certain but some common drugs, like marijuana, can trigger schizophrenic breaks and make them more intense. Marijuana likely is causing damage to the brain of affected schizophrenics.

"Patients with the worst brain tissue loss also had the worst symptoms, which included hallucinations, delusions, bizarre and psychotic thoughts, hearing voices, and depression." - http://www.schizophrenia.com/disease.htm

"Our findings provide evidence that heavy, chronic marijuana users have lower OFC gray matter volumes compared with nonusing controls."

That sounds like something is off with your mesolimbic pathways, and marijuana stimulates dopaminergic activity. For some people, marijuana can cause subtle hallucinations, but some people enjoy it. If it causes anxiety/negativity for you, then i'd stop if i were in your position. Maybe you should see a psychiatrist, you could be schizophrenic. If schizophrenia runs in your family then you are susceptible. If you're taking anything else that affects dopamine levels in your brain, it could be that, and I'd cease smoking if they contradict to cause anything unpleasant.
 
Well, I have never had hallucinations from weed, but yeah, I did get insanely trippy and my mind was filled with noises from outside. It was like, my hearing became much more acute and I could hear everything in great detail. It was messed up.
 
I kind of doubt weed gives people super powers. But this makes me laugh.

Changed perception, thought insertion, non-verbal auditory hallucinations, delusions of control, and delusions of grandiose ability.

These symptoms are consistent with acute cannabis intoxication (1992) and should clear up between and week and a month after stoppage.

I was gonna say the same thing.. I may be mistaken but, it goes from bipolar I, to bipolar II, to schizophrenia. THC is widely believed to accelerate this progression or be responsible in instigating the progession entirely..
 
Response. Please read

Sorry this message is so long. But hopefully this answers your question even though you probably asked this a while ago. (And no I didn't make this up and this wasn't the result of me smoking laced weed because I've had thsee kind of things happen a bunch of different times from different weed from different sources. Also my friends all smoked the same weed and didn't have anything like this happen to them, Just remember all people's brains work differently so all drus affect people differently.)

I've tried a lot of weed. All different strains from all different people. I myself have strong visual hilucanations almost every time I smoke weed. Ive had experience's where I've day dreamed me driving a car in New York City and the traffic was horrible so was the noises my ears thought they were hearing. I could hear the cars honking the poeple yelling at each other to move along.

I've also had full on visual trips while completely awake. This usually happens when I get paranoid or overwhelmed by something. Just recently I smoked some dope weed and was seeing the kind of thing i saw while on acid. Things like peple In the room who weren't there to the shapes and colors you see whIle on acid to me seeing the back of my head like my eyes where a fly on the wall behind me spying on me. While going though this experience I went to the bathroom to look at my throat because I felt as if it was bleeding. When I looked in the mirror at the back of my throat all my concentration went into my muscles in my mouth. At this point my mind some how zoomed into the back of my throat so it was all I could see. I then opend my mouth really wide and my throat tensed up so strong I couldn't breathe and muscles in my mouth the I didn't know a person could use on demand. Those muscles ended up very soar and strained for a few days. Later I sat down and tried to calm down because the experience in the mirror was very overwhelming and strange. While trying to calm down I ended up in a state of meditation that allowed me to feel the different parts of my brain by just thinking of it. My brain was having a battle against the decived senses that I had while going through my high. And I could feel the decision making process in my head struggle to remind myself that I was on a drug and because my brain controls my senses that I could stop my freaking out.

Let me know if anyone else has had anything like this happen to them while smoking non laced weed.

(Btw, never look in the mirror while high. Usually the strangest or trippiest most uncomfortable things happen when you do)
 
It can happen. Try smoking a nice pure Staiva or Sativa dominant hybrid at night. Or eat a high dose of cannabis when you have a day or two to yourself and do not have to drive anywhere, or have any responsablilities.

Mirrors are fun while tripping.
 
I got high as fuck on the top shelf weed. We smoked a bowl of kemdog then green crack then took a dab. I was so fucking high my body felt like it was hopping through black holes. That feeling the best waY I could described it was my body was being crushed to a tinny molicule then back to my original size. It was the most torture I think I could have in my life. I've smoked a bunch of weed and never had some shit like that happen. My friends all said my heart was going so fast that if I didn't calm down I would probably pass out. My temperature was so high I was making the room that was 80 degrees feel cold and everyone that felt mY skin said I was running a fever. That house also has history of being haunted so it could hAve been that I guess. Idk lol. That feeling though made me question if I ever want to smoke again even though I've loved I for so long. Let me know if anyone has ever had something that terrible happen to them before while on weed. If nobody has ever felt that then I probably wont ever smoke again cause I could have heart problems or I could be alergic to weed
