fastandbulbous said:^ Cannabis is the worst drug going for getting trapped in thought loops (and usually becomes anxiety ridden)
Certainly ; each and every time I've been stuck in an uncontrollable loop (that is, an uncomfortable one...) It has been due to excessive cannabis ...
This usually results in complete memory loss the next day too, bar the odd flashback..
One case in particular, I watched a film with a repetetive sound track - one song that plays consistantly, 4 or 5 times throughout the film (can't recall the title atm)... this perpetuated my thought loop. Being relatively inexperienced with psychedelics at the time, I opted to try and 'kill' the loops by smoking bong after bong of cannabis - aiming to get into a blissfully unaware, cabbaged state...
massive mistake... the evening continued, the song carried on repeating - time after time after time... I got the inevitable "I'm stuck" thoughts etc...
I remember quivering in the corner for almost the rest of the trip... not speaking at all even though apparently several people tried to talk to me
I suffered a massive ego loss this particular evening; the next day was wonderful however - but I will never ever choose to re-live that experience! The following day I was filled with so much emotion I cried uncontrollably several times, which is completely out of character; being the man's man
I cannot explain the feelings I get; the thought process etc. when I hear that particular song to date... thinking about it now i almost has me in the same mind-state....
Quite an outstanding experience I think.... I learnt many many lessons about myself that fateful evening, including confronting many of my lurking inner demons in what can only be described as a mind-duel
I hope this goes some way to describing the phenomenon to those who don't know what these loops consist of; and offer some advice with regards to stupidly excessive cannabis use - the confusion from being stone to pieces combined with your mind running a million thoughts per second on acid - have some respect for cannabis!
