I hear everybody talking about drug induced depersonalization, especially Cannabis. I've been a daily toker for a couple of years, recently been spacing out my sessions a lot more. After a long time not knowing of the condition, a few days ago I realized I've suffered from DP/DR for as long as I can remember. Now my question is this - does anybody use Cannabis FOR DP/DR instead of Cannabis being the cause itself? I've noticed since toking less that i'm considerably more dissociated when I'm not high. I remember these feelings long before weed came along as well. I just find it strange that nobody has talked about weed HELPING DP/DR and not the other way round.
Heres another small question I have. Does DP/DR have anything to do with some issue with NMDA? The reason I ask this is because literally every single symptom, including sensory, match up with Ketamines effect profile, except Euphoria and full body Anaesthesia. Is this not coincidence? I understand NMDA Antagonists are dissociatives so are obviously going to cause these symptoms, I just find it bizzare that every effect, even sound feeling as though it is coming from any direction, is nearly identical to NMDA Antagonism.
I wondered if I perhaps have Less NMDA than I should have?
I found Ketamine felt EXTREMELY familiar to me, I understand Deja Vu is an effect but It felt like something i'd already experienced even at low doses. I didn't feel very different to usual because i'm so used to being confused and detached from myself and my surroundings all the time anyway.
