HPPD from weed?

I´ve done acid. I´ve done mushrooms. I´ve done dxm and ecstasy (which i know is dangerous). Good trips and bad trips, i always came down eventually. Nothing to worry about.

Three days ago I did shrooms, not that much, probably less than a gram (i think i had a gram..or so, and i shared with my boyfriend). The effects wore off, then i took a pill of ecstasy and had a very good trip, then i came down and went to sleep. I smoked weed throughout the trip and the day after and everything went fine.

So what´s the problem? 2 days after doing the shrooms I smoked weed and well, it wasn´t a different high, and after half an hour i had smoked, when the high had kinda worn off i layed down and stared at the ceiling. In my room it has some sort of textured patttern. Well i could see "visual snow", but i dont know if its just a regular optical ilusion from staring at that kinda stuff or if its me. And its not the first time it happened. Before doing the shrooms, i realized the weird effect..after smoking very good weed, and i thought i was high then realized i still got that visuals after the effects were gone.

Now everytime i stare at the ceiling or anything that has a small patter, like a sewn tablecloth , i get that effect. Its not that bad, its not like super-distorted, it just seem like an optical illusion, like those kinda pictures you watch online that seem as if they were "moving". Or maybe even less.

Its so weird because i thought that when u got hppd it was like "never coming down" from the mushrooms or whatever... but i came down fine and it is the weed that gave me that effect. It doesnt really give me anxiety for i know everything is gonna be okay. I dont think it can worsen from future psychedelic drug use. Like i told you, i had noticed that before and last weekend´s trip didnt make it any worse.

but, is it really hppd?? i have a loooot of floaters, and get the Blue field entoptic phenomenon when looking at the sky. More of a consequence of heavy computer use rather than drug abuse, if u ask me.

But do u think my visual noise is caused by the drugs?? is it very mild hppd or am i just over-thinking? because my other theory is that, after doing shrooms you´ll never see things the same again. As if i "opened a door of perception or something". has any of this ever happened to you? Like YOU KNOW how things look like when you´re tripping, and then, after staring at them sober, you can almost feel it, ALMOST. I think you can only reach that point after experimenting several times with psychedelics. I have taken mushrooms about 10 times, and it was not until the last one that i can actually REMEMBER what the effects are like, like i memorized the shroom feeling in my brain. After doing it only one or two times, you remember how good you felt but cant really describe what it was like... same applies to ecstasy.
 
You're over thinking, some amount of visual "snow", floaters etc is totally normal even in people who have never ever taken drugs in their life.
Stress (worrying about things, low blood sugar etc) can make them more apparent.

Really unless the visual distortions get so bad you can't go about your daily life, you shouldn't worry about them. If they bother you don't go looking for them and evenrtually you won't even see the "snow" etc uneless looking at a blank white wall or a bright blue clear sky.
 
In the days when I did lots of mdma, I'd often find that smoking weed in the days (sometimes weeks) after dropping, that I'd get a return of snow, tracers etc, usually when I was tired. It always stopped after a while. I wouldn't worry too much, or just leave it a few more days after mdma or mushrooms before you smoke weed if you find it uncomfortable.

this.

For a week or 2 after tripping, or rolling, I get alot of minor visual distortions and such after smoking. Mostly snow and tracers, but some other minor things as well.
 
oh well. i wish i had NEVER found out about HPPD. just knowing that it is a risk makes me kinda hypocondriac lol

before reading about it, i would have never think that "permafrying" your brain was even possible, even at high doses.
 
its not floaters that sounds like what i have it started after using scopolamine weed and synthetic thc lsd and shit now when i look at carpets ceilings walls or fabric that has patterns i see weird heat wave type shit come off it its very visual like hallucinations sorta sounds like hppd
