Ok ,

so Iv used many psychedelic drugs, and I have to say this so called flashback phenomena I enjoy, Its something I have put up with for awhile, well you know what I mean it all self inflicted :p

Im a heavy weed smoker and I sure this doesnt help, but Iv recently started exercising a whole lot and Ive noticed the blurry vision and patterns ect......whilst Im working out,

can anyone relate??? :]
 
Strange visual & perceptual phenomena aren't terribly uncommon with physical exertion whether one has used psychedelic drugs or not. Usually these are tunnel type vision, changes in contrast, and grainy vision.

Also, the beginning of a trip often activates some of the same arousal systems in the brain that are active during intense physical activity, and you could associate that arousal with a psychedelic state to the point of experiencing similar types of perceptual phenonmena.

And yes, cannabis does cause perceptual changes as well. These seem to be either more pronounced or more easily noticed in users of psychedelics.
 
Ive gone through pretty long bouts of audio and visual distortions after taking breaks from psychedelics. The constant weed smoking keeps these lingering effects around for a long time.. at least in my case. And I definitely have tripped out at the gym. during this time I think this is because going to the gym gives you a body high which brings your mind back into a kind of trip state.
the effects linger but they go away
 
Like others have said perceptual changes are common during physical exertion. I experienced these changes before using psychedelics and after using them I can't say I've noticed any increased visuals when exercising.

Exercising does increase serotonin levels but I'm not sure if that has any significant impact on perceptual changes.
 
Yeah,

I get it also when I shit, had it for ages now and fuck giving up weed, Id rather just ride this shit out. just goes to show what a lazy bastard I am, as Iv been experiencing this foe a few years now, its till about 3 weeks ago when I started the gym that it started happening like through my entire work out, sit ups, press ups are a blast!!!

My other friends just cant relate to such things....he, he......what do they know!!! :]
 
perhaps cannabinoids (and perhaps other drugs?) that were stored in your fat due to years of marijuana use are being released as you burn that fat now.

Click to expand...

Doubtful. If a drug were to hang around in your system long enough to be stored, it wouldn't be very active.
 
I lift a lot, often stoned, and yup, intense moments peak it but I do have the symptoms of what would be called HPPD.
 
i don't see why my theory isn't possible. cannabinoids/metabolites being stored in fat is the reason that its possible to test positive for cannabis on a drug test for such a long time as compared to other drugs.
