Anyone else find weed to be quite psychedelic?

My first year at college I started smoking pot and literally smoked every day multiple times a day. I would get nice and blazed and it was always a relaxed experience where everything got funnier but I never had any psychedelic effects at all. At most, if I got high enough, I'd see static over everything (HPPD-esque). I had a few other friends who would mention that they saw static at times and others who would say they also saw the static when I'd mention it myself.

Towards the end of the year right before summer I tried MDMA a few times and combined it with weed a couple of times. Each time I tried this combination it became very psychedelic. The first time I had amazing visuals and the second time I had all these revelations that changed my life. Ever since this experience though I have gotten basically HPPD. It hasn't effect my life in any negative way so it can't actually be considered HPPD but I always see static over everything and occasionally I'll have other HPPD visual effects like starbursts (my favorite), certain patterns appearing to move or intensify, and afterimages.

Ever since the second experience it seems as though my tolerance has dropped to less than it was before I had ever even tried weed. I have since stopped smoking every day, over the summer I smoked maybe 5 times total, and now I smoke a lot more often anywhere from 3-7 days out of the week but I never smoke more than once in any given day. (By once i mean one session and not one hit).

At the beginning of this semester, when I'd smoke I'd get a lot of tension/anxiety that would manifest itself as making me feel cold but I'd get really high still to the point where all I would do is sit there and think about shit and did very little socializing. Although, I still found it to be very stimulating. When I'd close my eyes and at other times with eyes open, I'd get minor visuals along the lines of faint rainbows of color over everything or just there if my eyes were closed. I have since worked through the tension/anxiety issue for the most part but I still get really blazed really easily to the point where I'm not social at all (which is fine depending on the situation). I just get really withdrawn, think a lot, and get minor CEVs and occasionally OEVs depending on what I'm looking at and the lighting. The stimulating effects have also decreased and I get more of the relaxed, sedated effects that I am used to and greatly prefer over the stimulating effects.

I've been wondering if anyone else has had an experience similar or if there are people who get really psychedelic effects from weed. I have heard of people having their tolerance to weed drop enormously after trying other substances like shrooms. According to erowid, weed is a stimulant, depressant, psychedelic, and intoxicant. Based on my experiences, I think all these classifications are accurate as I have experienced all these effects at one point or another but it seems that at certain times some effects would be a lot more pronounced or would be the only effect. I figure this may be related more to strain and potency.
 
I never had a psychedelic experience on weed, if so it would of been the first couple of times, where i would just dose off in a hot box'd car listening to some perfect circle, but no OEV's CEV's what so ever, shrooms will show you a psechy experience, where things are actually moving, shifting,mergering,etc.
 
yeah i've been wanting to try some shrooms for a loooong time now. i've just had the absolute worst luck getting any. and the cevs/oevs i get are extremely mild but they are there for sure. more recently its only been oevs and only when i've smoked dank.

i've heard from other people that after trying actual psychedelics weed takes on a more psychedelic feel for them. so i figure my experience of weed being psychedelic is more related to the actual psychedelic experiences i've had from the MDMA+cannabis combo. which i've also heard being quite psychedelic for other people as well
 
It depends on the weed. I never even heard of indica until '77 or so. I started around the time the Viet Nam mess ended, and once in awhile we'd get an exotic sativa from Asia. Cambodian, Thai, and Viet Namese weed can be trippy as all get out.
 
I've never done a psychedelic, but I would consider weed to be very similar to a psychedelic in terms of what it does to your thought process. DXM combined with weed is also very trippy for me.

The only hallucinations I've had from weed alone were, shit along ass time ago! I remember back when I first started it was very easy for me to go overboard. I'd do one two many hits from the waterfall bong and start having a panic attack. I remember having some very weird colored hallucinations from it. I also smoked "dro" once and was totally tripping out! I smoked it while fucked up on dxm the day before so I really didn't notice it, but I was tripping then too, but I figured most of it was the DXM lol.
 
yes, weed really trips me out (though not in the same sense as with real psychedelics, though almost as 'strong') but only when i only smoke once or twice a week.
 
the biggest thing i get are auditory hallucinations which i think i have always gotten from weed to some extent but lately its gotten way more intense. last night i smoked several bowls with a friend of mine of some really dank bud. we were outback on the patio and it was raining. after a couple hits, the sound of the rain became actual music in my head.

i've never actually tried a true psychedelic but i think i get what you mean by weed really tripping you out but not in the same sense as a real psychedelic even if it is almost as strong. i think once i try a true psychedelic i'll have the same opinion.
 
Not really, when I haven't smoked in a few days I'll get real blowed off my first smoke. The kind of high where me and my friend start talking astrophysics/mathmatics/Atom's and blow our own minds away lol. (Dude, our atoms and subatomic particle are as old as the UNIVERSE, MMMAAAANNN)
 
Yes, more so now since I've taken a decent amount of ugs of lsd in my life and I have no tolerance what so ever. I smoked a joint on my way home from work two weeks ago and it was the first time I'd taken more than a hit in a month. I almost started crying after 18 minutes of driving thats how hard I was tripping/ how scared I was. It was like I didn't know how to drive anymore and I was flying an airplane around Krypton heading towards the inevitable death of coming home to find my parents there knowing I was high.
 
I used to smoke daily, chronically for about two years before I decided to quit (weird situation) but either way, I stopped smoking for about a year and a half. In the year and a half of me quitting smoking I started eating mushrooms about... well about once a week.

Just the other day after getting back from a rave where I hippie flipped (mdma/mushrooms). me and one of my best friends decided to smoke some weed his girlfriend had given him a week or two ago.

First of all the weed was great. Second of all, I don't know if it was my lack of tolerance but I was amazed at how psychedelic it was. It definitely brought back my shroom trip and I felt a hint of anxiety I had become so accustomed to when tripping.

Before I had ever done any amount of tripping I never really noticed the psychedelic effects of weed.

But yeah, weed is psychedelic, just in very subtle ways (for me at least). The biggest psychedelic similarities I noticed were the sound distortions and my account for time. Time seemed to go by a little slower when stoned, somewhat similar to shrooms.

I never would've noticed any of this had I never tripped though, so take it for what it's worth.
 
Yes I do but again Cannabis is a psychedelic and I have used other psychedelics such as mushrooms and LSD so either they made pot more of a psychedelic for me or else I just now notice the subtle psychedelic effects from pot since I've experienced all types of doses of LSD and mushrooms.
 
no
until i combined it with zoloft
"omg the walls are dripping why are there triangles on the ceiling theyre so pretty jingle jingle"
i was trying to write down what i saw because i was so astonished.
 
I used to smoke real heavy when i was 13-17, probly an once ever 3-4 days just me after i experimented with shrooms & x I never get high like i used to I dont trip but I feel weird also alot of anxiety & crazy thoughts, I havn't smoked in about 43 days n probly wont because when I take long breaks then smoke i get really paranoid. The only thing that stops the crazy shit is alcohol or benzos if i completely sobar then smoke i feel like im going nuts i guess its just some kind of imbalance the shrooms caused because I got anxiety attacks after i fucked with shrooms for about a whole summer then I was never the same wit bud, & i was a die hard smoker.... I think x didnt cause it shrooms did with me.. I never had any weird feeling before that now I can control it i only feel weird if i smoke or have a really bad hangover from drinkin the day before your not the only one trust me
 
Yeah, weed is pretty psychedelic. I'd say it really is simply a mild psychedelic... not quite as mind altering as some of the others, but not too far off, either.
 
I think if you're a chronic smoker weed and daily life start to trip you out more and more. After I started smoking weed multiple times daily for a year, everything seemed so connected and intertwined. Things I would think of would always appear somewhere else and similarities were everywhere...
 
Never for me.
I wish it did but its effects are never that definitve for me. I just feel different and my body buzzes for a bit...
 
There were some times I'd get so high I felt like I was tripping. I actually quit smoking for a while because it scared the shit out of me. This was because I had a really bad experience for my first psychedelic trip (ego loss, ended up in the hospital), and I was terrified of experiencing that again. Now that I love tripping, I don't really get that feeling from pot anymore. I think it's mostly an anxiety/tolerance issue.
 
I have been high as shit before but I never found it "psychedelic" other then maybe hearing something that wasnt there but I have talked to other people and they are like "what you dont see shit when you smoke pot" and im thinking what shit are you smoking.
 
I've been higher than high before and gotten some cev's. I had this amazing weed for a while that actually was like a head-trip if you lay in a dark room or something, but overall no i would not say I've ever "tripped" from smoking bud before. It is in the same family of drugs as many psychadellics tho and it affects the brain in some similar ways.

And I know what you mean about the anxiety issue, i'm dealing with that now, i used to smoke all day every day, and now if i take more than a coupple hits once in a while, it will cause me to get all the stimulated effects and it's rather unpleasant. I'd like to be able to get back to where i could just smoke and chill and feel comfortable.
