Depersonalization especially from edibles
Many people describe a steadily increasing level of anxiety and panic reactions to cannabis. I am curious if anyone shares an experience similar to mine where, after 9 months of almost daily use of edibles or vaporized cannabis, with no paranoia or anxiety as a result and definite positive psychological and insightful effects, something changed very suddenly. If anyone has familiarity with eternalism, the block universe theory, a sense of loss of free will, this is a starting point for what I experienced. I became completely depersonalized afterward and remain in that state still. This was on October 15 2010. So I'm not talking a short term reaction, although I did have a massive panic attack, it was in reaction to the previous experience I described. I felt I was brain damaged or had had a stroke etc. in the following months, also my time perception was strobing, hence it was difficult to read. I had the dolly zoom visual distortion classic to DP DR also. My main question, and observation, is that this was not a slow build up. It was a single discrete experience followed by a seemingly permanent perceptual shift that was also the most traumatic event of my life. There were other contributing factors in the preceding months and I am sure there is PTSD involvement. Just wanted to put this out there. It's been 2 1/2 years.
