Cannabis triggering psychedelic flashbacks? Theories?

I know that getting random flashbacks while not under the influence of anything is a myth, but how about a mild psychedelic (marijuana) triggering flashbacks? Interesting thought, imo. THough it could be a number of reasons, maybe it's just bringing out my hppd more when I smoke weed, or maybe weed always gives visuals and ever since I've done shrooms and acid I now notice the visuals from weed, or maybe they are triggering acid/shroom flashbacks, not sure. :D But I do know since I've done acid and shrooms I get visuals from weed
 
I had one vivid shrooms trip where shadows would float and turn into bright green patches of colour and looked like they were filling up with the green before floating a little more before dissolving to nothing, sometimes when I am stoned I can remember this fairly clearly and overall I get a pleasant feeling from it, cannabis also seems to help my long term memory but as usual short term is never as good.
 
of course i believe it, but it's a shock o.O
now i can see this becoming a flaming thread so.... if there is any mods in cd anymore please close this, i've gotten enough opinions :D

Well, this has happened to me several times, first of all when I started doing shrooms, then I smoked weed a couple days later I would feel like I was tripping on shrooms again. Like an example, a recent one- On tuesday I did some acid, and just yesterday I smoked some weed and I swear it put me into a mild acid trip.

Do you think it is because cannabis is a psychedelic and it can trigger those memories in your brain through its psychedelic properties? Or maybe I just got really high cause I hadn't smoked weed for like 2 weeks? Mind you, this piece of weed I smoked yesterday was only as big as my pinky nail, and maybe it was just a combination of having low tolerance and because I have a mild HPPD and weed always seems to exagerate it?

Ever since i dropped acid, every single time i smoke weed i start to trip exactly how i did on acid maybe just a little less intense. If i ever smoke weed after molly or x it makes me start to roll but it stops occuring after about a week. Recently i had a terrible trip on 3 tabs and have not smoked weed since then because i am afraid to go back into the bad trip. It has only been 4 days since i havent, will this ever go away? Is this normal? Is it safe? Will i have a bad trip if i smoke weed again?
 
personally i haven't had a lot of flashbacks, only once did i feel like i was back on LSD(untested) when i was smoking weed.

i believe flashbacks are usually anxiety induced from bad trips and such...? i could be wrong tho.
 
This is interesting. I used to love smoking and doing psychedelics...I cant even recall how much LSD I've done in my lifetime. But I have also messed with harder stuff...such as meth...
The last time I did LSD, I had a very "bad trip". I think it was mostly because the people I was around. I could tell they genuinely didn't care for me. Anyways, I can't even smoke anymore. My life got very messed up, I am not against weed for anyone else, but for me it doesn't work anymore. Whenever I smoke, I start talking to myself, or talking to the people around me and having full conversations with them when they aren't even speaking to me. At one point, just from smoking, I ended up waking up in a completely different state out of a coma...because apparently I took a lot of pills to tryand off mmyself. The doctors say I have schizophrenia, but I smoked from 14years old to just a little bit ago. It never affected me how it has now. I don't know how to explain it. It is bizzare. Maybe it's from other drugs, but I do not know.
 
After I had a seizure smoking weed felt like I was taking a mild psychedelic but not an enjoyable one at all. I would start hearing shit, seeing shadow people and having the worst anxiety. Was no longer relaxing for a month maybe 2. i cut way back for a few week and slowly started smoking again as it became enjoyable again.

I know when I take acid I don't enjoy smoking nearly as much either. I can see how the feeling of being stoned could stir some uncomfortable feelings/emotions and act like a trigger if someone has recently had a bad or even intense trip.

Might be a sign that a little break is needed.
 
I had a flashback yesterday because i smoked a joint After being clear for more than 6 months. I felt like i was loosing it, was unable to racionalise, and i was stuck in time and space. It lasted for 2 hours minimum. Before of that i have used acid only once and it turned out yo be a really bad trip.
 
The sad part is that i wrote all of it in smallest details, i have been writing the content for last 4 hours, but i managed to click back button on my mouse right before clicking post. FFS.
