so, everytime i smoke weed, i guess i get super stoned, or well im not sure what happens exactly, but i feel so spaced out, like im in third person, like im in a movie, like i have two brains? one that is just watching the other one trip balls? its really really weird. no one seems to understand my explanations :( why is this and what is this? anxiety? depersonalization?

also, when you shotgun weed, do you get just as high as taking a hit yourself?
 
I would say depersonalization is a good word to use. I don't get that every time but i definitely know what you're talking about. That's a pretty good explanation you got up there. I guess temporary depersonalization isn't always a negative thing as it might help you see situations in a different way (such as almost for another perspective). If someone were to have prolonged feelings of depersonalization after the high is over then I would probably suggest to stay away for a while just for mental health's sake.
 
I had what seemed like a bizarre long term case of depersonalization from smoking buds. I kind of slowly slipped into this state over a period of time while smoking a lot. I think it also had to do with the transitional point in my life as well.

Things seemed to get stranger and stranger. By the time I realized how bad I had got everything around me was completely foreign and it was so hard to accept it all as my reality so to speak. Confusion. I felt very disconnected and definitely sort like I was in third person like you mentioned you were feeling.

I would definitely try to slow down or maybe stopping for a bit. If you do this you will probably get a different effect from smoking down the road. The effect I get from weed seems to have a lot to do with my mood at any given point during my life. For example, weed is not as enjoyable when i'm feeling down or a bit depressed. For me, it's not that common to feel that way, but I recognize these times and I tend not to smoke as much.

I slowed down my smoking and eventually my first LSD trip 'snapped' me out of it. I felt like I literally stopped thought to myself this life is so beautiful and I've been sitting here worrying all of this time, then I just all left it all behind and continued on. Not looking back once thus far.
 
Yea i experience depersonalization and splitting on sativa strains

That's why i prefer indicas. I prefer the mellow high. Sativas are only fun on rare occasions when i want visuals or want to disconnect from myself for some reason.. Daily use usually leads to a certain amount of distress
 
I used to get it, really enjoyed it actually... I still get it, but I understand it more now.
 
Yeah I kinda get this ...

But isn't this just part of the weed experience .
I mean like that's how it changes ones perspective. Through depersonalization ?
Cause really to look at things in another perspective depersonalization is oneee of the ways to go .

Eh? ;)

Depersonalization is a state where you're observing yourself from outside yourself. It's almost like your consciousness is split in half and the self/ego becomes dissolved in the process

At least that's what i experience
 
^I agree. there's definitely something dissociative about MJ.. Something about sitting there zoning out is really euphoric

I've eaten a lot of L and since then experience visuals and ego loss on MJ

It can get overwhelming but usually it's pretty nice

I'm kind of scared of this effect, if doing a lot of acid makes weed more potent then I think it's going to just kill the whole social aspect.
 
I feel kinda awkward when I'm really baked around other people who aren't high but you get used to it haha. Sometimes I feel more motivated to go out and do shit so its not like a zoning out kinda thing. I'd say a huge shotgun could have most of a hit in it eh?
 
I've had this sort of thing happen from being stoned before.

It happened from having a low or non-existent tolerance and smoking too much at once.

IME it's nothing like the sort of depersonalization that you can get from LSD or mushrooms. I would just go with it since there's not much else you can do.

I've also had this happen since I've taken LSD but it happened ever since my first trip and I've taken acid 10X in varying doses and had mushrooms a few times.
 
I think I know what you are talking about. I used to have nice smooth sessions, until I tried Salvia once, and every time I smoked weed since, I would get an acute depersonalization attack. Suddenly everything would become hazy and dreamlike. I would experience myself from a third body prospective, and it would be like I'm one of the people around me. I even seemed to pick on opinions other people held in regard to me.
Weed become a true psychedelic for me, and I even kind of enjoyed it, until one of those crippling freakouts would really get a hold of me.
I think there might be some event in your life that's triggering this reaction. If I were you, I would take a break from smoking, and try to get my emotional life back to baseline. Anyway, the feelings I had passed after a month or so, but I still sometimes have the sensation that my brain is physically separating into two different entities. It's overwhelming most of the times, but usually it's pretty manageable. Don't smoke by yourself. That seemed to double the effect on me.
Anyway, good luck with that (;
 
Depersonalization is a common effect of marijuana. I find it ignorable with practice, and definitely not the most euphoric effect of the drug. But it doesn't outlast the duration of the drug's effects.

If you experience a prolonged state of depersonalization (a feeling that you're not who you used to be at the profoundest levels), or derealization (a feeling that the world is fake, cartoonish, alien, or hostile) long after ceasing marijuana, then by all means do not smoke any more, and seek psychiatric help if the state just keeps on persisting. Psychosis is not a normal and healthy response to marijuana.
