Experiencing LSD like Visuals from drugs

[skatelights]

Hello, let me just start out with saying that yes i am new to this forum, and i did make this account for the most part to create this post. i had a bit of looking around and i couldn't find any similar topics to this, so i will start my own.

First off i'd like to tell you all what im experiencing and why im posting this. Okay, so every time i weed, spice, or use ecstasy (the only three drugs i've done since my problem started) i tend to "trip out". Basically i experience visuals equivalent if not more than an acid trip. At first i was looking into how weed induces lsd flashbacks (yes i have tried lsd once) but i dont think its just that. im experiencing these visuals on both spice and mdma. I'm pretty sure i do have HPPD, but im not sure if its more than that. i do randomly just 'trip out' sometimes, even when im not high, colors will seem more vibrant, my heart will beat incredibly loud things will cross fade around a bit. And then when i am high these visuals become incredibly intense, even on low doces one or two hits of weed and these intense acid like visuals will stay with me for 2-3 hours.

Should i be concerned? has anyone experienced anything like this?

This is a common occurrence for those who have used many hallucinogens and psychedelics. It sounds like hppd to me, and maybe also derealization. The only way to cure this is abstinence, unfortunately (this also includes weed). Many people find that after using other psychedelics and drugs that over time weed is no longer enjoyable, and usually brings on intense paranoia and overall bad feelings.

sounds like onset symptoms of HPPD. weed and MDMA use will increase this further more, so i'd take a break from all psychedelics untill the symptoms subside(after a certain amount of time they will).

after the symptoms are gone use psychedelics(including weed and MDMA) much less often, and if symptoms start to appear again i'd give up psychedelics completely.

i can recall the first time i proper tripped off a drug other than a psychedelic.

it was the first time i ever done a bucket of dirt bar (cannabis resin) i puked,hallucinated,lost all sense of time,place,reality,my heart was beating so hard i thought it was a pendulum about to smash through my chest! the bricks in the wall in front of me were moving around and changing into different patterns.

i remember a random woman from the block of flats i was in taking me into her flat and giving me a drink and some biscuits,it helped a little,i then met my girlfriend and spent some time with her,eating more biscuits! yet still completely out my face,although by this point (maybe 2-3 hours after the bucket) my 'trip' had began to subside,i finally made way for home some 4 hours+ after smoking the bucket and just randomly bumped into my friend who had also had his first bucket about 5 minutes after me but we had somehow become seperated.

we walked home and talked about our experience,its fair to say it was life changing and its something we will never forget.we was about 14/15 years old at the time.

anyway sorry about the jackanory story.
