How long will this last?

Yesterday with some mates I smoked cannabis. I've done it before but never got high; I consequently had much more yesterday, and evidently way too much. I tripped out really weirdly, was in a complete panic for hours and honestly thought I was going to die and/or be stuck insane forever. I smoked at maybe 12ish and was in a panicked meltdown all afternoon.

It's more than 36 hours since I smoked and i still feel weird. I feel depersonalised, particularly my legs do not feel like my own, and I'm feeling very anxious. I am an anxiety sufferer but this is different; it comes in ebbs and flows. Time still seems to be going both very quickly and very slowly, if that makes sense.

I am feeling very uncomfortable and worried and I can't get much sleep. Whenever I close my eyes it feels like I am losing control of my body to someone else. I am very scared.

How long will these after effects last? I'm pretty messed up atm.
 
Like every time I close my eyes I havee these mad thoughts going on, It's hard to explain but it feels like there's more than one person in my head.

There's this constant dull, vague sensation in my body. I feel like this is all the dream and I still haven't moved from where I was when I smoled it.

How lomg is this going to go on?
 
That's odd that after all this time you're feeling strangely. I would guess that after you got some sleep this would subside. I've never had lingering effects from smoking weed. Perhaps you are sensitive to it?
 
Hey Bobbington welcome to Bluelight:).. Im very sorry you are feeling this way. This is a very unusual reaction which seems to indicate you may want to stay away from drug use. If you want to share roughly how old you are and any other espierices with drugs It may create more helpful results.

In the mean time.. please listen to a load of music you love.

sleep, exercise, sunshine

a few days of living well will start to bring you back to baseline.
 
I'm 16. I've got no experience with any other kinds of drugs.

I still feel very weird this morning and I'm really scared this isn't going to go away. Please help
 
Hey it will go away.. whenever we ingest a substance into our system it causes some changes.. then these changes have to return to baseline. Like has been suggested I would try thirty minutes of aerobic exercise as it encourages the neuro chemicals to return to base line.

You will almost assuredly escape any negative effect. But this experience may indicate that the use of mind altering substances may not be something that will benefit you.. you never know but its something to think about.

Please keep us updated on your outcomes... have you listened to any good music you love?
 
Hi,

Thanks for the advice. I've listened to some music and tried to catch up on some sleep, but it's very difficult to get any. The feelings I'm getting when I try to relax and sleep are really unpleasant.

I'm not really feeling any better. I've not been able to eat anything today and I still feel totally disconnected from my body. My biggest fear is that something's gone permanently wrong upstairs and I'm going to be stuck like this.

I'm a worryer by nature; I have anxiety issues and that's why I wanted to try weed, really. I thought it might relax me a little. Instead I'm still feeling very strange after 48 hours and I'm really worried it won't stop. I don't know of anyone else that has reacted like this :(

This happened to me 3 and a half months ago, with MDMA. I'm still a bit off, but miles better, and still recovering. Try not to fret or look up anything online no matter how hard it is, it'll worry you even more. I was also a natural worrier and mild hypochondriac too. I think they just exacerbated these feelings temporarily. No matter what you'll get better.
 
I have definitely felt the effects of strong edibles for two days after consuming them and it wasn't pleasant. I think by now though, it is probably your anxiety causing you to be hyper aware of everything you are feeling--and those feelings are worry and fear. Try to do physical things like a hike or strenuous bike ride or something that can both distract your mind from over-thinking and can give you the endorphins of a good workout.
