5 days after smoking weed, feeling like everything is fake.

this is a really good thread and discusses so many different things we need to take into consideration, first things first, i am 27, i smoked we since i was around 13 years old, a lot, all the time, then as i got older so did the being high experience. On a personal level weed started to make me feel paranoid and have "weird thoughts" to say the least. actually about a year ago i had to go to the emergency room because i had a panic attack when i was super high, thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest, freezing cold but sweaty, i will never again be an avid smoker but i have noticed that if i smoke a tiny bit, like one hit, i feel really good, i just never want to over due something like that. so depending on the person its good or bad, its not really the heavenly drug most people make it out to seem like, should it be legal, ya, but it should be watched by the individual depending on side affects.. Now, lets get to the dream thing, Plato the early philosopher, science, quantum physics, spirituality, Deepak Chopra, bio-centrism.... is all showing us that yes, that feeling you had that life may be a dream, is real. dont be scared, dont think that you will not be able to live now, its not depressing at all actually, if anything you should be excited, it means that life should never be taken seriously, you should live the dream as you please, its your dream, in a way im you reminding yourself to "wake up" thats what it all is, if you dont believe what ive just said, look up the names and words i just spouted out. and im also an author and have written about this in two books, check them out

I felt the same exact thing as everyone else in this group. For me it wasscare scariest feeling I'venever experienced. It took it a good two weeks to start to fade away. What I'd sugges is to try not to think aboutit's alastly, hang out with friends, family, and do things you enjoy and eventually you will feel back to normal. It took me about a month to feel back to normal

Everyone please don't worry it happens to everyone you are fine just some anxiety but don't worry you just woke up to life and you are a teenager so you are fine one day it will go away

hi I am fifteen years old and the first time i smoiked pot i was only 12 years old. Ever since I have smoked, at first I didnt smoke that much when i was younger and then their came a time period in my life where i smoked everyday. Now i smoke only when im around it, and im not around it a lot but i guess I would say im around it too much. I can barely remember what it felt like the first couple times i smoked. Other than that I just kinda felt like I was in a movie or something and everything around me just seemed different but i felt good and happy. Now when i smoke weed I feel so weird. I get weird thoughts. This is kinda hard to explain, but I started to feel like I was not apart of my body, like i was inside my body but i wasnt apart of it, i would look at my hands and my body and just feel like they werent mine. I would start to over think things, i almost to start to feel like my eyes have been opened and I look at my life differently like in a bad way. LIke my life is so screwed up and i dont know whats real or not. If im around people i get nervous because my thoughts over come me. Like I cant control what my thoughts are, and i just wanna get out of the situation and go home and eat and go to sleep so I can wake up and feel normal again. Anybody else get this way?

You are full of it. I am a RN in a rehab unit and I have seen first hand how pot has messed up people's lives. Your a lucky one if it didn't affect you like these others are describing. Your just burned out. These others are not, they are the normal ones. They can get help and I would highly recommend a professional therapist to them asap. Suicide is not the answer and there is a way out.

Maybe it has changed your perspective on things. About the 5th time I smoked I started swing things slightly different. But idk

hey man dont sweat it i used to get that i mean its scary but you just have to stop thinking about and i know it seems impossible like i wouldthink out of this universe but i made myself stop and now im fine its gonna bother you for a little BUT WHATEVER YOU DO DONT DIG DEEPER IN IT AND BY THAT I MEAN DONT THINK ABOUT HOW IT CAN BE FAKER OR FONT TRIP YOURSELF OUT WITH IT TRUST ME

Don't listen to others anyone that's is feeling weird go see a doctor, this is not a game some say oh its all in your head, some say oh just exercise more and it will go away. I got sinus tachycardia from smoking weed i don't know if it was laced or not but dang my heart beat is going crazier then normal and the doctors said i cant workout and do any activity :(((( so see a doctor you never know what's going on in your body and other people don't too.

It has been a week for me and I'm having the same problem myself. I have smoked plenty of weed when I was a teen and this has never effected me  like this before. I decided to buy a dub, about 1 1/2 weeks ago, after 7 years of relative sobriety. I smoked it over four days/nights by myself. I figured out that I could turn my relatively mild high into an intense trip by analyzing my past. I couldn't tell whether I was gaining insight from an external source or the deep recesses of my stored memory. Then I started to think I was subjecting my mind to a spiritual realm. I could see -clearly- things that I normally take for granted sober. On the last night, I decided to stop because I became overwhelmed by ideas surrounding Esotericism, politics, Religion( Christianity, deism, atheism, and spirituality). I was also able to decipher subliminal and misunderstood messages. This may sound great to people who like these so called eye opening experiences but the problem l came across is memory. I couldn't remember most of these ideas from one minute to the next. If there was a spirit guiding me I don't think that it was god or an angel, or even good for that matter, because I  would have had a way of discerning it. My gut was telling me that even if I was receiving information from a spiritual source, I was way too vulnerable to misinterpretation or deception. 

Since I've stopped I feel a lingering malaise encompassing my whole being telling me "it's all bad". This happens from Sun up to Sun up. Even my dreams are twisted. I keep entertaining the idea of taking just a hit or two to lift  me up a little, but only end up deciding that it probably wont help. The only thing that helps me is talking to people who aren't quite as obsessed as me with life and reality. I now realize that people do many things to distract themselves from reality and the gravity of their choices. Maybe this is why people use drugs, fill there day with mindless tasks, or constantly talk out of their pucker.

I would encourage you to not say "f**k it" and instead continue your quest for knowledge (without the use of mind altering drugs). Avoid pitfalls, Eat healthy, Exercise, Listen to the wise (don't just "follow your heart") and don't pervert your mind with unsavory stimuli. If need be, see a professional! Hopefully this will help anybody who finds this post. While I'm not a fan of big pharma, there is a more secular idea contrary to the supposed safeness and efficacy of marijuana, constantly barfed in pop culture...

Very brief Wiki to get you started....

Cannabinoids are a class of diverse chemical compounds that activate cannabinoid receptors. These include the endocannabinoids (produced naturally in the body by humans and animals)

 

Tons of information out there on the web about the negative effects of marijuana/acid/shrooms/PCP/mescaline/Ayahuasca/ecstacy/blahblah.....  Also look for common physical and mental withdrawal symptoms associated with abstaining from long-term marijuana use.

I went through the same thing, I would suggest testing reality by asking your friends questions that only they would know, you are alive indeed!! you dont need to kill yourself to become alive. Trust me!! People in dreams dont talk at all, You will not feel pain when you are in a dream, pinch or poke your finger for a drop of blood, get a paper cut ,,, this will make you feel more alive .. i know people say choosing to killmyself is the answer, but for your case.. it does not apply .. even if all seems fake for you .. we were put on this earth to live .. just live your life happy and stop justifying or reasoning everything in your life ... i hope i didnt sound too harsh.. and i wish the best for you :)

Ok for all of those of you who have been struggling with this sense of unreality, Let me give you the answer to your problems, I too felt the same sh*t and I still do for about a year now, and this feeling still hasn't gone away, what you have is depersonalization/derealization disorder triggered by the marijuana, usually these symptoms go unnoticed and if you start to pay too much attention to the symptoms of unreality, starry vision, floaters, and feelings of being outside your body than it will get to you, most likely what happened was that you had a panic attack like me, when you got high, I know it was a very strange feeling, an anxiety attack, but recovery is very simple, just make your day a busy one, socialize, and there are some ways to keep yourself alert, sleep deprivation definitely makes it worse. See the problem with dp/dr is that it makes you think, ruminate too much about things, the way life is and frankly it isn't bad that you do this, but it's not normal, your mind quickly gets used to this behavior, so it becomes a learned one and than it becomes a habit, and will make recovery harder, but you'll get over it become a stronger person, and come out victorious, so don't kill yourself it is not permanent, you're not going insane, the auras you see are caused by migraines along with a number of other things that you see,, you don't have schizophrenia, really it's just a matter of distracting your mind by engaging in social activities, sports, and so on, for me one of the things that helped me out was boxing and mma, man took a lot of my time, and in no time, I found that I never even had time to ruminate like I did before, and bam it all went away, I know it's an indescribable feeling, and that it is f*****g scary, but dude you'll be fine in the end, the constant thinking and overanalyzing you do isn't bad, it's actually what sets you apart from everyone else, as an individual, your gifted, only the gifted develop mental disorders in a sense, use it to your advantage, stop wasting time thinking about it, act upon it and things will change for the better. Someday you'll be able to look back on it and realize what a great journey it was to get rid of it. :) I'm done,

Omg i feel like this too. I smoked weed about 2 weeks ago and I feel a little drunk and weird . I hate it But its getting better

i just came accross ur comment and i totally agree!!! i have beleived this for so long!! nothing is real and this is all some sort of game and death brings u to actuall reality! thats why weed is the one all natural drug that is not bad for u at all, and its illegal because it lets u see the truth! and nobody want u to know the truth! i strongly believe that this world is fake and i have brought that up to my mom and she assures me its not true and i think everyone is brainwashed... WEED WILL LET YOU KNOW THE TRUTH

the world IS POSITIVELY a hologram, the matrix, a dream we think is real because we have forgotten. if im lying im dying, look up biocentrism, look up quantum physics, look up the divine matrix, look up solipsism. our life is what we allow it to be, its like a lucid dream, this is what the "secret" the book is talking about, no it doesnt mean you should kill yourself! why waste such an amazing gift??!! just realize its not real, that why buddha said release all your suffering!! its not worth taking serious, thats the whole bigger picture, look at any religion and you will see this
