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

I know what you guys are going through, and it is pretty scary. I too have suffered from this problem. I have smoked only a few times in my life the last time was about 8 years ago. Until 3 weeks ago on a saturday i was at a friends house and very stupidly smoke way way to much. I was sure i was going to pass out, i got really really high and had a terrible night of panic and anxiety. I was really messed up for about 3 or 4 days. I had no choice but to go through day to day life and i think that in part helped me although it was torture to do so. I had the dizzyness and also felt like i was in a dream like an altered state. Another thing that helped was i went to my local health food store and got some ginger for circulation and the dizzyness as well as some hawthorn for heart and brain health, and some anti stress and anxiety herbal supplements that ran about 20 bucks. I seem to get a little better each day and finally on the 8th day i felt mostly like myself although the dizzyness was still present at times. Now 3 weeks later i feel 100% again and am very very thankful. I do believe the herbs and minerals helped as well as staying calm and knowing it would pass thanks to this forum. Now even if you are past 8 days and are still feeling the effects its ok becuase every ones body is different. Just remeber to stay calm get your mind off of it and go outside as much as possible, being inside seem to make it worse. Not to force christianity on anyone but for me it helped alot to get back to Christ and pray a lot and just get His peace back in my life. So to sum it up I am a success story and have lived through it so keep thinking positive and this will end. :-D

So I started to smoke weed not TOO long ago. First time I smoked was when I was 12. I had a very bad panic attack and promised not to do it again. Then, I hit the age of 14, and started doing it again. The time I started doing it again was at a friends house. I had a small hit, didn't take in too much, and didn't hold it in too long. It was like a breathe in breathe out thing. The Weed Brand was diablo. I think that's what it's called. Then later I did some Green Crack, which is another weed brand, and I had a HUGE hit of that, and started coughing a lot after. The next day after I smoked the green crack and diablo and stuff, I started to feel REALLY fake. Like I wasn't there. Like everything was a dream, and I was like.. inside of my head. Went away the next day. I felt INSANE. Like I couldn't control myself. Later, within I think.. a week or two, I smoked again. I smoked Chronic, which is a weed brand. I didn't hold it in too much, took a few small hits of two joints. Breathed in and out quickly. Then a day or two after that, maybe a few, I started feeling fake again! And I couldn't come out. I felt like I was in a dream, like I couldn't control anything, like I was inside my head. even when i talked to my mom i felt fake. i didn't know what to do, and i still feel this way. im looking for an answer or some reassurance to know i'm not going crazy. I feel like I am, and i honestly can't take it. I think I was becoming addicted to the weed. But, my life is full of anxiety and stress. So anxiety and stress don't mix too well with weed, right? So now I feel like i'm not really here. And I've looked around, some answers say it's because of the weed and that the THC is stored in my fatty cells, and that i'll be like this for two months. Others say depersonalization disorder. Others say it'll wear off, that my brain just isn't used to it, and i shouldn't do it again. I've been like this for about maybe a week? I can barely focus in school. I have to be with friends, laughing, or doing something active to stop thinking about it otherwise i'd think too much and be inside my head too much and panic. I just want out. Any answers to tell me HOW to get out of this? Lets see what other info I can list. I feel like i need to pinch myself to know i'm real. And I feel disconnected from my friends and stuff. My friend said it was like a "semi-perminate fry" meaning it's gonna last a while, but I need to not think about it or it'll get worse. Depersonalization order was taken into consideration by myself, as well. I'm 14, by the way, I said that. Answers? I don't need to lose my head. Damn, above the f*****g influence from now on.

hello there i hope i can help you with this. I smoke weed I have for 10 years (hence the name) and all my friends do too. I as well as my friend Dev have felt these same types of symptoms. I would but my money on you having an anxiety problem and unfortunately weed wont help this problem (weed will help you with aches pains an nausiea though) go see a doctor if you do have anxiety a doctor can give you somthing liek atavan to help with it. at the very least take a dope break (dont smoke so much for a bit if youre smokin alot) but dont worry you are not crazy i went through what you are for 2 years straight. if you cant handle it PLEASE go to a doctor. P.S. most doctors are cool with you smokin weed so make sure you dont leave out that part

I'm 17 and I've been smoking for two years, every abstemious day since April 20th 2008. I feel this way all the time. I am concentrated on my thoughts and nothing around me, and everything thats happening doesn't concern me anymore. I feel I've lost alertness in everything and my memory is frightful. Don't get me wrong, I love my weed, however I continue being extremely obsessed and cant break, even though everyone around me gazes down on me. I have manic depression as well so my emotions are screwed. I have the extreme highs and lows all day. I do not know if this has to do with my addiction, but even so, i wont stop. I've had thoughts of suicide on account of everything is dead around me and my routine is driving me crazy. I don't even try in school anymore. I wish I could just live in my dreams.

Hey .Im 16 and i smoke maybe 2-5 times a week i used to get that when i was maybe 12 and in my opinion its only because you have a small amount of thc built up in you body and dont have a tolerance built up yet and are feeling the effects.So there are two choices as I see it. 1. is that you leave it wear off (a healthy diet and exercise will help you get back to normal) or 2. you can smoke more and build up a tolerance so you wonnt feel the after effects.In my case I kept on smoking even though I told my self evry time i had a bad trip that I was never going to smoke again I always did.
Weed is harmless but as with everything can be harmfull in the hands of the wrong person.If you are depressed or have any doubt about your mental health dont use it. And as with everything, use in moderation and know your limits. hope this helps.

I feel the same way right now. I have every symptom that you had. Will it go away?? Freaking out here.

I felt the exact same thing not too long ago. It made me depressed and caused me a great deal of anxiety for awhile. It may sound kind of cliche but, I talked about it with my friend and it all went away. For some reason just getting it all out there and having someone understand made me feel a whole hell of a lot better. I was so happy after that, and then we smoked and I got over my fear that marijuana was giving me anxiety. So don't worry, it'll go away. Hope that helps.

Your just really aware now. Honestly I went thru it for close to a year and once I realized I was obsessing over my awareness and making nothing out of something. My "problem" disappeared

hi ppl im 15 been smoking for about half a year now but i could stay a whole week or even a month without a joint, this feeling is caused by the weed u smoke weather its tie or skunk and the mentality u have while smoking bcoz that state of mind stays with you while stoned i used to smoke trying to fight the high telling my self im not acting normal BUT thats the mistake. remember your smoking weed to feel this weird effect when i came to this stage i was smoking physiologically exited.. waiting for the feeling to get here thats the fun part questioning yourself "sh*t i think im high " na not yet " why am i staring at the wall i wouldent be if i wasn't high yeah im high" YOUR TALKING TO YOURSELF not thinking about reality about your problems or aruguments you had with so and so, ... and when that high wares of its not the weed thats giving you that fake feeling its YOU ... your telling your self this is fake bcoz you want it to be fake your brain was introduced to a default state were it was not overworking or thinking about your faults and mistakes... and that feeling my friends is just your brain and body telling you hit that default button wich is ...weed HOPE THAT ANSWERS ALL YOUR QUESTIONS


i use to smoke then not want to go out the next day coz if i did i would have the most wierdest feeling ever as if i was out of my mind and would rush to get home my heart would beat fast like if my mind was left at home and my body was rushing back to reunite : oh boy oh boy

first i will tell you about some myths and lores of indian origin, cannabis is said to have been grown in the himalayan mountains, legend says that it formed from the dreadlocks of shiva, the god of destruction and kindness,

now what you feel is true, you are inside a dream, but you should differentiate what is real and what is not,
its not this world thats not real,

but the world inside your mind, i will explain..

its extremly hard for people to still their mind, each second lots of thoughts and pictures pass through your mind even if you want or not..
and you think you are your mind

this is the problem, you think you are your mind but the truth is your mind is just a tool

and when you smoked weed you could feel that you and your mind were differnt but you didnt recogonise it, the truth is you where living in a world the way your mind recieved it the real you, the one that watches your mind the one that says this is not real, that is you

if you doubt me, just do one thing, close your eyes and ask yourself, what am i thinking now you yourself become the observer of your mind and at that point your mind will become silent and you will have peace if you have more doubts search for rabin stain in facebook and add me, ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed this is the link ,, take care

I feel the sammee! i smoked weed, and inscents and now for atleast 5 months i feel like everything is fake and were the new avatar lol

This happens to me. Wears off after a week, don't worry mate.

Dude, your body isn't used to you inhaling foreign chemicals, don't worry about it. What you are feeling is your body asking for more. If you do it irregularly like you say you are, then you will get a great "high" everytime. And the dizziness and "fake" feeling is the immediate temporary withdrawl. It goes away eventually, just make sure you eat right, if you smoke and don't maintain good eating habits: meat, vegetables, fruit...etc. then your body wont handle foreign material very well.

Hmmm lets see... A 15 year old's brain (let alone a 12 yr old....) is not done developing. Altering receptors and chemicals in your brain at such a ripe age by smoking pot is probably setting yourself up for a serious mental disorder sooner or later in life. Or you will just fail at life if you continue to smoke from the age of 15. Wow.

It could be a disorder called derealization disorder caused by anxiety .. and triggered my marijuna use
