I thought this was just me. The tingling feeling happened to me after I was really high off dabs. I haven't smoked since because it was such a scary experience!!! It was so hard to pick things up or feel anything, but mine went away after a couple of days

Don't worry I've had this problem with k2 and now weed and all it is , is because weed increases your brain activity so much and it can be horrible for certain people and the alcohol doesn't really have anything to do with it but yeah for future reference don't do anything with a mental high

Don't worry. It's all in your head. Weed can't have an affect on you a month later. Weed doesn't work like that.

Guys, I've had this for years and have just stumbled across what I think it is:

Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD) - "a disorder characterized by a continual presence of sensory disturbances, most commonly visual, that are reminiscent of those generated by the use of hallucinogenic substances." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogen_persisting_perception_disorder

It seems the guys in white coats think it is usually visual but I think it must affect other senses too, this condition sounds too close. I just stumbled across it though because I was convinced afterimages of bright lights seemed to be lasting longer than normal....

Since there are loads of us suffering exactly the same symptoms, and armed with this possible explanation, could someone please put the internet into action and maybe set up a suffers group, pressure some researchers into finding a treatment, and then letting the rest of us know? : }

(BTW For me its not related to vitamin B12 deficiency I got myself tested for that and B12 is fine. Also BTW as well I've had it on and off for 20 years so I know its nothing that's going to kill me I just have to sit it out, it's just a complete pain in the ****!)

Hi there.. I really felt for you when I read this story. I'm an old guy now at the age of 63. When I was 17 I tried a hit if LSD. A bad choice for a type A what we called a hyper child. Someone who is very energetic, imaginative, personable or shy to a degree and not totally comfortable with themselves. A little paranoid and possibly high stress. That's who I was and raised in a good home with great parents and me making bad choices. Everyone is different. But these people are most likely to have a panic disorder and not even realize the full extent until either a horrific event or use of a particular drug is introduced. Well for me it was LSD and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Marijuana depending on the strain and how you use it has everything to do with the way you feel. I'd say indica as oppose to Sativa would be a better choice or an indica Hybrid... to bring peace and relaxation. But never take too many hits at first until you can see some result.Allow time to know how it will affect you as for as body high but also the mind. I'm not saying you should use MJ. But I started using marijuana at 60 for my high anxiety and back pain. My Son is now 19 but has had seizure activity since 12. He has used it with me for the last 3 yrs. with good results. What I'm concerned about is you probably already have a high anxiety issue and need help with that. A Dr will prescribe a med. Zoloft Klonopin maybe Cymbalta Buspar... I've had them all. Or worse they will give you psychological help which will involve other treatments including drugs to calm your situation. When all you might need is to try cannibas oil or a good indica at a lower dose that will help you relax. Wine is also good if used responsibly. It's very easy to abuse all of them. I realize I was drug and alcohol free for 40+ years and raised a large family and am a Christian and seek God in all I do. Your a young man and are growing and becoming who you will be for the rest of your life. Your not crazy and will be fine in time. But don't allow yourself to be diagnosed as a paronoid scitso.
Your not and don't have to be hospitalized. Just relax and you may have to take a mild serotonin to bring you to a calm place in life. But you will be fine.
In sorry your feeling this way and understand completely what you are going through. I'll lift you in prayer and hope that all will be good for you and life is rewarding and a beautiful experience. God Bless!!

Hey. I have been smoking for the last two years now. 11 months ago, my friend made a batch of weed brownies and it got me really high. I felt like i was dying, i lost sensation all over my body, and whenever i'd move, it hurt. The effect wore off within 12 hours, but i knew that isn't how I'm supposed to feel. I was terrified after that, and started smoking only occasionally.
Then, 5 months ago a friend of mine got some Californian weed and we rolled up a joint. The SAME thing happened. I quit smoking after that.
Four days ago, i gave in again and thought that since it had been a while, i had nothing to be afriad of. But it happened again..my heart started racing, i felt like i was in the freaking Matrix and even today- my sensation of touch is delayed. I got scared and went to the doc yesterday, he said it's probably a B12 deficiency. So i did a blood test, but everything is alright.
Does anyone know why this is happening to me? I've read a few similar stories that people posted back in 2013, and that gave me the courage to type this here, since only a handful of us feel this way. If it's ever happened to you, please tell me a way to make it stop? I'm terrified.
I find it very strange, that so many of us are going through this, but not one doctor has a solution.

I can relate to all of these replies. I'm a 17 year old female and I got high for the first time a month ago. It was like nothing I expected and I had a complete different reaction to all of my friends. They were all giggling and relaxed. However, I felt everything slow down and my touch began to become delayed. I had a tingly feeling all over my body and began to panic. I was handed water and it fell as soon as I tried to grip it. My thoughts felt louder and I felt like everyone who was around was watching me. Every time someone said something to me it took me a couple seconds to register what they said. I tried to relax and after roughly 5 hours the effects had worn off.

Yesterday, a few of my friends were smoking so I thought I would give it another try and I thought it was just a bad high and a one off. This time, I smoked significantly less and for a few minutes I felt tingly and relaxed. However after about 10 minutes, the same effects as last time began to kick in. I instantly panicked and sat down trying to relax. After an hour, only the delayed sense of touch remained. After 3 hours it was around 2pm and all these effects had worn off and I felt normal again.

Fast forward to 7pm yesterday and I was just relaxing when the delayed sense of touch kicked back in. I felt all tingly and my muscles felt heavy. When I lied down it felt as if i was melting into my bed. I tried to sleep seeing if these effects would stop by the morning. However, I couldn't sleep and when I finally fell asleep I woke up at 3 am. I took a cold shower but nothing had changed. I then fell back asleep and woke up every hour but the delayed sense of touch, tingly-ness, and heavy muscles remained. If something touches my skin i'll feel it a second later. I woke up again at 9am and for only 10 minutes I felt normal again before it all came back.

It is now 7pm and I am still feeling these effects. I am unable to go to college feeling like this. I am unable to coordinate and simple things like getting changed and getting ready are tedious tasks.
Has anyone had a similar experience and knows what to do to stop this?
Does anyone know how long this lasts for?
And finally, does anyone know why this is happening to me?

Thank you for taking your time to read this!

i'm a 17 year old female as well, this happened to me, the first time i got high it was so bad(i smoked way too much for my tolerance) i got numb and couldn't feel and when i moved it was in slow motion or like a strobe light kinda way.. i also would like 'black out' event though i was still awake but i don't remember anything, this was about a year ago, after that i just smoked less and had an okay time.. freaked out every once and a while but never that bad, and every time i smoked i would get a little tingly so i thought it was normal, if it lasted long i would just sleep it off then earlier this year i smoked outta a bong and got so high that it was really bad again, at this point i just thought i was over doing it. so i smoked less again, then i smoked with a friend and took the smallest three hits ever, i felt okay,the normal tingly numb feeling. then i was all of the sudden tired so we took a nap, woke up and felt okay, 10 minutes later i felt totally numb in the mouth and couldn't even drink water, so i tried to sleep it off, it went away and i was okay.
then a week later i was driving and my whole body went tingly and numb, and it got so bad to where i couldn't feel anything or pick stuff up, i just waited it out as it might just be my anxiety, it got 'better' after about two weeks or so, and while this was happening i was on a road trip from Florida to Seattle so i was a little stressed out as was my family, but anyways it eventually went away but never fully, to this day (6 months since the road trip) i now only have delayed sense of touch and a slight numbing of the lips hands legs and feel and sometimes other places it just depends, and i actually just tried smoking again this week and was fine but it came back a little bit, i would really like to know whats happening so i can go to school and not be stressed and just be okay, i wish you well with school and everything, if you wanna talk you can private message me

The first time the tingling sensation happened after taking shrooms and space cake in 2011 the more you think about it the more tingling sensation I feel , whenever I lay down it fades away, eventually after a couple of years of being sober you don't feel it unless your stressed or tired yesterday I smoked two puffs and the tingling sensation is back not as strong

I do think its a condition that starts with weed or hormonal effect from the weed

Hey your body has canabanoids naturally. So your nervous system stimulated them. It takes exactly 3 months to purge thc from your body including innfat cells, after that it as if you never smoked. It's normal to experiment and fine to let go of the bad decision. You tested it normal part of growing up it isn't for you. So move on everything is fine lol. Weed has no I'll lasting effects so believe me a couple bong hits nothing has happened to damage your brain or anything. I promise you that. You may have an underlying axiety disorder due to the post but besides that medically you are still at 100 percent. I am 25 year addiction counselor .

It sounds like derealisation, which can be one of the many symptoms of anxiety, start by getting some treatment for the anxiety.
