[420marijuana420]

have you ever used any drugs besides weed? DO NOT MENTION THEM, this thread will get deleted. Just say yes or no.

[go toke up]

i wish thatd happen to me. sumtimes when sober, i get a fat headrush outta nowere and i get what seems like a buzz for a moment

[MrNiceGuy420]

no i havent use any other drugs

[birdgirl73]

And it only happens when you're not high?

I think I will move this to the Medicinal and Health area if that's OK . . .

[slipknotpsycho]

are you currently on, or ever been on prescribed drugs? (xanax, vicodin, remaron, buspar ect ect)

some of the pills the doc gives you can have really drastic side effects... like this one i was on for all of a year, now i have constant muscle spasms.. and i don't think it's ever going to go away.

[MrNiceGuy420]

no im not on an prescritions

now that i think of it...it has happened when im stoned..i just notice and probably remember it more when im not stoned

[birdgirl73]

Do you have other types of hallucinations? That is, do you hear noises or voices or see other things?

[ConfusedCannabisGuy]

i have that happen with a big black dot...ill be chilling and ill freak out and my friends are just like what the hell is his problem, mostly when im fuckin blazed tho, when im high im ok but when im fucked up, crazy

[mattks1]

sometimes i get the little thing that looks like a worm crawling across my eye

[scStOnEr]

Is it kinda cloudy looking? What you are describing could be what is called a floater.

"Floaters may look like specks, strands, webs or other shapes. Actually, what you are seeing are the shadows of floaters cast on the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye."

If it gets worse you might want to see a doctor.

[xmordeciax]

haha i've always wanted to know what thoes things where called... when me and my good friend were 12 we named them bubble ghosts lol!

Dude, as soon as I read your post I thought ocular migraine. That sounds pretty much like the one my mom used to suffer from. Check it out.

I used to get that very often....Then it stopped but a few months after I started getting migranes and have been getting them ever since.....Migranes suck!

[thcbongman]

Those are just floaters. It's completely natural, it happens to everyone, but you'd notice them more than the average person because you smoke weed, or did some psychedelic and vividly started to notice them.

[TheSmokingMonkey]

You may need to visit an opthalmologist. It could be an eye problem. Get it checked out by a health care professional. Don't fuck around with your vision... it's important.

I know you said you have not taken any other drugs but heres a little FYI.

There is a syndrome called Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder, many people who have taken pschadelics observe what is commonly called "flashbacks" generally they are not too bad, but can be confusing or scarry if you dont know what they are, i have taken only 2 psychadelics in my life, one being salvia (the most intense of them all honestly) and the other being LSA (very similar to LSD, found in morning glory and hawain baby woodrose seeds) and i have a very low level form of HPPD. Every once in a while i will get small flashbacks such as trails or really intense light and it happens even more often and more intense when i'm high!

Here is what wikipedia has to say about HPPD
"There is a reported possibility of "flashbacks", a psychological phenomenon in which an individual experiences an episode of some of LSD's subjective effects long after the drug has worn off — sometimes weeks, months, or even years afterward. Flashbacks can incorporate both positive and negative aspects of LSD trips. Colloquial usage of the term flashback refers to any experience reminiscent of LSD effects, with the typical connotation that the episodes are of short duration. However, psychiatry recognizes a disorder in which LSD-like effects are persistent and cause clinically significant impairment or distress. This syndrome is called Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD), a DSM-IV diagnosis. Several scientific journal articles have described the disorder.[34]

The issues of HPPD and flashbacks are complicated and subtle, with no definitive explanations currently available. Any attempt at explanation must reflect several observations: first, over 70 percent of LSD users claim never to have "flashed back"; second, the phenomenon does appear linked with LSD use, though a causal connection has not been established; and third, a higher proportion of psychiatric patients report flashbacks than "normal" users."

MODS: i know were generally not supposed to talk about any other drugs but i felt like this bit of info might help quite a few people! Sorry!

Often HPPD is confused with floaters. If you had HPPD, it would interfere with your vision so much, you would have trouble driving because ex. there's a halo that makes you vision slightly translucent. Floaters have to do with specks of protein and all the little bits of clutter that get in your eyes and it perceives in your vision it's moving.

I have the same problem. I was on abilify for a lil while. My doc had me takin 5MG for 2 weeks but I started getting really bad akathisia and random muscle spasms. I only get the muscle spasms every once in a while now but it is still more often then when I had NEVER taken abilify. Also, i get akithisia sometimes. Ever since i started on abilify i feel "broken" sometimes. I trip on words more often and my thought process is kinda confusing now. I dont take pills anymore, MY CHOICE. Honestly abilify made me feel that way the third day and i get that sometimes ever since. I dont trust the pharmaceuticals too much anymore. I was only on abilify for 3 months, but by the third month i had suicidal thoughts and the symptoms i described. Now i am prescription free, smoke some bud and i feel better. My temper problem is non existent on days that i smoke, even if its just once.:thumbsup: :rasta: :rasta: :rastasmoke:


EDIT:: I forgot to add that 5MG was way too high and he asked me to try 2MG. By taking 2 it just took longer for symptoms to hit and they were less frequent.

Hey man same thing! I've taken a few anti-psychotics and I am PRETTY sure I have athakisia or w/e. I get seizures too I think... idk how to describe it...like my body just starts moving around and I cant control it at all. For a week I thought a demon was controling me because I started saying weird shit without control of it too. Anyways one of my main complaints was of abilify was how it fucked up my speech and such and started to make me extremely suicidal. Anyways with what you see I see shit like that too. Just floaters or tracers or w/e they are. I get flashbacks and have auditory,visual,tactile,etc type of hallucinations too....anyways you shouldn't have anything to worry about imo.

[xmordeciax]

I was talking to a friend who does psychadelics all the time and he told me its possible to get HPPD from marijuana as well, not just heavy psychadelics... This is due to the fact that Marijuana is considered a psychadelic.

When searching the term psychadelic drug in wikipedia they say:

"Cannabinoids (CB-1 cannabinoid receptor agonists)

The cannabinoids are Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and related compounds, which are capable of activating the body's endogenous cannabanoid system. Some effects may include: general change in consciousness, mild euphoria, feelings of general well-being, relaxation or stress reduction, increased appreciation of humor, music and other art, joviality, metacognition and introspection, enhanced recollection of episodic memory, increased sensuality, loss of inhibition, increased awareness of sensation, creative or philosophical thinking, disruption of linear memory, paranoia, agitation, and anxiety, potentiation of other psychedelics, increased awareness of patterns and color."

Yeah man, its just bacteria in you eye, everyone has it.

[xmordeciax]

yea the bactiera shit is a lot diff from HPPD!.. i think everyone has the floaters

[RyanTheCaveman]

Well i do have some weird hallucinations....if taht. I know its liek thsi when im on DXM(sshhh)...and i notice that their are trials left behind when you mvoe fast...liek waving your hand or something...or watching people run by...

[birdgirl73]

Floaters aren't made of bacteria. They're generally collagen (protein) filaments floating in the jelly-like fluid that fills the eyeball. They reflect off the retina, which is why you see them.

ohh... gotcha

[Gorlax]

Yeah the only thing I can think of is like when you concentrate on looking you can see these little almost chromosone looking things moving around repeating patters? anyone know what I'm talking about. Like its not actuall visual just looks like a spec of dust in your eye. Gaah idk how to explain it but that has been happened to me as far back as I can remember.

[biohazard]

There's most likley a medical explanation for it. It could also be something paranormal. However, a while ago when I encountered something paranormal it was confirmed by others and I knew it was actually real. :s Just adding this in, you never know.

I know exactly what you mean, and its reassuring to know someone else gets it too lol! Sometimes I used to (even recently) fucking freak out about it cause I thought it might be like, cataracts or some serious shit like that. could it be? :( lol
I also get migraines like every few months and have pretty bad eyes all 'round :mad:

maybe im going insane :wtf3:

This same exact thing happened to me, only once, after the first time I smoked. The next day, I was walking at night, and I saw this flash or small ball of light, that moved in a "Z" about four feet in front of my face. It lasted for about a second. I hallucinated a green flash of light when I was high the day before, so I knew the white flash was a result of the weed. It startled me a little when it happened the next day.

[affasd]

Once when i took some ambien but didnt go to sleep I got something similar to what you described

[Jake420]

just yesterday my best friend was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and a severe case of schizophrenia, now i doubt you have schizo but it is an extremely dargerouse problem, if you start to actually have noticable amounts of hillucinations you need to see a doc imediatly, because people snap within weeks of being normal, now im not trying to scare you because this is highly unlikely that you have this, even being that you are at the avarge age when people get it which is in the 20's which im estimating you are. you can read up here its where i learned alot of stuff about it, compare things.

thanks, jake

[BOOM KSH]

Ok its not a sober hallucination, BUT

me and my brother just had some weed spots,
and were outside, when the outdoors just lit up???
and it wasnt the bud, as we both saw it???
and two people dont have the same visons at the same time?
its was pretty crazy! anyone else had this happen?

[Gorilla's Gal]

It's probably a floater. A piece of tissue that floats in the visceral fluid in the eye. If you try to track it, it usually goes out to the side. You can get one or more of these with age and they are harmless. Your brain will eventually learn to ignore them but if you make yourself conscious of them, you will see it again. Sometimes they look like squiggly lines.
