I suspect that if this weed was not laced, this is what happened to you. Do you know if you are susceptable to anxiety? Because the stuff that she smoked was mine, and I had been smoking on that for 2 weeks straight.

Yeah, thats what I initially thought.

But I've seen people freak out, and usually its just expressed as extreme paranoia and high feelings of anxiety, which disappears quite rapidly.

My experience was coupled with major distortions in space,time and reality, bouts of unconsciousness and it lasted a very long time. I guess to an extent it also included a dissociative aspect to it as well.

Can anxiety create such perceptual distortion/reality warping events to occur?

Am I prone to anxiety? I'd have to say at that point in time, when it happened, no. But immediately after the incident, I would panic whenever I remembered it, or if anything triggered a memory of it. And I have had maybe 4 or 5 anxiety type attacks in the past 10 years or so .... and they were in the months/years immediately preceding the incident .... and slowly went away as more time went on. I guess you could say it was a flashback and I feared the flashback and the memory.

Mainly because the flashback and memory would set off the same physical sensations again. For example, right now as I type and remember the incident I still get residual sensations that I got that day .... I'm not scared ... I dont like it ... but it only happens when I remember or think about that day.

Actually I just remembered something else that happened during the incident .... things were repeating. The sounds, the voices, the song, the movement .... so it was like everything was happening twice.
