Has anyone had a psychedelic trip on weed?
So my journey with psychedelics may be very different to most. Non drinker, never smoked weed before until this weekend, had my first mushroom trip 3 years ago at 41 years old and have since had many heroic dose journeys and experience with changa/DMT.
This weekend I was chilling with a friend and we smoked some weed. It felt like a bad psychedellic trip. I had closed-eye visuals, paranoia, at times it felt like i was paralyzed and could not breathe. And it was very introspective and challenging - i was convinced that we had lived that exact moment before and life was a simulation, that there are infinite versions of me, that i met my "future self", and that our inner voice is the actually version of you that lived before you. It felt like i was stuck in a nightmare. I was so uncomfortable even though I have managed to navigate challenging experiences on mushrooms quite well.
My friend was worried and afterwards said that i should never smoke weed again as i could develop a serious mental disorder like schizophrenia. He said this was a very unusual reaction to cannabis.
Curious if anyone else has experienced this?
