I'm a colossal stoner, lmao. Yeah, DP/DR is induced by anxiety as a defense mechanism by our brains to inhibit sensory overload which psychedelics, ESPECIALLY a traumatic trip precipitate. I've even wrecklessly eaten 8 grams of shrooms last summer with no exacerbation in symptoms.....I was in a particularly fucked up mentality that day, lol. I've had HPPD for five years, and have frequented this forum since 2011, it's pretty much plateaued by now, I don't give a fuck anymore. I do what I want all day, don't conform to societal trends and actually live life because of this disorder. I'd say approximately a year. Initially, cannabis made everything worse, but I remember crossing a high threshold and my HPPD symptoms started to reduce in intensity. I also supplement my weed habit with 2mg of Klonopin every few days. I eat healthy, exercise and take supplements, too. You can make half a gram last almost a week?!??!?! Lucky fuck.
I dunno, I'm contemplating quitting, I'm chasing the proverbial dragon with my drug problem, and when I'm blasted as fuck I have an affinity to indulge in any substance around me, which could fuck me in the future.
