After I got HPPD pretty bad from mescaline I continued smoking weed even though it tripped me out majorly I still smoked it like every single day not really giving a shit about myself. This carried on for a about 2-3 months until my friend offered my oil one day. (Note: at this stage my hppd had gotten slightly better but was still quite annoying to deal with) So I had a few dabs with them and I had the craziest flashback more intense than any flashbacks before. The next day I went back round to my friends place and we just had some bongs and for the first time in ages I got stoned "normally" no tripping no anxiety no nothing just stoned. After this I smoked some more oil and I felt fine just extremely stoned. Since then I have never had issues with smoking weed and I dont know if it was the oil or just something that finally clicked in my head. I continued smoking pot for another 3-4 months after that with my hppd not really getting better or worse. In the 4h month of this though I found out that my girlfriend was pregnant with my baby so I quit smoking weed so it would be easier for her to quit to. After quitting I noticed my hppd got a lot worse at first. I think it had something to do with getting withdrawal from smoking weed everyday for a very long time. After a week or so though my hppd seem to start going away at an extremely fast rate. Now as im sitting here typing this 3 months later my hppd is almost completely gone. I only see the slightest static in the distance and in the dark with flashbacks maybe once every week or two at night. I guess it changes from person to person. What I have learned from my experience though is that weed could potentially become normal and "safe" again if you suffer from hppd even though listening to other people on here that does change from person to person. I have also found that giving weed up even if just for a few months will speed up your mental healing astronomically. Most of all what ive learned is to learn to laugh at your hppd rather than getting upset with it, it definitely makes it a lot easier to deal with. Hope this helped and peace

Since I got HPPD I have been trying to quit smoking weed because people on here says that it makes the symptoms worse. I have found though that every time I have tried to stop smoking weed my HPPD have gone through the roof to the point where I can barely deal with it within the pace of about a week. Then when I start smoking weed again my symptoms mostly go away. Have anyone else here experienced this?
