Okay so, buddy gives me super strong gummies he made, I get high as fuck, higher than I've ever been on edibles(been smoking and taking edibles for 15 years) and experience what I would describe as mild CEVs(this was three weeks ago) Now, ever since taking this gummy, when I smoke weed it feels as if I'm coming up on an acid or shroom or RC trip (ive always felt this 'anticipation anxiety' when edibles start kicking in but not when smoking), and I begin to have mild but prominent visual disturbances. It is a very not fun, anxiety ridden, depersonalizing experience that ive never even come close to experiencing in the 15 years ive been using cannabis, but plenty of times when i used to take psychedelics. When I was a teen I took lots of many different psychedelic drugs, particularly 2ci and 25i. I have had and recognized visual snow/static and occasionally very faint and colorless spiral patterns that i remember from a certain bad trip occassionally when I close my eyes. I've always identified these as symptoms of HPPD but its always been so mild that It didn't effect me. And now, for some reason God knows why from taking this edible, smoking any amount of weed causes my HPPD to 'flare up'. Mild CEVs(weird colors and shapes moving around), what I can only describe as 'halfway visuals' where the visual snow really seems to WANT to distort reality, but only just barely ALMOST highlights shapes and patterns that aren't there, and a lingering depersonalization and anxiety. This scares the shit out of me from the many traumatic trips I endured as a teen. Now, it has been nearly 48 hours since I last smoked, I roasted a huge fat bowl to my self and went to bed, trouble sleeping cuz CEVs, and even when waking up it was still clear that there was some shit going on. Now, nearly at the 48th hour I am still seeing some strange things when I close my eyes and the visual snow I've always had is way more intense. I plan on taking an extended break from weed because this shit has made it an awful, stressful, 12+ hour experience every time i smoke. I suppose theres a chance this is not HPPD, but I am hoping someone can give me some kind of anecdotal advice or has a similar story because I am very much confused, terrified, and distressed by this. It's been 13 years since I've done a psychedelic drug and it feels like I'm going through the paranoia of tripping 'forever' all over again, just from one stupid edible which I am no stranger to taking. I feel a certain amount of depersonalization and tremendous anxiety. While it seems to be fading, the notion that it could linger for months scares the shit out of me. Just from one stupid edible.
