Thread: intense prolonged deja vu and cannabis

Ok here's the thing. I've had time-looping like you described. I very rarely smoked weed-but one time I did, I had a time-fast forward. Suddenly I felt like this tidle wave hit me-and suddenly I was home (having not remembered driving home). With this experience, I can see why some people will smoke weed to get through boring work days. When I smoked that weed it was with a 'water bong'. The other times I smoked weed were very different and *nightmarish*. I felt like I was trapped in a 20 second repeating loop-with no end in sight. Eventually I would snap out of the sequence, and the next one would hit. I thought I had somehow died and gone to hell it was so bad. Incidentally, I have high functioning autism, so I'm sure it messed me up that much more cuz of that.

But here's the 'good' news, I think I figured out what was going on. I wasn't really experiencing 'deja vu'...it was my processing that was critically messed up. Imagine this...you see something, and must process it...if this is not done smoothly-it would be like a nightmare. During one of my trips, I was driving, and looked over my shoulder, I saw a full panoramic photographically perfect view in the back of me...it is like I could not be safer driving with that level of awareness. But that night, I would do just mundane things, like tie my shoe or wash my hands, and the entire process seemed to go in SLOW motion. Again, it is because my processing was actually slowed way down (or vice versa-it was sped up in a glitched way).

Point is I'll never go near weed ever again-I advise people to spare themselves this horror. Plus, how do you know one of your friends didn't lace your weed with something nasty like lsd or angel dust-can you really trust them? They might just think it is a huge joke, I'm not laughing.

Hi thought id comment this is the exact same as me. I had dreams when i was younger that never made sense. Then when i started smoking weed they all came back one at a time and when stoned i could understand wat they ment. First it was just da javu like the dreams i had had was wat was happening right now. I rember one dream where i was talking to 2 people in pitch black, which never made sense. Then one night we were in a shed and smoked weed there as no light on and it felt exactly like the dream. has anyone had any simmilar experiances to that?

your quote "had some paranormal significance, i thought that if it was a warning and/or act of some higher power then the important part was yet to come"

What your saying here is also how i felt and still do like it was trying to me that drugs where bad, and that i was stuck in a loop, and to get out the loop i had to go through life doing drugs, but being me i cant resist so will never happen. Seems strange when im sober (actually i think im going crazy) but when im high it feels like a test to move up in life and actually get somewhere after death. But ill never pass cause i like it too much.

I realize this is a very old post, but I thought I should comment on it nonetheless. I, too, have deja vu whenever I smoke cannabis now. It didn't use to happen, but now, EVERY time I smoke I get thrown back into a dream I had earlier in my life. It's very disconcerting. I don't enjoy it, it makes me feel as though nothing is new and no matter what I do I will have already done it, so what's the point of doing it again? It's not fun. I do love smoking herb, though, it used to help me with anxiety and epression. Now it only makes those things worse. Last semester I went to Hawaii and worked on a farm. Everyone on the farm smoked, and they grew medical mary jane so it was very easy to obtain herb. I smoked every day all day during those two months, and that entire experience was a dream I had seen before. The whole thing was a dream set I had dreamed sometime earlier in my life, at what point I couldn't say. When I got back from Hawaii I stopped smoking, and my deja vu continued. It only continues as long as cannabinoids are still in my system, however, regardless of whether they are still affecting me psycho-actively. For instance, when I smoke, I dream, and the following day I am still in my dream but it's not as intense, and the following day after that I still am in my dream but even less so, and so on so forth.

Ive been feeling deja vu for the past two months. And even once I have predicted my future 4 days prior and I was scared shitless. It was a mindless thing I did in class, I pulled out a sticky note in my least favorite class and started drawing and thought of every detail. My thoughts were along the line of "It will be the day after the lenea festival and my room will look like this. A path of clothing and random stuff, a box on the floor, a stool with a backpack on it, green ductape under the stool, beads and some small objects that are too hard to pick up because I'm lazy. This is what my room will look like because I will be too exaughsted to put everything where they are supposed to." Not only that, I even predicted the most bizzare of things. I predicted that whole weekend, to breaking up with my boyfriend and getting back together and discovering my parents impending divorce. It was a vague prediction involving the divorce part but if I thought "something completely unexpected will happen." Its still a prediction right? I have been smoking for not that long, I started in late June of 2016 and started smoking almost everyday a month later. Everything had seen and felt way too real to not be real. I felt like I was seeing through the perspective lf another or that someone was looking through my eyes and were able to see what I was seeing. These dreams I had from previous years but cant recall the exact time from, were visualized from odd perspectives. It was sort of like the idea of inception without the main character. Ive also experienced one dream from the past from another person named Lindsely who was writing a character for a play for her school and her thinking "what if this play was a curse. Like every 10 years this play will be preformed and after it wired stuff will happen like someone will commit suicide and sad things will happen. Haha, thats just ridiculous. It could never happen." And looky here, 10 years later and I'm in the play performing as the character she wrote. I also have a case of high functioning anxiety so I'm,not sure if that factor plays into it, but it has definately affected my experience while getting high. The deja vu has reached a point for me where I will recognise my surrounding and the situations occuring at hand, but I will either not care or will care too much about it that it disrupts my work. It sucks, it really does, even now as of currently while writing this I have the same feeling, but I don't care becaaue I want people to,hear and read what I have to say.
