Hi Holla Forums,
So I'm currently recovering from an overdose of marijuana that started at around 3:10pm (it's 1:07am now) which led to me having an out of body experience. I decided I want to write down my experiences while it's still fresh. When I say overdose, I mean that I became way too high for this to be enjoyable, and it actually led me to having extreme paranoia and panic attacks and a rapid heart beat along with extreme short term memory loss (like I lost my memory every 4 seconds) which lasted about 2 hours at its peak despite feeling like only 30 minutes.
So I smoked a joint which did nothing to me after an hour, so I rolled another one and smoked about half of it. It was a pretty strong strand of sativa and I wasn't too certain how much I was supposed be smoking, but I stopped after I had a mini cough attack which in itself wasn't too powerful, but I figured I hit my limit. I went to my computer to talk to some friends, and the last thing I remembered was sending the message "I think I smoked too much", and all of a sudden my vision just zoomed out giving me a massive FOV leaving the chat window tiny. I paced around my room to my bathroom while my mind constantly shifted, as if my mind had split into 4 sections which each had their own set of memories and I could only remember one section at a time. The first section focused on the present, involving feelings of fear at the prospect of possibly dying from an overdose. The second section involved the knowledge that nobody has actually died of a marijuana overdose, but I kept forgetting this and kept going back to section 1 thinking I was going to die, so I tried to stay focused on section 2 and eventually as time went on I was more and more convinced that I wasn't going to die.
Section 3 involved a very strange out of body experience though. It seemed to revolve around the past, where I kept seeing myself as a kid; long hair, chubby, the look of pure innocence and inexperience, and this somehow tied in with the present in that in my mind, I haven't changed a single bit. I'm still that kid. I may look sexier now, but I kept seeing myself as that same 12 year old kid. I don't know why I saw myself as 12 instead of 5-10, but it's possibly because I was in my prime at the age of 12, and then when I hit puberty at 13 my life just became a roller coaster of depression, suicidal thoughts and self-hatred. But when I was 12, I was legitimately happy, and that's probably why I kept seeing myself as a 12 year old again. Extremely strong feelings of self-consciousness also occupied this section.
Section 4 also focused on the present, particularly my surroundings and how fucked up everything looked. I no longer saw objects, I saw watercoloured outlined shapes of objects which had absolutely no meaning to my then-state. One of these objects were my pajama pants which I had taken off in order to lie down, hoping the weed will wear off faster. I just starred at them for an hour trying to figure out what significance that vivid pulsating shape was. It was crazy.
So as my mind rotated I occasionally got up, went to the computer to see how I functioned, then switched back to lying down which only seemed to make my heart beat faster and the experience more painful. At one point I rose from my bed and started yelling (quietly to myself so my roommates didn't hear me) "Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god" About an hour in I started playing Maplestory and kept freaking out about how fast time was passing, wondering if I was moving really really slow in reality.
The insane part lasted 2 hours and felt like 30 minutes. After that I started to slowly realise that I had limbs (which I stopped seeing because of how much my vision seemed to zoom in and become tunnel-vision like) and for the next few hours I managed to cook some dinner (got the mad munchies though) while talking to my roommate while constantly forgetting about what we were talking about (he could tell I was extremely high and he was laughing about it.) A few hours after that, I walked to a nearby park to sell my copy of Chrono Trigger to some guy. I think I did a good job at pretending I was sober, but I'm not sure.
I recorded this audio clip near the end of the initial 2 hours: vocaroo.com
Now I'm not 100% sure if any of this is legible, as I'm still stoned out of my mind and this all started more than 10 hours ago. This is not my first time smoking, but it's the first time I've felt it this intensely.
AMA! I'll probably go to sleep soon though, but I'll try answering questions in the morning.
