So,i also had a really bad experience with THC. I never had it with smoking but i had this twice with edibles. The first time inly lasted 4 hours. I thought maybe it was laced with something which caused me to have weird thoughts, delusions, feelings like my mind and body werent connected, my heart was beating so fast, and i just felt completely scared and out of it. The second time was with friends. The second time landed me in an inpatient hospital after the thoughts came back. I was having several panic attacks in a row. I thought i was going to go crazy and become schizophrenic. I also thought i was on a thread for my life that could be cut at any time. Once again i was having irrational thoughts , feelings that i wasnt real, etc. The worst of it lasted a week and a half while they put me on haldol in the hospital.
About a month later, its gone. Im still having a little bit of anxiety, but no more attacks, no more prescribed medicine. I am seeing a therapist and she said she treats lots of people who have had adverse effects to thc. The derealization and depersonalisation is normal with these individuals. It DOES eventually simmer down and you ARENT going to die. I still have a few moments of "not feeling myself" for a few minutes every now and then. But on a scale of 1-10 (worst) i would say its like a 0.5. More uncomfortable than anything. My therapist said sometimes thc can essentially "let the floodgates open" especially if you have any trauma or unconscious anxiety.
To those people who comment that marijuana cant do this, do some research. Hundreds of people have had this experience. It may not be the thc itself, but its definitely a reaction TO the drug. Its usually when someone takes too much for their tolerance level. Just know that it WILL be okay. I found it helpful to keep a journal. I definitely saw the decline in fears and anxiety over few weeks. Looking back also gave me confidence and helped my recovery. I hope this helps! You arent alone. :)
I had a horrible trip on weed and a month later I still feel it
