Is it normal to question reality after a really bad trip from weed?

i have smoked marijuana before but always very little and so i have never felt fully out of control of even close. two weeks ago, i smoked with some friends but decided i wanted to get a stronger effect from it. I guess since im still somewhat of a newbie, i didnt realize how much i took until i was completely out of control. i felt a weird sensation going through my face and i felt relaxed and could see things in a different more creative way. all of a sudden i realized what was going on and laughed about it even,(i felt fine again, i though i was "back") but then like 5 minutes later (tho it seemed to me like 30) i realized i was still high and the whole time i though i was okay i wasnt. i dont know if im explaining myself too well but it felt like i was coming and going and i couldnt stay no matter how hard i tried. i had no control of my mind. i know i shouldve let go but i got too scared and i couldnt, i guess thats what traumatized me: that i tried so hard to stay in control of my mind but it still felt like i was going in and out of trances. now two weeks later, i still feel bad like ive have bad thoughts and i questions my reality, i feel fine but then i feel down all over again and i just cry and feel aalone and as if i'll never be able to get through this feeling. when i feel good, i just expect the bad to take over again (like when i felt i was stuck in trances in my bad trip) Ive nvr felt like this before so im pretty scared? has anyone felt this way and if you have, how did you cope? ive been trying to remind myself that everything is real and that i have to let go of the bad experience but it doesnt work Please Help!!

    Moderation is key. I have problems with this myself.

    The exact thing you posted happened to me. I smoked about a month ago and i feel completely helpless. I dont know whether life is real or not. It feels like im dreaming and when i day dream and come back it freaks me out because while i smoked i went in and out of trances every 3 seconds. I didn't know whether or not i had just done something and i felt like i was dying and i just wanted it to end! I have really bad thoughts now.. things that i would never think before and i cant control them. they just repeat in my head over and over. I just feel sad all the time; everyday. I can act like im okay in front of people but when i start to think about it, I get really bad anxiety. I went to the doctors and they gave me medication to slow down my heart rate and make it so that i wasn't nauseous all of the time. I dont even know what to think. Ive been trying to listen to happy music as much as possible, work out, try yoga, and log how i feel each day and what triggers the bad feelings. I have also been collecting inspirational quotes that i can read when i feel this way. but know that this IS real. its a horrible feeling and the doctors said that it has happened a lot to other people. You just have to live day by day and eventually it will go away. The best thing you can do is stay positive.

    Don't try to control your thoughts when you're high, its about expanding your consciousness let it do its thing, sit back and relax, bad trips is the overthinking that is even difficult to stop after the high; this is how most druggies end up with psychosis; usually on hard drugs, but for all it's health benefits there has been many user accounts about anxiety problems after smoking over their limits, bad trips follows them for a while, stop smoking for a month and start up again slowly, the month break will give time for THC to be completely out, if you still feel anxious it's likely you triggered an underlying problem. Take your time with weed, relax surround yourself by familiar things and blaze up to get a better grip on it's effects.

    Weed almost never gives u bad trips, you have to be a really controlling neat freak kind of person, (or if ur familiar with Alan Watts than you have a really prickly personality), there for you don't let ur mind wander, you want control over it. If you learn to just let your mind take you wherever than trust me you will have a great time

    It is a drug endused enlightenment a small one I get one from time to time. Usually It's in a nano second but it can feel good or bad depending how to take it.

    I had the same3 problem. I stopped pot, but here is what most likely happened, there are two main strains of marijuana (sativa) and (indica).

    Sativa attacks the head, meaning you loose control of your thoughts and your mind races all ovger the place and especially to those bad spots that you did not even know existed in your mind and blurrs reality to the extreme, for me at least. Mostly when eating sativas this is even worse.

    Indica is more of a good body high were you feel just real good and relaxed all over.

    I stopped due to the insane racing thoughts, however I am on zoloft and have other problems with paranoid thinking and any pot or substance just amplifies this.

    If you are depressed or on any other meds- never use again!

    I question reality most of the time and I'm not on drugs. I think it's normal. It could be a side effect of the weed.

    Don't deny your thoughts, acknowledge them. There is still a world around you to have fun in, regardless of whether or not it's real.
