Hi there. So I'm a newbie, and I have a few questions about what a natural high is supposed to feel like. The reason I'm asking is because, for me, it tends to feel unnatural, and puts me into some panicky state of mind. I asked some friends, and apparently they don't get the same type of effect I do, even if they smoke the same weed.
Ok first question, has anyone ever heard of weed causing paralysis? The reason I ask is because when I'm stoned my whole body feels numb and tingly. As an example of tingly, think of when you have a dead leg from having your leg in an awkward position in a car. It's a lesser version of that tingly feeling. What I mean by numb is I can't really feel anything, as in if I put my back against something, I don't really notice it. The reason I'm relating this to paralysis is because I can barely move, I move so slowly, and everything feels tingly and numb. This feeling was ALL over my body, on my chest, legs, arms, hands. The only place it wasn't was my face, but my face felt numb. It's like my muscles feel all warm and tingly. I emphasise the TINGLY feeling, because it's fairly... tingly haha. So, is that normal?
Another thing, is it natural to have hallucinations in your head? I don't visually see stuff that isn't there with my eyes open. But I completely zone out of it, and if I close my eyes I hallucinate in my head. It's like I'm dreaming, but I'm completely aware of it and I'm really awake, and I see strange shapes and imagery. Some of it I can relate to memorys. As an example last night I looked at my legs, I then closed my eyes. In my mind I could see my legs, but it was like a hallucination, it was like a shape or something. It's very difficult to explain, basically it comes down to: Is it normal to hallucinate in your head? Either when you're zoned out completely, or with your eyes closed.
Another thing. We were driving right. We got lost in this little residential area late at night. The driver was getting very angry and frustrating, and started yelling. This really freaked me out. His voice changed in my head. It was like my state of mind shifted, and I was hearing him differently, his voice sounded different, and it was kind of echoing in my head. It was making me really anxious when he was yelling too.
When I try and sleep I also notice that I'm uncertain if I was just asleep or awake. Which basically tells me my stoned feeling is very similiar to the things I'm thinking of when I'm asleep, such that the hallucinations in my mind are very similiar to my thoughts when I'm sleeping. I remember last night when I had both of these feelings, that I was thinking to myself that the imagery and hallucinations were related to memorys, as such that they were distorted memorys, connected to my sub-concious in some manner.
So anyways, is it natural to have that tingly, numb feeling? Is it natural to basically hallucinate when you close your eyes or zone out completely? As far as I know my family has had no history of schizophrenia, and I'm uncertain of the warning signs of that. But I know schizophrenia is related to hallucinations, and I wasn't aware that weed could cause hallucinations, so what's the deal? AM I NORMAL? haha, ok thanks for taking the time to read this.
Oh and yes I know it's normal that people have music hallucinations (I'm not exactly sure what they are, but if they're that you can see the music in your head, as such that you can imagine people playing the instruments etc, then yes I get that too) but this was way different. I was seeing shapes and images and stuff. Oh and yes, everyone else was smoking the same stuff and they were perfectly fine. Although they have a WAY higher tolerance level than me. Extremely hard to explain but yeah. Thanks.
EDIT: I forgot to add about this.. I just remembered I was really cold. It's difficult to explain, ok so we were driving, I was in the back, and the windows were down, so I was freezing and shaking hardcore. Then I was still really really cold when we got home and I was like shivering in bed, even with blankets on. And my skin felt really cold and tingly. Although I was so out of it I might have been imagining being cold.. I'm not sure.
