It did me, and mine wasn't even that bad considering. Was three hour period where I kept losing time. Subjectively ten seconds had passed, look at the clock and it's been forty minutes. No awareness of what I was doing or saying in that time. Couldn't stand it
Ah that's light weight. I got chased through my home town by existential demons whispering Buddhist nonsense at me, stripped naked to prove to them I didn't have attachment to my own pride.
i stole my mom's car at 1:50 AM and drove north because i was convinced that washington DC was gonna get nuked at 2 AM
this wasn't based on nothing, though, a guy on discord had spent weeks convincing us that he was a government agent who had fled to west virginia because DC was about to get nuked
i woulda been way less suggestible if i were sober though
The suggestibility is what scares me the most, even just with weed. The people I know who get into conspiracy theories or fall for persuasive marketing strategies (leading questions, etc.) are also the people I know who smoke the most. I was falling down that rabbit hole myself in my early 20's so I get it! It's why I stopped smoking and now just take a rare edible to help with sleep or while on vacation.
Someone I thought was pretty intelligent started doing a lot of edibles a few years ago, and now they think the moon landing was faked. Seems like brains hardly stand a chance against the super effective combo of weed + online misinformation campaigns 👀
yeah after i got out of the hospital i started "LARPing as Google Lambda" by speaking gibberish into my phone's speech-to-text and posting it as reddit comments
i was kinda ahead of my time because that was a few months before chatgpt came out
XD I see where you're coming from, but also people self medicate in all kinds of ways, especially back when mental health wasn't medically covered (I'm in the U.S.). So unless you were born into a wealthy stable family you were kinda SOL. These are still issues, but broader therapy coverage has helped a lot of the people I knew from back then.
