The fact that he says "thank you" and "yes, sir" "no, sir" so naturally really shows the type of person he is. I wish nothing but the best for Post Malone. ❤
at 1:15 when he thanks the guy and calls him a legend for taking the thing that kept hitting him on the shoulder :D That's how u know he's actually genuinely a nice person. He's gotta be one of if not the nicest public figure out there these days :)
I quit smoking too because of this. Fell in a bad depression also because I couldn’t handle this depersonalisation feeling. But after working on myself setting goals and doing mindful things in my life, no drugs drinking etc it got better day by day. Not easy but very rewarding experience in the end when looking back on it.
I just came back to smoking but only when i go to bed. Everything what you use too much give you problems. Od you eat and drink too much you will be depressed. Too much watching movies using internet as well.
@@MsKrzysioooo that’s not true. weed in the end courses depression not food or tv we need the creator and to follow our purpose in life it say in Quran in the remembrance of Allah heart do find peace
I went through this as well. Used to smoke every day and feel completely normal. Then all of a sudden it just wasn't the same, made me feel weird and anxious. Funny how others can also relate. 5 months sober now
Exactly same thing, I’ve been smoking everyday up to 6 blunts for 4 years. 1 month sober now not touching weed or hash or cigarettes ever again ! Keep going brother 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤍
These two have no idea how to conduct an interview. They're stepping all over his answers, never giving him time to expand, and they aren't curious about anything he says.
It’s nice to finally have someone shine a bright light on depersonalization/derealization. It’s such an under the radar illness that affects so many people!! Keep your head up and I promise things will get better!
Finally people it's awaking from weed use and how terrible it is, takes time to realize, I was addict since 2016 and stopped a year ago, I did it in adolescent and now I fucking regret because it really destroyed your mind, you notice all the changes when you get detox and I can't stand people who defend that s
I suffer from depersonalization/derealization as well after going through Serotonin Syndrome and overdosing off Adderall (I had also been smoking insane amounts of weed at this point so that didn't help). Over the years I've done a lot of research into it and trying to figure out what exactly is it's purpose in are bodies. The best way I can put it is that DP/DR is a defense mechanism are body uses when you cannot fight or fly. It's an eject system from stressful & dire situations. People who undergo extreme states of panic, stress, anxiety, or traumatic events tend to go through depersonalization/derealization. You become a spectator of your own vessel. It makes you feel like you are in a first person shooter. It's a living hell. It can takes months or years to get rid of for some people. Some people live there whole lives with it. But It can dissolve away. Best advice I can give too someone is to: 01. Stay away from substances that mess with your nervous system and that have dissociative traits (nicotine, weed, and alcohol). 02. Take your health/diet as serious as possible (Gym/Healthy Diet). 03. Try to find ways to cope with the stressors of your life. Basically the cliche "Get Your Life Together" package. Once you make better habits out of your life the likeliness of you feeling like yourself will increase. You might be depersonalized so long that you forget what it was like to be "normal" or what it was like before the DP/DR Onsetted. Somedays are better than others and it's not so intense. Other days it will be too intense and may hinder you from living your life. But you learn to live with it day by day. One day you'll stop thinking about it. You'll stop overreacting to how things look or feel because you'll have lived with it for so long that it becomes normal. & when you stop thinking about it and letting it dictate the quality of your life that's the moment you have recovered. I promise you things get better!
very well said brother you are spot on! I went through it for almost half of my twenties, it's a very mentally painful state to live in..such a blessing when you finally get out of it.
Lived with depersonalization disorder my whole life. It's easiest for me when I just accept it as normal. It does seem to get a little better or a little worse depending on my lifestyle but it's always there no matter what I do. Been completely sober and a total stoner, been dedicated to the gym and a fat lazy slob.. but depersonalization never goes away for me. I believe it's because I spend so much time watching screens. My work and most of my recreation involve looking at screens (my job is computer based and I love video games). Seriously since the age of two it's been screens every day. One day if I ever escape this line of work, I plan on doing an experiment by traveling somewhere and then not using any screens whatsoever for an entire year - no phone, no TV and no computers. If my thesis is correct, no screen use for an entire year should at least reduce the symptoms of my depersonalization disorder, although I fear that it will forever be with me because my brain developed while being hooked to screens thanks to video games and eventually computers. Maybe there's a medication out there that would help? Medications make me nervous though like it will unlock something even worse... but it would be really nice to make this feeling go away even if just for a while, to feel how life is supposed to feel.
Great to hear someone talk earnestly about this issue. I had several depersonalization and derealization episodes after smoking weed during my teen years, to the point where I thought I was going crazy. The feeling of seeing your own life as a movie is very disturbing. Even the feeling I had when I touched any surface would be different, like there was a delay between the touching and the feeling; almost like someone divided the feeling into small pieces and then slowly released it. I still remember when I was in the shopping mall with my dad and suddenly I started to cry and told him I thought I was going crazy. Unfortunately, this issue took away many years of my early adult life. When something like that happens to you, your self-confidence drops dramatically. The notion that weed is a harmless drug is far from the truth for many people.
Weed only enhanced what you felt and how you reacted to random thoughts or emotions you hide or keep away, this in turn can be hard to face and facing your thoughts or emotions is not easy
It's comforting hearing someone as well known and that has such a large platform talk about this issue. I first started having issues on my 16th birthday, a few days after smoking some weed with friends. I had been smoking for some months but it wasn't until this later stage that I realised something wasn't right. I remember feeling a sense of doom and panic and this transcended into Depersonalisation and Derealisation over the coming months/years. Symptoms got so bad that I had to take time off of work to try and understand what was going on. I thought I would suffer forever, but I managed to overcome it and move past it with the help of research and also therapy. I am not sure exactly on how the process works but I understand that both DP/DR stem from anxiety and in order to move past this, you need to tackle it head on instead of shying away and cowering from it. Quite simply, you do not overthink it. When you get into a state where you feel you cannot go on, you carry on with what you are doing and don't pay attention to your symptoms. The less you pay attention to it, the less your brain focusses on the symptoms and less of an issue it becomes, to the point where you can do those same tasks in those same situations and not have any symptoms at all. This is unlikely to happen overnight, however, but I managed to make real progress within weeks and I can live my life day to day now as I did before I had ever even smoked week before. Good luck to anyone suffering with DP/DR. Stay positive, things do get better.
My take on this is it depends more on what state of mind you’re currently in, as opposed to just smoking a lot of weed. It’s like when people say “don’t trip acid if you’re not in a good place in life because you’ll have a bad experience.” It’s the same thing. I was in a bad place about 2 years ago, and smoking DID NOT help. It’s just made the anxiety 10x worse. Now, I’m in a much better place mentally so any time I smoke it’s nice and relaxing. Just my two cents.
Yea, I agree. I think cannabis amplifies your current mood. If you have nothing to worry about, all happy, your mood will be enlightened 10x, but it goes the other way around if you are feeling low and depressed at the time of taking it. Let's all become sober!
Define " bad place" ? If you're talking about like not making payments or missing out on bills, then yes you're gonna freak out. But if you battle with mental health issues that are permanent. That's different. The next time you smoke you only recreate issues in your head again. Reality weed today is just like any drug. Just because it doesn't kill you that doesn't mean it's not doing any harm. Simple fact, it kills brain cells.
Post is such a polite and earnest dude. Wish more musicians were like him. Feels like someone I completely relate too, even though our lives couldn't be more different. Ya know?
@@jean-pierreraduocallaghan8422 every interview dating back before that experience for him, he has always been so kind and polite. Doesn’t seem to let his success get close to his head
I smoke everyday and even if I’ve never felt this type of feeling (I smoke like 1 joint per day so it’s not an heavy addiction) I can understand that weed can really change your lifestyle. For example I cannot sleep without smoking earlier or I can barely feel hunger. I’m so happy when the day finishes just because I can finally smoke, which for my body it’s like a reward for the day passed. It’s strange, I like smoking when I’m smoking, but I hate it before and after
@Rick C137 If you want an advice, you can try to quit for one week or so, just to understand how much do you need to smoke. I do that sometimes (I have to take a supplement to sleep properly lol) and it’s quite helpful, also the first joint after this little sacrifice will be incredibile😂
thats the "bad" reward mindset, you reward yourself everyday but you only get excited about the reward and not during your actual productiveness during the day, you will slowly start caring less and less about anything else but the "reward" and do the least amount possible, you already understand that you don´t like the feeling after you smoke ( I also always felt really physically bad), now you just need to understand why your brain is doing this so just do some research on the "reward mindset" and why it is bad, maybe it will help and motivate anyone feeling like this as it did for me.
Highly recommend Andrew Hubermans podcast where he talks about marijuana jus search “Andrew huberman marijuana” and his episode will pull up and he talked ab how I guess smoking more than 2 times a week is considered heavy smoking which I was doing WAY more than that but he talks also about the mental effects that happen when you do it so often that may not show up till years later
@@sql638 I also was in ur position thinking there’s no way I could do life w out being high. Like I thought I’d never be able to sleep but I had gotten sick and I just knew it was time to give it up and never really had too many struggles sleeping but even if I did a short term struggle with your sleep and eating habits is so worth it compared to continue in a destructive lifestyle cause like you said with motivation it heavy made me unmotivated and lazy. Nicotine did too so I had to give both up but trust bro it’s very worth it. You gotta find ways to fill your time healthfully. For me it’s working out, doing music, and doing video. Ofc it’s diff for everyone but it helps immensely with not allowing idle hands cause it’ll only lead to being tempted to return to it. Also helpful to write down your cons of quitting and your cons of continuing in ur lifestyle. Id assume your cons of not quitting is way higher than quitting. You got it bro, it’s worth it.
1:17 - Can we all just appreciate how Post took a mere moment to thank the guy, it really doesn't take much and post ensures that his appreciation is made clear. Such a top lad.
Dude. I went through a massive trauma that left me with debilitating PTSD, back in late 2015/early 2016. Had EXTREME depersonalization AND derealization. Felt like I was a ghost, like I was see-through, or not really there. Other times that the world around me wasn't real. These were not THOUGHTs, mind you, but FEELINGS that just would not go away. I'd wake up like that. Then, weirdly enough, I heard White Iverson randomly on the radio for the first time, never heard of Post Malone. That song was so comforting and peaceful for some reason, just really hit me and made me feel something good for the first time in ages. So I'd just loop it, over and over when things got bad. Absolutely instrumental to the healing process and my recovery. And it's the singular reason I became a fan, I've got all the albums now haha. So I hope you find something like that yourself man. Whatever works for you, but I know how much it sucks, there's nothing else to compare it to and people don't really know what it's like if they haven't been through it themselves.
I’ve been there. 100%. Those who have experienced it are the only who can truly understand. It’s gnarly shit haha. But you eventually, SLOWLY, come back to reality.
Only time it happened to me was when I smoked everyday for physical pain. Started getting regular exercise and now I only smoke when I know I've got nothing to do. Every single high is different but most of the time I get super focused - great for games and general reading especially scientific papers I would never read other wise. A drug is a tool, can be empowering if used correctly. I'll never quit though, it's the only reason I'm still alive today.
I'm so happy he's talking about this. Depersonalization is a real thing and I had to quit smoking weed because I had a major panic attack from it. Also, I had a patient go into psychosis just from smoking laced weed once.. whole life changed from it. Cheers Posty
I like to deal with my problems sober and then enhance my life on occasion with cannabis. Makes my life way more fulfilling and fun in a positive manner
I dealt with the same exact problem with weed in 2020. It started to give me panic attacks/heart palpitations. I went to the ER like 3 times just to be told I was having a panic attack. They threw anxiety pills at me but that is only supposed to be a temporary aid. The only way to truly deal with stuff like that is within. You start by understanding how panic attacks work on a scientific level. This helps PA's from getting worse since you know it won't kill you and it will just be uncomfortable until it passes. The next thing is to figure out what is triggering it for you. Weed can accelerate panic attacks but that doesn't mean it's the source. For me, it was losing control of my life which also made me realize I had some depersonalization disorder as well. Working out was the one thing I could control and actively see results from it so that helped me immensely on my journey to getting rid of panic attacks. Took a year before I could smoke weed again without attacks. Post Malone doesn't seem like the healthiest dude and neither was I when I was dealing with all of that shit. I don't know him personally but he probably has some similar issues going on since I can relate so much and having a healthier lifestyle would help fix a lot of that anxiety. Instead of "making it work" he should face it and figure out how to overcome it.
Same story and I also thought the weed was laced but it wasn't. My wife smoked it later (I told her not to) and it was fine. But like him, it flipped my world upside down. It's not the weed. It's anxiety. But I haven't touched weed since.
@@REAPERMania I had it too it is the weed. The weed triggers disassociation which triggers panic attacks. After you had your first panic attack you become hyper-vigilante and get them again. We went 180 from "weed bad" to "weed always good", these days you can't say anything negative about weed, but people need to know the truth is somewhere in the middle. I am older than some and out of all my homies that smoked a lot of weed I would say a good third at least had bad experiences and panic attacks at some point.
more accurately the THC in weed.. just get ones that has low THC and you will be fine as long as u don't do it everyday. i live in a country where weed is illegal and the only weed strain here is atjeh which is in my opinion, a very bad weed strain because it contains 0% cbd and 10% THC. the Narcotics bureau stated that they will never want to legalize weed because of the strain that grows here has only THC content in it which can trigger psychotic tendencies and mental dissorders.
Just read your comment and was wondering as way before smoking I’d get chest pain and always said it felt like I was having a heart attack, now with smoking I’ll have joint and after that have a crippling sensation and I have to put weight (eg arm) over so it doesn’t feel as bad. So is this similar or the same as what you experienced.
I'm going through the same thing right now. I got quite high last week Friday and had a panic attack, then after 2 to 3 hours, I was okay. But 3 days later I started having anxiety issues. It's almost been a week. I have frequent heart palpitations, but slowly, they're becoming easier and slowly I'm feeling better. I went to the hospital 2 days ago, and the doctor told me nothing was wrong with me. I just shared my story because I know loads of people might be going through the same thing now. But I KNOW, that I'm gonna be fine. Sometimes the feelings get soo bad that you feel like you're going crazy or you're gonna die, but you won't. It gets better. I don't know for how long I'll feel this way, but I know NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, And that's what comforts me. I'M GONNA BE FINE. AND SO ARE YOU. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. AND YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS. Just find something that works for you. Could be a hobby or anything other thing. To keep you distracted. My doctor told me to just give it Time and I'll be fine. Alot of people in the comments have gone through the same thing, And they know how we feel because they've been through the same thing. Just give it Time. I love you soo much sis/bro. You'll be alright. (This video just popped up in my recommendations at the right time lol, needed something to make me feel better and it has). Love to you.❤
cringe af i just got a laugh out of reading this 😂 man said he went to the hospital over HEART PALPITATIONS 😂😂😂 shit that every human being gets… Sad how people act like weed is giving them ptsd but all they feel is heart palpitations. Dawg you haven’t seen the half of real anxiety just be thankful
I was also in the hospital a few days ago for the same exact thing. That's fuckin crazy. Doc said I'm fine though, I've smoked daily for over 10 years and all of a sudden it's just not reacting well with me. I'm putting the weed down for now to focus on other things in my life. Thanks for posting this bro, it's crazy to see how many people have felt this same way. Love n light
@@heavenshound6775 …. I cannot emphasize enough just how ignorant you sounded. If YOU truly know how horrifying anxiety and panic and such feels then I implore you to reassess your analysis and judgment of said reaction you had this to the OPs statement. You, who of ALL people, have had such a familiar relationship with anxiety, etc. will no doubt understand how terrifying fear is PERIOD! Unless we are that person, one is not qualified to quantify the amount of terror another individual feels. Let us raise each other up and as it says in the Bible, seek first to understand rather than to be understood, first; as difficult as that is because like you, I want to tell my story, as well! However, restraint is most important when it comes to the karma of others hearing our story. I pray YOUR story will be told and witnessed, as well. However, let us strive to first be a friend. Then, the universe may be more willing to send us a friend, as well. Okay. So, let’s not compare pain because at the end of the day.. pain (especially, emotional pain.. is subjective). 💜🌍🌈
I'm glad hes talking about it. I used to get high sun up to sun down then for whatever reason it flipped on me and wasnt a pleasant experience. I would get horrible anxiety and an empty feeling no matter what I smoked or how much. And before I get the comments, I'm an organic grower with 20 yrs under my belt, I've grown more varieties than most ppl can name and it didnt matter which I used. High thc, low thc, higher cbd lvls and whatever. I'm about 2 weeks sober rn and id say the majority of it just stopped. I still wanna get high but I know the effect wont be what I think its gonna be in my head. Wish I hadn't gone so heavy in my early yrs so I might have been able to enjoy it now
I started smoking 20 years ago as a teenage, got addicted to cigarettes. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
Would like to know from those who have solved PTSD and anxiety, if they have solved it definitively and how to understand what quantity of psilocybin to take and when, for how long. And can you really heal without having an addiction? Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)
I stopped smoking pot because I had an episode of psychosis. I've never felt such a mixture of anxiety, panic attacks and unwarranted fear. I feel much better without marijuana. I don't drink alcohol either. I changed my diet to carnivore/keto. I take supplements such as lots of magnesium, potassium and vitamin D3. I feel insanely good not only physically, but also mentally. Take care of yourselves. You can live without pills or drugs and cope with difficult emotions. ❤️
Me too. Smoked weed every day for 18 years...last few years it made me very paranoid. I took a lot of LSD and Mushrooms and they never made me paranoid like weed did. People underestimate weed, it is a strong drug. I too changed my life and went on Keto with mostly carnivore diet and take a whole bunch of supplements. No alcohol or drugs for me...i do take mushrooms every now and then for spiritual reasons. Drugs are all poison.
Think it’s a little wiser and better to use thc then to eat meat .. makes no sense . It’s a plant great if it doesn’t work for you . But saying your doing better by quitting weed and eating meat is funny
@@joshrandall8917 You're in denial. and not understanding where he's coming from. Weed doesn't create depression or mental issues. It's enhances mental issues . Just like Alcohol does. Weed isn't just a " Plant" you find in the woods these days. Weed has many chemicals by ppl and dispensaries to keep it all fresh. Those chemicals can have a major affect on your brain. If you're someone who smokes a joint every 4 months, you'll be fine and want notice much. But abusing weed, smoking Os a month or how ever fast you smoke, and you have issues, will deteriorate. Weed is a harmful drug to the sense it slows down your reaction time, makes you lazy, makes you eat alot. It's just like alcohol. and believe me in my 20 I never wanted to believe that.
Really refreshing to hear someone like Post talking about this & everyone in the comments able to relate - you really feel like the only person in the world going through these issues. Like everyone else, smoked weed heavily for years through university. Initially started with heart palpitations which were causing panic but when I realised it was anxiety, I was able to deal with it better. Fast forward 7 years the heart palpitations don’t happen anymore, but I know have severe head tension which causes me to jolt, like an electric shock to the head. Blood tests etc all fine but now impacts me daily. Used to only get the feeling after smoking weed, now it’s everyday. Just wish I could feel normal again as it’s really impacting my daily life now. Lost my job this year which was a really well paid job through making stupid decision and been on a spiral since.
It’s crazy how this happens to a lot of people. Not talking the horrible possible laced experience, but with regular weed in general. You have to sample until you find a strain that works for you. I used to just smoke whatever, at any given point. That brought on a lot of anxiety. Everything turned full circle when I narrowed down the 3 or 4 strains that agreed with me.
I've realized that weed just isn't for me. I had access to pretty much all kinds and yeah, some didnt cause much anxiety but 90% of it did and took me to dark places. I think it's just not meant for some people just like alcohol but I have nothing against it.
The fact that my favourite artist has come out as sober is seriously going to help me take the same step myself once and for all. I've known what I have to do for a while but I just haven't taken that big step.
In this same interview he admits he rips almost 20+ cigs a day & that beer pong is one of his favorite games to play so idk what your idea of being sober means
I think quitting cigarettes and beer is better than quitting weed. Smoking weed forces u to be uncomfortable and u have to learn to hold yourself in any situation. It helps every aspect of life when u r not high u r even better socially.
Went through the same. Smoked everyday, all day. Got so depressed and wanted to stop but i felt like a addiction to it. Felt like i was just watching a movie of my life instead of living it. When you smoke you get a shot of dopamine and will get addicted to that and it turns into a endless circle of realizing your not happy any more and when you wake up feeling the want to, to quit but quickly grab the pipe or bong cause you cant resist it.. and the weeks when i finally threw what I had left in the trash, was very very hard to get through..the huge emotional swings and depression and withdrawals sucked! But now its been 3 months and I'm feeling way better about myself and my life! If you feel the same way, trust me, just get rid of it and grind through the coming off part and things will get better. I promise!
This video and comments like yours have been really helpful to me. I've been sort of backseat driving my life the past few months, where nothing I do really makes me feel anything, and if it does it's meloncholic depression. I hadn't really thought about the fact that my weed use has significantly ramped up to where I can't even get high for more than minutes given how many times a day I smoke. The general disinterest I've had has really weighed on me, and I've hated myself for resenting the people around me because they don't understand and can't help. I think this coming into my recommended is a sign to ditch the rest of my weed and just live for a while. I'm glad you were able to get better, and think it's about time for me to as well
Experienced the same thing with weed years and years ago. Still smoke occasionally and sometimes it hits me right and I’m good and happy. Other times I wonder why I even bother as it sucks me out of reality and into a living hell. It’s awesome that Post openly talks about this.
Yeah it’s weeds with high thc content and low cbd that induce the paranoia, anxiety and dpd u should try a low thc high cbd strain see how u are after a hit or 2
I am 45 years old. I like a little weed here and there, especially after a few beers, it helps me stop drinking for the night. I was daily pot smoker in my 20s and it often made me anxious AF. I quit for almost 10 years in my 30s. I think people are just taking too much. No need to be ripping bong hits or smoking blunts with the chronic. Just take a small hit or two, get lifted and enjoy your high.
This is how I smoke now. I can’t smoke weed by itself and nor can I smoke large quantities. I have a good evening with some drinks, maybe a few hits on a j and a couple more drinks and I feel pretty damn good. Weed alone is a big no no for me.
Its not just about smoking too much. I didn't even smoke that much. A lot of panic attacks come from anxiety and stress in life. Weed just highlights those problems more and can trigger a panic attack. I quit smoking weed for a year to work on myself since I was dealing with panic attacks. I can confidentally say that I can smoke weed again without problems.
I totally agree. Also, people don't pay enough attention to the strains they are smoking. that, along with what Boardwalktoke mentions can lead to some bad experiences.
Yup. I can’t speak on the old quality of weed bc I’m only 20 but this new stuff is potent and is a drug lmao. Ppl treat it like it’s not but it is maybe that’s why people are tripping out 🤷♂️ has never happened to me though I think I got close once. Me my buddy and a girl we had the girl roll the blunt maybe with like 1-1.5 grams nun major. For whatever reason I got so high and tired it was a chore to talk 😂. It was odd bc I was a regular smoker at that point. Haven’t been that high since even with tolerance breaks and have only been that high once. Not depersonalization but weird
I had the same exact thing happen to me. Smoked weed constantly all through my teens, now I get the same exact experience Post Malone is describing here.
It’s the strangest thing tbh, happened to me last year with some weed I had got from the dispensary. Remember heavily heavily feeling like I was spectating myself, I know that sounds weird af. Also remember intense feelings of my life being completely scripted, as if everything has already happened and I am just simply playing out the script if that makes sense. Anyways it lasted like hour and a half and I stopped smoking after that, it was so weird too because when it happened I was driving, and after about 3 min of taking the hit of weed I remember the feeling came on so strong and as it came on I got pretty anxious and started praying and the second I started the prayer the sensor started going off for when the passenger hasn’t put on their seat belt. But no one was with me at all and that seat belt sensor was going off until I finally just strapped the seatbelt on for the passenger side and it went away as soon as I did that. I just thought it was odd that the sensor started going off almost immediately after I started praying. Was a really strange experience.
Crazy story Post Malone helped me realize I had depersonalization and Derealization I was feeling the shit for weeks and NOBODY IN MY HOUSE understood me and thought I was just tripping then boom I watch this interview and he explained it and said what it was now I'm on a learning journey thanks Posty ♥️💯
I had this happen badly when I was 16, living a stressful home life and getting stoned 2-4 times a week. I woke up one day and it felt like everything was fake, it was horrible! I quit weed and I was slowly getting better for a few months and then it stayed the same. After roughly six years, I found out that I have moderate sleep apnea as my bottom jaw isn't aligned properly (and was partially choking me in my sleep every night). I have been using the CPAP for six months and this feeling is going away one day at a time! Using the CPAP is the only thing that made a significant difference for me. I know that using cannabis reduces REM sleep and so does sleep apnea. So my theory is that using weed chronically, as well as having interrupted sleep (from the weed and sleep apnea) caused this. Please get a sleep study to check for sleep apnea if you have this issue! I am not fully back to normal-but I'm getting better one day at a time.
Hearing people discuss depersonalization is awesome because for so long I thought I was alone, going crazy, losing my mind etc. It can be a dark place but it can also get better
I've had derealization for 38-39 years and it's non-stop. Not even for 10 seconds has it gone away. Not that I'm happy to see that someone may have it, but it is comforting to know that others have had it, and still may. Misery loves company I guess. Travis Barker's son was saying that he has it too. It's just such a disturbing feeling. In my opinion, I think it very well may be that your soul leaves your body since you had experienced something which was traumatic FOR YOU, not necessarily for another person. It's a way of dealing with something that is so traumatic that u are unable to stay within the present moment as you cannot emotionally handle realizing that the experience really has just happened to you whether u accept it or not.
Videos about it on RUclips help alot...keep yourself around positive energy and be the best person you can be. Some of what I just said may help atleast dampen the blow. ✨
I'm on day 8 a sobriety from Cannabis myself and I can actually tell the difference in Post Malone's demeanor, Clarity, speech pattern and everything versus him a couple years ago when he was probably smoking a lot of weed lol
Sorry but these interviewers are absolutely terrible. He speaks so well and shares some really personal interesting stuff and they have no idea what to do with it
I relate to him so much with this. I used to smoke a lot, and one day in 2019 it put me into an absolute tailspin where I didn’t feel myself and had to go to a doctor. It would cause panic attacks that would cause me to faint, and I haven’t touched it since. I’m not saying it’s bad for everyone, but I have no desire to do it again, ever, because I thought I would never get out of that feeling I had. It really messed me up for a long time. That said - this podcast seemed so unprofessional. Too many sidebar conversations. I’ve been on podcasts, so I know it’s more laid back - but this isn’t good. I just wanted to connect with what Post was saying, and these guys just kind of were creating chaos around a serious situation.
Same exact thing you described happened to me, I feel you bro. Had to quit and it all went away, thank God. Prayers going up for everyone struggling to come out with a victory. Keep your heads up, sometimes it takes time but things get better, don't ever give up, in our Lord Jesus Christ's mighty name I pray 🙏🏽 Love yall ❤️ let's get thus win
@Hendrix Lamar You're only proving his point and you said it " Stress, Bills" ect, as you grow out your teens, and live on your own,that's all life is , stress. Better off not smoking ever again.
@Hendrix Lamar Yeah it definitely depends on your mental state for sure. But my overall point is, abusing weed like an alcoholic does with alcohol, it's basically same results. I'm saying drinking isn't not good for your either if you're depressed.
Can’t believe so many people had the same feeling as well. I was a heavy user a couple months ago, had slight depersonalization and anxiety after mixing with shrooms one time (if your gonna do this please be VERY careful). Afterwards I realized that my lifestyle had to change. Now i’m prioritizing sleep, meditating, exercising regularly and I feel great. So I wanna say this to anyone is going through this, you are going to be alright! Lay off the weed, have no fear and show yourself some love and care!
This is exactly how I quit weed, it’s bad shit, no one’s can see that, what post was saying was my exact experience, it’s refreshing to see I’m not the only one who had this with weed
Had the same exact thing happen after an edible I took. Panic attacks, derealization, Depersonalization, sever anxiety for years. I never smoked or did weed after that incident and after a long time I started feeling better. At this point I’ve accepted some lasting effects but I feel waayyyyy better than I did for that first year.
Yep dude same thing. I went into extreme depersonalization with anxiety and depression that lasted for years. My life was a living hell feeling like I was watching outside of my body watching my life fighting to survive. I had to rebuild myself. It took me 4 years to fully recover and I’m on year 5-6 living my life sober, never touching that shit again. I didn’t get off scott free, I have to take lexapro, Inositol and vitamin d to keep me stable.
It ain't for everyone. I heard of a guy who tried one small line of cocaine for the first time and gave him a heart attack and died right there. Some people have bodies that can handle certain things, and some people have bodies that cannot handle certain things.
Yeah weed can fuck ur brain up i wish i knew about the derealization stuff before i smoked, i had a panic attack and its been a year now and i get it time to time at work.
To each there own. I tried smoking all day every day. Made my anxiety go nuts, swapped to smoking when i woke up and once after work and it actually helps with my anxiety.
Used to smoke everyday and can def say that it affects your nervous system to a deep level of overdone. I think moderation is key to life. This 100% applies to weed and many many other things in life. To be present the biggest priority should be your diet and exercise. Truly this makes that feeling go away and you just come back to reality. Even too much sugar intake is bad tbh. You gotta find your balance of instant gratification vs delayed. You can earn things such as getting high after a long month of work and getting a lot of stuff done, because at that point you know what you are doing is a reward for all the work you did. I think this mindset keeps you grounded and in touch with reality.
I've known Post for many years. Here he is describing what we have talked about many times over the years. Only someone that has this experience knows what's he's talking about
Had the same thing happen. Smoked for years. Suddenly every time I smoked I was having panic attacks and then sober or high I felt I was just watching life pass me by. Even began to research depersonalization disorder as well. Crazy I haven't thought about it in about 2 years since finally quitting. Quitting felt way harder than it should have since I always was told it's not addictive. I still think about smoking or being high regularly but I try to remember the feelings I felt that made me want to quit.
It helps to remember those feelings. I actually wrote down the reasons why I wanted to quit and why it made me feel like shit, and when I got the craving I’d actually read it and immediately be like no thaaanks dont want that feeling again
I was a heavy smoker and I totally get that “just watching your life happen” feeling. Think I figured it out. The human body has evolved to receive pleasure/satisfaction from solving problems and accomplishing tasks. Smoking allows apathy but in all areas of life. That’s why it makes a great safe and natural medicine for health problems. It’s not that cancer/anxiety/depression is solved it’s that management is easier because it calms the pain and the dread balanced or makes you say “fuck it” to the things that cause anxiety. So even when you are doing the tasks you don’t get the same “life giving” payoff pleasure from solving problems something our evolved bodies require for a “lived life” as opposed to a “watched” one. What do you all think?
@@jeremiah8973 indeed it does. A change in perspective can be life changing. I think it all goes back to post survival time period. Our caveman ancestors lived during a time of survival. Every day was spent getting to the next hour. But as fire and weaponry were discovered and invented it lead to harnessing it. We stopped being gatherers and we started cooking which greatly improved survival stats. We were able to hunt instead of just being hunted. We consumed higher levels of protein which powered are efforts of survival. From there they combined energies for the creator good which led to the rise of civilizations. All these things happened because their was a life saving payoff at every turn. So many years have passed until now but the constant has been “solve problems, sustain life”. Unifying the European kingdom, The industrial boom, the internet, these all solved great problems for the majority. Sure things go awry each time a new period happens but the creator good is served. That’s why the only achievement left for the super rich is to leave a legacy, something that solves a problem for a majority. But it’s in our dna, we need to love problems for fulfillment and more importantly to keep from extinction
@@555dino I have found, so far, that it’s our DNA. And by fighting it we whither and die purposeless. You can’t just exist in life and feel good. It’s not possible. It works against the code that makes us human. It doesn’t have to be major either. Changing your own oil in your car, learning to cook and then inviting friends over for a meal you prepared, fixing something in your house, giving someone whose homeless some food. Try anything that helps solve a problem for you or someone else and pay attention to the feeling that proceeds. Use that feeling into the next task. I swear to you, that I have gotten off a laundry basket of medications living this way the last two years of my life. I’m getting teary eyed just explaining it because I know that if and when it’s applied by any reader of this then they too will feel true joy.
Yup there too.... Meditation is so powerful to help these issues for peeps that used to smoke or party and feel anxiety in any way..... Calms the inner storms and just feel good overall now
Crazy! Im 6 months sober! I started experiencing depersonalization when drinking alcohol and withdrawing from alcohol. I feel pretty good now. I never hear about people talk about depersonalization.
Maybe finally we can get some more sober representation within the celebrity circle. It's actually really hard to make friends when you don't drink or smoke weed. People think you're crazy.
Thats insane the exact same thing happend to me. Smoked weed all the time one bad joint and i didnt feel like myself. I quit since then and it took me a few months to get over it but weed is dangerous stuff.
I quit weed last friday after 25 years as a heavy smoker. Man, Im sweating, crying, freezing, feeling insane, cant sleep and I now start to see the world again. Its awful and fantastic at the same time. To all the youngsters out there. It aint worth being a pothead. Pick yourself up before your life has past you. Cheers
Depersonalisation is one of the weirder parts of anxiety/depression. You can be in a deep conversation with somebody but equally feel so disconnected, just watching yourself speak, not taking anything in, feeling numb and elsewhere.
Same thing happens with antidepressants. I had this experience with them, but not weed. It treats people differently. Surely my consumption was factor though.
@@AmandineClaireDubois interesting, I'm on them for the past 3 months or so...they are a bit weird, Mirtazapine I was given. How are you doing now dude? You been OK?
@@philcourty I've been off of them for a little over a year. I quit weed shortly before I went on them too. I had some bad withdrawl effects from them. I also never had any such effects when I stopped using cannabis.
I had my first experience with depersonalization after very bad shroom trip. For me the anxiety I have now is worst when I feel like I may lose control of my body or emotions. Any mind altering substance triggers a fear response if I can’t immediately get myself to “feel sober”.
Bro I had a very very bad shroom trip 2 months ago and struggled with depersonalization and still struggle with really bad anxiety. How are u now? How long has it been?
I had a very bad trip after shrooms as well last year around July. Lasted for months, I didn’t finally start feeling myself again for almost an entire year. Went through an extreme panic attack (never had one before this) and ended up in the ER with the same panic attack 3 days later. After that, I had cyclic vomiting that occurred every two weeks or so with heavy chest/upper back pain and anxiety I couldn’t seem to budge. After therapy, taking a break from all substances (weed, vaping, drinking, etc.,) for a couple months, I finally got back into a better state of mind. Therapy definitely helped deal with emotions I was feeling and the anxiety I was constantly having. I got so caught up in not wanting to be in that state of mind that I was during that trip, and anything out of my daily routine would set me into a downward spiral so fast. I can say it did get better for me though, don’t be afraid to get help if you need it!
Ever since I stopped believing I had depression and anxiety, My life is starting to get better each day . I was just scared of the world , now that I’m hitting the gym and facing my fears .I’m more happy . I didn’t have any mental health issues, I was just scared to live my life . Thank you Andrew Tate for opening my eyes .
@@loneleo0820 it’s the truth , he gives good advice . Maybe listen to his podcasts some day , instead of believing everything the media says about him .
@@topg4564 I feel like you are drawing a lot of conclusions without knowing me. People can give good advice just as much as they can put out biased advice. Andrew Tate believes that just because he has wealth and happiness and a million other things that makes him content it means he is right, not always the case. I’m glad people have there own opinions so I know what to steer clear of.
@@loneleo0820 that’s your opinion, the advice he talks about, i have input into my own life in real time and it’s been working, might not work for someone else’s but it’s working for me so far and honestly what other you tubers are out there that are like him ? There isn’t any , all the other you tubers just vlog about there happy lives and tell you they care about you and tell you to be happier but they never give advice to people.
I've had life altering panic attacks from smoking highly concentrated THC oil for 3 years. Ended up in therapy. I've never had them in my life but after not smoking for a year I'm much better off.
@@bombpenguin29 Literally just think more people gotta do medium THC weed more. They made that mf shit too strong and we finally found the wall where it starts to hurt some people. Think about how crazy that is, in nature, or even like 40-50 years ago, 2%-5% THC was all there was, and our grandparents sure seemed blazed and happy
I think this is what’s happening to me right now. I’ve been smoking for years but I’ve also vaped thc oil for years and just recently something had been happening to me. I’ve been so anxious about shit recently and feel more and more panic attacks coming on (haven’t had a full one in a while) and I don’t know why haha. I’m afraid to see a doctor about it because I don’t wanna take drugs lmao.
@@Bludgeoned2DEATH2 THC suppresses the nervous system. Over time it will actually have the reverse effect and it goes nuts, especially the Vagus nerve. Stop smoking immediately and look at getting therapy just to talk through the recovery. My anxiety attacks stopped after about 3 months but full recovery has taken almost a year.
@@Bludgeoned2DEATH2 All a doctor is going to do is give you Anxiety medicine which in reality is only supposed to help alleviate the symptoms of panic attacks until you get it under control. Not to stick with them for the rest of your life. You need to reevalute your life and see whats causing you so much anxiety. Try to understand your body more and what you want or are afraid of. Take care of yourself.
I’ve only quit smoking weed 1 time when I was in a 15-month juvenile program. After about 2 months of being home, the social pressure finally got to me. The first time I smoked, I got so high it felt like I was on an acid trip (and this was before ever doing acid). The initial anxiety/paranoia I felt was insane! I ran home and hid under my sheets - I was terrified! After that, I built a tolerance, and now I smoke every day, but every once in a while that same feeling of paranoia will come back to me. So I’ve made up my mind. I have a 4 day weekend off work and I’m going to use it to quit smoking 🤞 I plan to go a whole year at least. Wish me luck! EDIT: I attempted to quit smoking but failed the first time. I didn’t mention I was also addicted to cigarettes, so trying to quit both was rough. Although I failed in my original plan, all of your comments convicted me to try again! I decided to quit all nicotine, including blunts, a month ago and I’m still going strong! Today is Day 5 with no weed too!! Starting to get those crazy vivid dreams, and the urge is still there, but if it wasn’t for you guys asking about me I would probably still be smoking, so thank you everyone!!! 😊❤️
Goodluck man. I sometimes get really paranoid from weed as well when I smoke and start having existential crisis and freak myself out with deep thoughts about everything around me, even how my mind works lol. I want to quit soon as well, but it's been hard.
@@SachiBeanthanks for the support man. I got myself a go pro, so I want to record the process and start a new RUclips channel. I’ll be sure to come back to this comment and share my experience! Hopefully it’ll inspire others who are daily potheads and feel like they need that break...I love my weed, but like any relationship, it can become abusive.
Holy fucking shit, I have had the exact same experience with weed and depersonalisation, I finally came out of it but i felt that way for months! Its so amazing to hear that it wasnt just me. For me it was edibles and it just went me into the void.
I use to smoke basically everyday from 17 to 27 years of age. I think in the beginning I was doing it to "relax" and be an escape for me. As I got older, I started to realize when I was anxious about stuff (whether it was about work or life problems) and I would smoke, it would make me feel so much worst about my job or anything else that was bothering me in my life. I would question my life and all my decisions that it just didn't feel good anymore and I realized cannabis was just making me anxious more than anything. I switched to cbd for a month and quit right after. I don't really miss the urge to get high anymore. I breathe better too.
Fun fact, it's anxiety based. Feeling like you are loosing control from being too stoned can trigger it. Stay calm, remember it's not gunna wipe you off the earth. You'll be fine.
If you get that anxious/paranoid feeling when smoking just remember and think to yourself 'this too shall pass'. 90% of the time that feeling just hits for the first 20-60 mins after toking (and often when you took more than you needed). After an hour passes you will just be nicely toasted and relaxed. It happens to everyone but it always goes away. A lot of the time it's from taking too much because you are too embarrassed to say to your friend that you're good after a few tokes which is all you really need
Yup it's been two years and 3 months since my incredibly bad time from the same thing. Probably took 12-18 months to feel like 75% of myself again and slowly trending up with crappy days here and there. Staying away from seed oils, oddly, helps tremendously. I think that maybe the reason weed is becoming more and more legal is because they want as many people as possible to live afraid of themselves. A scared citizen is an obedient citizen. No more for me thanks.
I’m at work right now and just got chills… I’m 28 years old and I used to smoke Weed a lot in highschool and suffered exactly what he’s explaining.. I was depressed and locked myself in my room for a long time.. there wasn’t as much awareness about this even 10 years ago and now that I know people know what I’m talking about it does give me a sense of peace.. I don’t wish it upon anybody.. but it makes me feel like I wasn’t crazy and I still get it to this day ( especially when I have panic attacks) God bless anybody who is going through this or has experienced it.
I have been using weed for about 15 years and i just don't really relate to any of these negative side effects people talk about like the laziness and lack of motivation or depression. I have kept my tolerance low though,that might be the reason why i don't feel any negatives.I vape 1 bowl from my dynavap 2 hours before sleep which equals roughly to 1 gram every week. I work in building construction and i study economics.bookkeeping and business related things i also work out and i always shower and dress nice. I do however admit that weed is addictive but not in the same way as nicotine e.g. ( i kicked that habit few years ago). I am currently on a weed brake for the first time in a very long time and its a little tough but I'm managing fine with a drawer full of weed and still not touching it. I want to see if weed is affecting my cognitive behavior because to be honest i have no idea if it is since i have been using for such a long time maybe my studies are suffering without me even knowing it.
Same exact experience 20 years ago. Most terrifying 4 hours of my life that gave me panic disorder and derealization for about a year. You'll get past it Post
discovering that austin has depersonalization actually made me emotional, i've never had one of my idols talk about it and having struggled with it myself for a long time, it's comforting to know i'm not alone in that experience.
I agree, weed is a distraction not a cure. And like any substance, it loses its effect, and we just become a slave to it. Quit it and took control over mylife! Best decision ever.
This was your experience, good for you but please don't generalize, cause for some people like me, it has no negative effects, and it is a necessary part of me being without anxiety. each individual is a slave to something. I am gladly slaved to weed cause its the only way for me to achieve comfort and not get irritated all the time. No two persons are alike, neither are the effects of different drugs and ingredients on each body.
@@ozzystar3545 that's if all you do all day is smoke nothing else I can smoke in the morning to help my anxiety always helped especially when I was going to school I'd be sweating shaking wanting to cry all the time jus a few bowls n boom I'm chillin n feelin okay
Crazy 7 years ago they had nothing on RUclips about depersonalization bro now everyone knows about it or has had an experience ! Bro to know I’m not the only one that felt that way was a huge relief and to see post describe exactly how I was feeling brooooooooo I thought I lost my mind after I smoked one day & I fell deep into depersonalization. I thought I’d stay stuck forever at the time I didn’t even know wtf it was going on
Yeah, same story here, everyday smoking weed and one day it just flipped upside down. Mixing weed with Psilocybin mushrooms didn't exactly help either. The thought of me going insane wouldn't leave my mind. You wake up with it, you go to bed with it. Lasted for 2 months after quitting weed. At times it felt like my inner voice split into multiple voices. Always questioning what's real and what's not. Sometimes, out of mental fatigue I wanted to scream as loud as I can but always realised that it probably wouldn't help. I completely lost interest in everything and everyone around me. Probably the worst feeling I've ever experienced. I believe dopamine has got to do a lot with it. I'll admit that suicide thoughts did go through my mind, nothing too heavy but it was there in some form which was scary and unsettling. If you are going through it right now, just remember that you are ok and you are not going crazy, it will pass eventually just be patient and stay positive in your mind. If you have to, come back and read this comment again.
Lifelong smoker here- very similar experience and I know TONS of people who have had this same experience all in the last 5years or so- my opinion is there is some sort of either “grow” chemical farmers have started using or some bizarre strain that has creeped into certain strains that basically causes this effect…. No one and I mean NO ONE use to report this stuff from weed until recently. Now literally TONS of people do- racing heartbeat, insane anxiety etc right after you toke up and these people like me like Post are seasoned and lifelong smokers- something is clearly up with certain herbs. I myself am same as Post I don’t smoke anymore because of last experience I had and prior to that I had been smoking for 25 plus years. It’s the “new school” herb period end of story not all strains or grows but something somewhere changed and is causing this
That junk’s not laced, cannabis is being bred too strong, I smoked some strong AF stuff and used heavy concentrates for severe chronic pain and wound up with an illness called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. Essentially too much use can fry your nerves and mess you up pretty bad. I still work with cannabis, making blends for other people with health conditions, but I advocate for safe use. As strong as some of these strains are and some of the “new” cannabinoids on the market, they can really mess with your head. THC-0 for instance is 3x more potent than Delta 9 and THC-P which is now on the market is a whopping 33x more potent!
@@rosaparks1987 Been there. Once I got so high I took everything I had even related to weed to the dump the next day. I went hard on some premium dabs of Venom OG x Gelato 33, it was an extremely intense experience.
Cannabis was always strong, it's just that only a few only people had access to the killer strains back in the day and there were not that many to choose from like today. Yes there are more than ever before. But.... In my area, I remember the same deadly strain has been around since the mid 90's and I've heard older people say it was here way back in the early 80's. Here it's known as the VB Ghani, although I've heard people from Oregon call it Jack Herer when they saw it. I've never seen anything new be more powerful and I've been a pothead for 26 years and its been the same the entire time. Pot doesn't help with chronic pain at all, to portray that is a lie. If it does, then let me smash your hand with a hammer and offer you a joint and a dab for pain management. I'd bet everything I own you'd rather have a percocet for your smashed fingers. Anyone claiming pot does anything "medical" other that stimulate your appetite for those who suffer from cancer and terminal sickness is a flat out lying charlatan scumbag. The entire "medical" argument is a subterfuge for recreational use for the masses. Anytime you wanna test that pain theory, I'm ready, just as long as we use your hand.
@Drew Dunn I wholly agree that good weed back in the 90s was just as strong, it's just that super powerful strains are more abundant and easier to find now. However, I'm going to have to passionately disagree with you on the medical part. I get both oxycodon and cannabis on doctor's prescription for severe chronic pain issues, and when I have cannabis to use, I need DRAMATICALLY less of the opiods, to a point where I can sometimes skip the pills altogether for weeks at a time. The ironic part: oxycodon is covered under my medical insurance, so I receive it for free, while the cannabis has to be paid out of pocket. Very frustrating, for someone who is on a fixed income from permanent disability. Also, your "hammer to the hand" example is wildly inaccurate, as that would be accute pain from blunt force trauma, which is TOTALLY different from chronic pain. Please take the time and effort to educate yourself, in an effort to prevent yourself from spouting unfounded [male cow excrement] and making yourself come off as a fool. Have a great day and enjoy your joint, as will I.
Me n post the same bruh. One time I smoked. Had a really bad experience, and haven't been the same since and have had derealization on and off and just unnecessary anxiety like G.A.D. I suffer more than I ever did but what can u do life goes on and it prob makes me a better person down the line when I'm more aware and controllable of my emotions. I realize de realization is worse when u think about it. And it only really persist when u think about it. You have to keep yourself going as normal as possible like u don't realize de realization. Don't question it. I mean remember what you thought of life before u experienced de realization. It did feel real. So it's always been what it always has. De realization is just another form of anxiety. Or irrational thought. And anxiety can give us tunnel vision when we're not relaxed so mix that with thinkin we're just watching life from glass and Bam u got justified in your brain of your anxiety concern. So there is no other way to go rather than knowing you're living life and staying busy
I’m going through this now. I’m glad I watched this - depersonalization was something that never occurred to me. I love weed & truly believe it is capable of having tremendous health benefits for certain people but i’ve come to terms with the fact that my life is better without it. Was a really weird thing to come to terms with because i really thought I’d smoke for the rest of my life in a sense.
Same 😂 I love weee but am thinking to quit it because how much it Can actually fuck you up. It was fun at first but ever since i ate a edible it cause me desrealization I might never touch it again
@@Stoicsaiyan bro the same thing happened to me. My first few smoke sessions with friends were amazing but one day i had an edible at school and it was a nightmare. It's been over 5 years and i still feel different
@@punani_slayer4209 you still smoke and have good highs tho ? I think the main reason why you feel different is because your derealization still. And you haven’t moved on from the experience I’m slowly getting better and back to normal but edibles are no joke, they should literally be treated the same like shrooms or lsd they are POTENT asf
@@Stoicsaiyan yeah bro every time i smoked after that experience has been a bad trip. Just constant paranoia and anxiety. It's only enjoyable if I'm alone but even then I'll still feel paranoid. I quit smoking a few months ago. But yeah you're right edibles hit you like a truck lol one time i took 2 gummies and deadass forgot to breathe for like 3 minutes 😂 almost passed out
I made the horrible accident of smoking weed all day everyday as I was going through the hardest time of my life and ended up stuck in a high-like reality where I felt so detached from the world, society, my passions, my interests, etc. and everything was replaced with heavy anxiety, worry, doubt, fear, and stagnance. My mind could not go back to normal. I tried to re-learn how to feel normal. But nothing worked and I was stuck for 3 years until I started becoming suicidal because I hadn't felt true happiness in years, so I finally opened up to a doctor who really listened to me and got me on lexapro and now my mind is back to normal. Worst experience of my life, and all I can do is mourn the lost 3 years of my life...
Same thing happened to me after chronic weed use. Smoked every day from age 19 to 23, and then suddenly started getting panic attacks and then depersonalization. Quit cold turkey. It sucked for about a year, and then I eventually felt normal again. Haven't smoked for two decades since. Probably saved me a lot of $$$ though, haha
Something in the weed changed.....it used to give you a wonderful body high, around 20 years ago it changed, it became entirely a mental high, In a bad way.
@@brianpeterson5516 the amount of thc has tripled in the last 20 years and the amount of cbd has been lowered, I’d recommend Indica cbd oil watch yourself fall asleep and completely relax
bro I had that and I think because I started flower so young it kinda messed me up it made me feel very awkward in social settings. I would be so stressed and depressed and one day I woke up and just knew something had to change so I changed my mindset and started to just be happy about living, and one day it went away. I never stopped smoking though I don't think I would have made it without the relaxing effects of the magical plant. kinda a catch 22 idk it hasn't came back except for one day a while ago which is really strange but it went away the day after.
I had this exact same shit ,one day the weed turned on me and I couldn’t shake the thought of death and loss and the surreal nature of our existence in the grand scheme of the universe,I was almost watching my face gain wrinkles infront of my eyes I was almost seeing glimpses of horrible moments into the future like being in hospital waiting rooms and being told the news of getting an illness or losing a loved one and actually feeling the real emotions and just feeling so helpless in my own mortality ,I still deal with it daily it’s fucking terrifying
It goes away, it feels like it won’t but it will go away. I had it for a good 8 months, but once I started working out everyday, going to sleep 7 hours a day and cooking for myself most nights out the week I’m good now. You’re still gonna have days where it creeps up, but it won’t be intense enough to give you anxiety or panic attacks anymore. It will end, you’re worth living.
I had the same thing man. Put up the weed for 2 weeks and then I tried to take a big hit from the bong that was packed with some really good stuff. Got too high and I eventually though about what death would look and be like from a first person POV. It scared me shitless and made me have a terrible night and I had a panic attack. I imagined it would be like turning an old tv off where the picture blinks out to the small point in the middle of the screen then disappears, along with a weird clapping sound. That whole evening I was so high and it felt like every thought I was having, was something I wasn't supposed to be thinking about. Sucks pretty bad when you feel unsafe and in the wrong for even thinking about anything in the first place. The night was so bad that I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. I started having an existential crisis for like 3 months after that, and it's only gone away after accepting that what I thought death would be like, was just a figment of my imagination. It felt like it was actually happening though because I was so high that my thoughts felt like they were actually happening to me in reality. I ended up having to move out of that apartment because 1. I needed a new place to live and 2. whenever I would walk nearby the spot where I had that thought of death, I would end up feeling a bit like how I did that night. It's gotten better only after moving and talking with people who had a near death experience, and them telling me that death isn't nearly as bad as we make it out to be. I was told by a few of them that the fear of death is far worse than actually being dead. Just enjoy this life you've got and only focus on things that are good. Don't think about death, because you're not supposed to. If you spend your life worrying about death, then you've pretty much already lost your life. Hope this helps anyone out there that may have experienced the same thing
I've been hardcore smoker most my life. I live in state where its legal. The strain is huge component on how you feel. But the resin is what causes anxiety. Do not use old pipes or bongs with resin coating the device...clean it every day. 2/3 of all weed causes anxiety (hybrid and sativa)...indica's less so. If you know what you are doing, you can remove the anxiety every time.
You are lucky. I've been dealing with it for 15 years. No medication or therapy has helped. I'm constantly in a state of feeling detached from reality while feeling like my body is on autopilot. Physically it feels like I'm trapped in the back of my mind just watching things unfold on a giant screen. I had to drop out of college because my focus and intellect is so badly affected that I started failing every course even when trying my best. I now work minimum wage jobs because anything more causes me to get confused and make big mistakes. Thanks for the brain damage, shady dealer from the hood.
@@BigDoeJ424 nope. Never tried it. Only smoked pot twice and after the second time I stopped because of what happened. It literally caused me to black out and lose all sense of time and reality. Whenever I came out of the blackout I would be nearly blind because my vision was flickering non stop, I would panic and then go right into another blackout. The next day is when I realized how fucked up I was mentally with the depersonalization and derealization. I've been the same ever since. It's a nightmare.
@@TheUnknownDungeon Sound like spice, my friend had asimilar experience... Worst thing is that he did not even know it was spice. Just took a big hit and bam..
@@TheUnknownDungeon yep exactly what I went through. To be honest idk if I got so used to it I don't notice anymore or if it really went away. It wasn't an overnight thing.
@@nicolejacobsoncovers It began to get somewhat better on its own eventually. Then I started going to the gym, I believe that is what truly helped the most.
My son smoked some weird weed in his first year of college. That was 8 years ago. Hasn't been the same since. Meds, therapy..... the depersonalization and everything..... the same. God help those who get screwed like this. 😔🙏💔
Crazy cause I was doing really well in university. Studying software engineering. Got into smoking weed, one day I picked up and smoked it when I got home. And it was different than anything I smoked before it. Ever since, I felt exactly how Post feels. Almost ended it and dropped out of school. Even in my best of days, active and productive, it still feels like I'm watching not living
I had this same thing happen, doesn't matter what your friends say - if you're somebody with an bit of a creative/slightly crazy or adhd mind naturally stay away from doing too many drugs... It can f*k you up & did to me - had this same experience & am now coming out of it, almost 8 months in. But was sheer hell - do know though, that as long as you don't ever touch drugs again you will recover & feel normal again, and that it does 200% get better even when it feels like it can't, meditation & grounding excercises really help - if you're feeling it, it's highly likely because you've either just experience an mild drug-enduced psycotic episode, or (in most cases 90% of the time) are experiencing pretty severe anxiety. Do know though that as long as you stay away from all substances (alcohol's ok, but does give anxiety) then you will 100% feel better. You can get through this!
Nah bro same shit I've smoked so much I was curled up on the couch shaking and hallucinating it just happens when the strain your smoking is really potient in thc I thought I was dieing. And it's worse when you have severe anxiety weed is powerful people misjudge it but you can over do it man it happens a lot with me
Friendly tip from somebody who's been a hardcore smoker for 30 years: switch to a different dealer. I guarantee you are smoking laced sh¡t. I will not claim I've smoked everything under the sun, especially since nowadays, ten new stains seem to come to market every week. But I've always smoked the best and most powerful I could lay my hands on at the time. Amsterdam strains, Cali strains, old-school strains like Jack Herer, hash, dab, you name it, I've smoked it. All of it. For DECADES. What you describe, I've experienced ONCE. From a batch of extremely questionable quality (rave in the middle of nowhere, ran out, only that sh¡t for sale, so I gave it a go). It was dry, crunchy, didn't look or smell good, didn't look like it would even get a novice high, let alone a hardcore smoker. Sh¡t f***ed me up for HOURS, hallucinations, paranoid AF, you name it. That sh¡t was laced, 💯%. And so was yours. I GUARANTEE it. Do yourself a favor, and switch dealers. Or, better yet, find a spot to grow a couple, so you KNOW you're not smoking pesticides, herbicides, synthetic cannabinoids, or whatever else the kids these days are using to "upgrade" their oregano to "pot".
@@remcovanvliet3018 mine wasn't laced I know that I only get from dispensaries and I smoked like 8 or 9 grams when it happened, I've only been smoking for about 5 years I was shaking uncontrollable and cold as hell. And I think honestly I had a panic attack when it started because my heart was beating so fast and I just couldn't sit in one place. My mind was racing about anything and everything idk man I just probably shouldn't smoke so much in one sitting.
I had a really scary experience my friend gave me some weed called jelly runtz, I took one hit off the bong. Immediately everything started spinning, my heart was racing, I was seeing colors, and I was just wigging out. I was puking everywhere and shaking. When I tried laying down it felt like I was sinking through the floor. I thought I was genuinely dying. I gave up weed after that, but I decided to try again a few times and now I just feel extremely anxious and paranoid everytime I do it. So I just gave up all together. Not sure if my weed was laced but it was scary as fuck.
I went through that for a while but eventually I was able to ease back into it. I was smoking one day and I wasn’t feeling like I was feeling anything so I kept smoking and smoking then eventually it felt like I couldn’t gulp to swallow air and it triggered a panic attack. I was on my hands and knees on the phone w my girlfriend, I thought I was being attacked by a ghost or something. After that I struggle with depersonalization for a while, I couldn’t eat, I would have panic attacks and my pupils would dilate and I’d start sweating. Getting a full time job and staying busy got rid of it slowly but it took years
@@Ryan88881 I never got it diagnosed so I have no clue what really happened. I had a lot going on that year, a lot of stress, I also had a bad LSD trip 3 months before hand. I’m just glad whatever it was is gone because I couldn’t function at all
@@imchase7796 And it slowly dissipated right? Ya it's just interesting because literally everything you said even the part with the ghost is telltale weed withdrawal for me. It would feel almost like I took an anticholinergic/deliriant drug just because I *didn't* smoke. Did you quit weed cold turkey after that bad high? Because if so that's probably what caused the later panic attacks and sweats and not eating. I remember the weed withdrawal getting so intense at some points that I would literally be scared of like.. phantoms and shit. Stuff that didn't make sense. And that was on top of the psychotic levels of depression.

I quit smoking too because of this. Fell in a bad depression also because I couldn’t handle this depersonalisation feeling. But after working on myself setting goals and doing mindful things in my life, no drugs drinking etc it got better day by day. Not easy but very rewarding experience in the end when looking back on it.
Damm, my lifestory in a nutshell, nice to hear you doing great😊

It’s nice to finally have someone shine a bright light on depersonalization/derealization. It’s such an under the radar illness that affects so many people!! Keep your head up and I promise things will get better!
I had it for a while before and didn't even know it was a thing until months after it went away
logic spoke about it like 6 years ago
I didn’t know this was a thing, it describes me but I’ve always been like that even with out drugs or alcohol
lol no its not
Finally people it's awaking from weed use and how terrible it is, takes time to realize, I was addict since 2016 and stopped a year ago, I did it in adolescent and now I fucking regret because it really destroyed your mind, you notice all the changes when you get detox and I can't stand people who defend that s
I suffer from depersonalization/derealization as well after going through Serotonin Syndrome and overdosing off Adderall (I had also been smoking insane amounts of weed at this point so that didn't help). Over the years I've done a lot of research into it and trying to figure out what exactly is it's purpose in are bodies. The best way I can put it is that DP/DR is a defense mechanism are body uses when you cannot fight or fly. It's an eject system from stressful & dire situations. People who undergo extreme states of panic, stress, anxiety, or traumatic events tend to go through depersonalization/derealization. You become a spectator of your own vessel. It makes you feel like you are in a first person shooter. It's a living hell. It can takes months or years to get rid of for some people. Some people live there whole lives with it. But It can dissolve away. Best advice I can give too someone is to:
01. Stay away from substances that mess with your nervous system and that have dissociative traits (nicotine, weed, and alcohol).
02. Take your health/diet as serious as possible (Gym/Healthy Diet).
03. Try to find ways to cope with the stressors of your life.
Basically the cliche "Get Your Life Together" package.
Once you make better habits out of your life the likeliness of you feeling like yourself will increase. You might be depersonalized so long that you forget what it was like to be "normal" or what it was like before the DP/DR Onsetted. Somedays are better than others and it's not so intense. Other days it will be too intense and may hinder you from living your life. But you learn to live with it day by day. One day you'll stop thinking about it. You'll stop overreacting to how things look or feel because you'll have lived with it for so long that it becomes normal. & when you stop thinking about it and letting it dictate the quality of your life that's the moment you have recovered. I promise you things get better!
I've been leaning into it and calling it a spiritual awakening lol
@@joelp4036 quitting? Yea, I agree
very well said brother you are spot on! I went through it for almost half of my twenties, it's a very mentally painful state to live in..such a blessing when you finally get out of it.
Lived with depersonalization disorder my whole life. It's easiest for me when I just accept it as normal. It does seem to get a little better or a little worse depending on my lifestyle but it's always there no matter what I do. Been completely sober and a total stoner, been dedicated to the gym and a fat lazy slob.. but depersonalization never goes away for me. I believe it's because I spend so much time watching screens. My work and most of my recreation involve looking at screens (my job is computer based and I love video games). Seriously since the age of two it's been screens every day. One day if I ever escape this line of work, I plan on doing an experiment by traveling somewhere and then not using any screens whatsoever for an entire year - no phone, no TV and no computers. If my thesis is correct, no screen use for an entire year should at least reduce the symptoms of my depersonalization disorder, although I fear that it will forever be with me because my brain developed while being hooked to screens thanks to video games and eventually computers. Maybe there's a medication out there that would help? Medications make me nervous though like it will unlock something even worse... but it would be really nice to make this feeling go away even if just for a while, to feel how life is supposed to feel.
Dude! Nail on the head!👍
Great to hear someone talk earnestly about this issue. I had several depersonalization and derealization episodes after smoking weed during my teen years, to the point where I thought I was going crazy. The feeling of seeing your own life as a movie is very disturbing. Even the feeling I had when I touched any surface would be different, like there was a delay between the touching and the feeling; almost like someone divided the feeling into small pieces and then slowly released it. I still remember when I was in the shopping mall with my dad and suddenly I started to cry and told him I thought I was going crazy. Unfortunately, this issue took away many years of my early adult life. When something like that happens to you, your self-confidence drops dramatically.
The notion that weed is a harmless drug is far from the truth for many people.
I hope you are doing better now. I wish you the best
Weed only enhanced what you felt and how you reacted to random thoughts or emotions you hide or keep away, this in turn can be hard to face and facing your thoughts or emotions is not easy
I know people that quit years ago but got old, retired and started smoking 🚬 again and they 🚭 love ❤️ it
It's comforting hearing someone as well known and that has such a large platform talk about this issue. I first started having issues on my 16th birthday, a few days after smoking some weed with friends. I had been smoking for some months but it wasn't until this later stage that I realised something wasn't right. I remember feeling a sense of doom and panic and this transcended into Depersonalisation and Derealisation over the coming months/years. Symptoms got so bad that I had to take time off of work to try and understand what was going on. I thought I would suffer forever, but I managed to overcome it and move past it with the help of research and also therapy. I am not sure exactly on how the process works but I understand that both DP/DR stem from anxiety and in order to move past this, you need to tackle it head on instead of shying away and cowering from it. Quite simply, you do not overthink it. When you get into a state where you feel you cannot go on, you carry on with what you are doing and don't pay attention to your symptoms. The less you pay attention to it, the less your brain focusses on the symptoms and less of an issue it becomes, to the point where you can do those same tasks in those same situations and not have any symptoms at all. This is unlikely to happen overnight, however, but I managed to make real progress within weeks and I can live my life day to day now as I did before I had ever even smoked week before. Good luck to anyone suffering with DP/DR. Stay positive, things do get better.
Anxiety is no fucking joke
My take on this is it depends more on what state of mind you’re currently in, as opposed to just smoking a lot of weed. It’s like when people say “don’t trip acid if you’re not in a good place in life because you’ll have a bad experience.” It’s the same thing. I was in a bad place about 2 years ago, and smoking DID NOT help. It’s just made the anxiety 10x worse. Now, I’m in a much better place mentally so any time I smoke it’s nice and relaxing. Just my two cents.
Damn bruh this comment so real 😩
Yea, I agree. I think cannabis amplifies your current mood. If you have nothing to worry about, all happy, your mood will be enlightened 10x, but it goes the other way around if you are feeling low and depressed at the time of taking it. Let's all become sober!
Define " bad place" ? If you're talking about like not making payments or missing out on bills, then yes you're gonna freak out. But if you battle with mental health issues that are permanent. That's different. The next time you smoke you only recreate issues in your head again. Reality weed today is just like any drug. Just because it doesn't kill you that doesn't mean it's not doing any harm. Simple fact, it kills brain cells.
You hit the nail on the head, couldn't have said it better.
Nah it can make people feel shit they shouldn’t
Post is such a polite and earnest dude. Wish more musicians were like him. Feels like someone I completely relate too, even though our lives couldn't be more different. Ya know?
Maybe that happened after his depersonalization experience ? Wonder what he was like before that happened ? Was he the same or different ?
@@jean-pierreraduocallaghan8422 every interview dating back before that experience for him, he has always been so kind and polite. Doesn’t seem to let his success get close to his head
I’m like that :)
Yes sir ❤😍
Not just musicians i wish everyone was like this
I smoke everyday and even if I’ve never felt this type of feeling (I smoke like 1 joint per day so it’s not an heavy addiction) I can understand that weed can really change your lifestyle. For example I cannot sleep without smoking earlier or I can barely feel hunger. I’m so happy when the day finishes just because I can finally smoke, which for my body it’s like a reward for the day passed. It’s strange, I like smoking when I’m smoking, but I hate it before and after
@Rick C137 If you want an advice, you can try to quit for one week or so, just to understand how much do you need to smoke. I do that sometimes (I have to take a supplement to sleep properly lol) and it’s quite helpful, also the first joint after this little sacrifice will be incredibile😂
thats the "bad" reward mindset, you reward yourself everyday but you only get excited about the reward and not during your actual productiveness during the day, you will slowly start caring less and less about anything else but the "reward" and do the least amount possible, you already understand that you don´t like the feeling after you smoke ( I also always felt really physically bad), now you just need to understand why your brain is doing this so just do some research on the "reward mindset" and why it is bad, maybe it will help and motivate anyone feeling like this as it did for me.
Highly recommend Andrew Hubermans podcast where he talks about marijuana jus search “Andrew huberman marijuana” and his episode will pull up and he talked ab how I guess smoking more than 2 times a week is considered heavy smoking which I was doing WAY more than that but he talks also about the mental effects that happen when you do it so often that may not show up till years later

@@sql638 I also was in ur position thinking there’s no way I could do life w out being high. Like I thought I’d never be able to sleep but I had gotten sick and I just knew it was time to give it up and never really had too many struggles sleeping but even if I did a short term struggle with your sleep and eating habits is so worth it compared to continue in a destructive lifestyle cause like you said with motivation it heavy made me unmotivated and lazy. Nicotine did too so I had to give both up but trust bro it’s very worth it. You gotta find ways to fill your time healthfully. For me it’s working out, doing music, and doing video. Ofc it’s diff for everyone but it helps immensely with not allowing idle hands cause it’ll only lead to being tempted to return to it. Also helpful to write down your cons of quitting and your cons of continuing in ur lifestyle. Id assume your cons of not quitting is way higher than quitting. You got it bro, it’s worth it.

@@col8353you ok bro?
Dude. I went through a massive trauma that left me with debilitating PTSD, back in late 2015/early 2016. Had EXTREME depersonalization AND derealization. Felt like I was a ghost, like I was see-through, or not really there. Other times that the world around me wasn't real. These were not THOUGHTs, mind you, but FEELINGS that just would not go away. I'd wake up like that. Then, weirdly enough, I heard White Iverson randomly on the radio for the first time, never heard of Post Malone. That song was so comforting and peaceful for some reason, just really hit me and made me feel something good for the first time in ages. So I'd just loop it, over and over when things got bad. Absolutely instrumental to the healing process and my recovery. And it's the singular reason I became a fan, I've got all the albums now haha.
So I hope you find something like that yourself man. Whatever works for you, but I know how much it sucks, there's nothing else to compare it to and people don't really know what it's like if they haven't been through it themselves.
Thanks for sharing 😊
I’ve been there. 100%. Those who have experienced it are the only who can truly understand. It’s gnarly shit haha. But you eventually, SLOWLY, come back to reality.
I went through the same thing... It is so comforting and validating to hear others talk about their experiences.
Fr exactly what I was going to comment 💯
Interesting, was your use regular and then one experience changed it?
Only time it happened to me was when I smoked everyday for physical pain. Started getting regular exercise and now I only smoke when I know I've got nothing to do.
Every single high is different but most of the time I get super focused - great for games and general reading especially scientific papers I would never read other wise.
A drug is a tool, can be empowering if used correctly. I'll never quit though, it's the only reason I'm still alive today.
I swear to God this is so comforting. It felt like a dream. Ffr
@@Sidcito Smoked for 5 years and yes there were definitely life events and health issues going on that probably triggered and amplified it.
I'm so happy he's talking about this. Depersonalization is a real thing and I had to quit smoking weed because I had a major panic attack from it. Also, I had a patient go into psychosis just from smoking laced weed once.. whole life changed from it. Cheers Posty
Being completly natural and learning how to deal with your problems on your own is the best way.
I like to deal with my problems sober and then enhance my life on occasion with cannabis. Makes my life way more fulfilling and fun in a positive manner
I dealt with the same exact problem with weed in 2020. It started to give me panic attacks/heart palpitations. I went to the ER like 3 times just to be told I was having a panic attack. They threw anxiety pills at me but that is only supposed to be a temporary aid. The only way to truly deal with stuff like that is within.
You start by understanding how panic attacks work on a scientific level. This helps PA's from getting worse since you know it won't kill you and it will just be uncomfortable until it passes. The next thing is to figure out what is triggering it for you. Weed can accelerate panic attacks but that doesn't mean it's the source.
For me, it was losing control of my life which also made me realize I had some depersonalization disorder as well. Working out was the one thing I could control and actively see results from it so that helped me immensely on my journey to getting rid of panic attacks. Took a year before I could smoke weed again without attacks.
Post Malone doesn't seem like the healthiest dude and neither was I when I was dealing with all of that shit. I don't know him personally but he probably has some similar issues going on since I can relate so much and having a healthier lifestyle would help fix a lot of that anxiety. Instead of "making it work" he should face it and figure out how to overcome it.
Same story and I also thought the weed was laced but it wasn't. My wife smoked it later (I told her not to) and it was fine. But like him, it flipped my world upside down. It's not the weed. It's anxiety. But I haven't touched weed since.
@@REAPERMania I had it too it is the weed. The weed triggers disassociation which triggers panic attacks. After you had your first panic attack you become hyper-vigilante and get them again. We went 180 from "weed bad" to "weed always good", these days you can't say anything negative about weed, but people need to know the truth is somewhere in the middle. I am older than some and out of all my homies that smoked a lot of weed I would say a good third at least had bad experiences and panic attacks at some point.
more accurately the THC in weed..
just get ones that has low THC and you will be fine as long as u don't do it everyday.
i live in a country where weed is illegal and the only weed strain here is atjeh which is in my opinion, a very bad weed strain because it contains 0% cbd and 10% THC.
the Narcotics bureau stated that they will never want to legalize weed because of the strain that grows here has only THC content in it which can trigger psychotic tendencies and mental dissorders.
Just read your comment and was wondering as way before smoking I’d get chest pain and always said it felt like I was having a heart attack, now with smoking I’ll have joint and after that have a crippling sensation and I have to put weight (eg arm) over so it doesn’t feel as bad. So is this similar or the same as what you experienced.
Yall be smoking man made high thc weed then give the herb a bad rep when you have a bad experience. Do your research !
I'm going through the same thing right now. I got quite high last week Friday and had a panic attack, then after 2 to 3 hours, I was okay. But 3 days later I started having anxiety issues. It's almost been a week. I have frequent heart palpitations, but slowly, they're becoming easier and slowly I'm feeling better. I went to the hospital 2 days ago, and the doctor told me nothing was wrong with me. I just shared my story because I know loads of people might be going through the same thing now. But I KNOW, that I'm gonna be fine. Sometimes the feelings get soo bad that you feel like you're going crazy or you're gonna die, but you won't. It gets better. I don't know for how long I'll feel this way, but I know NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, And that's what comforts me. I'M GONNA BE FINE. AND SO ARE YOU. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. AND YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS. Just find something that works for you. Could be a hobby or anything other thing. To keep you distracted. My doctor told me to just give it Time and I'll be fine. Alot of people in the comments have gone through the same thing, And they know how we feel because they've been through the same thing. Just give it Time. I love you soo much sis/bro. You'll be alright. (This video just popped up in my recommendations at the right time lol, needed something to make me feel better and it has).
Love to you.❤
cringe af i just got a laugh out of reading this 😂 man said he went to the hospital over HEART PALPITATIONS 😂😂😂 shit that every human being gets… Sad how people act like weed is giving them ptsd but all they feel is heart palpitations. Dawg you haven’t seen the half of real anxiety just be thankful
I was also in the hospital a few days ago for the same exact thing. That's fuckin crazy. Doc said I'm fine though, I've smoked daily for over 10 years and all of a sudden it's just not reacting well with me. I'm putting the weed down for now to focus on other things in my life. Thanks for posting this bro, it's crazy to see how many people have felt this same way. Love n light
Thanks bro I appreciate your kind words. May God help us all find inner peace and good mental, physical and spiritual health. Amen 🕊️
@Heavens Hound, two words: Panic Disorder. Look it up, it's real.
@@heavenshound6775 …. I cannot emphasize enough just how ignorant you sounded. If YOU truly know how horrifying anxiety and panic and such feels then I implore you to reassess your analysis and judgment of said reaction you had this to the OPs statement. You, who of ALL people, have had such a familiar relationship with anxiety, etc. will no doubt understand how terrifying fear is PERIOD! Unless we are that person, one is not qualified to quantify the amount of terror another individual feels. Let us raise each other up and as it says in the Bible, seek first to understand rather than to be understood, first; as difficult as that is because like you, I want to tell my story, as well! However, restraint is most important when it comes to the karma of others hearing our story. I pray YOUR story will be told and witnessed, as well. However, let us strive to first be a friend. Then, the universe may be more willing to send us a friend, as well. Okay. So, let’s not compare pain because at the end of the day.. pain (especially, emotional pain.. is subjective). 💜🌍🌈
I'm glad hes talking about it. I used to get high sun up to sun down then for whatever reason it flipped on me and wasnt a pleasant experience. I would get horrible anxiety and an empty feeling no matter what I smoked or how much. And before I get the comments, I'm an organic grower with 20 yrs under my belt, I've grown more varieties than most ppl can name and it didnt matter which I used. High thc, low thc, higher cbd lvls and whatever. I'm about 2 weeks sober rn and id say the majority of it just stopped. I still wanna get high but I know the effect wont be what I think its gonna be in my head. Wish I hadn't gone so heavy in my early yrs so I might have been able to enjoy it now
I started smoking 20 years ago as a teenage, got addicted to cigarettes. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
How do i reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have
really helped him. mah dudes have safe
trips all.
Would like to know from those who have solved PTSD and anxiety, if they have solved it definitively and how to understand what quantity of psilocybin to take and when, for how long. And can you really heal without having an addiction?
Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's
something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)
THESE.ARE BOTS
I stopped smoking pot because I had an episode of psychosis. I've never felt such a mixture of anxiety, panic attacks and unwarranted fear. I feel much better without marijuana. I don't drink alcohol either. I changed my diet to carnivore/keto. I take supplements such as lots of magnesium, potassium and vitamin D3. I feel insanely good not only physically, but also mentally. Take care of yourselves. You can live without pills or drugs and cope with difficult emotions. ❤️
Hey you’ve inspired me to quit. Cause I’m dealing with all that stuff right now and I just want to be mentally healthy again.
Me too. Smoked weed every day for 18 years...last few years it made me very paranoid. I took a lot of LSD and Mushrooms and they never made me paranoid like weed did. People underestimate weed, it is a strong drug. I too changed my life and went on Keto with mostly carnivore diet and take a whole bunch of supplements. No alcohol or drugs for me...i do take mushrooms every now and then for spiritual reasons. Drugs are all poison.
Think it’s a little wiser and better to use thc then to eat meat .. makes no sense . It’s a plant great if it doesn’t work for you . But saying your doing better by quitting weed and eating meat is funny
@@joshrandall8917 You're in denial. and not understanding where he's coming from. Weed doesn't create depression or mental issues. It's enhances mental issues . Just like Alcohol does. Weed isn't just a " Plant" you find in the woods these days. Weed has many chemicals by ppl and dispensaries to keep it all fresh. Those chemicals can have a major affect on your brain. If you're someone who smokes a joint every 4 months, you'll be fine and want notice much. But abusing weed, smoking Os a month or how ever fast you smoke, and you have issues, will deteriorate. Weed is a harmful drug to the sense it slows down your reaction time, makes you lazy, makes you eat alot. It's just like alcohol. and believe me in my 20 I never wanted to believe that.
@@joshrandall8917 don’t worry you just lost one customer. You have a couple more idiots smoking that crap
Really refreshing to hear someone like Post talking about this & everyone in the comments able to relate - you really feel like the only person in the world going through these issues. Like everyone else, smoked weed heavily for years through university. Initially started with heart palpitations which were causing panic but when I realised it was anxiety, I was able to deal with it better. Fast forward 7 years the heart palpitations don’t happen anymore, but I know have severe head tension which causes me to jolt, like an electric shock to the head. Blood tests etc all fine but now impacts me daily. Used to only get the feeling after smoking weed, now it’s everyday. Just wish I could feel normal again as it’s really impacting my daily life now. Lost my job this year which was a really well paid job through making stupid decision and been on a spiral since.
It’s crazy how this happens to a lot of people. Not talking the horrible possible laced experience, but with regular weed in general. You have to sample until you find a strain that works for you. I used to just smoke whatever, at any given point. That brought on a lot of anxiety. Everything turned full circle when I narrowed down the 3 or 4 strains that agreed with me.
Most people don't wanna keep trying, it's much easier to give up and stick to them dummy pills.
Smoking or eating pills from the doctor are not the only 2 choises in the world ahhahahahaha
@@fchampd4512 you laugh but you must not get out much.. pathetic people try arguing on obvious shit.
I've realized that weed just isn't for me. I had access to pretty much all kinds and yeah, some didnt cause much anxiety but 90% of it did and took me to dark places. I think it's just not meant for some people just like alcohol but I have nothing against it.
@Canna-Mike Not in Cali, feel like it's hard to not smoke weed here 🤣. Everyone does it lmao
The fact that my favourite artist has come out as sober is seriously going to help me take the same step myself once and for all. I've known what I have to do for a while but I just haven't taken that big step.
In this same interview he admits he rips almost 20+ cigs a day & that beer pong is one of his favorite games to play so idk what your idea of being sober means
this mfer is far from sober man. lmfao. this mfer just saying shit he found from someone else, he never really got diagnosed.
Yeah not sober at all lmao
besides what @Sam said we don't know what other drugs he takes, so yeah. Not that sober actually.
@@Sam-mw1to Don't discourage Iker, he's trying to get away from weed. Everyone perceives information differently, there's no need put this out.
I think quitting cigarettes and beer is better than quitting weed. Smoking weed forces u to be uncomfortable and u have to learn to hold yourself in any situation. It helps every aspect of life when u r not high u r even better socially.
Went through the same. Smoked everyday, all day. Got so depressed and wanted to stop but i felt like a addiction to it. Felt like i was just watching a movie of my life instead of living it. When you smoke you get a shot of dopamine and will get addicted to that and it turns into a endless circle of realizing your not happy any more and when you wake up feeling the want to, to quit but quickly grab the pipe or bong cause you cant resist it.. and the weeks when i finally threw what I had left in the trash, was very very hard to get through..the huge emotional swings and depression and withdrawals sucked! But now its been 3 months and I'm feeling way better about myself and my life! If you feel the same way, trust me, just get rid of it and grind through the coming off part and things will get better. I promise!
This video and comments like yours have been really helpful to me. I've been sort of backseat driving my life the past few months, where nothing I do really makes me feel anything, and if it does it's meloncholic depression. I hadn't really thought about the fact that my weed use has significantly ramped up to where I can't even get high for more than minutes given how many times a day I smoke. The general disinterest I've had has really weighed on me, and I've hated myself for resenting the people around me because they don't understand and can't help. I think this coming into my recommended is a sign to ditch the rest of my weed and just live for a while. I'm glad you were able to get better, and think it's about time for me to as well
Experienced the same thing with weed years and years ago. Still smoke occasionally and sometimes it hits me right and I’m good and happy. Other times I wonder why I even bother as it sucks me out of reality and into a living hell. It’s awesome that Post openly talks about this.
indica only 1-2 hits is all you need and chill.
Yeah it’s weeds with high thc content and low cbd that induce the paranoia, anxiety and dpd u should try a low thc high cbd strain see how u are after a hit or 2
I am 45 years old. I like a little weed here and there, especially after a few beers, it helps me stop drinking for the night. I was daily pot smoker in my 20s and it often made me anxious AF. I quit for almost 10 years in my 30s. I think people are just taking too much. No need to be ripping bong hits or smoking blunts with the chronic. Just take a small hit or two, get lifted and enjoy your high.
This is how I smoke now. I can’t smoke weed by itself and nor can I smoke large quantities. I have a good evening with some drinks, maybe a few hits on a j and a couple more drinks and I feel pretty damn good. Weed alone is a big no no for me.
Its not just about smoking too much. I didn't even smoke that much. A lot of panic attacks come from anxiety and stress in life. Weed just highlights those problems more and can trigger a panic attack.
I quit smoking weed for a year to work on myself since I was dealing with panic attacks. I can confidentally say that I can smoke weed again without problems.
I totally agree. Also, people don't pay enough attention to the strains they are smoking. that, along with what Boardwalktoke mentions can lead to some bad experiences.
@@BoardWalkToke That makes sense. Glad you are doing well.
Yup. I can’t speak on the old quality of weed bc I’m only 20 but this new stuff is potent and is a drug lmao. Ppl treat it like it’s not but it is maybe that’s why people are tripping out 🤷♂️ has never happened to me though I think I got close once. Me my buddy and a girl we had the girl roll the blunt maybe with like 1-1.5 grams nun major. For whatever reason I got so high and tired it was a chore to talk 😂. It was odd bc I was a regular smoker at that point. Haven’t been that high since even with tolerance breaks and have only been that high once. Not depersonalization but weird
I had the same exact thing happen to me. Smoked weed constantly all through my teens, now I get the same exact experience Post Malone is describing here.
Cause ya brain didn't fully develop in ya teens and weed wasn't helping that process
I am starting to get is from nicotine. Gonna quit it
@@sadhu7191 it probably comes from addiction, and supressing problems with substances...
It’s the strangest thing tbh, happened to me last year with some weed I had got from the dispensary.
Remember heavily heavily feeling like I was spectating myself, I know that sounds weird af.
Also remember intense feelings of my life being completely scripted, as if everything has already happened and I am just simply playing out the script if that makes sense. Anyways it lasted like hour and a half and I stopped smoking after that, it was so weird too because when it happened I was driving, and after about 3 min of taking the hit of weed I remember the feeling came on so strong and as it came on I got pretty anxious and started praying and the second I started the prayer the sensor started going off for when the passenger hasn’t put on their seat belt. But no one was with me at all and that seat belt sensor was going off until I finally just strapped the seatbelt on for the passenger side and it went away as soon as I did that. I just thought it was odd that the sensor started going off almost immediately after I started praying.
Was a really strange experience.
@@Stampedby__bonetti that’s called Truman Syndrome... U got somethin other type of shit goin on w u over there from depersonalization
Crazy story Post Malone helped me realize I had depersonalization and Derealization I was feeling the shit for weeks and NOBODY IN MY HOUSE understood me and thought I was just tripping then boom I watch this interview and he explained it and said what it was now I'm on a learning journey thanks Posty ♥️💯
Real shit till this day people don't know what dpdr is it's crazy
Hes so damn respectful. Gotta love this guy.
I had this happen badly when I was 16, living a stressful home life and getting stoned 2-4 times a week. I woke up one day and it felt like everything was fake, it was horrible! I quit weed and I was slowly getting better for a few months and then it stayed the same. After roughly six years, I found out that I have moderate sleep apnea as my bottom jaw isn't aligned properly (and was partially choking me in my sleep every night). I have been using the CPAP for six months and this feeling is going away one day at a time! Using the CPAP is the only thing that made a significant difference for me. I know that using cannabis reduces REM sleep and so does sleep apnea. So my theory is that using weed chronically, as well as having interrupted sleep (from the weed and sleep apnea) caused this. Please get a sleep study to check for sleep apnea if you have this issue! I am not fully back to normal-but I'm getting better one day at a time.
man the whole world feeling fake thing definitely hit home that's the best way I can describe that feeling too.
Hearing people discuss depersonalization is awesome because for so long I thought I was alone, going crazy, losing my mind etc. It can be a dark place but it can also get better
I've had derealization for 38-39 years and it's non-stop. Not even for 10 seconds has it gone away. Not that I'm happy to see that someone may have it, but it is comforting to know that others have had it, and still may. Misery loves company I guess. Travis Barker's son was saying that he has it too. It's just such a disturbing feeling.
In my opinion, I think it very well may be that your soul leaves your body since you had experienced something which was traumatic FOR YOU, not necessarily for another person. It's a way of dealing with something that is so traumatic that u are unable to stay within the present moment as you cannot emotionally handle realizing that the experience really has just happened to you whether u accept it or not.
Videos about it on RUclips help alot...keep yourself around positive energy and be the best person you can be. Some of what I just said may help atleast dampen the blow. ✨
I get a kick out of Post saying "No sir" all of the time. A polite and well mannered response.
I'm on day 8 a sobriety from Cannabis myself and I can actually tell the difference in Post Malone's demeanor, Clarity, speech pattern and everything versus him a couple years ago when he was probably smoking a lot of weed lol
The dude is an alcoholic. I wouldn’t take advice from him yet
Sorry but these interviewers are absolutely terrible.
He speaks so well and shares some really personal interesting stuff and they have no idea what to do with it
facts, the only thing one guy could say is "I CALL 911 WHEN I START PANICKING" lol
@@SonGoku5363 I was coming to say it was kinda funny they just ignored that lol
Lot of distractions
depersonalization is so real, love out to everyone dealing with it
I relate to him so much with this. I used to smoke a lot, and one day in 2019 it put me into an absolute tailspin where I didn’t feel myself and had to go to a doctor. It would cause panic attacks that would cause me to faint, and I haven’t touched it since. I’m not saying it’s bad for everyone, but I have no desire to do it again, ever, because I thought I would never get out of that feeling I had. It really messed me up for a long time. That said - this podcast seemed so unprofessional. Too many sidebar conversations. I’ve been on podcasts, so I know it’s more laid back - but this isn’t good. I just wanted to connect with what Post was saying, and these guys just kind of were creating chaos around a serious situation.
Same exact thing you described happened to me, I feel you bro. Had to quit and it all went away, thank God. Prayers going up for everyone struggling to come out with a victory. Keep your heads up, sometimes it takes time but things get better, don't ever give up, in our Lord Jesus Christ's mighty name I pray 🙏🏽 Love yall ❤️ let's get thus win
@Hendrix Lamar You're only proving his point and you said it " Stress, Bills" ect, as you grow out your teens, and live on your own,that's all life is , stress. Better off not smoking ever again.
@Hendrix Lamar Yeah it definitely depends on your mental state for sure. But my overall point is, abusing weed like an alcoholic does with alcohol, it's basically same results. I'm saying drinking isn't not good for your either if you're depressed.
Can’t believe so many people had the same feeling as well. I was a heavy user a couple months ago, had slight depersonalization and anxiety after mixing with shrooms one time (if your gonna do this please be VERY careful). Afterwards I realized that my lifestyle had to change. Now i’m prioritizing sleep, meditating, exercising regularly and I feel great. So I wanna say this to anyone is going through this, you are going to be alright! Lay off the weed, have no fear and show yourself some love and care!
Nothing wrong with weed your just weak mentally
@@EPLClips33 bet bro, reply this to all the similar comments
This is exactly how I quit weed, it’s bad shit, no one’s can see that, what post was saying was my exact experience, it’s refreshing to see I’m not the only one who had this with weed

Had the same exact thing happen after an edible I took. Panic attacks, derealization, Depersonalization, sever anxiety for years. I never smoked or did weed after that incident and after a long time I started feeling better. At this point I’ve accepted some lasting effects but I feel waayyyyy better than I did for that first year.
Yep dude same thing. I went into extreme depersonalization with anxiety and depression that lasted for years. My life was a living hell feeling like I was watching outside of my body watching my life fighting to survive. I had to rebuild myself. It took me 4 years to fully recover and I’m on year 5-6 living my life sober, never touching that shit again. I didn’t get off scott free, I have to take lexapro, Inositol and vitamin d to keep me stable.
From one edible experience? I’m sorry to here that
@@tomd1434 yeah bro. But I had already been smoking weed consistently for about 2 years.. so it was weird to say the least
It ain't for everyone. I heard of a guy who tried one small line of cocaine for the first time and gave him a heart attack and died right there. Some people have bodies that can handle certain things, and some people have bodies that cannot handle certain things.
Yeah weed can fuck ur brain up i wish i knew about the derealization stuff before i smoked, i had a panic attack and its been a year now and i get it time to time at work.
Great to hear people talk openly about this
To each there own. I tried smoking all day every day. Made my anxiety go nuts, swapped to smoking when i woke up and once after work and it actually helps with my anxiety.
Used to smoke everyday and can def say that it affects your nervous system to a deep level of overdone. I think moderation is key to life. This 100% applies to weed and many many other things in life. To be present the biggest priority should be your diet and exercise. Truly this makes that feeling go away and you just come back to reality. Even too much sugar intake is bad tbh. You gotta find your balance of instant gratification vs delayed. You can earn things such as getting high after a long month of work and getting a lot of stuff done, because at that point you know what you are doing is a reward for all the work you did. I think this mindset keeps you grounded and in touch with reality.
I've known Post for many years. Here he is describing what we have talked about many times over the years.
Only someone that has this experience knows what's he's talking about
Had the same thing happen. Smoked for years. Suddenly every time I smoked I was having panic attacks and then sober or high I felt I was just watching life pass me by. Even began to research depersonalization disorder as well. Crazy I haven't thought about it in about 2 years since finally quitting. Quitting felt way harder than it should have since I always was told it's not addictive. I still think about smoking or being high regularly but I try to remember the feelings I felt that made me want to quit.
It helps to remember those feelings. I actually wrote down the reasons why I wanted to quit and why it made me feel like shit, and when I got the craving I’d actually read it and immediately be like no thaaanks dont want that feeling again
I was a heavy smoker and I totally get that “just watching your life happen” feeling. Think I figured it out. The human body has evolved to receive pleasure/satisfaction from solving problems and accomplishing tasks. Smoking allows apathy but in all areas of life. That’s why it makes a great safe and natural medicine for health problems. It’s not that cancer/anxiety/depression is solved it’s that management is easier because it calms the pain and the dread balanced or makes you say “fuck it” to the things that cause anxiety. So even when you are doing the tasks you don’t get the same “life giving” payoff pleasure from solving problems something our evolved bodies require for a “lived life” as opposed to a “watched” one. What do you all think?
What you are saying is deep, it warrants a discussion on its own.
i agree what ya find out through it all
@@jeremiah8973 indeed it does. A change in perspective can be life changing. I think it all goes back to post survival time period. Our caveman ancestors lived during a time of survival. Every day was spent getting to the next hour. But as fire and weaponry were discovered and invented it lead to harnessing it. We stopped being gatherers and we started cooking which greatly improved survival stats. We were able to hunt instead of just being hunted. We consumed higher levels of protein which powered are efforts of survival. From there they combined energies for the creator good which led to the rise of civilizations. All these things happened because their was a life saving payoff at every turn. So many years have passed until now but the constant has been “solve problems, sustain life”. Unifying the European kingdom, The industrial boom, the internet, these all solved great problems for the majority. Sure things go awry each time a new period happens but the creator good is served. That’s why the only achievement left for the super rich is to leave a legacy, something that solves a problem for a majority. But it’s in our dna, we need to love problems for fulfillment and more importantly to keep from extinction
@@555dino I have found, so far, that it’s our DNA. And by fighting it we whither and die purposeless. You can’t just exist in life and feel good. It’s not possible. It works against the code that makes us human. It doesn’t have to be major either. Changing your own oil in your car, learning to cook and then inviting friends over for a meal you prepared, fixing something in your house, giving someone whose homeless some food. Try anything that helps solve a problem for you or someone else and pay attention to the feeling that proceeds. Use that feeling into the next task. I swear to you, that I have gotten off a laundry basket of medications living this way the last two years of my life. I’m getting teary eyed just explaining it because I know that if and when it’s applied by any reader of this then they too will feel true joy.
@@johnfarmakis8518 100% true.
Yup there too.... Meditation is so powerful to help these issues for peeps that used to smoke or party and feel anxiety in any way..... Calms the inner storms and just feel good overall now
Crazy! Im 6 months sober! I started experiencing depersonalization when drinking alcohol and withdrawing from alcohol. I feel pretty good now. I never hear about people talk about depersonalization.
Maybe finally we can get some more sober representation within the celebrity circle.
It's actually really hard to make friends when you don't drink or smoke weed.
People think you're crazy.
I don't know how old you are but for me this shifted once I hit 30.
Thats insane the exact same thing happend to me. Smoked weed all the time one bad joint and i didnt feel like myself. I quit since then and it took me a few months to get over it but weed is dangerous stuff.
Post is the most humble..kind man..yes sir no sir...just a real sweet guy
I quit weed last friday after 25 years as a heavy smoker. Man, Im sweating, crying, freezing, feeling insane, cant sleep and I now start to see the world again. Its awful and fantastic at the same time. To all the youngsters out there. It aint worth being a pothead. Pick yourself up before your life has past you. Cheers
Depersonalisation is one of the weirder parts of anxiety/depression. You can be in a deep conversation with somebody but equally feel so disconnected, just watching yourself speak, not taking anything in, feeling numb and elsewhere.
Same thing happens with antidepressants. I had this experience with them, but not weed. It treats people differently. Surely my consumption was factor though.
@@AmandineClaireDubois interesting, I'm on them for the past 3 months or so...they are a bit weird, Mirtazapine I was given. How are you doing now dude? You been OK?
@@philcourty I've been off of them for a little over a year. I quit weed shortly before I went on them too. I had some bad withdrawl effects from them. I also never had any such effects when I stopped using cannabis.
I had my first experience with depersonalization after very bad shroom trip. For me the anxiety I have now is worst when I feel like I may lose control of my body or emotions. Any mind altering substance triggers a fear response if I can’t immediately get myself to “feel sober”.
Bro I had a very very bad shroom trip 2 months ago and struggled with depersonalization and still struggle with really bad anxiety. How are u now? How long has it been?
I had a very bad trip after shrooms as well last year around July. Lasted for months, I didn’t finally start feeling myself again for almost an entire year. Went through an extreme panic attack (never had one before this) and ended up in the ER with the same panic attack 3 days later. After that, I had cyclic vomiting that occurred every two weeks or so with heavy chest/upper back pain and anxiety I couldn’t seem to budge. After therapy, taking a break from all substances (weed, vaping, drinking, etc.,) for a couple months, I finally got back into a better state of mind. Therapy definitely helped deal with emotions I was feeling and the anxiety I was constantly having. I got so caught up in not wanting to be in that state of mind that I was during that trip, and anything out of my daily routine would set me into a downward spiral so fast. I can say it did get better for me though, don’t be afraid to get help if you need it!
The EXACT same thing happened to me… never had anxiety, any issues socially, and after that weed freak out… I’ve never been the same..
Man post is so respectful

@@Bludgeoned2DEATH2 THC suppresses the nervous system. Over time it will actually have the reverse effect and it goes nuts, especially the Vagus nerve. Stop smoking immediately and look at getting therapy just to talk through the recovery. My anxiety attacks stopped after about 3 months but full recovery has taken almost a year.
@@Bludgeoned2DEATH2 All a doctor is going to do is give you Anxiety medicine which in reality is only supposed to help alleviate the symptoms of panic attacks until you get it under control. Not to stick with them for the rest of your life.
You need to reevalute your life and see whats causing you so much anxiety. Try to understand your body more and what you want or are afraid of. Take care of yourself.
I’ve only quit smoking weed 1 time when I was in a 15-month juvenile program. After about 2 months of being home, the social pressure finally got to me. The first time I smoked, I got so high it felt like I was on an acid trip (and this was before ever doing acid). The initial anxiety/paranoia I felt was insane! I ran home and hid under my sheets - I was terrified! After that, I built a tolerance, and now I smoke every day, but every once in a while that same feeling of paranoia will come back to me.
So I’ve made up my mind. I have a 4 day weekend off work and I’m going to use it to quit smoking 🤞 I plan to go a whole year at least. Wish me luck!
EDIT: I attempted to quit smoking but failed the first time. I didn’t mention I was also addicted to cigarettes, so trying to quit both was rough. Although I failed in my original plan, all of your comments convicted me to try again! I decided to quit all nicotine, including blunts, a month ago and I’m still going strong! Today is Day 5 with no weed too!! Starting to get those crazy vivid dreams, and the urge is still there, but if it wasn’t for you guys asking about me I would probably still be smoking, so thank you everyone!!! 😊❤️
Goodluck man. I sometimes get really paranoid from weed as well when I smoke and start having existential crisis and freak myself out with deep thoughts about everything around me, even how my mind works lol. I want to quit soon as well, but it's been hard.
@@SachiBeanthanks for the support man. I got myself a go pro, so I want to record the process and start a new RUclips channel. I’ll be sure to come back to this comment and share my experience!

It's interesting to hear so many people discussing this reaction. It's very real, often terrifying and can take years to recover from.

how tf did u get out of it tho?
I use to smoke basically everyday from 17 to 27 years of age. I think in the beginning I was doing it to "relax" and be an escape for me. As I got older, I started to realize when I was anxious about stuff (whether it was about work or life problems) and I would smoke, it would make me feel so much worst about my job or anything else that was bothering me in my life. I would question my life and all my decisions that it just didn't feel good anymore and I realized cannabis was just making me anxious more than anything. I switched to cbd for a month and quit right after. I don't really miss the urge to get high anymore. I breathe better too.
Fun fact, it's anxiety based.
Feeling like you are loosing control from being too stoned can trigger it.
Stay calm, remember it's not gunna wipe you off the earth. You'll be fine.
If you get that anxious/paranoid feeling when smoking just remember and think to yourself 'this too shall pass'. 90% of the time that feeling just hits for the first 20-60 mins after toking (and often when you took more than you needed). After an hour passes you will just be nicely toasted and relaxed. It happens to everyone but it always goes away. A lot of the time it's from taking too much because you are too embarrassed to say to your friend that you're good after a few tokes which is all you really need
Posty is an amazing role model and such a real dude. love him
Yup it's been two years and 3 months since my incredibly bad time from the same thing. Probably took 12-18 months to feel like 75% of myself again and slowly trending up with crappy days here and there. Staying away from seed oils, oddly, helps tremendously. I think that maybe the reason weed is becoming more and more legal is because they want as many people as possible to live afraid of themselves. A scared citizen is an obedient citizen. No more for me thanks.
I’m at work right now and just got chills… I’m 28 years old and I used to smoke Weed a lot in highschool and suffered exactly what he’s explaining.. I was depressed and locked myself in my room for a long time.. there wasn’t as much awareness about this even 10 years ago and now that I know people know what I’m talking about it does give me a sense of peace.. I don’t wish it upon anybody.. but it makes me feel like I wasn’t crazy and I still get it to this day ( especially when I have panic attacks) God bless anybody who is going through this or has experienced it.
I’m going through it right now and I fr can’t stop smoking.
@@schmabs-_-2179 just do it, stop wasting time
I have been using weed for about 15 years and i just don't really relate to any of these negative side effects people talk about like the laziness and lack of motivation or depression. I have kept my tolerance low though,that might be the reason why i don't feel any negatives.I vape 1 bowl from my dynavap 2 hours before sleep which equals roughly to 1 gram every week. I work in building construction and i study economics.bookkeeping and business related things i also work out and i always shower and dress nice. I do however admit that weed is addictive but not in the same way as nicotine e.g. ( i kicked that habit few years ago). I am currently on a weed brake for the first time in a very long time and its a little tough but I'm managing fine with a drawer full of weed and still not touching it. I want to see if weed is affecting my cognitive behavior because to be honest i have no idea if it is since i have been using for such a long time maybe my studies are suffering without me even knowing it.
Same exact experience 20 years ago. Most terrifying 4 hours of my life that gave me panic disorder and derealization for about a year. You'll get past it Post
discovering that austin has depersonalization actually made me emotional, i've never had one of my idols talk about it and having struggled with it myself for a long time, it's comforting to know i'm not alone in that experience.
I agree, weed is a distraction not a cure. And like any substance, it loses its effect, and we just become a slave to it. Quit it and took control over mylife! Best decision ever.
Salute
Not to everybody
@@keemwilldoit1835 if you smoke weed everyday yes you can’t escape life and have no consequences
This was your experience, good for you but please don't generalize, cause for some people like me, it has no negative effects, and it is a necessary part of me being without anxiety.
each individual is a slave to something. I am gladly slaved to weed cause its the only way for me to achieve comfort and not get irritated all the time.
No two persons are alike, neither are the effects of different drugs and ingredients on each body.
@@ozzystar3545 that's if all you do all day is smoke nothing else I can smoke in the morning to help my anxiety always helped especially when I was going to school I'd be sweating shaking wanting to cry all the time jus a few bowls n boom I'm chillin n feelin okay
Crazy 7 years ago they had nothing on RUclips about depersonalization bro now everyone knows about it or has had an experience ! Bro to know I’m not the only one that felt that way was a huge relief and to see post describe exactly how I was feeling brooooooooo I thought I lost my mind after I smoked one day & I fell deep into depersonalization. I thought I’d stay stuck forever at the time I didn’t even know wtf it was going on
Yeah, same story here, everyday smoking weed and one day it just flipped upside down. Mixing weed with Psilocybin mushrooms didn't exactly help either. The thought of me going insane wouldn't leave my mind.
You wake up with it, you go to bed with it. Lasted for 2 months after quitting weed. At times it felt like my inner voice split into multiple voices. Always questioning what's real and what's not. Sometimes, out of mental fatigue I wanted to scream as loud as I can but always realised that it probably wouldn't help. I completely lost interest in everything and everyone around me. Probably the worst feeling I've ever experienced. I believe dopamine has got to do a lot with it. I'll admit that suicide thoughts did go through my mind, nothing too heavy but it was there in some form which was scary and unsettling.
If you are going through it right now, just remember that you are ok and you are not going crazy, it will pass eventually just be patient and stay positive in your mind. If you have to, come back and read this comment again.
Having said all that, I am glad I had this experience even though it was truly terrifying at times...
Never give up, this life it's you vs you, keep striving, let's enjoy the opportunity life is giving us, wish you success!
Lifelong smoker here- very similar experience and I know TONS of people who have had this same experience all in the last 5years or so- my opinion is there is some sort of either “grow” chemical farmers have started using or some bizarre strain that has creeped into certain strains that basically causes this effect…. No one and I mean NO ONE use to report this stuff from weed until recently. Now literally TONS of people do- racing heartbeat, insane anxiety etc right after you toke up and these people like me like Post are seasoned and lifelong smokers- something is clearly up with certain herbs. I myself am same as Post I don’t smoke anymore because of last experience I had and prior to that I had been smoking for 25 plus years. It’s the “new school” herb period end of story not all strains or grows but something somewhere changed and is causing this
Naa bro this been happening.
That junk’s not laced, cannabis is being bred too strong, I smoked some strong AF stuff and used heavy concentrates for severe chronic pain and wound up with an illness called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. Essentially too much use can fry your nerves and mess you up pretty bad.
I still work with cannabis, making blends for other people with health conditions, but I advocate for safe use.
As strong as some of these strains are and some of the “new” cannabinoids on the market, they can really mess with your head. THC-0 for instance is 3x more potent than Delta 9 and THC-P which is now on the market is a whopping 33x more potent!
I smoked a lot of really strong weed one time and it took me 3 days to feel normal again. I thought I was gonna be fucked up forever.
@@rosaparks1987 Been there. Once I got so high I took everything I had even related to weed to the dump the next day. I went hard on some premium dabs of Venom OG x Gelato 33, it was an extremely intense experience.
I opened up my chakras too far and heard the devil whisper in my ear as years of pent up emotion rushed up from somewhere down within.
Cannabis was always strong, it's just that only a few only people had access to the killer strains back in the day and there were not that many to choose from like today. Yes there are more than ever before. But....
In my area, I remember the same deadly strain has been around since the mid 90's and I've heard older people say it was here way back in the early 80's. Here it's known as the VB Ghani, although I've heard people from Oregon call it Jack Herer when they saw it. I've never seen anything new be more powerful and I've been a pothead for 26 years and its been the same the entire time.
Pot doesn't help with chronic pain at all, to portray that is a lie. If it does, then let me smash your hand with a hammer and offer you a joint and a dab for pain management. I'd bet everything I own you'd rather have a percocet for your smashed fingers.
Anyone claiming pot does anything "medical" other that stimulate your appetite for those who suffer from cancer and terminal sickness is a flat out lying charlatan scumbag. The entire "medical" argument is a subterfuge for recreational use for the masses.
Anytime you wanna test that pain theory, I'm ready, just as long as we use your hand.
@Drew Dunn I wholly agree that good weed back in the 90s was just as strong, it's just that super powerful strains are more abundant and easier to find now.
However, I'm going to have to passionately disagree with you on the medical part.
I get both oxycodon and cannabis on doctor's prescription for severe chronic pain issues, and when I have cannabis to use, I need DRAMATICALLY less of the opiods, to a point where I can sometimes skip the pills altogether for weeks at a time.
The ironic part: oxycodon is covered under my medical insurance, so I receive it for free, while the cannabis has to be paid out of pocket. Very frustrating, for someone who is on a fixed income from permanent disability.
Also, your "hammer to the hand" example is wildly inaccurate, as that would be accute pain from blunt force trauma, which is TOTALLY different from chronic pain.
Please take the time and effort to educate yourself, in an effort to prevent yourself from spouting unfounded [male cow excrement] and making yourself come off as a fool.
Have a great day and enjoy your joint, as will I.
Me n post the same bruh. One time I smoked. Had a really bad experience, and haven't been the same since and have had derealization on and off and just unnecessary anxiety like G.A.D. I suffer more than I ever did but what can u do life goes on and it prob makes me a better person down the line when I'm more aware and controllable of my emotions.
I realize de realization is worse when u think about it. And it only really persist when u think about it. You have to keep yourself going as normal as possible like u don't realize de realization. Don't question it. I mean remember what you thought of life before u experienced de realization. It did feel real. So it's always been what it always has. De realization is just another form of anxiety. Or irrational thought. And anxiety can give us tunnel vision when we're not relaxed so mix that with thinkin we're just watching life from glass and Bam u got justified in your brain of your anxiety concern. So there is no other way to go rather than knowing you're living life and staying busy
I’m going through this now. I’m glad I watched this - depersonalization was something that never occurred to me. I love weed & truly believe it is capable of having tremendous health benefits for certain people but i’ve come to terms with the fact that my life is better without it. Was a really weird thing to come to terms with because i really thought I’d smoke for the rest of my life in a sense.
Same 😂 I love weee but am thinking to quit it because how much it Can actually fuck you up. It was fun at first but ever since i ate a edible it cause me desrealization I might never touch it again
this desribes me perfectly, glad im not alone
@@Stoicsaiyan bro the same thing happened to me. My first few smoke sessions with friends were amazing but one day i had an edible at school and it was a nightmare. It's been over 5 years and i still feel different
@@punani_slayer4209 you still smoke and have good highs tho ? I think the main reason why you feel different is because your derealization still. And you haven’t moved on from the experience I’m slowly getting better and back to normal but edibles are no joke, they should literally be treated the same like shrooms or lsd they are POTENT asf
@@Stoicsaiyan yeah bro every time i smoked after that experience has been a bad trip. Just constant paranoia and anxiety. It's only enjoyable if I'm alone but even then I'll still feel paranoid. I quit smoking a few months ago. But yeah you're right edibles hit you like a truck lol one time i took 2 gummies and deadass forgot to breathe for like 3 minutes 😂 almost passed out
Living really authentically and truly trying to be engaged in the world around you are the 2 things that have helped me the most with derealization
I made the horrible accident of smoking weed all day everyday as I was going through the hardest time of my life and ended up stuck in a high-like reality where I felt so detached from the world, society, my passions, my interests, etc. and everything was replaced with heavy anxiety, worry, doubt, fear, and stagnance. My mind could not go back to normal. I tried to re-learn how to feel normal. But nothing worked and I was stuck for 3 years until I started becoming suicidal because I hadn't felt true happiness in years, so I finally opened up to a doctor who really listened to me and got me on lexapro and now my mind is back to normal. Worst experience of my life, and all I can do is mourn the lost 3 years of my life...
Same thing happened to me after chronic weed use. Smoked every day from age 19 to 23, and then suddenly started getting panic attacks and then depersonalization. Quit cold turkey. It sucked for about a year, and then I eventually felt normal again. Haven't smoked for two decades since. Probably saved me a lot of $$$ though, haha
Same boat. Literally lol.
Something in the weed changed.....it used to give you a wonderful body high, around 20 years ago it changed, it became entirely a mental high, In a bad way.
@@brianpeterson5516 i think it's just a matter of tolerance. You pump your system full of thc or any other mild toxin, and eventually your body gives.
@@brianpeterson5516 the amount of thc has tripled in the last 20 years and the amount of cbd has been lowered,
I’d recommend Indica cbd oil watch yourself fall asleep and completely relax
@@yumekko66 so before we smoke we should eat a cbd edible and then smoke to stop the panic ?
bro I had that and I think because I started flower so young it kinda messed me up it made me feel very awkward in social settings. I would be so stressed and depressed and one day I woke up and just knew something had to change so I changed my mindset and started to just be happy about living, and one day it went away. I never stopped smoking though I don't think I would have made it without the relaxing effects of the magical plant. kinda a catch 22 idk it hasn't came back except for one day a while ago which is really strange but it went away the day after.
I had this exact same shit ,one day the weed turned on me and I couldn’t shake the thought of death and loss and the surreal nature of our existence in the grand scheme of the universe,I was almost watching my face gain wrinkles infront of my eyes I was almost seeing glimpses of horrible moments into the future like being in hospital waiting rooms and being told the news of getting an illness or losing a loved one and actually feeling the real emotions and just feeling so helpless in my own mortality ,I still deal with it daily it’s fucking terrifying
It goes away, it feels like it won’t but it will go away. I had it for a good 8 months, but once I started working out everyday, going to sleep 7 hours a day and cooking for myself most nights out the week I’m good now. You’re still gonna have days where it creeps up, but it won’t be intense enough to give you anxiety or panic attacks anymore. It will end, you’re worth living.
That must have been some good shit ! Damn
Casual bad trip
I had the same thing man. Put up the weed for 2 weeks and then I tried to take a big hit from the bong that was packed with some really good stuff. Got too high and I eventually though about what death would look and be like from a first person POV. It scared me shitless and made me have a terrible night and I had a panic attack. I imagined it would be like turning an old tv off where the picture blinks out to the small point in the middle of the screen then disappears, along with a weird clapping sound. That whole evening I was so high and it felt like every thought I was having, was something I wasn't supposed to be thinking about. Sucks pretty bad when you feel unsafe and in the wrong for even thinking about anything in the first place. The night was so bad that I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. I started having an existential crisis for like 3 months after that, and it's only gone away after accepting that what I thought death would be like, was just a figment of my imagination. It felt like it was actually happening though because I was so high that my thoughts felt like they were actually happening to me in reality. I ended up having to move out of that apartment because 1. I needed a new place to live and 2. whenever I would walk nearby the spot where I had that thought of death, I would end up feeling a bit like how I did that night. It's gotten better only after moving and talking with people who had a near death experience, and them telling me that death isn't nearly as bad as we make it out to be. I was told by a few of them that the fear of death is far worse than actually being dead. Just enjoy this life you've got and only focus on things that are good. Don't think about death, because you're not supposed to.
If you spend your life worrying about death, then you've pretty much already lost your life. Hope this helps anyone out there that may have experienced the same thing
Had a very similar experience on LSD
I've been hardcore smoker most my life. I live in state where its legal. The strain is huge component on how you feel. But the resin is what causes anxiety. Do not use old pipes or bongs with resin coating the device...clean it every day. 2/3 of all weed causes anxiety (hybrid and sativa)...indica's less so. If you know what you are doing, you can remove the anxiety every time.
post is such a genuine and polite guy. Would love to crack a cold one with him and just chat it up. super humble
Can't believe post just brought up depersonalization. I had the same exact thing as him from a smoke sesh when I was younger. Lasted months.
You are lucky. I've been dealing with it for 15 years. No medication or therapy has helped. I'm constantly in a state of feeling detached from reality while feeling like my body is on autopilot. Physically it feels like I'm trapped in the back of my mind just watching things unfold on a giant screen. I had to drop out of college because my focus and intellect is so badly affected that I started failing every course even when trying my best. I now work minimum wage jobs because anything more causes me to get confused and make big mistakes. Thanks for the brain damage, shady dealer from the hood.
@@TheUnknownDungeon Question for the both of you. Had you done any MDMA in the time around when it started?
@@BigDoeJ424 nope. Never tried it. Only smoked pot twice and after the second time I stopped because of what happened. It literally caused me to black out and lose all sense of time and reality. Whenever I came out of the blackout I would be nearly blind because my vision was flickering non stop, I would panic and then go right into another blackout. The next day is when I realized how fucked up I was mentally with the depersonalization and derealization. I've been the same ever since. It's a nightmare.
@@TheUnknownDungeon Sound like spice, my friend had asimilar experience... Worst thing is that he did not even know it was spice. Just took a big hit and bam..

Just what everyone who wants to know if they can get better want to read... thanks :)
Crazy cause I was doing really well in university. Studying software engineering. Got into smoking weed, one day I picked up and smoked it when I got home. And it was different than anything I smoked before it. Ever since, I felt exactly how Post feels. Almost ended it and dropped out of school. Even in my best of days, active and productive, it still feels like I'm watching not living
I had this same thing happen, doesn't matter what your friends say - if you're somebody with an bit of a creative/slightly crazy or adhd mind naturally stay away from doing too many drugs... It can f*k you up & did to me - had this same experience & am now coming out of it, almost 8 months in. But was sheer hell - do know though, that as long as you don't ever touch drugs again you will recover & feel normal again, and that it does 200% get better even when it feels like it can't, meditation & grounding excercises really help - if you're feeling it, it's highly likely because you've either just experience an mild drug-enduced psycotic episode, or (in most cases 90% of the time) are experiencing pretty severe anxiety. Do know though that as long as you stay away from all substances (alcohol's ok, but does give anxiety) then you will 100% feel better. You can get through this!
Nah bro same shit I've smoked so much I was curled up on the couch shaking and hallucinating it just happens when the strain your smoking is really potient in thc I thought I was dieing. And it's worse when you have severe anxiety weed is powerful people misjudge it but you can over do it man it happens a lot with me
Friendly tip from somebody who's been a hardcore smoker for 30 years: switch to a different dealer. I guarantee you are smoking laced sh¡t.
I will not claim I've smoked everything under the sun, especially since nowadays, ten new stains seem to come to market every week. But I've always smoked the best and most powerful I could lay my hands on at the time. Amsterdam strains, Cali strains, old-school strains like Jack Herer, hash, dab, you name it, I've smoked it. All of it. For DECADES.
What you describe, I've experienced ONCE. From a batch of extremely questionable quality (rave in the middle of nowhere, ran out, only that sh¡t for sale, so I gave it a go). It was dry, crunchy, didn't look or smell good, didn't look like it would even get a novice high, let alone a hardcore smoker.
Sh¡t f***ed me up for HOURS, hallucinations, paranoid AF, you name it.
That sh¡t was laced, 💯%.
And so was yours. I GUARANTEE it. Do yourself a favor, and switch dealers. Or, better yet, find a spot to grow a couple, so you KNOW you're not smoking pesticides, herbicides, synthetic cannabinoids, or whatever else the kids these days are using to "upgrade" their oregano to "pot".
@@remcovanvliet3018 mine wasn't laced I know that I only get from dispensaries and I smoked like 8 or 9 grams when it happened, I've only been smoking for about 5 years I was shaking uncontrollable and cold as hell. And I think honestly I had a panic attack when it started because my heart was beating so fast and I just couldn't sit in one place. My mind was racing about anything and everything idk man I just probably shouldn't smoke so much in one sitting.
I had a really scary experience my friend gave me some weed called jelly runtz, I took one hit off the bong. Immediately everything started spinning, my heart was racing, I was seeing colors, and I was just wigging out. I was puking everywhere and shaking. When I tried laying down it felt like I was sinking through the floor. I thought I was genuinely dying. I gave up weed after that, but I decided to try again a few times and now I just feel extremely anxious and paranoid everytime I do it. So I just gave up all together. Not sure if my weed was laced but it was scary as fuck.
I went through that for a while but eventually I was able to ease back into it.
I was smoking one day and I wasn’t feeling like I was feeling anything so I kept smoking and smoking then eventually it felt like I couldn’t gulp to swallow air and it triggered a panic attack. I was on my hands and knees on the phone w my girlfriend, I thought I was being attacked by a ghost or something. After that I struggle with depersonalization for a while, I couldn’t eat, I would have panic attacks and my pupils would dilate and I’d start sweating. Getting a full time job and staying busy got rid of it slowly but it took years
Sounds like withdrawal from quitting too suddenly to me.
@@Ryan88881 I never got it diagnosed so I have no clue what really happened. I had a lot going on that year, a lot of stress, I also had a bad LSD trip 3 months before hand. I’m just glad whatever it was is gone because I couldn’t function at all
@@imchase7796 And it slowly dissipated right? Ya it's just interesting because literally everything you said even the part with the ghost is telltale weed withdrawal for me. It would feel almost like I took an anticholinergic/deliriant drug just because I *didn't* smoke.
Did you quit weed cold turkey after that bad high? Because if so that's probably what caused the later panic attacks and sweats and not eating. I remember the weed withdrawal getting so intense at some points that I would literally be scared of like.. phantoms and shit. Stuff that didn't make sense. And that was on top of the psychotic levels of depression.
Brooooo I know exactly what you mean it's called demonic attack. You Need to Pray to GOD in the Name of jesus Christ Bro
Sounds like god answered your prayers. Thank you god
