Weed often gives me incredibly intense hyperphantasia does anyone else get this? Like, in my head, I start seeing all sorts of crazy cartoony bullshit and characters and maps of places and it feels like I can imagine anything or watch a movie in my head

i’ve seen you post this a few times, and honestly i’d be careful. i feel like this might be schizophrenia or some other psych disorder. this is very much not normal from weed. have you been evaluated for anything like that?

From what ive been told such things are only considered indicitive of an illnesss if they take the form of actual hallucinations that are indistinguishable from reality. What im writing of now are just on the thoughts. Like if you imagine an apple theres kind of like a picture in your head? Thats what im getting just way more extreme than sober and I dont get them as much now that I have tolerance. The only person ive talked to who had this was my mom.

I experience this as well, but I’m also Autistic and have hyperphantasia at baseline—although it’s significantly “stronger” after smoking. OP isn’t talking about hallucinations or delusions, just incredibly vivid mental images (almost like daydreams). It would only be a cause for concern if they were experiencing delusions, hallucinations, persistent paranoia and ideas of reference while high/after smoking.

Thats how it is for me too, also autism + hyperphantasia. The first couple times I got high i would see shit like an entire world map made out of pizza
