Just to reference the original trip, here is my original post: http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=435373 So After having that trip, I experienced a flashback (or what I thought to be one) a month or so later. To be honest, as scary as the original trip was, and how relatively brief the flashback was, I'd say it was much scarier, in that I was losing my mind having not taken any drug at all. I had pulled an all-nighter working on a project and ended up going to sleep at around 10 am, with class in just about an hour. I didn't get much sleep, just kinda lied there and drifted in and out for a bit, but then I just started getting weird thoughts. They were at first funny, but then turned curious, then confusing, then insane. To best describe it, it was some object orbiting around some other object, but I couldn't visualize what point it was actually orbiting around, yet it kept orbiting. Anyway, however you might be able to see that, it got pretty horrible. The idea of how to percieve and visualize this just kept exploding in my mind, and I just couldn't comprehend it, and suddenly I started panicing, as this concept just got louder and louder. At this point I realized I must be having some sort of flashback, and didn't know what to do. After pacing around my room frantically, I ran outside, and it eventually stopped, but it left me practically petrified all day. Not only that but it actually made me frightened to go to sleep and even THINK of weird thoughts from then on. So I thought ok, I had a flashback, maybe I can move on now. Apparently not. Yesterday was an immensely stressful day, balancing friend issues, college transfer enrollment deadlines, finals, class sign up, an infestation of ants in my room, just lots of things. I went to bed just trying to calm myself down the best I could, and I eventually dozed off. Then it happened. I woke up (I only later found out it was like 2 am and I had gone to sleep around midnight) what it seemed to be only a minute later, yet I felt I had dreamed so much. I felt I had signed up for classes in that time, yet couldn't comprehend how I could do that in such in instant. Then I just started thinking, did I even go to sleep?? What just happened?? Am I losing it again??! Then I started to panic heavily. I knew what was happening. I tried to calm myself down, but the thought that I might be having a flashback was just to powerful to ignore. It's like trying not to think of polar bears, when someone says think of anything but polar bears. It's just about impossible. I ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror, and did some heavy breathing, some deep breaths to calm myself down, as I looked at my reflection and told myself to just relax. I was still shaking hysterically and felt very cold. This didn't work too well. So I went back to bed, and had to watch videos on my phone all night just to calm myself enough to go to sleep. I eventually went to sleep, but I'm still pretty scared by this experience. How long will this go on for? Am I crazy? I don't know what to do know, I've become so afraid of thinking certain thoughts and feel very confused. Please Help!
The original trip was from a weed edible by the way. My only trip ever. All info on this is in the original post in the link above.
I understand that THC taken orally is three times as psychoactive, but I wasn't aware that a flashback could occur from an edible. Are you sure its not just a reoccurring thought you came across while high? I've seen someone have a scary flash back and he needed to be physically restrained because he was so delusional, but he was a long time heavy LSD user, so I could understand a flashback. Maybe this will clear things up: http://www.thegooddrugsguide.com/lsd/effects.htm
