to be honest this guy really doesnt know what hes talking about. first of all, marijuana CAN cause dpd...it doesnt always but it does cause it...weed actually can trigger a part of your brain vulnerable to getting dpd, psychosis will develop and there you go everything is now "fake" to you.

@Flatbr33 I've had that happen too. And ever since smoking that pot, I've not felt right since. Its alright, talk to loved ones and find a good outlet, such as drawing or writing. Hell, keep a journal and someday, maybe it'll be published and help others.....Im trying to get through it still, and its been four or more years since I've smoked it....and Im still not right. Hopefully I wake up and it will be gone one day :(

@Flatbr33 Yeh that happens to be every few days, but that's because of mental problems.

@Flatbr33 yeah man, my last panic attack was from that actually. you have nothing to worry about, you just need to stop smoking for a while and just chill out!

@Flatbr33 Wow... You got that from smoking weed? I need to get me some of that stickyicky!

It happened for the first time in November on the way to a mac miller concert. Everything seemed unreal almost cartoonish and i KNOW FOR A FACT it wasnt laced. Noone else felt like this. I could feel my heart racing and it started to freak me out to the point where i couldnt focus and i felt like i was going crazy. Its happened about 4 times and the other day i felt like i lost all sense of reality and i even felt like when i looked in the mirror i didnt recongize myself. Any1 else felt this? :d

I just want you to make this absolutely clear: Once one rids themselves of the underlying causes and "gets well" does one (and do you) feel near exactly the same as before one got the disorder.

Hey Harris,

Thanks for posting this video but I must say that I dont agree with your "Marijuana doesnt cause it, the underlying stress causes by the drug (does)"

The reason I dont agree is because I used to smoke mid grade bud and got paranoid all the time, yet never got induced anxiety/realization.

Yet when I smoked stronger strains (higher thc/lower cbd) I got induced anxiety 2 weeks after I sobered up! Never bot paranoid during the high. I think THC causes this, not yourself!

One time back in the days when i went to 2 grade.. i just walked alone and suddenly i tought what if im realy dreaming, what if im just laying in a hospital bed and dreaming. Man i cried .. i cried more than anyone could imagen.. the teachers send me home, and for days i just could not get over that tought. Was this derealaziaton?

Yep. On and off for about 8 years. Fortunately, mostly off, and it was much worse when I was in my teens/twenties. And I had a bad relapse about 5 years ago, but been fine since then.
