Weed hangovers are super common!
That feeling of being still high after you’ve slept, is something that even the most experienced smokers can sometimes encounter.
But what happens when that feeling lasts for days?
Can a weed hangover last a week, or longer?
If you’re still experiencing feelings of being high long after the weed should be out of your system -- and especially if you’ve had a bad or frightening weed experience -- it’s very possible that what you’re now experiencing is not the effects of the weed, but the symptoms of Depersonalization and Derealization.

Suffered from DP/DR, and anxiety for 1 month after eating 1 edible. What helped me to get better was being closed to god, magnesium glycinate for the anxiety, positive mind, eating healthy, constant communication with doctor and now I’m 99% back to normal, It’s been 1 month and 5 days. Good luck everyone I’ll be praying for you all.
Thanks for your comment, and delighted to hear you're doing so well! 😊
Still so high that u wrote such a big para ,amazing🙌
Thanks man, god bless you
How many milligrams did u take?
@@norbertowitt6877 How will u even know when you’re recovering? I’m on month 2 as well. Still not feeling any better 😓
This explains soo much of what I was feeling. I try to tell people it's the worst experience I've ever felt, and they look at me like I'm crazy, cause weed is great. It was me this whole time lol
So glad it was helpful Hannah 😊
I had a awful experience the first time. But after the first 3 times or so it gets better but I regret not stopping weed after because now I am addicted and its hard to stop but I don't want to stop yet because I've only done weed like 5 months
@@sensfan7550is your cannabis use making your life worse or getting in the way of what you want to get done? Like do you get high early in the day and then put off going to the store or getting chores, exercising etc done? Have you missed work or school because of your cannabis use? How many times a week would you say you consume cannabis? Do you use cannabis to escape reality? Answering these questions will help you figure out if you have a problem with cannabis, but there’s nothing wrong with using cannabis to relax occasionally.
@@sensfan7550just don’t smoke every day. Look Im 19 and id say when I was 17 I was drunk and decided to smoke for the first time bong. It was a bad idea and I bad trip that night. When I woke up I was still fonctional but a bit off. Just like I was still high. I didn’t at that time but it was depersonalization. This feeling of constantly thinking I was high or being afraid of never going back to normal lasted for about 3 months and the best tip from one of my friend was to stop focusing on it. And it worked. This didnt stop me from smoking weed. I’d say for one more year I smoked really frequently and it was great but ultimately I was getting more and more lazy. I’m a student at college in architecture and I was getting my work done last minute and even tho my grades were good it’s just wasn’t a good feeling. It’s been like 2 months that’s I’ve chose to stop buying weed and focusing on becoming a better person. Started to go to gym and eat better and I started to regain a reel purpose in life. Of course I’ll always smoke weed cause it’s so good for you but just don’t abuse it don’t do it everyday because at the end of every day the only thing you’ll want is to be high. And that’s not the purpose of life. Hope that helps with your addiction but honestly only YOU can change it. It’s all in the mental. If you really want to change it will be easy just like it was for me. It’s not that difficult just take a break.
the thing that actually gets me back the fastest is doing sport, making the connection between mind and body faster
Exercise was super helpful in my recovery too! 😊
It’s because there’s still a lot of THC etc stored in your fat cells. Excecise helps a lot because of this
This guy just saved my life. Thank you so much. I don't think I would've ever ben cured without this channel.
So happy to hear that 😊
I have been interested high / dream state for like 4 days from a single weed vape toke. It almost had completely cleared come the end of this video. Thanks man... I thought I was doomed or something
Happy to help! 😊
Me too I’m still feeling it it’s technically my second day and my friend gone through this and it took weeks just know my brother your not alone just stay calm and don’t overthink ❤️
thank you for this video, i had a terrible anxious high yesterday. i feel like i’m in a video game😭it’s so reassuring to know that other people are going through the same thing as me. i hope this scary experience goes away soon 😅
Glad the video was helpful 😊 And don't worry, I know it's a scary feeling but it's temporary and harmless and you can and will get 100% back to normal 😊
Did it go away?
I've smoked weed for 11 years and the other day it just hit me awfully bad. I'm 3 weeks deep into this feeling and it was starting to get helpless feeling. Very happy i found this. I think it's the only thing that was grounding enough to calm me down.
Glad you found the video helpful, and welcome to the channel 😊
I‘ve had this for 5 years.
Now im doing fine
just watching these videos has made me feel a lot better i’ve smoked heavily for the past 6 years and had a couple bad highs back to back recently and decided to quit and thought i was going crazy questioning everything but thank you for putting my mind at ease now i can focus on getting back to normal
I'm delighted to hear that the videos have been helpful! 😊
Such a quality video man, respect!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Thanks so much for this video - you're a legend.
Glad it helped 😊
happened to me from a couple edibles on my first time. Haven’t touched it since. But it last 3-4 weeks, crazy anxiety at the beginning, just nothing felt right/real, I didn’t care about anything, music was great lol, but time was passing by slow. Anyways, after reading into it there were a few comments that say STOP RESEARCHING IT!!!
Please, just trust me stop reading up on it, stop thinking about it, just go live your life, find a new hobby, go workout, go sleep, just get your brain distracted. Just like a good song you can’t stop playing, eventually you stop playing it. You need to stop thinking about it and it will eventually go away.
just wanted to give input of my situation and potentially help you calm yourself down.
Thanks for your comment, and yes absolutely, researching the condition too much can be very counterproductive! www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-forums-why-you-must-avoid-them/
Bro , i consumed 4 edibles cannabis
And after 2hrs it hited me hard , everything was going in slomo .
And after the next day i started getting anxiety, i started overthinking that ill not go mad . Will my brain cells go dead ,
I get very nervous thinking all this , i visited psychiatrist just to conform am i suffering from schizophrenia or pshhcosis but doc told everything is fine . Today is the 20th day i still feel like im in that high mode that hitted me
Pls reply im fucking deepressed
Bro are you oky now..?
@@Allin-nt2lv uhm just dont think about it. and never do it again. i always have little periods of dpdr after a bad sesh for like a week. go sport or hang out with friends. try to do everything to distract your mind and you will forget it in a week. and yeah dont research about it
Wow, I feel so accepted and not judged by this video! I've had a few instances where the hangover lasted a few days and due to uncomfortable experiences and past trauma I believe it could be DPDR. As of late I've been smoking because I believe it helps me seriously question myself, and almost releases a level of inhibition that allows me to recognize certain conflicting beliefs that might be causing anxiety in my day to day life. I also seriously enjoyed how you pretty much defined how marijuana induced DPDR (and possibly DPDR in general) can lead to rumination at around 5:12 I enjoyed this video very much
I'm delighted that the video was so helpful! 😊
This was incredibly insightful.
Thank you
Glad it was helpful 😊
This is the best explanation I have ever heard for what happened to me over 50 years ago! And 50 years ago, no one knew any of this. Made my life miserable until the 90s! Thanks so much for doing this:)
Wow, I had it back in 2005 and it was almost impossible to find any info about it -- I can imagine how it was 50 years ago ! Anyways, I'm very glad the video was helpful! 😊
@@Dpmanual Thanks for writing. Imagine this: The year was 1972, I was 20 and having the time of my life. I had just got a great job and was feeling great. A buddy of mine and I set off the smoke some weed, which I enjoyed. We stopped and bought a bunch of jelly donuts and ate them on the way to the local park. (My blood was probably pure sugar by time we got there.) I rolled up a huge joint as we parked of some unknown weed. It started raining as we lit it up and started passnig back and forth. All of sudden everything turned into a Peter Max cartoon and I started to laugh and enjoy trip. But then I got a little anxious thinking the pot was laced with something! The next thing I knew I fell into an unending series of "why" questions that would not stop!!! The panic set in and I was sure I was going to go completely crazy!!! I then felt like I was outside of myself, just totally detached. OMG, how scary it was and felt so weird! I begged my buddy to get us out of the park. We went and got some 3.2 beer. I thought it would help bring me down. Well, I was terrified for the rest of the night. I went home and slept ok, but the next day I was anything but normal. I went to my new job and started to feel all those feelings of unreality! What had I done??? Then I was on the outside looking in again, like through a pane of glass! Wow, more terror and trapped at my new job!!! I suffered from the fear of panic attacks for over twenty years after that until I finally was clinically depressed enough from the wear to seek out a therapist. Thank God, I found a good one. The education began and I slowly began to understand what had happened to make me a prisoner of panic all those years ago. One more thing... if would have tried to seek help back in the 70s, it would have been futile as little was known about the science. They probably would have gave me shock treatments!!!
@@SimpleWisdom-tm8td Wow, thank you for sharing your story! And that's actually so similar to my own story, I went to Amsterdam and smoked a joint that was much stronger than I had anticipated, had a panic attack and developed Depersonalization Disorder soon after 😬
Nice video. You hit every point !
Experienced this often but at one point I began to discover that it was associated with the nature of my mind. Through learning about myself I realised I was a severe over thinker. The more I worked on that the more I began to realise/understand the nature of my “weed hangover” experience.
Nice video
Didn’t have this type of reference point when it happened to me a while back.
Glad you found it so helpful 😊
@@Dpmanual is there any reason why my mine hits only at night before it was all day now its only at night my vision gets kinda blurry its been 1 month

My experience lasted about 10 days and would come back here and there for another 3 months after..dont worry it does go away and never comes back. Wish there was this research at the time im sure i would of felt better alot sooner.
Glad to hear you're feeling better! 😊
back in 2020 i suffered from dp/dr i remember feeling helpless and like i was gonna feel like that forever after about 2 years i completely recovered thanks to this guy, yesterday i thought it was time i smoked again well i did in fact relive the nightmare i tried to get rid of for years. it hurt my soul to feel that feeling again after so long of overcoming it. reality is i know how to deal with it and i know i can get rid of it so thank you so much for teaching me an so many people i hope i can overcome this nightmare again soon
Is it really worth doing it again? For me, I don't think so still recovering after 1.5 months I can't even think about touching it again or any other substance for quite a while
thanks man this helped me answer a few questions....
Glad I could help! 😊
Explained very well. Thanks I ate an edible and I went through those symptoms.
Scared me little, but I came through!
Glad to hear you're feeling better! 😊👍
Glad to hear you're feeling better! 😊👍
I am happy to have found your channel. I’ve had DP/DR for 20 years. I had it before there was a name for it and before there were any support groups or understanding about it. I’m happy things have changed so much. I’m happy that your experience lasted only 2 years. Mine started after childhood and teen emotional trauma and then weed. In all my time with this feeling, it never changes. It only gets worse at times and then returns to the normal baseline. Do you know any resources or info about such long term symptoms?
I come to these videos to avoid this fear mongering... please refrain from scaring everyone with how long you've had it.
@@mysticalfluffy можно помогите пожалуйста
@@EdenUptonnew Don't talk to people in the DP/DR community (or anybody) this way. Nobody's experience is invalid or fear-mongering, it simply is. Your clearly utopian ideology does not supersede reality.
@@mysticalfluffy Thanks for the tips fluffy! Did you use iron supplements to correct your iron levels?
Exactly the same with me.
Terrifying shit, smoked an indica hybrid vape pen and I freaked out and thought I was having a stroke and that my brain was melting and that I was dying, fucked me up with anxiety all night and all next day after.
It's a scary experience for sure, and much more common than people think. Thanks for your comment and I hope you're feeling better! 😊
I felt like am more connected to everything
thank you so much!!
Im 19.
i had hhc for the first time more then a month ago, two puffs, made my life hell, i had panic attack for the first time that day, thinking i was gonna die, felt so horrible plus i was high.. 4 days after i was just shaking and felt dizzy, then it stopped somehow and i was okay for 2 days then i had another panic attack when i though i was gonna die when i just breathed wrong before bed, i was thinking that was the end, i never had a panic attack before, since then i had anxiety and i felt really nervous about my body, like is there something wrong with me? every pain on my body every pressure, every weird thing was scary i started noticing everything what's going on with my body and i was thinking i have health anxiety for a long time, then the i had nonstop ringing in my ears witch caused anorher panic attack, then the depersonalisation hit, i was so scary i thought I was going insane, then i noticed that i don't feel like myself anymore, which feels scary because my only fear was losing myself, now i feel like im not even here, i cant even go anywhere because what if i panicked, i was at work yesterday and just stared like a damn robot, my eyes wide open, my muscles stiff, occasional tics, my coworkers was so confused about what's going on with me, i tried so hard to look normal or act normal, then i panicked went downstairs and cried because i noticed I can't even do things normally like i used to, then i saw one of your videos about depersonalisation and it felt amazing, i feel better still not like myself and anxious, that's why im going to psychologist so i can work in myself already
Remember the first time I smoked a lot w a buddy was high for about 4 weeks like I was watching a tv show n I felt like a static tv screen all day was in about 8th grade and only thing that would help was sleeping one day did my usual and slept in science class and woke up and it was gone felt like I just missed a portion of my life was very odd I still smoke today and never rlly stopped it felt like I was just always high would stumble sentences but once it left and I smoked in moderation I’ve never had it happen again until I took a Xanax prescribed and it happened again for about 6 days along w bouts of nausea
Hi Shaun, would you advice watching your DP contents like these recovery stories or any videos regarding to DP during one’s recovery? I’ve finished your manual so I understand I should stay away from forums and videos etc and I wondered if that included here as well.
I have seen one of the recovery story videos from your channel but then I worried if I should have waited till I’m fully recovered.
I got a little too high the first time. I smoked and I didn’t know that weed can make you tingly. It scared me so I googled it. And with the help of Google I convensed myself I had nerve damage and might die. After the high it mostly went away.
It would come back every once in a while but it wasn’t that bad or frequent. A few months later I was very lonely. And this time it came back and I felt crazy. I thought I might have Schizophrenia. It lasted for months until it finally went away.
This video explains so much. I thought i was crazy.
Glad the video was helpful 😊 And don't worry, you're not 'going crazy' or anything like that: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-three-reasons-youre-not-going-crazy-2/
I really needed this. I gave weed a second chance different from an edible and with a vape type pen. And i took a very deep inhale and 20 minutes later i was freaking out and didn't want to be around people and was nearly shouting for my friends to take me somewhere with less people. I think weed just isn't for me.
Weed is extremely strong nowadays, you should try weak stuff or cbd weed.
1:18 I took 4 instead of one yesterday. I read so many reports of people doing it and I thought it would never happen to me. But at some point I thought the weed probably wasn't decarbed enough so it doesn't work. Then I started eating them like food/candy instead of a drug, pretty stupid I know. About 24 hours later and I'm still feeling woozy but it's not too bad, time is going way faster but I'm actually productive learning and I don't get bored from learning instantly like I usually do. Probably not depersonalisation.
Most of the time when i get it is scary, i question why am i at work, why do i need money, why am doing this? Weird questions when i go through this , i got it from weed i had existential crisis, is like if i don’t know my self in my own memories
And the most scary symptom i get is where im super aware im an actual human , living , feels like the world just spawned in , like im gonna have to die someday , i would do anything to be the old me these thoughts scare me the most existential thoughts, hope who ever reads, or who can relate may get through this torture feeling .
I live in that space of those questions
Don’t worry, existential / intrusive thoughts like that are super common with DPDR. I know they can be frustrating and frightening but they are also temporary and harmless and will fade away and stop as your recovery continues 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-fears-and-anxious-thoughts/

You back to normal?
This is exactly what happened to me! At first I thought I had a bad trip, but the symptoms of DP didn't go away for 4 days. Luckily, your channel helped me to calm down and overcome DP.
I don't want to advertise myself here, but I actually wrote a song about my experiences with DP that I released a few weeks ago. It's called "Autopilot" and I combined my thoughts and the experiences of some of the guests on this channel into one song that I think describes DP very well.
So glad the channel was helpful in your recovery! 😊 And I'd love to hear the song, drop a link in the comments!
I gotta say that is the perfect name for a song about DP because I’ve always described my experience as everything you do is autopilot it almost felt like I’m not thinking and I just knew what to do.
Thx U so much
Happy to help ☺️❤️

I had a very bad experience my first time smoking 6 years ago and didn’t do it for the following year. For the past 4 years I have been doing it a couple times per year and noticed myself feeling lazy after but that’s about it until this year. I have done it a couple times a month this year and now a lot of these symptoms arise the next couple days after smoking. Could they all be from the first bad experience? Could it just be my bodies reaction to weed but now I’m just doing it frequent enough to notice a pattern?
This is happening to me right now after I took edibles 2 days ago for the first time. Seriously scary
Hey, thanks for your comment 😊 I know DPDR can be scary but just remember that it’s a natural reaction to stress and anxiety, and people experience it all the time. The National Institute on Mental Illness estimates that up to 75% of people experience at least one depersonalization / derealization episode in their lives. It's part of your brain's natural defence mechanism and usually it only lasts a few seconds or minutes at a time. It's only when it's focused on as a separate problem (feeling like you're going crazy / in a dream etc) that it can turn into a feedback loop with the anxiety that caused it in the first place. But no matter what caused it or how long you've had it, you can always switch it off completely by stopping that anxious feedback loop. Make sure to carefully read through all the articles and info on my website at www.dpmanual.com and my book The Depersonalization Manual.
And if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so. I would recommend finding an anxiety specialist if possible as they will likely be more familiar with DPDR 👍
The experience I had with high THC content markedly differed from that with lower or medium-strength strains or smoking blends containing small amounts or low potency. I recognize the sensations; the effects are unpredictable and vary across strains. Certain strains are particularly unpleasant for me, though others may find them more suitable. The sensations often resembled motion sickness, similar to the feeling of sinking in ocean waves. I no longer use cannabis and feel better for it. The dissociative highs were especially disagreeable, frequently causing dizziness and nausea, and once even leading to vomiting. I regard the plant as neither a friend nor an enemy; to me, it is a neutral entity that impacts me in its own way. I have stopped using it and choose to abstain from any recreational substance use, including alcohol and anything that alters my perceptions. This personal choice does not align with the preferences of some of my friends, but we respect each other's decisions. After a few months of experimenting, I ceased using it. This experience, though less severe than the 'reefer madness' narrative, taught me an important lesson: to respect plants that can both teach and punish. It reinforced my understanding of what is suitable for each individual. I realized that Cannabis Sativa does not serve a significant purpose for me. Objectively, it does not fulfill a medical need, except for teaching me that it is not compatible with my biology or brain structure. You're not alone, and you will be okay, trust me and yourself and the surroundings and understand that you're real and inside reality and it is a normal typical reaction to new substances, as a reaction when a person body firstly needs to recognize the substance ingested.
For those who suffers from an existential thought, God can heal you . I was once in the same condition as you and I thought that I will mever be back to normal . Afraid of schizophrenia but It is just your brain who lies to you .
God can heal you ✨

You’re welcome 😊
Has it been this long? I do not remember the last time I was high for over an hour from either smoking or edibles? Is this different for everyone? Like do some genetics make you more or less high so to say? I have never had any of these things happen to me because of weed. I did experience almost identical things on the hard drug 4MMC but never with weed
I get this kind of effect if too much THC. Thankfully it leaves after an hour or so. Reality becomes really weird and not a good way.

Hey, thanks for your comment 😊 Don’t worry, that all sounds like a very typical case of weed-induced DPDR to me.

Hey I would greatly appreciate a response to this comment because it would really ease my worries. I’m 16 and have smoked pretty much every day since I was 14 (really bad I know) and recently I have felt super disconnected from reality and like a lot of the things you are describing, but I never had a panic attack or bad high or anything. I just kinda am like this now. I stopped smoking a few days ago and I’m not feeling any better. It’s really scary because although some symptoms are what people talk about when they describe dpdr, some seem like they are unique to me. Like I can’t even watch movies or shows anymore because there’s too much going on for me to even understand. I hope this makes sense

It's part of your brain's natural defence mechanism and usually it only lasts a few seconds or minutes at a time. It's only when it's focused on as a separate problem (feeling like you're going crazy / in a dream etc) that it can turn into a feedback loop with the anxiety that caused it in the first place. But no matter what caused it or how long you've had it, you can always switch it off completely by stopping that anxious feedback loop. Make sure to carefully read through all the articles and info on my website at www.dpmanual.com and my book The Depersonalization Manual.
And if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so. I would recommend finding an anxiety specialist if possible as they will likely be more familiar with DPDR 👍
I’m feeling this for last 3 days.

I smoke weed for 6 years straight until one day i had bad trip it was like i can't breathe or choking or i can't sense my body and lose sensation, my body became numb i can't do anything expect noticing my breathe, i had dry mouth and dizzy head and racing heart. I'm still not sure whether it was an weed induced panic attack or a dr/dp.
Hey, thanks for your comment 😊 Don’t worry, that all sounds like a very typical case of weed-induced DPDR to me. I know it can be frightening but remember that it's just your body and brain's natural response to stress and anxiety. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you 😊 You can and will recover.

What if weed was laced can u recover
Hi Shawn. You mentioned in one of your videos that your DP/DR lasted 2 years, because of the constant need for checking forums, discussions, overall bringing on extra stress. Although, you said that you did that for 1 year and a half. If there were around half a year left of you pushing good habits into reflecting within DP/DR, did it take you that long to recover? I’ve had it for a day now, but I’m wondering if it will be a long process.

Good advice! 😊
Everything which familiar to me like things, thoughts, people and places are started feeling unfamiliar when i think about them. Is that normal?

Same here man. I’ve gotten used to the feeling as well so I don’t feel anxious as well. I do take advantage of being hyper vigilant and aware from being in that fight or flight mode I assume. I do see things from a different point of view and notice things that I would never have noticed before but even then it’s not worth feeling like this forever. I wish you the best of luck.

mr rn
So I’ve been smoking this cart and I’ve been smoking it everyday at night for about a week so I have felt detached from reality but I’m not scared it’s just trippy I don’t feel high but I kind of do I only smoke at night and I sleep it off but then when I wake up I feel what your talking about here I’m not scared but it’s trippy I can’t explain it and my cart is very high thc and I only smoke at like 9-10 pm and I haven’t had a “bad trip” I haven’t really been nervous while high and I don’t think I’ve ever had a panic attack, but as I said I only smoke at night and I wake up like that without anxiety and all that what do you think?
Don't worry, DPDR isn't always caused by something as clear and obvious as a panic attack 😊

Hi Shaun, it has been approximately 2 years since i first had the weed trip that gave me DP. I haven’t experienced DP in so long and i feel like i am no longer afraid of it. Do you think it is safe if to start smoking again. I haven’t smoked once since the initial trip.
Hi Marcos! 😊 So ultimately the decision to smoke weed again is up to you. I do know of some people who have made complete DPDR recoveries and who have safely gone back to smoking weed. However, I would strongly recommend that you avoid all strains of weed and other drugs completely at the very least until you've made a complete and 100% recovery.
Also, you do need to understand there's always going to be a risk that the weed could trigger another panic attack and more feelings of DPDR. Now, once you've recovered from chronic DPDR and understand what the condition is, it's very unlikely to return as an ongoing condition -- because if you ever encounter the feelings again you recognize them and can allow them to pass naturally. Again, I wouldn't recommend doing it myself, but the decision is up to you. Hope that helps! 😊

I greened out a couple weeks ago. It was my first time greening out and I did what you said in the video. Which was taking 2 edibles. Greening out was a scary experience and at first I didn’t get dpdr. Just a few days ago I started feeling like I wasn’t real and I’m in a dream. I worried too much about greening out which I guess led to this feeling. But when ever I’m with friends sometimes I forgot about it and sometimes I remember. Is there any advice on what I should do so I could recover quicker? I’m still pretty young and learning.

Hey Shaun, do you have to give up weed for life or can you still smoke after recovering from DP? Because I had DP for 2 years but have since recovered although I did smoke during that time period to help ease my anxiety, can DP fully come back because sometimes I feel that familiar trigger when trying to give weed up or randomly smoking strong weed
