    Shortened Version At Bottom.

    Hey guys, I wouldn't exactly say I'm a seasoned smoker just because I am to young, but for the past month I have had open eye hallucinations when I am not high, things in the corners of my eyes, things right in front of me. Sweaters that are cats until I close and open my eyes. Trash cans that disappear when I look back. I have heard of people being "fried" because of smoking weed there entire life, then people who smoke there entire life and are fine. But is this normal? I've been smoking consistently for about 8 months, and the "hallucinations" are getting more consistent and common. Am I going insane? Is it a side effect from coming down? I mean I don't smoke for a day and I still see it. Has this happened to anyone here or anyone you know? Answers would be awesome before I go to my doctor and diagnosed insane.

    Shortened Version:
    - Been smoking for about 8 months consistently.
    - See open eye hallucinations when I am NOT high.
    - All visual, none auditory hallucinations.
    - Has this happened to you or someone you know?

    Thanks guys.

    P.S: Reason I posted this here is figured more expierenced guys and gals can help me.

    Actually in a very small percentage of people cannabis can cause psychosis-like symptoms. Until you figure out what is causing this I would suggest you stop.

    Is there any history of psychosis or schizophrenia in your family? Have you done *any* other drugs?

    There is a name for what you are experiencing but iv totally forgotten it.
    Its caused by doing hallucinogens and even by smoking cannabis.
    Its described as being like flashbacks, but very short.

    I would suggest you stop smoking immediately if you want any hope of recovering and see a doctor asap.

    Stop smoking and get to a psychiatrist. Hallucinations aren't something that are supposed to happen when you're sober, and as oldskoolgrower pointed out check out your family history. If you've got any history of scizophrenia or psychosis in your family get yourself checked out.

    Are you sleep deprived? I've got issues with chronic insomnia (which is why I'm here at 5:14AM and not asleep) and hallucinate various things throughout the day because of it. Stuff only ever appears out of the corner of my eyes, but as soon as I move they go away. If not sleeping is something you can fix, do it.

    Seeing a doctor and/or psychiatrist is the best advice possible. It could be something minor like sleep deprivation or a dietary issue, but it could also be very serious.

    Better safe than sorry.

    Take a month T break and see a doctor. If it's weed causing this then you must stop immediately. As good as MJ is, it's not worth your sanity.

    I can relate small hallucinations to bud; but nothing to the extent of seeing a whole garbage pale disappear.

    The type I have are more like, I think I saw a bird fly by; generally something very quick and hard to distinguish.

    ^ +1

    this kinda happens to me though, if i've been smoking a lot i'll notice more things out of the corner of my eye and look and realize nothing was there, it could sometimes be a reflection if i'm wearing glasses though, it isn't a huge deal for me, still id say get it checked out
