I've been to my optometrist (eye doctor) for a visit and 2 follow-ups cause I was seeing shit like static and trails behind lights and mad floaters right. Well it turns out its hppd(trippy shit) I was wondering wtf was wrong with me and then out of NO WHERE I stumbled on this...its like a signbongsmilie lol anyway heres the post I read that made me stop freaking out about it(I thought I was FUCKED) heres the link to the whole thread http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=360

"I just thought I'd let you all know that I developed HPPD from smoking weed. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a catch-all medical term for having semi-permanent or permanenteffects from a drug (like those who have trails after taking acid or experience flashbacks of bad trips). I developed a field of colored static that overlays everything I see after my first month smoking weed regularly (almost three years ago). It's hard to describe, but when it's light out, I see a semi-transparent colored static over everything, sort of like the snow on television sets, only it is neon and multi-colored. It seems to follow the shapes of objects, taking on vertical or horizontal patterns. After I continued smoking regularly it grew stronger, and now that I smoke very irregularly it has not grown discernably weaker. When it's night out it seriously impairs my night vision (which used to be better than 20/20). I know it's weed that gave me the HPPD because it was the only drug I did at the time, and, interestingly, I have no lasting effects from other hallucinogens (like mushrooms, acid, or salvia). It doesn't bother me anymore except when I pay attention to it, and since I've had it for nearly three years now I can pretty much ignore it.


I haven't done much research but haven't really heard of anyone developing HPPD exclusively from weed. Does anyone else have lasting visual or auditory effects they can clearly attribute to weed? One can't really prove causation if they were taking copious amounts of acid at the same time as smoking. I guess it's not really surprising seeing as weed's classified as a hallucinogen, I was merely curious if anyone else had lasting visual effects from regular use of this drug. "

I don't remember the last day that I did not smoke and my eyes and ears are in perfect shape.

it is also classified as having no medicinal importance:roll:..... I have never heard of any claims such as yours. can you back up this claim with anything from a legitimate scientific/medical source??

It'd be a perma-trip. And i'm always down for something like that. Tripping without the use of any drugs ;p

HPPD cannot be caused by Marijuana, although the drug may temporarily aggrevate pre-existing HPPD symptoms.[11]

Cannabis is not a hallucinogen. That bit was brought to you by the same people who brought you such gems as "cannabis is deadly and should be outlawed".

its a quote from someone else foo! yea don't hate its not my claim. Oh ya and I definitely have hppd I was freaking out thinking maybe it was retinal detachent but it wasn't so I chilled. But I still noticed really weird visual disutrbances and even as I'm typing this I assure you its like a wall of light snow(super light...not enough to really matter but enough to be noticable), and I definitly see spots and flashes randomly throughout the day:) Not saying its bad but its real...at least for me. I'm a youngin though and I smoked out on straight chronic all day(big ass bowls of dank several times a day) for about a month so maybe that wore some shit out idk when I take a break it seems to be less noticable as opposed to the night after smoking. Last time I smoked I threw up and fell asleep with my shoes on...I still don't know what "MODERATION" is? lol
