I smoked weed last time three months ago, and before that I smoked for about a year, on and off.
I have visuals all over my visual field like a filter, looks like tiny particles or grains, which stared couple months before I quit for good. It hasn't left me ever since.
It't very pronounced in dark, looking at the night sky (I can barely differentiate stars from it) and on colored walls.
It's definitely not a problem with my eyes, as I've had them cheked out by a doctor twice since the time I've had it.
Anyone got a clue how to get rid of it? It's really depressing, read about it on the internet and some called it hppd or visual snow, but there wasn't a single case of it occuring solely from weed, everyone describes consuming at least one more drug, like lsd or mdma, which I've never done.
is it possible the weed was laced with something?

You're talking about floaters? Those are natural usually.

I wish I was. Definitely not floaters.

Could be, but I really can't know for sure. I was always getting it from the same guy who never mentioned dealing anything else. Had bags of MJ with him etc., from what it seemed he was a weed only guy.
Would I even know if it'd been laced? Never tasted or smelled foul.
Look up visual snow. Pic related
>I have it too
Work on your breathing and don't consume any drugs. If you must, drink or use opiates/benzo/anything like those. Absolutely nothing psychedelic.
And it is possible to get from just smoking weed.
what likely happened is that this is something that you (and likely all people) experience all the time, but for most of us, our brains are adept at filtering this out. Just like visual snow.
While you got all potted up, you became aware of this happening and now your brain doesn't cover it up anymore.
retrain your brain.

Why is it not floaters?

When I was doing a lot of drugs (mostly LSD, weed, nitrous) I had it, but it did go away after a few months. Worrying about it seemed to bring it on, so I just tried not to think about it and that helped a lot. A little unusual that just weed would do this, but weed can be very psychedelic for some people. I don't think it's unheard of.
There are also a couple natural phenomena that cause visual disturbances around certain backgrounds like blue skies and walls. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_field_entoptic_phenomenon) and everybody has those.
My theory is that the drug related stuff is similar to the aura from a migraine, and avoiding certain triggers (including stressing about it) will stop the attacks.

Ill try to stop worrying about it, think I've had it for 3 montha now, longer it takes for it to leave makes me more anxious.
>>17373847
I read this too. Any ideas on how to retrain though?

I know what floaters look like, and sometimes I see them alongside the snow. They're like big worms, and visual snow I have is like tiny grains all over.
>>17373829
Yeah, friend introduced me to weed, at the time I had no idea this could even happen.
>>17373828
Yep. It's definitely this.

Hmmmm you definitely could have a nutritional imbalance. I recommend a healthy diet, take a multivitamin once a day, and sleep regularly. Fit in some exercise if you can. I would blow this off as a temporary issue unless it begins to worsen.

Thanks a lot, I do eat quite healthy, alongside with some soda here and there from time to time, I'll have to see what I can do about workouts though, would a pull up bar cut it? Can't really lift weights since my knee injury, but I guess exercise is exercise?
(almost) Everyone else is wrong ITT, it's called visual snow and there's no cure, i've had it for more than 10 years, i've seen many neurologists but there's no cure. Just distract yourself and don't take any kind of drug unless it's absolutely necessary, I even avoid caffeine and alcohol.

I almost never got visual from weed but I recall one summer we hotboxed in a glass busstation and it was extremely hot in there.
Afterwards I started seeing some kind of azure blue in the sky forawhile and I later threw up.
It was really odd. Didnt feel good for awhile either, maybe it was the heat or what I ate, but it mightve been laced weed as I recall it wasnt a familiar dealer.
Maybe your shit got laced too.
As with almost all phycedelics just dont focus on your visuals if they persist, they will eventually go away
