Hearing/seeing things that aren't probably there?

[Anonymous]

I do not regularly smoke marijuana, the last time I smoked was a few nights ago however every now and then I'll hear something and have to question if I really heard it. Or I will look at someone, and they look fine and then they almost look scary (their eyes look really scary) what should I do? Is this normal?
I've never ever experienced this before.

hallucinations are very uncommon for infrequent smoking unless done in high HIGH doses or smoking a particularly strong strain. the hallucinations aren't typically associated with seeing things that aren't there but simply having reality seeming to be altered (time feels slower, sounds more distinct, colors more vivid) the fact that you are having these hallucinations days later, as most if any hallucinations occur during the high (when I used to smoke regularly once a friend said he saw tigers in my backyard), makes me wonder if you smoked only marijuana. like was there PCP/angel dust mixed in with it.

you could have hallucinations during smoking and in very rare cases after. it is after all a psychoactive drug

But when I was actually smoking the drug, I wasn't seeing/hearing things.

hmmm. very interesting. are you still experiencing visuals/hallucinations. I've just never heard of someone having this issue after the fact

Cannabis messes with your brain, that's a fact.

But if you become a regular user you won't worry about all that, of course

Taking marijuana *so called hallucinogenic plants* opens up the psychic centres such as the "third eye" to see things in the lower Astral Realm which maybe very unpleasant If you are not emotionally strong to deal with seeing this sort of things, you are best NOT to take it again.

The active psychoreactive agents can stay in the body for some time and take time to process. It is normal. If it persists beyond a week see a physician.

Hallucinations are far more common than most people think. They aren't necessarily a sign of mental illness.

If it lingers, I definitely should seek a doctor yes?

You can, but I wouldn't worry about it.
