The 'Outer-Space' Effect

[Nathanial.Dread]

If I intake a sufficiently large quantity of cannabis, I always get the same weird feeling, as though whatever room I happen to be in is suddenly the only thing that exists. It's as if my implicit awareness of the outside world is gone. Everything I can see is exists, but there's a tacit expectation that, if I were the open the door, there would just be black void.

Even if I smoke during the day, unless I'm actually outside, or looking out a window, the same effect emerges. It's like my object permanence has gone away: if I can see it, it no longer exists.

Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Hmm, interesting. I actually get the opposite effect for whatever reason. I find myself constantly thinking about everything except for what is immediately near and around me(unless I am distracted by netflix, music, or my girlfriend etc...then that is all I can focus on typically). I think part of that is stemmed from the slight paranoia I feel from cannabis.

I have never felt like the outside world was gone from cannabis alone, even on edibles. Like I said above, I get infatuated with every dog barking, car passing by, neighbors being noisy, passerby(s) on the sidewalk, train whistles(I live about 5 blocks from train tracks) and whatever else may be out there. Interesting topic for sure!

Sitting cross-legged in the ocean during a knee deep low tide at night while UTI of cannabis is as close to object impermanence as I've ever got.
I see what you mean though ND and have felt it a few handfuls of times, but I hardly ever go deep enough now feel to that feeling in closed spaces. It's uncomfortably confronting.
