[Depersonalized]

I talked about DP with 5-6 people who smoke marijuana at least once a week.

They all described the exact same symptoms of DP while being stoned( feeling dissconnected from your body, nothing is real, everything is a dream, and not able to feel any emotions). My question is how can they enjoy this? :roll:

Now there is more.

There is also a so called substance DMT, which after you take will give you DP at its worst times a million. This trip lasts for about 10 minutes. Most of the people with Schizophrenia have symptoms of DP the whole time, however it doesn't mean that if you have DP you are a Schizo.

Each one of us has some DMT level in our blood, it is released by the pineal gland. Patients with Schizophrenia all have highy increased level of DMT in their blood samples. There is a scientist Rick Strassman who spent 10 years investigating this phenomena. He also wrote a book called DMT - The spirit molecule.

If you read some of the articles on the internet about DMT expiriences all of them have DP characteristics at its worst plus more.

Well, I'd say being stoned is a bit different to being DPed.

Sure, there are those dissociative symptoms, but when you are mentally healthy it's fun to escape like that, because you know it's going to end. And then there's the added body buzz, the laughter, the silly thoughts...

Yup, but I wouldn't dare smoke these days... oh god, I couldn't imagine how awful that would be...

Damn you DP!

I think DP/DR can be a lot like LSD... (a bad trip that doesn't end)

My question is how can they enjoy this?

My guess is that it is because it is an induced and expected side effect of the drug.

Yeh but provided that they don't develop dp or dr symptons , the dp like symptons can be quite liberating, only some of them though like the loss of self or I spose a more accurate description for being stoned is having a feeling of oneness with everything. But when someone is stoned the experience is a one off, its a fun little escape from reality and way to relax.

So I can understand how people would enjoy short term dp symtons when stoned (Not that I would enjoy weed anymore, makes me too paranoid :? )

thats not the feelings of dp, when your stoned everything is stoned, when your dp'd everything is negative, The only thing i can associate between them is the DR vision.
Ok having DR vision everything looks bright and colorful= stoned
DR vision 24/7 losing reality, everything seems dark and depressing, life is hell, Numbness inside=DP
