I worry sometimes that our perception of time changes as we near death, such that the actual dying moments could feel like year and years… sort of like the Picard flute story line from TNG
I once had a really bad trip where I thought this was what was happening, or it lasting for eternity. It was the worst thing ever and I ended up with really bad psychosis for a year after, repeatedly getting panic attacks.
Which substance?
Cannabis, funny enough
Are you positive it was real cannabis? I have a friend who got a similar reaction while smoking "weed" for the first time in Japan. Turns out it was one of those legal weed lookalikes.
One of my pot smoking friends had some of the same stuff and she said it felt just like ordinary weed to her, but I guess I'll never be 100% sure. Being an idiot teenager, I smoked a lot of it at once, never having smoked before.
This is my professional account, but in my professional experience, cannabis miscalculations can lead to time travel lmao
I have a friend who also experienced something like that on "k2." It was (reportedly) really intense and scary.
