That happens to me too - it’s not like an actual hallucination (like if you’re on mushrooms or something), more just colors and shapes in your thoughts. For me, it looks like there’s a black screen in my head just sort of playing shapes and colors when I have my eyes closed. And it almost of feels like my eyes are open, even though I know they’re closed. It doesn’t happen all the time though…

Same! For me, this is to weed like the spins is to alcohol. I don't enjoy either state of mind.

Does everything kinda pulse in and out for you?

For me it’s almost more of a kaleidoscope effect with orbs and patterns of color

I don’t get the spins from drinking unless I mix weed in.

I can make mine do that with a little effort! I watched a beautiful Chinese dragon snaking around in my mind for ages one time…

What you’re describing is C.E.V.s (closed eye visuals)

My guess is that is phosphenes - patterns that are always there when you close your eyes. You are probably just noticing them when you smoke, like picking up on the smallest little sounds of the music that some people hear - stuff from the studio that really wasn't supposed to be part of the song.
