Content: Mild Visual and Auditory Hallucinations
Tying into the paranoia that can often result from smoking with little experience and/or to excess, some people who have smoked weed have experienced the funky side effects of getting stoned by hallucinating. While these hallucinations are rarely major, they can be jarring to some people. Usually, the hallucinations manifest in moments of fear or stress, especially when smoking outdoors at night. These hallucinations can be completely imagined, but are also often the result of the mind misinterpreting a perfectly natural sight or sound. When smoking in the woods at night, one member of a group may believe they see a shape moving across the light between the trees. Whether a trick of the light or a wild animal passing through, the sight or sound will usually amount to nothing, as hard as this may be to sell to a bunch of stoned people in the dark. The Munchies
The munchies are one side effect of marijuana that has, more or less, penetrated public consciousness across the board. It is well known, and often stereotyped, that cannabis often causes one to develop a ravenous appetite. While this isn't the most dangerous or incapacitating of side effects, it can often catch up with you if you don't exercise a degree of self control. Especially when taking place mostly at night, the munchies can cause you to eat large amounts of food with questionable nutrition and slowly gain weight.
