Hi,

The symptoms that you have described are common in cannabis intoxication. There is an altered ability to perceive self and surroundings. The racing heart beat is also due to cannabis. It can also cause anxiety and psychosis. In my opinion, you should cut down the amount and frequency of your cannabis use to ensure that these problems do not aggravate into more serious issues.

Best wishes.
