Hi,

Cannabis can cause altered perception and since you smoked a lot of it, you are getting these symptoms. Altered touch sensation and your altered perception of your own self are because of this only. In some people, it can even cause delusions and psychosis. This will gradually improve over the next week as the cannabis gets excreted. But in future, please avoid such heavy exposure to cannabis as things can be worse than what they are now.

Best wishes.
