When I smoke weed, I overanalyse things to an insane degree. Take a simple social interaction and 50 thoughts breaking down and analysing the situation will occur in a few minutes. Some of them negative thoughts, also weed tends to amplify negative thoughts depending on my mood.
This is why I don't really like smoking weed and probably do it once every two years.
Relate or am I a schizo?

Idk if cannabis actually increases DMN connectivity per-se but it def. can cause rumination likely because it increases DMN use as it can cause the user to "turn inward" more frequently, activating the DMN and causing rumination in individuals where rumination would be present - and/or combined with anxiety-induction in certain people
