Cannabis Use
Hello all, I’ve had tinnitus and hypercaucis for about 3 years now as well as VSS. I used to be a cannabis smoker before that and during onset I stopped because it made the ringing in my head louder. Took a 9 month break and then dabbled again with no effect thankfully. So I’ve been consuming for about 2 years with these conditions with no issues. Randomly on May 7th I noticed I am seeing tracers, now when I first got this condition I noticed tracers before but was so consumed by the ringing I didn’t pay attention.
For some reason my brain is paying attention to the tracers now. I suspect it’s because my tinnitus is so low I almost can’t hear it; or it’s so far in the background now. This has been the case in the past (December 2025) but I wasn’t focusing on tracers I was just enjoying my life.
I don’t know if these tracers are new or if I’m just focusing on them out of the blue… I love cannabis, it calms me and helps me with stress. I don’t know why this is happening now but I dunno.
I test it with my partner and she says she can see the tracers too, I can only see them in certain light with a dark background.. ugh.. I just want to enjoy my life man…
Does this sound like thc induced tracers? I don’t even know if I have HPPD but everyone in the VSS Reddit suggest to come here.
Does HPPD come and go? Or is it something like once you have it that’s what you’re going to see for the rest of your life? Like with the static I see and the ringing in my ears - I know that’s for life and constant. I need advice.
