smoking weed makes me feel like i'm tripping on acid

ok, so i'm 27 y/o...
here's my drug history: marijuana: daily for 10 years, quit a year and a half ago, starting smoking again 4 days ago mushroom: 60+ times LSD: 200+ times DMT: 30+ times MDMA: 6+ times MDA: once 4-ACO-DMT: once
i am most familiar with the effects of LSD. after a year and a half hiatus from smoking weed, i started smoking for days ago. just ONE SMALL HIT each night. THAT'S IT. i cannot emphasize enough the high i experience is almost indistinguishable from an LSD experience. i will say it's not as visual as an LSD experience is, however it brings about almost every other quality.
i see eyeballs in trees (like i do on LSD), i have some sort of energetic/telepathic connections with my dog which i usually do on acid, music is overwhelmingly mind-blowing, i have a deep sense of understanding the big picture and where everything fits in that picture (who people are individually, what they are about, what their role is in life, what my role is), and i have an unspoken energetic connection with people too, almost telepathic, oh and last but not least, it is just extremely overwhelming...INTENSE to the point where i need a benzo like i would on acid
can anybody relate to this? it's honestly really tough for me to handle...like really intense. i mean, imagine feeling like you're coming up on acid every time you take one little hit of weed. i don't know if i can handle this every day use anymore.
this also makes me question whether or not i can handle an LSD experience anymore...if i can't handle a little weed high without panic, how can i handle an acid trip?...
my last acid trip was march of 2013. one before that was october of 2011.
for those of you who might think of this, i am not schizophrenic...i am bipolar II and suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks on occasion
any input or advice or similar experience would be greatly appreciated

Maybe its just the lack of tolerance

that would definitely have something to do with it, and the weed i'm smoking is top notch...
perhaps a strong sativa...
but i'm still baffled by it...i never remember getting this high off such a small amount...

I think it's just your tolerance as well. Notice in a couple weeks weed will be more mellow. I wouldn't worry about acid being too intense. I think it will be a familiar feeling. Brain chemistry is fascinating.

I feel that way all the time. Especially if I get a good sativa or pour a bunch of keif on my bowls. Try and get some indica strains if you can or just don't take so many hits.

ya i will try to get indica, although i don't have my card so it's not always an option...
and i packed a one-hitter, one of those cig-batties, and took JUST ONE HIT...
3 hrs later and i'm finally coming down...maybe i just forgot what the high is like...

Weed is not for some people, like anything. I know someone who can take one small hit of bud and freak out the rest of the night. They'll be tense, anxious, and just generally uneasy and not fun to be around. And that can last for a day or two for that person. Different strains also will have different effects, but nothing like what you're describing. Some strains can make you less anxious, some more so. I've had points in my life where I've had panic attacks from cannabis. Are you stressing in your life right now?

weed was definitely one of the substances that i thought was "meant for me". i was a high functioning chronic user and was wrapping up my 1st year of grad school when i decided to quit. i was seriously addicted to it for 10 years and ended up in a 30 day inpatient program to psychologically (and physically) wean off it.
as far as stress goes, yes i'm stressed to say the least. actually, severely depressed is more accurate. i am in daily physical therapy for a spine condition which is very painful, debilitating, and i get hopeless quite often. when i realized i was having consistent suicidal thoughts, i decided i wanted to take up a "false sense of happiness" as long as i were getting one dose of happiness in each day of my life, so that i could be more motivated to do my exercises and get better.
given that i had committed to staying sober from marijuana, this was a very difficult decision for me to make, since drinking literally makes me sick, and i don't use pills, or other hard drugs, except for an occasional psychedelic experience.
i think that a part of my psyche or subconscious put a stigma on pot since i vowed never to touch it again. once i smoked it, my subconscious may have freaked out and caused a panic attack with feelings of guilt and confusion. so i can see where the panic and fear could stem from, but the psychedelic mind-expanding effects still blow me away. like i said, ALMOST identical to dropping 2 hits of liquid

Definitely not the first time I've heard of this. I got pretty bad HPPD after an intense acid trip which would generally come out when I got high.
For a couple days after the trip I didn't even wanna smoke cause it gave me a weird anxious headspace (never been an anxious person in general). I'd say 2000+ hours tripping balls plus a huge tolerence break is recipe for this kinda thing.
Obvious options are: -Lay off weed/psychs/both -Learn to enjoy the fucked up high -Build up and learn to smoke past it by getting your tolerence back (could be uncomfortable for a while)
Let us know how you get on friend.

I would get some weaker bud, more indica heavy strains, and a vaporizor. Use this opportunity to slowly ease back in without developing that everyday high THC adn high tolerance habit.

Ahhh those feels I kno too well. When I smoke a new strain or haven't toked in a while I just get that un easy feeling in my tummy like I'm coming up on shrooms or CID so annoying because I never get the head space or visuals.

There are two factors here. One is marijuana catalyzed flashbacks from previous psychedelic drugs. Many trippers experience pot-induced flashbacks when they smoke. The other is lack of tolerance. Weed is a psychedelic in its own right and with a low enough tolerance can create some extremely trippy experiences. I trip nearly every time I smoke, I hate it. But I love acid. Don't worry about panicking on LSD, weed is known to cause anxiety

I've experienced this myself. I know you posted this a while ago, so I'd like to ask how you are doing?
