One time I took way too much weed butter and watched Interstellar, and I swear I could tell exactly where the green screen and photoshopping points were.

Cannabis is indeed a psychedelic substance. Many users don't experience it as such, but in the proper dose, and especially ones first usage of it, can be intensely psychedelic. The challenge with the cannabis experience is, it is often deeply clouded in fear and paranoia.

I bet someone could read the messages in these videos quite easily under the influence of cannabis, but I doubt most would be comfortable at that level of intoxication to enjoy the experience while it occurred.

ime/imo the main reason why it's so uncommon is because you have to go _comically_ far over your tolerance to hit the truly-psychedelic effects, and, as you said, it can be deeply uncomfortable. I've only ever managed to hit truly-psychedelic effects by ex. eating 600mg of RSO with a low tolerance, or doing a dab after a t break and way overestimating my tolerance.

I tried taking something like 50mg THC once and it just made me feel like my head was imploding for around five hours. No visuals or altered thoughts or anything. Made me conclude that my brain probably just isn't receptive to weed or something.

A shot in the dark, here, but it does have an effect on blood pressure, so it's probably a bit of that, and the increase in general sensitivity you experienced. Pretty normal. Some strains are even known for their "headband" effects (at maybe more pleasant intensities)

It could be blood pressure, yeah. I've only really also tried LSD recreationally, but it creates a similar head feeling (though much less dysphoric). It's probably caused by blood flow to the brain, specifically, due to the drugs being psychoactive.
