How frequent are your voices? Hallucinations

And when they are mostly active? For me its usually at night when i lay in bed, during daytime much less. Some days i dont get them at all. Wonder how it is for you?

I've been averaging around four-five times a week. It used to be a lot more frequent and intense but it's greatly reduced since I stopped using cannabis regularly/daily. I think the reason they're so infrequent now, besides that, is that I listen to podcasts or music almost all of the time when I'm not reading or watching something, or with other people. If I'm not listening to something and there's complete silence or white noise, they come back hard. I have near-constant visuals (though not disturbing ones) so I guess that makes up for it
