Sounds like you had a fun time ;) The first thing that came to my mind was that famous parable of butterfly dream:

"Once upon a time, I, Zhuangzi, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Zhuangzi. Soon I awakened, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man. Between a man and a butterfly there is necessarily a distinction. The transition is called the transformation of material things."

While such transformation is more common with other substances (e.g. I was once lady fern while doing LSD), cannabis is known precisely for “depersonalisation” (and AFAICT, that's one of the traits that makes cannabis a match made in heaven in terms of self-knowledge). So, it's not unusual to lose the sense of being human. After all, humanness is not our true nature and what we are has no intrinsic nature at all.

As for “Simply an unexplainable experience. Not sure what to make of it” – I'm fairly certain that what you should make of the experience, you already do. The rest, if there is more, comes in its own right time. Sometimes it can take years, even decades to fully unravel. No need to fret about it.
