Before you read this please keep in mind that this is a serious question and im really looking for some good advice. Alright well to start off, i started smoking 3 years ago, i remember back then i never really got that high, i just got really relaxed (possibly wasnt inhaling correctly) But last summer at my uncles house i smoked WAYYYYY to much and got way to fucked up, i actually thought i was gonna be the 1st person to die from marijuana lol like i was twitching bad, eyes felt like they were rolling in my forehead, and my heart was goes 94872398 mph, oh and i couldnt concentrate worth shit, its like i had short term memory or something. Now every since then its like my tolerance just keeps going lower and lower, i start twitching off of 2 hits from the bong now... its pretty pathetic, like its not even a good high anymore, my paranoia got alot worse too, like i see people out of objects in nature, like i actually hallucinate that shit. And well now i think its starting to fuck with my brain, i honestly cant remember ANYTHING from this saturday, iand its kinda scaring me, its like the memory isnt there, and i keep thinking that everyones trying to play me or do me wrong(this is while im sober dont forget), and this is kinda scary, i keep planning "get rich quick" schemes like robberies and shit, its really scary cause i actually think that shit through. I canteven remember half of the other crazy things its doing to my mind.. So my question is, should i consider quitting? or is this just a phase that all smokers go through?? thanks
Do you have a genetic pre-disposition to schizophrenia? In such situations, it is not advisable to consume cannabis as it may promote pregression of the issue. Otherwise, I say take a nice long break or quit for a while and try it again in smaller quantities when you start again. I've experienced what you describe, but only after really getting baked and even then it isn't permanent. A break/quit for a while should take care of things for you. There was a study that showed that memory does go back to "normal" after 30 days without weed. I'm looking for a link to that study now.... post it if anyone finds it before me.
When people first smoke, the tend not to get high. When they smoke again, and it can blow their mind. 2 bong hits is quite a bit man, I just have a little pinch in a pipe, and I'm set. Don't worry about the ego thing of seeing how much you can smoke, smoke what you want. Different strains of weed will have different affects. Weed doesn't just get you up/ down like caffeine/alcohol/tranquilisers. It's quite complex. If you had a scary experience, you could choose not to smoke again. Or you could choose to get back on the horse, but smoke a little less. And just use your bank robbing creativity for something else. Do you draw? why not start. EDIT: I can't quite tell which bits you're saying are while sober/high. But I've had proper scary anxiety before, and I over thought things and though I could see stuff jumping out at me etc. The general rule is, if you think you're crazy, you're not. It's frustrating to hear, but if you sort yourself out you can get right back to normal. I personally went to the doctor, and got councelling through my university. EDIT: being that paranoid all the time is not a phase smokers go through. EDIT: the anxiety thing I mentioned was before I started smoking.
Thank you for your reply, i dont know if schizophrenia runs in my family, but i just looked it up and thats EXACTLY how weed makes me feel, like i go in and out of reality, i think i came close to dying before because i was driving to a chinese buffet with my exafter we got down smoking and all of a sudden i forgot where i was going and where i was, that was a scary experience. Well i think i'm going to do more research on schizophrenia and consider quiting for a little bit.
I'm pretty sure people with schizophrenia don't know they're hallucinating. Seriously, don't try to self diagnose. Try to fix the problem at hand, and see how you feel in a bit.
your right about the ego thing, i mean your just saving money if you have a lower tolerance lol. well friday night we were smoking purp out of a hookah and passing around 2 joints of reg (thats all i buy im poor lol) thats the night that i described in the post above^^^ i use to draw a long time ago but i lost interst after i was put on accutane 3 years ago, i changed ALOT and lost interest in alot of things while i was on that shit... well thanks for your reply, if i do continue to smoke ill try to find something to keep me busy
