So, I am no Noob... But I'm in need of serious help

    Let me start by saying, I am posting this on a friends account.. a room mate actually.

    However the story..

    I am a 20 year old male, I started smoking when I was 14.

    Growing up, I always knew my mind was a bit different then a lot of people. I also knew that none of the adderal, xanex, or what have you ever helped that. I went through that for years until I smoked for my first time.

    For the first time in my life, I realized some relief. Relief from constant worry (over thinking), and I loved it. I fell in love with it.

    I continued smoking, and even eventually ended up with a group of four other guys I played music with, we had a band and all we did was get stoned as fuck and jam. The happiest times of my life.

    Somewhere between the age of 18 and now, I got booted out for "doing too many drugs"... as a result I stopped everything... and long story short though, I can't smoke any more.. I try and have tried so many times to smoke but It makes me feel like shit.

    I love being high (i miss it so much), but I can't.. all I feel anymore is paranoia. And all I get from the guys who used to be my smokin buddies, who I have now recovered some type of friendship with, is "smoking isn't for everyone".. It's like saying.. "hey I know you fucked the shit out of the cute stephanie girl for 6 years.. but she never had any feeling for you, get over it".. like what the fuck do you say to that?

    Now, I try to get away from those feelings that pot had helped me with for so long.. with alcohol.. and it's stupid. I don't really like being drunk.. I like the escape from my mind..

    But I guess.. What i'm looking for is someone (or some people) that have been here before, and are able to help..

    Also.. I'm a med student. I don't know a whole lot of pots effects on the brain but I know it increases dopamine levels in the brain.. could it be that I have a dopamine deficiency?..

    sincerely I hate my fucking life...

    What do you get paranoid about?

    It really just sounds like you are in dire need of a permanent 'crutch'. Perhaps you should look into getting a girlfriend, or a puppy, or a new hobby. Anything to get your mind out of the gutter. You could honestly collect pogs if it makes you happy, i dont give a fawk

    It's always things like my breathing.. I feel like I"m swallowing wrong, or my blood pressure is getting too high.. I never am afraid of being caught or anything like that.. which is something I've heard from quite a few people I've talked to

    since then, zep.. I've gotten a full time job.. which I"ve kept for about 3 times as long as I have ever had "part time" job.. I've gotten a cat that I love the fuck out of, I've moved out of my house, and started college (which I've gotten all As and Bs in my classes)...

    I was barely an alternative graduate.. I barely ever had a job, I barely had the ability to care for myself..

    Pot was something that kept me "normal".. and now I'm slipping.. the alcohol doesn't have the same stress relief..

    I just don't understand it.. and I'm really at my end.. I know pot wasn't the only thing that kept me going.. but god damn did it really help a fuck lot. :\

    I think I can help u out a bit since most of my family smoke, or have some other fix. The key is to moderate. Everyone has their "fix" an without that, they are stressed. For me it's smoking and growing, for my girlfriend it's dancing, etc.

    It sounds like your friends don't smoke as much as u, that's how I was, but u just have to show everyone around you that you can blaze, but still get your stuff done,
    And then they can't really tell u nothing

    I sometimes get the paranoia you do. I sometimes think I'm not breathing properly and I'm swallowing air in the wrong way, or my breathing is really heavy, stupid stuff like that. But what you just gotta do -this is gonna sound a bit harsh- is chill the fuck out. I don't mean that in a mean way. You're high as fuck, chill out, listen to some music, write a story or song, do things that interest you, watch some buzzy videos. Do something that'll take your mind off of something that your body does automatically :p

    PS. I've never heard anyone dying of smoking pot from health complications

    i dont think it can cause a dopamine deficiency. i've never heard of that happening with weed before. i know what you mean about finally getting relief though, it's the greatest thing ever. did you get anxious or paranoid or anything when you first started smoking? i ask because i used to always get worried before smoking and afterwards i couldn't smoke again for days or even weeks because i just didn't feel right. but eventually i started smoking more and it wasn't a problem anymore, and i was smoking every day perfectly fine. but when i stopped for 3 months, when i went to smoke again the same thing happened. i got nervous as hell and it was hard to even start. but once i had been smoking for a few days everything went back to normal.

    are you sure what's happening isn't just because you aren't used to weed anymore? maybe you're smoking too much for not having a tolerance, and you could try easing yourself back in to getting used to it.

    Sweetie, get on Omega 3! Read these!

    Nutritional omega-3 deficiency abolishes endocannabinoid-mediated neuronal functions. (abst – 2011) Unbound MEDLINE | Nutritional omega-3 deficiency abolishes endocannabinoid-mediated neuronal functions. PubMed Journal article abstract

    "In n-3-deficient mice, presynaptic cannabinoid CB(1) receptors (CB(1)Rs) normally responding to endocannabinoids were uncoupled from their effector G(i/o) proteins. Finally, the dietary-induced reduction of CB(1)R functions in mood-controlling structures was associated with impaired emotional behavior. These findings identify a plausible synaptic substrate for the behavioral alterations caused by the n-3 PUFAs deficiency that is often observed in western diets."

    Your problem is mental, not a physical deficiency. You feel like shit when you smoke because of the fact that you are the one putting forth those feelings. If you tell yourself that even pot wont help at this point, then why the hell would your mind /let/ pot help?

    I went through depression and shit a few weeks ago, and in all honesty, you need to let go. Stop lingering on the past and all this shit that /has/ happened to you. Why don't you start thinking about the things you want to happen. THink about how to make your life better. Then go from there.

    But if you start out at, "Man... I might as well just drink. Pot wont fucking help."

    Then where does that lead you to?

    The spot your at now. That's where.

    Maaaan you just need to relax and the the herb do it's thang. I mean..there really isn't much of anything to worry about paranoia-wise. Smoke and think of all the best possible scenarios that can happen with your life. Leave the past behind. The future can hold many great things and weed can help shine a positive light on it. I'm posting this because I over-think wayyyy too much and the herb just helps me concentrate on the good things that can come out of life.
