Cannabis :: Feeling Low And Not Myself After Using Weed
I been an occasional weed smoker for about two years now. 3 weeks ago I started feeling anxiety while I was sober. I had a few bad trips before , I'd say about 3-4 and I just thought everyone experiences them since it is a DRUG. The one time I took some really potent stuff and I smoked the next morning while I still felt high. It was a really good high then it went downhill, that same week I started vomiting and feeling a high feeling when i was sober. At first i thought it would leave by the day but it lasted a good 8 days before I started feeling better. About 4 days later I took a little hit and it was in a closed area so it was a form of hotboxing so I might've took more than I planned, also I got faded with some drinks that night with some friends. I started having the same anxiety/panicky feeling the next day and I'm still feeling them wondering whats wrong with me. Its feel like forever and the days seem longer since I can only get maybe 1 hour of sleep. It seems worst this time around and I feel the same detachment just with more worry because it happening again so close to the last time. My scheduled appointment with my doctor in in about a week and that seems so far because i don't know how I can keep up this endurance. I noticed a few things help me like music, talking , and even forums like this. Hopefully I start feeling better.
View 5 RepliesCannabis :: Weed Changed Who I Was
I'm currently sitting in my room and trying to figure out what to do with my smoking habit. I have been smoking almost every day for the last 2 years and it seems like a lot has changed. Before smoking Weed I was a great person. Kind,sincere,sociable, funny, i had tons of friends. No it seems like everything is the complete opposite. I've had a few other things happen in my life but at this point I am no longer concerned with those issues. 2 years ago my parents moved to TN and then decided to divorce and I was left all the way up north alone. Those things I have learned to deal with. I think my weed smoking has gotten worse overtime. I don't have many friends, people think I am weird, I get mad at situations I never did before. I have completely changed and I would give anything to be back where I was. I just lost my my girlfriend of 2 1/2 years and I think it has all been a result of my horrible habit. I never want to do anything, I never want to talk and it never was like that. It seems like it has thrown my emotions out of wack and I've become a horrible person. I just want a little encouragement and someone to tell me everything will be alright. Weed has changed me for the worst and I just want my life back and my gf.
View 3 RepliesCannabis Addiction :: Anxiety After Weed?
I shared a joint (weed + tabac) with a few friends about 2/3 weeks ago (my first time), and I'm scared because my body just doesn't feel right ever since.
Because I do have Obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety problems, the immediate hours following the smoke I just couldn't relax and paranoia began to hit me. I had a bit of a panic attack, during which I was disturbed to notice these tiny flashes or floaters in my vision and a slight loss of concentration in 1 eye.
Anyway,anxiety hit me BIG TIME the following week when I noticed this things were still in my field of vision ! I was absolutely terrified, an emotional wreck because I believed (still sort of do) that I had made a huge mistake and screwed up my vision and life for good. I started having periodic shooting eye pains as well which added to the anxiety. However, I went to the opticians and was given the all clear. After this I told myself to relax and began to feel a bit better.....the pain in my eyes eased up.
BUT.....in the 2nd week more symptoms started to follow. I became light headed and weak, periodic ear pain, changes in heart rate and had cold shakes many times during the day. I also began to experience chest pains and pressure on my head developed. It's been a horrible chain reaction, as the symptoms intensified so did the anxiety and that led to me having horrible nightmares and difficulties getting a good night's sleep
.
I can't believe I'm saying this but my body shape is also slightly out of line. The head and neck are titled slightly away from body. And that's not something im imaging, because my friends have said that when they look closely they can spot it too. When I do force my body to align itself properly, I feel discomfort in my chest. The pressure on the head is still there, especially coming from the back. Sometimes when I bend down or I move my jaw when eating.....I don't know it's really difficult to explain but I experience pressure changes on my head and things just feel wrong.
I suppose my question is........is this sequence of symptoms all to do with my stress/anxiety and my mind?.....Or has the marijuana created all or parts of this and messed up my body?
On a broader note.......should people like myself with OCD/anxiety brain chemistry smoke marijuana. Are the risks greater for us?
Cannabis :: Horrible Day After Smoking Weed
I'm 21 years old and yesterday (sept. 28) was my first time I smoked weed and I took 4 puffs of it with two other friends. I had this horrible trip and really do not want to ever smoke weed ever again. It was scary and I felt like I was really going to die. I went to sleep and had my full 8 hours of sleep and woke today (sept. 29) feeling better, but I still feel strange. I can hardly concentrate. I'm experiencing paranoia and anxiety and according to some posts, I guess it's from the THC level intake. I probably have low tolerance since It's my first time smoking it. I'm really scared that whatever it is I'm feeling or going through is permanent. Should I call the hospital? Will I be charged with marijuana use?

Okay so i smoked weed for the first time at a party but i only took two hits and i did not feel high and then one month later i smoked weed again only took two hits and i did not feel high again but that night i got drunk for the first time as well. (With four beers to be specific) i went to bed that night and everything was okay until about 4am i woke up because i felt sick so i went to the bathroom to see it i needed to throw up but nothing came out so i just went back to bed and felt fine for the rest of the night. The next morning i woke up and i felt very weird i can't quite pinpoint the feeling but it was weird and i would get mini anxiety attacks for the rest of the day. Along with that i would also kind of feel out of breath when i was sitting down or just walking but i ignored it. That night i felt very sick and i felt a feeling around my chest area long with anxiety i also kept feeling like i was gonna throw up and by body would suddenly get very hot. Then i got a big anxiety attack that lasted about five minutes. I just thought i was hungover but when i asked my friends they reassured me i only had four beers and 20 hours later i should not be feeling hungover. For the next three days everything was normal except for feeling out of breath a lot when i was doing simple activities. Then a few days later i was laying down on the couch watching a scary movie with my family and suddenly when the movie got very intense i got a huge anxiety attack which caused my heart to race and me to feel like i was on the verge of passing out. Afterwords i felt very tired so i fell asleep but then again in the middle of the night i had another anxiety attack. Ever since that day i have not felt normal again. I always have a sensation in my chest that causes anxiety and depression. It has been a year since that day and i can honestly say i have not gotten better. I can not watch scary movies because my anxiety gets the best of me i have lost a lot of my friends because the depression has caused me to be uninterested in everything around me. I used to be such a happy person and so full of life but now i cannot remember the last time i was happy. I always try to focus on the positive but this feeling of anxiety has taken over my life. What can i do and what could this possibly be?

I am 16 years old and I have never smoked Weed before. Well once and I didn't get high. Anyway, I have Pectus Excavatum and I am scared to try Weed. I know I should not be smoking it since my condition, but I just want to try it once because I want to see what it is like. I do not intend on smoking it often, if at all. Can somebody share your experiences with smoking Weed and having Pectus Excavatum or something similar? Thank you.
View 3 RepliesCannabis :: Depersonalization And Derealization Due To Weed
4.12.2012 I smoked ak-47 and it was just awesome. But I freaked out a little and it got me depersonalization and derealization. Depersonalization is almost insensible. And derealization - I think I've already been feeling like this, in childhood.
I also smoked weed in 21.12. and 31.12.. It was not as awesome as it used to be, while high, I was little scared that I might stay in dr forever.
Sucks. I have not visited psychiatrist yet, I'm going to do this month. I really don't think it's any bad (while reading other's stories, I must say my story is peaceful towards theirs'), I don't have panic attacks or anxiety (just ordinary problems such as school). It's just dr/dp.
Okay, I expect it will take up to 2 months before I will be completely healthy.
Will I ever be able to smoke weed again? (and not getting into those dr/dp things)
Cannabis / Weed / Marijuana / Pot Really Addictive?
I'v smoked pot on and off for about 40 yrs, I've never had a pot withdrawal that I can ever remember or known anyone who has. but I do have hard times sleeping, eating etc. normally..
other than the occasional paranoia from "smoking too much" it has helped my appetite, stress levels etc. My cognitive skills are still the same as they've always been when I don't smoke.
I have a bunch of problems the pot helps to mask. If you want a clear mind, Then Don't Smoke it! or quit! other than that I smell a lot of possible psychological or physical problems that have been suddenly realized by people quitting? how can you have a withdrawal from a non-addictive substance?

I'm 19 years old and as i was growing up i always had 1 major issue in life. i was always very angry person. i would get mad at every simple and dumb things that aren't even worth getting stressed and mad about.
over the past few years, i have been in fact smoking weed. it started of on smoking on only occasion and it escalated to a point where i smoke almost everyday of my life if anything a few times a day. and when i smoke, i smoke a lot. i heard from a therapist that smoking weed gets you more aggravated and gets you more nervous than you usually get. i am really not happy with the way i am cause im in a situation of losing the girl i love most and as much as i try and say i will become better i don't. my temper always overcomes me and i don't know how to manage it. what im asking is, does marijuana make someone who already has a bad temper and a bad anger problem even more nervous and more stressed out then they already are?

View 2 RepliesCannabis - Anxiety :: Paranoia And Irratabilty After Weed
it seems like I've always had a tiny bit of anxiety, but it was always at bay and not too bad. I've had a few panic attacks but not much else, then roughly 4 months ago I had some weed with a few friends which I've only had a few times before because I hate smoking due to asthma, then it seems like since that night it's made all my anxiety come out at once.
My heart has never felt the same since, I'm way more panicky, I think anything I have could mean I'm dying and so on.
My question is can one night of smoking weed bring all this out, or do you think it was always going to come out at some point?
Cannabis :: Zombie Feeling Days After Having Weed?
4 days ago my friends told me to try weed and so I did but only 2 small hits, after that I felt what every person trying weed for the first time felt. The next day we tried another one, but my friends made me do 3 hits, once again small hits and felt the same thing as the day before. The next day I woke up and still felt 'high' felt like a zombie walking doin tv. Stuff I didn't remember doing, 4 days have passed since the first time I tried it and I still feel 'high' And i feel almost in an unreal state of mind. like i'm not all there. I try to deal with it, but i really want to feel normal again. It wasn't laced because no one else felt weird but me. i have no idea what's going on. Whenever I walk around or do stuff, I feel like a zombie and don't remember doing the stuff sometimes. I guess what I'm trying to ask is how long will this effect last? And if I need to go get medical attention what do I say because I'm only 18 will the doctor call police or something?
