Drug induced psychosis

['andersom']

Official Dutch sites on cannabis also state that the chance of a psychosis is there. And, that with very potent weed, the chance is bigger.

Overall Dutch sites are not fear mongering, when it comes to drugs. So, I think they really did find a link between psychosis and cannabis, for some people.

I smoked marijuana when I was 17 and it made me really paranoid. I thought "they" were coming to get me, whoever "they" were. I checked the locks of all windows and door over and over all night. The effect wore off by morning, thankfully, but I had no sleep.

This told me that I would have fared worse had I kept smoking. Why continue to do something that makes you mentally ill?

I've had paranoia after smoking pot when i was younger too. The paranoia wore off as I got older.

Yeah, I'm over smoking the shit. Does f-all after you abuse it (is there any other way), then there is my financial state, and the physical state I'm in isn't pleasant either... I'm sure the one I've been smoking is addictive.
Anyways, I think there's some money to be made in it so I'm looking into making a dollar out of it.

Hence, I've quit


Henceforward, I've also quit ciggarettes so not all bad has come of smoking the shit.

That's what I hear from more weed users. In my country almost every joint is rolled with tobacco, but daily blowers often use less and less tobacco, even if they started as true smokers.

but what about that synthetic stuff you get from adult shops?

Are you trying to get back into the hospital? 

That or he is too stubborn to listen to instructions.

No, hospital is the last thing I want but I don't handle boredom well, I'm afraid.
I worked out the instructions for smoking legal weed, didn't I?

Welcome back.

Thanks.

I was dx'ed as Psychosis when I was younger.....

I haven't had any episodes with it for awhile. Yet then again I was an 8 year old with an over-active imagination.

ECT= Electric Current Therapy?

Electro-convulsive therapy. How old were you when you were dx'd with psychosis?

I was around 8 or 9 years old.

This was fall of 1998

That must have been quite difficult for you at that age, Genesis.

Hey, that's great, man. Good for you.

It was difficult for years.... I didn't realize about my autism till Seventh Grade. You know how painful that can get right???

I actually enjoy the drug trip of feeling such a strong sense of how meaningless is life is. Thinking about how immense our universe is gave me comfort and so I love the concept of multiverses. I overcome it it with a feeling of triumph. I am a warrior.

Thanks Gopher. It's nice to get a little encouragement. I just hope that I can stick with it this time. For some reason I take up smoking again down the track - as though it's going to benefit me in some way.

I sure do! I wasn't dx'd with Aspergers until I was in my mid-to-late 20s. I found it an immense relief as well as a sort of hurt. Finding out that I have aspergers was both a relief and a cause for me to become a bit worse, I think; mainly because I was aware of the things i was doing/am doing... such as stimming, for example.

I am a warrior.

Only in this universe

[Genesis]

Its more of a relief now....  I don't have to worry about the stupid things I get confused about.
