brain damage?

[bballa4life]

hey im new here and i had a weird experience that i cant get over. it was my first time smoking and i smoked some "california dro" with a couple of my buddies and i had a real bad panic attack. from what i understand it is pretty strong stuff. anyway i had maybe 4 hits of it? did i just smoke to much for my tolerance? it has caused me some anxiety and panic attacks since i smoked it. i smoked it a couple of months ago... and i still feel anxiety and panic sometimes. could this experience caused me brain damage?

well, if the stuff really was cali hydro, which i hear is pretty good and it being your first time and all, you could have gotten to a height of high that you felt uncomfortable at? and since youre baked, youd overreact, amking you feel fucked up. no i dont think it would cause brain damage, try toking again, im sure it wont be bad at all, or at least not nearly that bad

[ryanses]

yea dude, the first time i ever smoked, i had really bad paranoia, i smoked like 3 bowls and my friends convinced me the phone was ringing, but when i would answer it, there would be no one there.

Im like 99.9999999% sure you did no brain damage.
try it out again, and if you dont like it then all i can tell you is weed isnt for everyone.

[shaggzx]

You don't have brain damage. Marijuana doesn't do that. However, being that it was your first time and you did smoke reasonably strong stuff, paranoia is normal. Now, as far as you claiming that you still experiance bouts of anxiety and panic, I doubt it's from the marijuana. You could be predisposed to certain mental conditions that the marijuana precipitated, but thats probably not the case. It's more than likely all in your head.

Yeah it's probable you sustained a large amount of brain damage. You should see a doctor right away. It could cost you your ability to function.

The first few times people smoke, many of them freakout bc they have never experienced being high firsthand...so they freak out because they have no idea whats going on. And if you actually had some good weed it may have been to potent for you to try you're first time. I'd work my way up from some schwagg and mids first until you try some dank weed.

You definitly have brain damage. My friend smoked a hit of weed for the first time last week and he went crazy. He killed everyone in the room, ripped his dick off and threw it at the police who he then raped. Now 90% of his brain is gone because he took a hit of weed. He now lives ini a cage and drools all day into the place where his penis used to be. Weed is very dangerouse like that. Youe have brain damage sir and should get help immidiatley before it gets any worse.

LOL!

Yeah, my first time smoking weed I kinda tweaked out a little. I think that's normal, especially if you're not used to the effects. Now it seems like every time I toke up it's always better than the last time.

I've never heard of weed causeing brain damage and wouldn't be smokin it if it did.

dude.
there was a guy who cut his dick off and threw it at the cops who were in pursuit of him to distract them.

[onequestion]

Yeah, i heard of that. It was this big internet phenomenon like a year ago right. Mencia talked about it on his show a little too.

[YouAintKnow]

Yeah, thats where I remember it from.
Thats fucking gross....back to brain damage haha

[shaggzx]

HAHA......Thats funny. Now I know how I must distract the police.......Cut my dick off, kill them and posthumously cornhole them 30 or 40 times. Yes, thats it. The only way it can be done.

[YouAintKnow]

Have fun with that shagg. haha

[shaggzx]

I don't think theres enough pcp to smoke to make that happen. But I'm sure if someone is crazy enough to flat out dick their dick off and throw it at cops, there's someone crazy enough to take it a step further. Anyways, I must go to work and make those ducets. Peace and no, you're not crazy guy, toke up, the more you the smoke, the more the paranoia fades away.

i think i had an experience similar to yours, but i'd been smoking for about half a year before it happened. i was at my friend's apt smoking a couple j's (weed was some good mids, but nothing especially potent) and afterwards we went outside into the living room. as soon as i walked out the room started spinning, and i saw bright white blobs of light everywhere. after a while the feeling went away but i was left really anxious and paranoid. this wasn't just being blazed, i'd been plenty stoned before.

then for months following i would get that same anxiety/paranoia every time i smoked. not as intense as the first time but still noticeable. i'm normally a pretty anxious person, i freak out and overthink things alot, but when im sober i can control it to a good degree. i think after a while pot started to interfere with that control and it made getting stoned really unpleasant around certain people or in certain situations.

i just recently stopped getting these quasi-anxiety attacks after i realized what they were and how to control my thoughts and talk reason into myself. just gotta calm down and rationalize - which i realize is pretty hard to do when you're stoned.

so.. i don't exactly know what i was getting at, but you don't have any brain damage. it's most likely just anxiety and most likely just all in your head. i won't assume to know anything about you but you may just be an anxious person normally and the weed intensified it.

bb, don't pay any attention to those fools! You just had a panic attack. Lots of folks get them. I've had a few. The pot set one off and it was a big one. I think that may have been "woken up" to what they feel like. Before having a big panic attack, you likely had smaller ones, but you just shrugged them off as feeling a bit off for a while. Now that you know how bad they can get, you notice the beginning of the attacks and you freak out a bit at the first twinges of an attack. That, of course, sends you into a full-blown panic attack.

My hubby was asthmatic when he was younger. Just the fear of having an asthma attack, could set him off into an asthma attack. If he discovered he had left his inhaler behind somewhere or it ran out, he would start going into an asthma attack. He could have been fine for hours before, with no sign of symptoms, but as soon as he found out he didn't have access to his medication, he would start having an attack. Your panic attack are working on the same psychological mechanism.

Also, stay away from sativa strains- they can bring out paranoia and panic attacks. You should stick with the heavy indicas- "couch lock" strains.

And actually, pot does not cause brain damage. Quite the opposite! One of the cannabinoids, CBD, actually prevents alcohol induced brain damage!

Comparison of cannabidiol, antioxidants and diuretics in reversing binge ethanol-induced neurotoxicity -- Hamelink et al., 10.1124/jpet.105.085779 -- Journal of Pharmacology And Experimental Therapeutics (http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/cgi/content/short/jpet.105.085779v1)

Cannabis has neuroprotectant properties, it prevents brain damage during strokes and a lot of other stuff. As a medicine, it has a lot of applications- check this site out! Or try googling cannabis andany major disease you care to choose. Cannabis is an amazing herb!

Clinical Studies and Case Reports (http://www.cannabis-med.org/studies/study.php)

Don't worry. The effect will fade. And remember, cannabis is safer than aspirin! I've been using it for 40 years! I am the "ever-smiling teacher's aide" at a elementary/middle school. I have tutored college students through Intermediate Algebra and Statistics. If it caused brain damage, I'd be out of a job! lol - Granny:hippy:

Do not listen to her!!!! MArijuana is the most dangerous drug known to mankind!!!! It has killed everyone i know!!!!! It is the plant of satan himself!!!!!
