i have only recently begun to use marijuana, and the first couple times i seem to have reacted to it in normal ways. however, the other day i smoked a particularly tightly packed bowl, and although that evening i seem to have reacted to it fine, i am still feeling what i believe are the effects of the marijuana 5 full days later. the morning after i smoked, i seemed to have recovered and was NOT feeling high (although a bit hazy). the evening of the second day i spontaneously began to feel high again and this has persisted for the last 4 days. although the quality of the 'high' of the first night seemed much more intense than subsequent days, i am beginning to worry that the marijuana may have permanently changed my brain chemistry. i have just begun to smoke, but i have never previously been on a trip for more than one evening. i do not believe the marijuana was laced, since my friends were fine. i do not believe that my high is psychosomatic, although it seems to get more intense when i am nervous.

a few things make me think that this could all be in my head. 1. the fact that i stopped being high for 12 hours the day after i smoked and spontaneously started getting high the next evening (interestingly enough when i was thinking about the previous evening's trip). 2. after the first night, i could not feel the high IN my head; rather, for the next 4 days, only on my skin (i seemed to be able to think fine). 3. the tingling high sensation on my skin seems to get more intense when i am feeling nervous. yet a couple things also make me think that the THC is still active. 1. in previous trips, although i came down in a normal time frame, my highs seemed to always be more intense than others. 2. for the last 4 days, i haven't felt particularly 'anxious'; i seem to feel a milder version of the original high in my tactile sensations (minus the psychedelic effects). 3. each day the effects seem to wear off a little more. 4. for the last few days the first thing i checked was to see if i was still feeling 'it' -- i often was -- it doesn't seem like i was hallucinating the effects. 5. i have never had anxiety about any previous time ive smoked.

i think that 5 days is a ridiculous amount of time for the marijuana to still be active in my system. i wonder if this experienced may be linked to a family history of schizophrenia. should i seek help?
