Cannabis psychosis.. Anybody here have it?

Maybe weed interferes with the still-developing brain. I've read some studies that support this. Given the demographic around here, there are A LOT of people under the age of 20 that complain about negative side effects of weed.

The frontal lobe of the male brain stops developing in the late 20s, fyi. Don't do too many drugs now kids

I only had depression and hypomania, then I smoked weed and had the ability to have full blown mania. But weed helps depression and hypomania so it's all good.

I'll tell you this, cannabis psychosis is extremely possible. I suffered from it for 6 months. It usually comes after your first long session of smoking (more than a few months) that you partake in. You get so lost in your thoughts that are caused by the marijuana, that you slowly begin layering on a number of mental disorders. Paranoia, derealization, depersonalization, depression, anxiety are all caused by YOU, and the way you're letting your mind get warped.

I cured my "Cannabis psychosis" by taking a 6-month break from marijuana, then smoking again and basically going into my brain and reorganizing the way I think. When I first smoked, I walked around this club and realized that I was a very special person compared to these people. That knocked off the low self esteem layer I packed on through my first period of smoking. I smoked again at my house a few days later, and knocked off another layer. and I kept on every few days, basically realigning my thinking pattern and getting it back to a positive state of mind. It works!

From now on when you smoke, remember not to let yourself get lost. Make sure to tell yourself that you're high and be yourself. Don't lose it.

was interesting to read your point about reorganising your mind whilst stoned. recently did something similar after smoking after having not smoked for ages. if youve read my first msg in this thread youll realise the potential for insanity was definatley there by adopting this method but shit was pretty bad so was worth a try. seems to have worked. dont know about realising such a special person part but basically stopped giving a fuck and it has helped problem s a lot.

The above posters quote seems to prove my prior point. It's all psychological.

I had this friend who I used to hang out with, one day he smoked too much and started freaking out, saying he was seeing my face morph into monsters and and other people from his past. I think he's borderline schizophrenic, so it probably wasn't a good idea for him to smoke.

I'd have to disagree to some extent. Some is certainly psychological, but a lot of other factors are in play too. Diet, caffiene/chemical intake from things like soda - everything and anything you do affects the high.

in my gods honest opionion i dont think there is a link from cannabis to a mental health problem BUT i do think that most people who have metnal health problems are much much more likely to smoke... i have seen it with my own eyes people who already havea condtion they smoke, some are fine, some arent but the ones that arent blame pot.

I totaly think you are getting a handle on this and you can think your self into and out of a hole. I get kidney stones and the pain sometimes is so great it sends my body into shock. I have litterly thought my self out of a heart attack buy mentaly grasping ahold of the pain and meditading smoking for pain and breathing along with staying hydrated. It is scary sometimes it actualy feels like I am fighting for my life, then a milasecond later I feel calm collected the weed helps the pain and I mentaly have to calm my body down, endorphins and adrenaline rush though my body and I dont get high from the weed I just get numb in the areas where the pain is. I dont recomend anyone try this method or they might find you dead days or hours later. Socrates was right in that quote sometime only when near death or in an alterd state or reality can you achive the next level or clearity of the actual moment in reality. Thats why you see Navy Seals take and adjust to intense pain, stress, physical and mental demands. because basicaly they dont mind and it dont matter

I had to add "be like water" water does not fight it addapts. if yu are in pain become pain if you are in war become war if you thoughts get the best of you become your thoughts get the best of them
