How could Adderall and drugs in general affect me later in life?
I self diagnosed myself with Inattentive ADD, I’m 17. I fit/match most if not all symptoms listed on websites. The thing is I quit marijuana not to long ago(3-17-2010) and since continuous use of weed affects short term memory, and since I’m currently in school I can’t afford to fail.
I quit because of short term memory, i’m also sick of smoking and am done with drugs.
I’m not sure if all I’m experiencing is Marijuana withdrawal symptoms, because I smoke all school year I haven’t learned nothing really. I can’t remember much about these past months or simply what i did yesterday or day before that. I hate it. Now having quit weed almost a month later I could be having the withdrawal symptoms. And if so I’m not sure whether to go to a doctor to see if I can get adderall prescribed.
First listen please, I bet now it sounds like I want to abuse of Adderall like other people but the truth is I’am still trying to graduate, I’m class of this year, and next week we have a state assessment and everything I study for I do not absorb also info from lectures, I cannot remember and cannot read something (books,passages) and remember what I’ve read.
I truly (in the name of the lord) do not know if it’s weed wthdwl. symptoms or inattentive ADD!
What do you think? I’ve been trying to study for the past 2 hours and keep getting frustrated.
Could weed have caused permanently ADD-i, or did I have it before i started smoking weed and maybe never realized it? I’m so confused I don’t know what to do, becasue maybe in the way I typed this it sounds like i just want them prescribed(in a way i do if truly there was way to tell if i have it) but since there isn’t really a way to tell I just don’t know, because If I get them prescribed and in reality it’s just weed withdrawal symptoms I risk side effects of sudden death which I do not want.
What to do? probably sounds like I’m crazy, but who know I could be, but then again it’s all opinion so I don’t know. Then again I continue to wonder why i’m even asking this question. also i haven’t been to the doctor in 5 years, last and only checkups were at 7 years of age and 12.
I also think doctors are really just licensed drug dealers, what do you think?
I started smoking marijuana June 2 2009, i used it because I’ve always been that quiet kid, I wanted to become more socialized with it, but hate the after effects of using it, i may have become a burnout.
Very True, I take that back. Only some doctors are that way, and no I didn’t take offense. I think you are right I am more anxious than anything.

Which illegal drugs has Michelle Obama used? Barack admits to using marijuana and cocaine?
Quotes from Barack Obama’s autobiography.
We cannot let a marijuana-smoking, crack-cocaine using person occupy the Office of President of the United States of America.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/12/12/clinton-cochair-attacks-_n_76549.html
Junkie. Pothead. That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man,” Obama wrote in his book Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance. “The highs hadn’t been about that, me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by then, anyway. I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory.”
Elsewhere in the book Obama writes, “We were always playing on the white man’s court . . . The only thing you could choose was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it.”

Does legal weed Gonjah, K2, Spice, Zohai, Genie Herbal smoke blends get you high like marijuana? or bad trip?
Posted By: pothead5 @ 03/17/2010 1:32:34 PM
“K2” a.k.a. “Spice,” “Genie,” “Zohai” and “Gonjah” are all hallucinogens, these horrible drugs are synthetic man-made compounds ( JWH-018 and JWH-073) .
“K2 and all the others cause increased heart rate, loss of consciousness, paranoia, hallucinations and psychotic episodes. Users can develop chemical dependencies, withdrawal and addictive behaviors.”
These “herbal smoke” “legal weeds” are all dangerous drugs and the complete opposite of marijuana. This stuff doesn’t even have a medical use. They’re dangerous! Trust me.

The symptoms and side affects listed above are facts. Teens are getting high on “fake weed,” a concoction also known as K2 and “spice” that is also causing hallucinations, vomiting, agitation and other dangerous effects. People are dying or freaking out on this stuff. Scary man. Stay away!

There have been hospitalizations here in San Diego. There have been 10 News reports on a 14 year old who still has a rapid heartbeat and bad psychoactive effects 6 weeks after taking “K2” a.k.a. “Genie” .

I tried it last night. It isn’t at all like pot. K2 / “spice” or “gonjah” is more like a horrible hallucinogen than a relaxer. I used K2 Blonde in a two-hit bowl. It took about 5 minutes to feel the effect and it wasn’t a mellow high. It was, instead, about 90 minutes of visual and auditory hallucinations accompanied by heightened sensory experiences and diminished motor control. When my eyes were open, everything seemed to be wavy and what I was looking at before my eyes closed became distorted in my mind’s eye – for example, all of the DVDs by the TV had tails that were going around in circles.
There were a few moments when I almost panicked because the experience was not at all what I expected and extremely intense but by focusing my mental efforts on a specific object in my memory; I was able to keep the panic under control. The effects didn’t significantly subside for at least 90 minutes and some of the bad trip persisted throughout the night.

My 16 year old son tired this crap last night and TRIED TO JUMP FROM HIS BED ON THE SECOND STORY THROUGH THE WINDOW TO THE SWIMMING POOL BELOW!! He was completely out of his mind. He ended up cutting his head in 4 places and his face in 3. He had to get 69 stitches. This stuff is dangerous. The paramedics assumed he was on PCP because he was showing the same behaviors. I’ve already started writing a letter to my state representatives to have it banned Texas.

This crap causes fast heart palpitations especially when mixed with antidepressants or other drugs, its not surprising that “k2″, “gonjah” or “spice” cause similar reactions on their own or worse if it is in fact mixed with something.
Read the reports on this stuff. They all have some intense psychedelic effects similar to LSA or Ketamine, very different then marijuana. stay away.

In St. Louis, Anthony Scalzo, a pediatrician and toxicologist at Saint Louis University Hospital, says he’s seen nearly 30 teenagers come through local ERs suffering from bad trips on K2 just in the last six weeks! Scalzo says he’s spoken with his counterparts at poison-control centers in Atlanta, New Jersey, and New York City.

First–JWH018 binds to the same receptor as delta9-THC, but lacks the cannabinoid structure, so it is chemically different but biologically similar.
Second—BEWARE! in the past when “legal weed THC” / “crystalline THC” (which is not a crystal but actually an oil) was sold around here it often turned out to be PCP! That may explain the psychotic activation and increased blood pressure seen in the ER. A moderate amount of PCP often causes users to feel detached, distant, and estranged from their surroundings. Numbness of the extremities, slurred speech, and loss of coordination may be accompanied by a sense of strength and invulnerability. A blank stare, rapid and involuntary eye movements, and an exaggerated gait are among the more observable effects. Auditory hallucinations, image distortion, severe mood disorders, and amnesia may also occur. In some users, PCP may cause acute anxiety and a feeling of impending doom; in others, paranoia and violent hostility, and in some, it may produce a psychoses indistinguishable from schizophrenia. Many believe PCP to be one of the most dangerous drugs of abuse. Doses of PCP, equal a drop in blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiration. This may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, flicking up and down of the eyes, drooling, loss of balance,
