Does anyone know what happened to my friend? He smoked a marijuana joint given to him by a jealous co-worker.?
About a week later he began getting severe withdrawal symptoms that included hallucinations, psychosis, severe depression, tremor, panic, anxiety, among many other symptoms.
Many of these symptoms are gone now, but over 7 months later he is still experiencing tremor and severe depression and other mental problems. What is going on? Can his joint have been laced with something really potent? Will he ever return to normal? He was hospitalized for several weeks, but got no answer as to what specifically is wrong with him (his blood tests showed traces of PCP and cocaine). Anyone have any idea?

How long does it take for withdrawal symptoms to go away?
I smoke, what I would say to be, a lot of weed. About 3 blunts a day (1.5 grams per blunt) Today is day 1 of no more marijuana. But I feel HORRIBLY depressed, frustrated, and intolerably bored. Suffering from insomnia, food taste like sh*t now and I am having a very difficult time being optimistic.
I quit because I think the psychoactive properties in the weed is screwing with my head. I feel really paranoid about everything. I draw the craziest conclusions out of nothing. idk…
My friend said not to quit, for it will make things worse. (he explained to me moderation is the way to go..but to be honest I feel weed is the root of my problems..seeing as all my main problems started around the time i picked up weed as a habit)
Or maybe I have some kind of disorder and weed is amplifying it. idk..but i just want to be happy again =[ and btw when im high my social skills are pathetic. and now they seem to be bad when im sober.
I hope this blows away in a week and im back to normal!

I didn’t smoke marijuana for one day, and It made me really anxious?
I’ve been smoking weed a lot in the past couple weeks, pretty much every day.. and yesterday I didn’t smoke at all, and I felt weird all day. Like disconnected from reality. Somehow, I viewed the world differently. And that night, i got really anxious and paranoid. I was just laying in my bed, and I felt scared of everything around me.
No, I don’t have a mental illness, I’ve never experienced anything that intense.
I’ve heard smoking pot can cause insanity/schizophrenia, is that true? Maybe I was just used to being chilled out, and I was just sober yesterday? Did I have some kind of withdrawal effect?
Has anybody else had an experience like this?

What bad side effects have you experienced from Marijuana?
It changed me as a person. I have always been a proponent for the use of pot but I started to notice these things increase over time. I have laziness, short-term memory, dark circles under my eyes, sleep problems, “weirdness”, anxiety and depression, decrease in social contacts. All psychological withdrawal symptoms besides dark-circles which I think is from smoking and careless diet. I am quitting. I will say that pot inspired me creatively with music and writing but I think it has opened me up enough and I want to go back to normal and be able to not feel awkward. Don’t give me any crap about how pot is God’s drug he planted here for us and it is natural and makes you happy. You have no idea what chronic use can do to you if you say this.
I have considered suicide before…It DID lead me to other drugs. I experienced pscilocybin mushrooms numerous times as well as mescaline. I also tried salvia which was insane.
I am not saying marijuana is a terrible drug in minimal amounts. Constant everyday use is not healthy why do some people believe this? If you looked at my life before i started you would see that these things are defiinately the result of marijuana. I may have smoked alot but I am not stupid. Marijuana shortens your dendrites,(making you forgetful and slow) makes you overanalyze things (making you indecisive). It may relax you, but all the while your heart is racing, and some people can’t help but attribute this to anxiety. I also have been smoking very potent weed. Not regular swag. I have seen the same things in other people. It takes over the activities you once loved. For instance, I like to play soccer. But, then i decided i should get high and play. So then soccer became associated with getting high. Not to mention that marijuana slows your reflexes as well. I dont play soccer anymore because of my symptoms.

question for anyone whos smoked marijuana or has done ecstasy?
i quit a long time ago and went through the whole withdrawal phase (which SUCKKSSS beyond anything in the whole world), but i’ve noticed i don’t really get mad anymore. i don’t know if its from when i was smoking and being mellow all time made me just calm and see things from another perspective, or if its from a seratonin deficiency from the ecstasy that affects your mood. i mean don’t get me wrong im perfectly fine and my life is in order im not a druggy, but i just noticed i don’t really get angry anymore. as if i’ve found some inner happiness lol. im a bit scared though that if i do get angry enough that it will show in an uncontrollable outburst of rage. anyway its been 6 months since i last smoked and a year since my experience with x, anybody else like this at all or wana share their story or opinion?

help serious dilemma with marijuana?
ok so i’ve been smoking bud for about two and half years. it started out like once or twice a month, then weekly, then a few times a week, then it progressed to every day. I was not addicted, however. i was afraid i was gonna be addicted so i decided to stop for six months, and did so without any problems at all (no cravings, withdrawal symptoms,etc) so i decided to start smoking again once i convinced myself i wasn’t addicted. also, i’m still on the honor roll in school and i’m still starting forward on the varsity basketball team, so it hasn’t been detrimental in any of those aspects. Once of my friends felt they had the right to nark me out, and sent an annonymous tip to my parents that i was smoking, and they found out, and now are doing drug tests to ensure i don’t smoke anymore. i can’t convince them that it isn’t bad for you, because i had a full physical at the doctors office, complete with x-rays, ultrasounds, even an MRI (my mom is a doctor) to show my parents i wasn’t unhealthy because of it, and all of the tests came back excellent and the doctor said i was in perfect health. i don’t want to stop smoking, a lot of my friends smoke, it gives me a good way to relax, and it’s not unhealthy. what should i do, my life is boring as hell now?
i can’t smoke behind they’re back because they do drug tests and they’ll know if i smoke
i don’t need a hobby i’m in a band and we’re really good we just won a competition in the city and we’re waiting on a possible record deal

Quitting a 8 year marijuana habit… suggestions?
I’m into day 3 of abstaining from smoking after 8 years of everyday use. I’m doing OK, but suffering insomnia, sweats, anxiety, anger and depression. I have told myself for several years now “I need a break, I need to quit.” I took a break here a there but for the most part they didn’t last more then 5 days. Now I feel it is time.
I think of how much money I’ve spent these past 8 years on drugs in general, and it’s a slap in the face that I realized I could’ve bought a house cash. $50 a day habit adds up, plus my weekend drug abuse of other substances which add ontop. My motivation to do anything was diminished due to my mood being satisfied with drugs.
I refuse to go out so I remain bored all day because 95% of my friends smoke and the ones that don’t, don’t really hang out cause of full-time jobs. I think about smoking whenever my mind isn’t occupied doing something, sometimes even during. My mind feels more “cloudy” now then it did when I was using…
How have others coped? I guess what I am asking is, if you could please share your recovery process and your withdrawal symptoms and when they subsided. Anyone who could share their experiences I would greatly appreciate it.

why the heck is marijuana illegal in America??
i am going to spill my heart out on this one because i feel so strongly about it.. when i smoke pot i feel great im happy (while i smoke and after) i feel more motivated, and relaxed i get into activities like reading because i get this urge to learn.
also i have quit for 3 to 6 month at a time with no withdrawal syndromes whatsoever.
it is true that everyone reacts differently (and i happen to have a very positive reaction to it) to it…
however that is true about cigarettes and alcohol too but they remain legal.
magick: do you seriously think that is why.. if so you are very ignorant and not that bright… the things you listed have happened numerous times with people who were drunk.. i am actually appalled at ur supporting facts they are so irrelevant to the case.. even if weed were legal it would be illegal to operate any kind of vehicle under the influence… which is the same with alcohol which is legal does this not make sense to you?

how to pass an “at home drug test” for marijuana?
i have heard so much stuff about bleach, vitamin b, niacin, tea, and mostly water dilution. I stopped smoking a few days ago, and i should be getting drug tested around august 11th. I don’t want to use any of the store bought detox drinks, and i’m willing to get some grocery store items if necessary, but i need all serious answers. I’m not addicted to weed, i can stop whenever the **** i want without any withdrawals. and if you are going to say, “uhh just don’t smoke” (generic anti-marijuana advice)– just don’t even bother answering. you’re stupid, i have a 4.0 and washboard abs. SMD. so please, people who know what they are talking about, and preferably daily smokers, feed me your knowledge.

What is the technical explanation for headaches among individuals withdrawing from Marijuana ( Cannabis ) use?
I know headaches are among the symptoms that many people do experience upon withdrawal from SMOKING (and no other methods, for this questions purpose for now) and I know that they start within about 24 hours of withdrawal and last a few days (or occasionally longer due to prolonged heavy use) and intensify after day 2 till they slowly subside.
I do know the brain itself cannot feel any pain, hence i’m curious to know what is exactly causing and what is exactly feeling this pain.
What I’m interested in, is the technical explanation and the biological cause of this pain. Let’s say, the individual has reported repeatedly that the pain occurs after every instance of withdrawal from regular use, and is ONLY felt in the area immediately behind the forehead (It’s certainly not felt deeper than 2 inches from the scalp). mostly on the right and left sides of the forehead and hardly ever around the center; the areas above both eyes basically.
the pain is not quite constant, it seems that it’s intensity is ever-changing and it feels the most intense near the eyebrows (where the forehead has a mild tiny bump right above-behind the eyebrows).
Now, i wanna find out what is it that’s causing this pain and which parts of the head are feeling this and why. Is the pain due to changes in blood vessels? is it coming from any other part of the brain? or maybe it’s just due to neurochemical changes? and if the brain itself cannot feel the pain, then what is feeling this pain? the skull? the eyes? the blood vessels themselves?
I appreciate people who treat others with etiquette, respect and logic. PLEASE ONLY ANSWER the question directly and PLZZZZ for your beloved Jesus’s sake AVOID all that PROPAGANDA talk. This is a question with an answer, I’m sure and the answer is not “just say no to pot” ok? so lets behave like adults and get to the bottom of this scientifically!
thanx in advance!
