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.

Can hydrocodone, other painkillers, and marijuana have dangerous effects with anesthesia?

I have taken hydrocodone and tramadol, as well as some antihistamines, on about 5 occasions within two weeks of surgery when I will be going under general anesthesia. I have also used marijuana occasionally. I did not tell the nurse about the hydrocodone and tramadol because she was asking about my drug use right in front of my mother (pretty stupid as most kids aren’t going to tell their whole story of drug use in front of their mom), although she did want specific information about my marijuana use.

Could using these drugs this far before surgery have an effect on anesthesia? I have no addiction, so withdrawal would not be an issue. They didn’t make much of an issue of alcohol with the exception of poisoning my liver right before surgery, so I am thinking maybe these drugs aren’t an issue as long as I don’t take them right before surgery. Thanks a lot.

I am 15 i have smoked really potent marijuana for 3 years now on an inconsistent bases. For the past 3 months I have smoked weed at least every night in vaporizers, blunts, joints, bongs, bowls and pretty much whatever i could find . I had trouble managing my usage so i decided to stop before it got much worse. I stopped smoking cold turkey on monday the 14th of december and it is now friday the 18th.I feel pretty much like crap and i haven’t been well enough to go to school. I have terrible head aches, im tired a lot and sometimes nauseous. I would like to know if these are normal side effects of stopping marijuana usage and if they are what can i do to feel better. Also i understand that the withdrawal from marijuana is not considered a big deal and more serious drugs have significantly worse withdrawals.

Cracked by Crack: the Side Effects of Cocaine Withdrawal and Abuse

admin — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 01:19:51 +0000

Pure cocaine, along with the so-called “poor man’s cocaine” known as “crack,” is among the most widely abused substances in the world today. The pure cocaine in powder form is usually mistaken as fine sugar or baking soda. The street variant called crack is diluted and mixed with baking soda, allowing the street pushers to reap more profits. People who become addicted to both cocaine and “crack” are considered to be among the worst addicts that can be found in a rehab clinic mainly because of the intense physical and mental health damage that prolonged use can lead to. There is an extensive list of negative effects associated with long-term use of “crack.” Withdrawal from crack addiction is also very difficult in physiological and psychological terms.

Nasal passages, which are the primary pathways by which cocaine gets into an addict’s body, can also suffer severe damage due to prolonged abuse. However, the damage tends to manifest only after the drug has been removed and withdrawal has occurred. Among the possible side effects of the damage are runny noses, nasal congestion, and nose bleeding. These side effects are relatively minor and can easily be treated by using the appropriate medications and having good environment, especially at home. During cocaine withdrawal, nasal problems are likely going to be the least of a recovering addict’s worries.

Panic attacks similar to those developed by people with panic disorders are not uncommon to both addicts and recovering users. This is more pronounced once a person undergoes withdrawal because there is no longer the psychologically “stabilizing” effect of the drug. Also, people undergoing withdrawal have become so used to having “crack” on hand that they are almost mentally incapacitated by being deprived of it. Insomnia is also a recognized side effect of being forcibly withdrawn from cocaine abuse. However, insomnia encountered during withdrawal has a shorter range of effect compared with regular cases of insomnia. Mild headaches and occasional periods of excessive fear and anxiety are also possible symptoms of prolonged abuse, though they are not considered common.

Muscle spasms are usually associated with the more violent cases of withdrawal. This is particularly common in those cases where the user has developed a dependency on the cocaine being in the system, such that the mind no longer believes the body can function without it. Muscle spasms are usually a minor indication of a worsening problem in cases such as this, since people who develop them tend to suffer more physically violent symptoms of drug withdrawal. These problems generally occur in the earlier stages of withdrawal, as the shock to the body being cut off from “crack” is still fresh. As the withdrawal sets in and the cleansing process is underway, the body slowly adjusts to a normal state and the likelihood of muscle spasms and convulsions decreases considerably.

Chronic pain in the chest and coughing have also been noted as possible symptoms. Some withdrawal patients report that the coughing can sometimes be accompanied by severe chest pains. Phlegm coughed up by these patients tend to be colored black and are generally not mixed with blood unless the patient has another respiratory condition. Coughing and phlegm of this sort also manifests in people that abuse marijuana or nicotine. This is generally alleviated by any number of over-the-counter cough medications or increased intake of water and other fluids.

Marijuana withdrawal effects – What will my son feel?

admin — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:45:38 +0000

My son just graduated college. He can’t get a job because of the economy (he has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and a 3.7 GPA from Rutgers), but you probably would not guess that he is an ‘enthusiast’ of cannabis. He also would probably (unfortunately) not be able to get a job anyway because of his smoking pot. He’s been a “pot head” for a while now. My husband and I became aware how often he was smoking it. When we confronted him he said if he stops smoking now he feels uncomfortable and anxious. His doctor prescribed him a medication like Xanax called “Ativan.” What will that do? Will it help or will he feel better? Also are marijuana withdrawal effects that real? I never guessed they would even exist.
