I only smoked weed about three times in my life. The last time was years ago, it made me trip out probably as bad as if I dropped some acid. So I gave it up forever.

I quit in 1980 when I finally realized that was what was making me paranoid.

My roommate smokes it all the time. And he is more functional than I am.
So it doesnāt seem to do much to him.
For me if I do Iāll be in the twilight zone with an IQ of 52 lol
I donāt smoke pot. It did help me, however Iām waiting until it can be prescribed in a medical setting. It can help reverse nerve damage, reduce pain, and is more beneficial than pills according to a few studies in NIMH comparing marijuana to Muscular Dystrophy medicines, Iāve read it was the only thing that helped certain children with muscle and nerve diseases, plus epileptic seizuresāsomehow it helps with that. Epilepsy is related to Bipolar which I have. I am not condoning illegal use of marijuana. I am waiting until it can be legally prescribed because I wonāt deny that it helped me a lot in the past to recover from epileptic symptoms.

I had schizophrenia before I ever tried any sort of marijuana or drinking. I was diagnosed when I was age fifteen/sixteen. I had never done drugs before I was diagnosed. I turned to drugs to cope with the hospitalizations and trauma. It was not a good thing to use drugs however marijuana can be damaging for some people, and brings out psychoactive symptoms in many.
this, it now is not sure/sure that taking zyprexa and an anti depressant shrinks the brain.
that doesnt sound good.
Monkeys treated with haloperidol and olanzapine for 17 to 27 months lost roughly 10% of their total brain volume

I can see where youāre coming from 21stCenturySM. It does help with depression and a few other things.
In the past 9 months iāve smoke pot maybe a total of 5 times. I cannot advocate itās medicinal useā¦ because iām not a psychiatrist. I tend to do better without smoking in general.
Yeah it helps me with a lot of things. Though I donāt suffer with depression.
Iād recommend just not buying anymore weed. Maybe that is took simplistic. For me, not having it in the house makes it very unlikely. I would have to call my dealer. Its the same with alcohol, if its in hte house I drink it but if it is at the package store it is enough of a hurdle to stop me.
Same goes for junk food.
I legit donāt care because it keeps me sane thatās all I have to say. And Iād rather suffer antipsychotic-induced brain damage than psychosis-induced brain damage, which Iām sure is worse. Also, my medication (Abilify) is not a dopamine antagonist (itās a partial agonist) like every single other antipsychotic so Iām pretty sure Iām good.
I stopped smoking dope and all illegal drugs in 1989. Pot scared the hell out of me even though I liked it much more than alcohol, which I hate. I take doctor prescribed drugs, and Iām sure they have adverse effects too, but that is a matter of degree. Pot messed with my head to a degree that for me is unacceptable.

I still smoke but ALLOT less than I used to.I have my weed and my bong on my coffee table with my computer.Had my heart broken once again.I am 55 yet when it comes to love I dont learn a damn thing.I have been celibate for 16 years I am also one of the youngest people where I live.It is torture being in my skin.I used to be promiscuous and always had something going but I think I fall too hard too fast.
Sometimes when things get overwhelming I smoke it. But it only makes the problem a lot worse.
Well, I tried going without pot for about a week
Feeling: still paranoid, irritable, angsty, moody, frustrated, panic over future, past, and nowā¦canāt stop pacing, happiness fading, malcontent spreading, I am anything but the mellow me right now, keep canceling plans, keep talking back to peopleā¦
I wonder if the fact that I started young and kept smoking through adult hood somehow made me become tolerant to the awful symptoms everyone else here speaks of.
I also wonder if the fact that I smoked while taking my antipsychotics led to some kind of interaction that I became adjusted toā¦
.i miss it, but alas I have no money and the city Iām in has banned deliveries and dispensaries in their ongoing efforts to keep medicinal cannabis a crime to patients/providersā¦that old saying, youāre not paranoid if theyāre really out to get you.
