I wish weed wasnāt legal in the state where I live. I voted to legalize too.
But as long as weāre āprohibitingā as a country we may as well include alcohol and gambling.
My town has about 10,000 people and probably 10 bars and as many video poker storefronts.
I smoke cannabis pretty much constantly and Iāve been med compliant for three years.
Iām guessing people self medicate with weed vs taking apās.
Weed makes you feel good.
AP makes you feel like crap.
To the inexperienced (and young) schizophrenic, the choice seems obvious.
Its not experience, its your body chemistry and how your body reacts to it. Some ppl become paranoid from weed and some feel good. I become paranoid and violent. My brothers friend become paranoid. Frequency of smoking didnāt matter, it always made us paranoid and for me violent too. Sometimes it gave me hallucinations, I was smelling urine, gasoline, bread, burnt plastic after smoking weed, olfactory hallucinations.
I had a friend who smoked weed every few hours and he never gets paranoid. I had to leave him bcz he kept giving me puffs and smoking it in my car eventhough I told him its making me paranoid and violent. Its legal here.
I think that my nephew is self medicating with weed.
According to my brother he smokes a lot.
Sooooā¦Conclusion:
When you smoke weed you get lazy and put off doing stuff.
Just give me the %!!*$ research money, already!!
I was more active when I smoked weed. I did boring chores and errandsā¦ passed time. But it depends on quality and strand I guess
Not trying to promote cannabisā¦ but a Dominican women I that I was in love with in the past smoked constantly.
The second we would wake up, she would pass me a blunt and smoke in the bed. Living with her, smoking and doing stuff and taking care of our dogs were the happiest days of my lifeā¦ not gonna lieš I would pre roll blunts for her when she went out So she didnāt have to rollā¦ honestly the life style I had pre psychosis days then, is my model of āhappinessā even now. I look forward to life like that againā¦
Or am I just a cannabis addict?
Sounds like paradise. A pot smoking Dominican who wakes and bakes. You help out by rolling a fewā¦ sounds like a South American fantasy camp.
It was paradiseā¦ but not all is good about cannabis, Iām have been arrested for it and did get into car accident. I was acting like a junkie and roaming on the street trying to score at mid nightā¦
but I miss it sometimes.
Wish I can get my life together again
If I smoked now I may feel, guilty, lonely, tired and depressed. Also paranoidā¦ I can see why it can trigger psychosis and schizophrenia.
How does cannabis make you feel? Do you get euphoria? And which strain do you smoke/vape?
I wish I could smoke weed. Iād love to get high and kill time.
The first and last time I smoked weed was in 2016, one year before my first psychotic episode. When I smoked it it amplified my paranoia and weird mental state. Never touched it again. I think if people have preexisting mental health issues, then weed makes it worse. Right now I have no schizophrenic symptoms but I still wouldnāt risk smoking it incase of psychosis or worse, permanent dissociation.
Iām just getting over a 7 month weed bender.
Like @Abise I smoked from morning until I went to bed. It made my life better. I can see how having a smoking partber would amplify things.
The problem is I never left my house. I was socially withdrawn from my neighbors. And OMG did it make me stupid.
