It´s getting worse. Just one puff and I start to get paranoid around people and mildly psychotic.
That drove me mad, and that’s why my weed smoking days are well and truly at an end

It used to make me very paranoid. Sometimes I could smoke it alone.

It makes me think too much about my life. Like why am I always alone? Why am I so different? I can handle it alone but I haven’t used it in years. Also I was with some friends years ago and they broke out some Dabs and 2 hits blew me away. I ended up going for a walk and sitting down in the middle of the road. I also blacked out on it. Hated it. I don’t know why it’s never happened with normal weed but I blacked out on the Dabs.

I’m afraid you have to accept this and just stop.
I quit when I was first psychotic. And went back to it a couple of times far later. Both times it wasn’t just a brief paranoia, but it completely ruined my thinking for months. Not worth it.

I don’t like being “high”, but I do like the calming effect of cannabis. Haven’t smoked it for about 4 month or so, but I do idealize smoking in my daily routine… it lets me feel things and motivates me into doing things. I feel flat emotional wise mostly with out it.
I did trip out on the vape pens for THC on the street. Felt dizzy and nauseous. Couldn’t stand up or talk. Those things are dangerous

It’s not good for you brother. You have to stop or leave it behind you and in the past.
You can see it is giving you paranoia and psychotic symptoms. You have to leave it behind

Smoking weed makes my heart race.

For me it caused more problems than just brief paranoia while I was high. It caused my previous symptoms to come back. I would start looking for messages in things, and had a harder time reading situations etc.
Also - if it does make you paranoid while taking it - why are you taking it? Ideally it should make you calm/relaxed etc.

This isn’t how mental health works at all and TBH I find it offensive.
You’re free to speak about what helped you, but don’t tell ME I did it wrong.
For me the solution was clearly to stop smoking weed.

Sometimes i think I would give up my right arm to be able to smoke weed. But if you are here on this site, then in all likelihood it has to go. MA (Marijuana Anonymous) is a good place to start if you’re ready to quit. Right now, due to quarantine, they have zoom meetings only, no in-person ones. This might work out better if you’d like to truly be anonymous and just listen.
Good luck.

if you could just learn to control the psychosis then we wouldn’t need meds though huh.

Yep, last time I smoked weed (and it will truly be the last time) I was gone after one little puff. I knew that was time to hang it up, lol. It made me so psychotic, it was horrible. Never again.
good luck with that. I tried so many things but could never control the psychosis cause when i’m in it i’m not really aware that i’m in it, so controlling it is hard… i’m not even sure it’s possible.

Ah yeah. Illness is just a lack of self control. Nice one.
