I joined this website claiming to be recovery oriented but that cant be.
I keep seeing people causual mention of drinking and smoking weed and derivatives of it.
I keep think it MUST be some kind of hallucination that people who have gone through the trouble of getting diagnised and prescribed are unaware this might have something to do with it.
It is just so bizzare!
I am convienced this whole website is just something I made up in my mind cause no ever ask questions like “what is psychological dependance?”
Or “I need help. I am in rehab and going through some withdraw still. How do I know the dfference between with draw symptoms and medicine side effects?”
I too am shocked to know that so many people are consumers of illicit drugs and alcohol on here.
I learned my lesson in college and don’t drink booze or do drugs, haven’t touched the stuff in years.
Lots of people using tobacco also.
I still use marijuana and alcohol on occasion. I go through long periods where I don’t because of it’s negative affects. But I still fall into bad patterns when my moods become very high or low where I’ll spend the majority of the day smoking weed or rushing to put whiskey in my coffee cup. It’s all very secretive as well… Dependent on them at times for sure.
Yeah there is a lot of prescription drug abuse also.
I personally feel that threads discussing drug use or glorifying drug use should be locked or deleted.
I quit smoking and do not do drugs or drink alcohol.
Buuut …
I think I understand those who still do.
When I was hearing voices 24/7 tormenting me and psychological torture the only thing that made me not hear them was being ridiculously drunk or being asleep.
Maybe I did binge drinking to not hear them but always behaved very bad and got in to mischief.
I was a wierd child who did not belong and I may of been a schizo child as I had symptoms before I ever tried any cigarettes drugs etc
I was on so much medication back then that I was driuling saliva .
I had so much medication my speech was slurred etc but still heard voices and none of the meds seemed to remove them and when I quit some of them I think I got better strangely enough.
I nolonger smoke or drink alcohol.
I do not think attacking people and hating on them helps the abusers of substances .
Also sometimes others were in my body steering me with hate and jealousy.
They ridiculed my low iq by saying iiiiiii this n that n steering my body into badness because they hate me.
I even slapped my face trying to make them leave.
I also hit my hand with a cane for a long time till my hand was swollen and said this abuse can be seen and proven but the voices etc can not be seen nor proven.
One of the reasons I can’t function socially is because a intense guy is in my body making it feel hysterical and overwhelming etc
He and I should talk
Them and I should talk because
Yeah, I get that, too. I hear, “Don’t you want this? Look, we have food and you don’t.”
I don’t care what other people have. Good for them.
And the ever popular, “We need you to be emotional. Why aren’t you emotional?” Uhhhh…because I’m not.
Ive spoken a couple of times about my alcohol problems on here and the odd penchant for weed - so i hope i havent offended anyone, but i did mention about quitting the stuff when i post! You got me all paranoid now! x
Irresponsible, ignorant marijuana use is potentially damaging and can cause psychosis, and even trigger schizophrenic symptoms in people susceptible to it.
There is a THC to CBD ratio to consider, where THC causes psychotic symptoms and can trigger schizophrenia in susceptible people, and CBD is more of an antipsychotic, which is where the potential for therapeutic use comes from.
CBD on its own has some scientifically proven potential to reduce schizophrenic symptoms, but that doesn’t mean people should just go and consume high-CBD, low-THC marijuana oil, they should talk to their doctor first, and get him/her on board. If a person can’t do that much, then he/she shouldn’t be messing around with CBD.
