I have met a lot of smokers through the years and have had one person tell me that his sister could not use cannabis because she was allergic to it. I have not seen everyone and will take you at your word. I’ve just never even heard of this until recently. I suppose because of the laws changing and more people owning thei rights. I oppose any law on me about my body unless I present a direct danger to others.
I experienced this when I was 17 (I am 35 now). My family has no history of mental illness. I was in boarding school in England at the time and a naive teenager; frequently smoking weed in the evening in the bathroom with my roommate after ‘lights out’. I remember feeling more and more paranoid in the weeks leading up to my psychotic episode and then one night – wham – I had a full on psychosis. I believed my roommate was reading my thoughts and that I could communicate telephatically, coupled with extreme paranoia and anxiety. Stupidly, I continued to smoke marijuana for some after, though rarely, as I was in a ‘stoner group’ and simply couldn’t make sense of what was happening to me. I then quit. It took many months for the delusion and psychosis to subside. Luckily, it eventually passed but it took me many years to fully get over this horrific time period. I cannot emphasise enough how dangerous cannabis can be, particulary for teenagers. A substance that can cause such mental disturbance in otherwise previously healthy individuals is absolutey horrific. I can only caution others to not take the risk – your mental health is everything, without it, what do you have? Don’t play russian roulette with it.
Happened to me once. Was 21, smoked a whole joint of just hash after over a month break. Was hearing so many voices in my head and i couldn't stop it and i was legit worried i had schizophrenia. Hugged my pillow extra tight and slept it off.
this happened to my boyfriend recently, and he still hasn't moved away, even though it's been about 5 days. I'm very scared, he's changed, it seems to me that he's getting better, but sometimes he has paranoia attacks and I get so scared that it's schizophrenia and he'll have to live on pills all his life. he's been smoking weed since he was 15, now he's 18. we smoked weed every day for six months, and I sometimes noticed signs of paranoia during that period, but it didn't seem serious to me. but recently we tried to move to New York, and it turned out very unsuccessfully. before moving, we reduced our marijuana consumption and smoked 1-2 times a week. and when we were in New York, it so happened that we smoked for 2 or 3 days in a row. and then the fuck started. he became terribly paranoid, he said that everyone was looking at him, that the police were going to take him away, that some drugs had been put in his cigarette. as a result, he got to the emergency hospital, but stayed there for only a day, the doctor let him go and said that everything would be fine if he didn't smoke anymore. but it's been 4 days since we got back to his parents, and he's still acting weird. he has such a lost look and sometimes has bouts of paranoia, and he still denies that he had cannabis psychosis in New York. he says that he feels not in reality and I can see in his eyes that this is so. I really hope that he will be able to return to normal, but God, I'm so scared. we don't have money or insurance to go to the doctor, we are emigrants and don't even know English well enough. I just try to believe in the best, but every time I read the stories of people who, even after a year, have barely recovered from psychosis or are now suffering from schizophrenia, I get so scared….
I’m the person that wakes and bakes, generally doing bong tips of something for a wake-up. Usually by the time coffee is ready, so am I to one degree or another. Except for clearing system while on vacation I smoke An ounce +, uplifting me and calming the part of me that wants to chunk whatever’s handy at folks who’s energy grates against my nerve. Switch over to more creative and fun loving meds in afternoon. Love and bong rips of Starkiller could if strategically places might help us move to helping others. PTFO Peace
One time when I was smoking weed, I felt like I was being watched by my family and they were judging me, I heard their muffled voices as if they were behind a wall, and then I realized that It was just the TV in the next room, it was scary.
Glad there’s videos like this. My psychosis story: I’ve never been the most stable kid in the world but I didn’t know that and after seeing a bunch of positive things about weed online and all my friends doing it, I decided to try it. I then got addicted for years and kept going into psychosis for months on end and going right back into it as soon as I left the psych ward. It got so bad I made an attempt on my life to “go to my father” which I thought was god. I am now 2 years sober and I’ve never felt better in my entire life. Im so glad I gave that shit up and I’m really living my best life. If you got this far, thank you and have a great day. 🫶
Thank you 🙏 I grew up around chronic users, smoked chronically myself and associated with chronic users and it is a real thing. I think I met two ppl who smoked chronically and who seemed stable, but I can not be certain of this. The rest, including myself really played with our health. The majority ended up on anti depressants, anti psychotics and opioids to manage the fall out from years of abuse. I grew up in a house with three chronic smokers and I can remember terming their “episodes” as drug induced psychosis at the time, I was just a kid and so I don’t know where I had picked this term up from but the madness that I witnessed and had to endure felt like psychosis to me. I argue this all the time, because ppl who don’t have intimate experiences with this drug think it is harmless because it’s natural and it’s a plant, but let me tell you from experience it is anything but harmless. I just about lost my mind growing up in that environment, nothing sane about smoking weed!
Hey whoever is having psychosis, panic attacks, negative thoughts, etc. Just say Psalm 91 or say the name of Jesus and you will feel peace go over you 😊 God bless ✝️🙏
It happened to me, I even saw a portal opening from lights, the scariest thing of it all is that I attempted suicide during it not even realizing I am about to kill myself. I was not myself, it felt like someone else took control over me. I was lucky I survived.
So what’s the difference between weed psychosis and just paranoid after smoking a lot after a month break with no tolerance , every time I take a break and have no tolerance I sometimes get paranoid nothing crazy just know I’m super high
So is weed psychosis the word for when you get too high? Or is it something more beyond just getting to high

What is "Weed Psychosis"? Bull—-. A sad attempt to drum business for the rehab rackets.

This is not your grandpa's weed.

Is this a part of the reason why it’s so hard to stop smoking cannabis?
Thank you 🙏

I would see myself from a third person perspective, and it actually went on for months

I woke up with a banana in my ass….
Bull shit
This is happening to my brother right now and it’s super frustrating.
Weed psychosis is not a thing. It's not scientifically backed up with evidence at all. But of it did exist this moron is the only one who ever had it.
It happened to me, I even saw a portal opening from lights, the scariest thing of it all is that I attempted suicide during it not even realizing I am about to kill myself. I was not myself, it felt like someone else took control over me. I was lucky I survived.

How is prescribing schizophrenia meds a good way to combat that? Wouldn’t they advise to stop using cannabis before that alternative?
Happens to me when i smoke this is what they dont want to talk about because were pro drug and pro crime today
