Not saying that weed is completely horrible, but just be aware of what it can do. If you experience any negative side affects STOP NOW or be ready to face the consequences!.. a lot of people will say "oh no.. its fine. If you just keep smoking it'll go away in time, ya just gotta get past it" YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HEARD THIS BULLSHIT! I would know if its a phase or not and it definitely wasnt for me.. my high starts with social anxiety/ racing thoughts and progresses into full blown substance induced psychosis.
Having psychosis = psychotic .[Psychosis is a serious mental disorder characterized by thinking and emotions that are so impaired, that they indicate that the person experiencing them has lost contact with reality.
People who are psychotic have false thoughts (delusions) and/or see or hear things that are not there (hallucinations). These are referred to as “positive” symptoms; “negative” symptoms like loss of motivation and social withdrawal can also occur.]
And just take in mind that I smoked for 3 years before any psychotic symptoms even arose.. So watch out! Haha BEWARE
very dangerous shit. Also.. i have heard people say multiple times "its probably just an underlying issue.. you just need to get medicated with pills first" i do have underlying problems. i struggle with borderline personality disorder (a mental disorder) on a daily basis. so i did some research and went to rehab and got diagnosed and medicated... LIKE I DONT KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE THINK THOUGHT THEY WERE SAYING I JUST NEED PILLS AND THEN I CAN SMOKE WEED AND NOT EXPERIENCE PSYCHOSIS... BUT THEY WERE DEFINITELY NOT FUCKING DOCTORS IF YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT PILLS AND SHIT DONT TALK ABOUT IT. stop fucking giving people dumb advice that isnt even medically valid. I am currently on an anti-psychotic, 2 anti-depressant, a mood stablizer, a non-stimulent ahdh medication, and a stimulant adhd med. YES i am aware my 3 psychiatrists through 5 months of rehab over prescribed the shit out of me. but hey they just wanted to make me better right? WELL AFTER ALL THIS MEDICATION GUESS WHAT?! yup.. your damn right i still undergo psychosis while using marijuana. JUST SHARING MY EXPERIENCE, STRENGTH AND HOPE.. a little of my truth. just do some research if you have any reason to believe marijuana OR ANY OTHER DRUG could possibly be assisting the development of a mental disorder or if it enhances psychotic symptoms in you
... and people.... "psychotic", "mental disorders" doesnt mean CRAZY/INSANE... it means that someone has to deal with real symptoms from within their mind. and many people deal with these particular disorders. Don't dismiss my words because im young and i have foul language. I have enough strength to try and help people by sharing my experience and knowledge. Please share this to someone that might be struggling with the same problem. We can support/help each other, you just gotta be willing to do it
