Dude I had this same experience after my third time taking acid. I was with my close friends and we kept sharing our views on life. After that night I saw everything so differently and it made me so paranoid. I went to counseling, but I had the feeling that they didn't understand me at all. I kept thinking to myself that I learned things about life that I shouldn't have. I wanted to go back to my ignorant ways, before I took acid. But I decided to stop running from what I learned and embraced it. It's taken me about a year to become comfortable with the changes. All I can recommend is to relax. Another thing, speak your mind to your friends. For me, shutting myself up form the world around me made my situation even worse.
you don't need me to link you to a google search of the relevant terms, which provide you with an arbitrary amount of sources http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=marijuana+mental+health&btnG=Google+Search&meta= http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=long+term+lsd+use&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
Thanks, ive pretty much stopped smoking pot now ( i rip my vap about 1 or two times a week) and the anxiety stopped, but something is still different. I dunno, you guys are probably right, just lay off the dope for awhile.
Alright fine, I'm simply calling bullshit on the statement above... There are no conclusive study's. You would make a crappy spokesman for NORML...Or mabey you really don't want pot to be legalised... ZW eace:
haha man he just says what can be the truth sometimes.. ive seen plenty of friends get paranoid and go nowhere because they got like that when stoned, and they were always stoned, and plenty of people who smoked just as much and are perfectly happy with their lives, outgoing, still having fun without a worry, and not everyone can handle cid either, but for most its an enlightening journey, but its not something you need to do every day. He said "thc causes some people...", and yes, ive seen 'some people' get too heavily into buds (including me) and becoming less stable-minded and happy. i fucking love buds but even the weed isnt for everyone, you dont need sources for that. i feel good as fuck when i havent smoked bongs for a week, and amazing after a month, and i wish i didnt smoke every day, but that's my fault for smoking too often, and weed is still by far the easiest plant to believe was put there to get high from, a blessing, but with every blessing its still better in moderation i think, at least for me
true that^^^^ i too get weird effects from weed sometimes. i think it's more to do with having no tolerance, compared to before when i smoked 6x a day. now i get a little too high sometimes. after my first couple of trips, weed was a lot more psychedelic. but that has faded. my advice is to lay off on the pot and acid for awhile. get a grip son! *slaps in the face* get ahold of yourself! just kidding
Well first off Id like to say hello to this fine community. Ive read a few posts here and there over the years, but never realized what a cool place this is, until I registered last night. Anyways Id just like to say that I can relate to the OP and everyone else who has experienced anxiety or flashback type effects from marijuana after heavy, or consistent psychedelic use. I've been a heavy psychedelic user for about 4 or 5 years now. I guess you could say I've over done it a bit. I've tripped upwards of 120 by my current age of 19. I have had social and regular types of anxiety since I was like 15 now. I noticed that as somebody else says that its most pronounced when I have no tolerance and smoke and get hella high. I just wanted to suggest that you guys try taking 5-htp. The shit is great for this type of stuff. After a week I feel great! Its definately worth a try for anxiety. At the
I'd say take peoples advice when they tell you to refrain. I've been in your situation and still kinda am. Anxiety issues weren't a problem until I got into the acid and weed combo, and then the smoking weed habitually thing afterwards. I quit weed but I still get a lingering anxiety that never quite goes away. If I could go back I'd probably woulda kept the weed on a weekly or longer thing, it's easy to lose yourself when your under a heavy and confused impression from that kinda shit too often.
And what if I didn't? Would that make me a bad person? No, but I want it legalized fyi. I just want better education given to kids. Rather than the 'gateway drug' bs and the FDA lies, I want the real hard psychological and medical facts, which unfortunately, are not all on the side of the hippies and stoners, but actually right smack in the middle of the FDA bullshit about killer weed and the hippy bullshit about harmless weed. Cannabis, like every single other substance in the world, has positive and negative consequences of use.
