Hey, i'm an occassional pot smoker, like
once every month or 2, have been for about
a year or 2. About a month ago, several
days, maybe a week after smoking, I
started to basically 'trip out'. By this
I mean I had trouble concentrating, kind
of like being high without the euphoria,
only the weirdness of thoughts +
paranoia.
Today, I suddently had the same thing come
upon me, and i'm afraid I might have
schitz. Or something else. I'm hoping
this goes away like it did last time, but
i'm definately staying off the pot from
now on. Also, the last few nights i've
had a small nightcap b4 bed, that wouldn't
have anything to do with the strange state
of mind i'm in now?
Please respond urgently i'm panicy.
Thanks

Hello, I experienced something similar,
and still kinda do.
First off, don't accept this as the "new
you", don't accept it ruining your life.
Fight it with all you got, try medidation,
diverse your mind from it...
Think like this: everytime you think about
it, you feed it, you gotta starve it, so
pay it no attention what so ever, just
forget it.
I know this seems impossible, I was in the
dp/dr state constantly for 2months in a
row, then I started diversing and it
helped, a lot.
So basically me being in this forum is
like asking for it, so i'll leave now
cause I feel it slightly coming back...
So just diverse it.
If you have panic attacks, when they come,
fight it with all your powers, learn that
your the one controlling it, then the next
time you feel f'ed-up, start counting
backwards from 100 - 0, or do math in your
thoughts, just to keep your thinking
busy.
Don't let it crush you =]

Hey there
pot is a drug like any other and with it
come different side effects for different
folks, I would talk to your doc about it,
I know admitting to the doc that you are
an occasional pot smoker would be a little
embarrassing but those are not normal
symptoms from pot. I think staying off it
might be a better thing for you and
amiskitzo made a few really good
suggestions
