What are the symptoms you get when smoking pot?

Post Reply New Topic

I consider video games a drug but thanks to college, I was "cured" of my addiction.

I tried it. Was bored, and my sister hung around a bunch of potheads. And all I wondered was why these kids felt the need to possibly get arrested, get shot at, and waste money on.

So, I tried it. BAD IDEA!! ! Turns out I'm allergic to the stuff. It's almost like an athsma reaction with me, I could barely breathe and was coming in and out of conciousness. Of course, everyone else was high as a kite too, so I was lucky it wasn't worse. And with me the major problems lasted nearly a day, and then the after effects were nearly 4 days. Afterwards, I felt very... fuzzy... like my head was wrapped in cotton. And everything felt like deja vu.

So I really didn't like it. I see plenty of people have fun with it though. It's not addictive, and other than random cases like me where people are allergic to it, it's pretty well harmless too. It's the stupid stuff people do WHILE high thats what makes it any sort of problem, and I honestly think people are worse on alcohol.

This thread is killing me. I have been without pot for a week, that's the longest time in years! It really helps me alot. I have a great job, and it has never affected my abilities, I make more money (legally) than all of my friends combined, so I guess I can afford it. I've been smoking since college, some 15 years ago, every day. Some things I noticed while reading this: Medical marijuana of the kind sold officially is usually crap. Good weed doesn't have seeds, and much less is required for the same effect, meaning that it's not as bad for your lungs. I have never been arrested, beat up, shot, or anything like that. Among the pot subculture, there is no stress like that associated with hard drugs. When I first started, sometimes it made me dizzy, or I got the spins if I closed my eyes, but not anymore. If it shortens my life, it was still worth it, but I doubt it will.

The obvious ones like:
1)Euphoria
2)Cottonmouth
3)Munchies
4)Tired
5)After a few years of smoking pot/hashish I started getting very inhibited and uncomfortable in public, this caused me to quit. It was a long time after this that I heard of Aspergers and I only just now put this discomfort in context with being on the spectrum. My own experiences with Alcohol and other drugs were not positive.

I'm loaded right now, and I cannot find the words to accurately describe the buzz. I guess you could call the feeling "Delightfully attached", with cottonmouth. It's been awhile, and it feels pretty good to escape.

Its ok, but stay away from some of the BC hydro, very strong stuff, I prefer mild head buzz to the full out body stone that for me is to much to handle, sometimes getting stoned if your feeling uptight can make you feel very paranoid, which really sucks. Try smoking up with some cool tunes and people who just want to chill out and relax, its great if your out camping, sitting around a bonfire.

I've found in the past that not while smoking, but during the week after, I get really stupid. I mostly discovered this through playing chess and go... I'd make silly mistakes reacting to moves that I'd normally be able to understand and counter easily. This in turn made me depressed, because I highly value my intelligence, such that it is (never had an iq test) and was eventually the reason why I stopped using it altogether.
