There are these two side effects I've experienced that have confused me for years.
I've smoked weed from the age of 14 until about two weeks ago. I recently quit weed because of a really uncomfortable physical sensation from weed that slowly got worse over the years.
For the first few years of smoking weed I never had this weird uncomfortable physical sensation. Those really were the good days; I genuinely wish I could still enjoy weed. Nowadays the physical pain and discomfort I get from smoking makes it completely not worth it anymore to smoke any amount of weed at all. It's that bad.
Basically, I'd describe the physical discomfort like this:
It feels like the back side of my brain is being squished, almost like if someone was squeezing my brain with their hands. I've only ever felt this feeling due to smoking weed; nothing else has ever caused this sensation.
Sometimes if I smoked a lot I would also get a sensation on my nasal bone at the same time as the feeling in the back of my brain. It basically feels like someone is pushing their finger against my nasal bone, with the strength of a toddler.
Very rarely I would also get a physical sensation in the front of my brain, too. The most common effect was always the pain in the back of my brain, though.
Sometimes while experiencing the pain in the back of my brain I would occasionally get these really weird involuntary head movements.
Additionally, the pain in the back of my brain would always make it feel very uncomfortable to have my head turned for a prolonged period of time.
That's pretty much all I have to share as far as weed.
I've only done meth a handful of times in my life.
My first time with meth I snorted it. The next day, I woke up with a really uncomfortable pain in my tongue that made it really painful to swallow anything. This pain lasted for about half a week.
I know for a fact that I wasn't biting or picking at my tongue at all. I tried looking at google images to see what type of condition looked like what I had but none of them really resembled what I had. Mine were little mountain-shaped bumps with pointy white tips all over my tongue. Each one was about the size of a grain of rice. I didn't get them anywhere except my tongue.
What I noticed is that if I put some water in my mouth and kept it there for a while the pain would somewhat go away very quickly until I either swallowed the water or spat it out.
The next time I tried meth I smoked it, and I still got the exact same pain in my tongue and it lasted the same amount of time. So no matter whether I smoked it or snorted it I would always get this pain in my tongue.
One time I tried squeezing one of the little mountain-shaped bumps to see if it hurt, and yes it hurt. They were definitely the most sensitive spots on my tongue and they were probably the source of the overall tongue pain that would always last a few days. If I remember correctly, the pain went away completely at about the same time that the bumps disappeared, about three days after using the meth. If I remember correctly, the pain would only ever begin the day after smoking/snorting, never the day of smoking/snorting.
I'm fairly certain that weed and meth are the only substances I've ever had physically uncomfortable side effects from. I've done ecstasy and had zero problems. Same goes for cocaine.
The meth thing might not really be all that uncommon but I do really want to know what exactly was happening to my tongue. I don't think it was ulcers but I could be wrong.
I'm very curious as to whether anyone else has experienced the physical pain in the back of the brain that I described earlier from smoking weed.
