Finished a great day out with the kids and my wife who I am separated from. Spent the day at a funfair and was good fun. Felt chilled and ready for a smoke.

I have suffered with bipolar, OCD and borderline for about 5 years now. Nothing could prepare me for what would happen that evening though.

Sat down in the dining room at my parents house and took 3 hits of some good weed I had procured. All OK so far.

Walk up to my bedroom and look in the mirror. My face morphs into my grandad's face. Grandad is dead now and he killed my gran when I was 16. I totally freak. I go and talk to my dad to try and take my mind of things but my mum comes up to the room and starts talking and I get this overwhelming feeling that my grandad has possesed me and wanted me to kill my mum...

I run out of the house with no shoes on and get in the new car (one of two that I had bought in a week, due to me being manic) and drove off to calm down.

Switched the CD player on and listened to some Metallica. Bad move. "Sad But True" came on and the lyrics hit home. I thought I was going crazy. I drive into the city and park the car on the pavement! I then start walking towards the central police station stripping off all my clothes on the way. I end up outside the police station wearing just my boxer shorts and I walk in.

The officer behind the counter looked at me kinda funny lol and I ask to see CID. A couple of officers come out and look at me with smiles which made me flip out. It took five officers to restrain me. I told them I had taken 11 ecstasy tabs and started writhing on the floor.

They drive me in a police van to hospital, where I finally calm down. It is now 1am in the morning and the police have contacted my parents who then come and pick me up and I go home. The next day I was sectioned and spent the next three months in hospital.

After this I came to the conclusion that I shouldn't smoke dope any more.
 
wow. if thats not a sign that weed is not for you, i dont know what is. stick to your meds and find something else to get fucked up on. weed is not for everyone.
 
i'm also bi-polar and it took me 3 years of wake and bake (having it on me all of the time) to realize thc is definitely not my thing. i do go for any benzo man. any.
 
Hi no problems. I thought I had though?
The correct format is:

SUBSTANCE (Dose - Optional) - Experience - "Title"


Such as these:

Salvia Divinorum (5x extract) - First Time - Accepting Reality
4-AcO-MiPT (20mgs) - Semi Experienced - An Appearance of God
you did for the most part Just use dashes. thanks! it just helps people search

Sweet Jesus in Heaven, man! I am OCD as well, found that opiates helped wonderfully (for about 6 months until I had to quit and went through the worst w/d's of my life). I smoke bud regularly, and I have had some nights where it felt like I smoked dusted shit, but never to the extent you've mentioned. Are you an experienced user? If you are, it sounds like maybe there was something else present unbeknownst to you.

I'd def lay off it until you get your bearings back. Try some xanax or klonopin to ease your troubled heart my friend, or better yet take up boxing or some other combatant sport. That did wonders for me during adolescence, when I wanted this whole world to burn. OCD absolutely sucks, and I'm sorry you're dealing with it too.

Peace be with you, friend. I hope there's not much fallout from your brush with the cops.
 
Yes I am experienced but I always get bad feelings when I smoke. I guess its a form of self harm?
 
weed is a brutal thought looper and paranoia inducer. i think it's taken too lightly by most people. and if it's a guaranteed good time for someone, i can only assume they have no conscience or higher order thought process.

i think the fact that it effects you so deeply is a positive sign! your sensitivity and self awareness afford insight and understanding that will likely help you to overcome your problems. just take it slow and respect the power of your mind. good luck!
 
^What you said about being taken too lightly is true. Kinda makes you wonder tho with such similarities to the other 'party' drug alchy. Good for getting fucked:)

Im a very thinking-orietated person, and all weed does is make me uncomfortable/paranoid arround people/friends. make me paranoid, and I get the worst ideas, thought makes no sence, everything is just dumbed down. kinda like goin from a shaman brain to a NHL player brain.

Thats why I avoid it. I dont mind gettin blittzed and playin videogames or just enhancing a psychedelic now and then.
