i started smoking almost exactly a year ago. when i first started, i would get intense euphoria- mainly in music sounding amazing. i smoked every day but only right before bed... because i had bad anxiety problems. i smoked only at night (only once a day) for about the first 7 months. this summer i kind of lost control. smoked about 4-10 bowls a day, stayed high all day. im back down to a bowl during the day, two at night.

i have noticed a lot of changes in myself and i want to know which of them are directly related to my excessive smoking. i would also like to mention im 17 so a lot of these things could be from just being on the tail end of puberty or whatever. help me sort these out please.

1. Anxiety is less frequent but less predictable, i will sometimes literrally have a panic attack about nothing, not frequently though.

2. i sometimes wake up extremely depressed and not even a few hits will cheer me up. usually goes away on its own a few hours later

3. my libido is screwed up- i'm more about emotions than physical stuff now. being a guy im still more into physical stuff, but for some reason lately i feel like i have more feelings or love for my SO

4. ive always had ADD but i have noticed its gotten way out of hand recently, for example: i will space out if my parents talk for more than 5 seconds, not on purpose. in school i can barely ever zone in... its always been a problem but more lately

5. Some days im way to jacked up on energy or testosterone or something. i want to fuck the girl all night or ill go to the gym and lift lift lift and it feels like i still have lots of energy.

6. i started using opiates (pain pills) before i started smoking. since i started smoking, i actually enjoy them more. but at the same time if i do one line of oxy (dont tell me snorting is bad, i know.) no matter how hard i try i cant resist doing like 4 more. before i was more in control over this

7. Im way more nostalgic. hearing a song that i was really into a year ago will make me feel exactly like i did then. i actually feel happier if it was a good time in my life after hearing the song. its really extreme and kinda wierd

thanks for getting through the long read. answers appreciated.
 
Same as me man. Exactly the same . U 17 by any chance ? Lol


Yeah started smoking last year . I get the exact same syptoms . The way to cue is only smoke once every 2 weeks if u can or if u can't do that keep it to once every week.

You will start noticing an improvement over time - not instantly
 
It's possible that all of that is from smoking all the time. Just take like a week off from blazin, and then start smoking every other day or so, not every day and you will be fine
 
the only stuff out of all that i really care about is the morning depression. that is just really really harsh. but other than that it doesnt really matter. about 5 months ago i took about a 1 month break and didnt really notice a change in my personality or any of that stuff really. so im also wondering if its permanent... or just very long term.
 
yea i have never had this problem from weed. im 18 and have been smoking heavy for about 2 and half years. i would slow it down or stop for a lil bit. Just to see how you feel. Then i guess you be the judge on whether to continue or stop
 
yeh dude im 17 aswell. i get the random short lasting panic attacks you mentioned.
When ever they happen i just laugh about it and it all goes away but hell do i get a fright from time to time.
Just gota hold ya head up and laugh about it i reckon.
I also sometimes get scared and bad feelings blazing but only when im in a weird unknown place or with people i dont know very well.
If im at mine and no one except me and my mates are here i could blaze heaaaps and never be scared or anything, last time i done it at my mates when his olds were ages away i felt so amazing.
I also find listening to Bob Marley etc and just being safe and with goodc*nts makes everything that more enjoyable,
youll be sweet bruv.
Enjoy the herb, dont let that shit hold you back.
Just keep yo head up and remember, weed makes you feel goooooooood :)
 
I only smoke on weekends now. its awesome. my cognitive abilities are still strong and i get blown from mids every fri-sun. :)
 
oh to be 17 and smoking weed...

maybe you all should wait to smoke until you're old enough to use it responsibly...u need time for your brain to develop...ha

but gun to my head, i'd say it isn't the weed. it's a subtle drug. just chill out
 
I doubt youre bipolar or anything like that. I think its from the combination of the drugs and addiction. Long term use of opiates and weed both cause depression, i wouldnt be suprised if you spells of depression from this. Not too bad but i think they will only get worse.

Weed also decreases libido for some, i never found this but i know after a long time on oc i lost interest in sex. Id still have it but it wasnt really fun anymore, espically if i was feeling depressed. Which happened alot towards the end up my opiate use. So much bad shit happened in about a month.

I think the increased opiate use is just because youve been doin them longer. Addiction grows and there no way around it. Some people say they keep it to one a month for the last 10 years. Never met someone like that in real life.

Do you take medication for your add? i read once that people with add love to smoke weed because it calms their mind down. Maybe your mind just feels more jumbled when your sober because its calmer when youre high? Making your ADD worse.

Hope this helped

edit - this was after 5 years of smoking weed, 2 years of opiates. Lots of everything else.

i would def have to say that all of those symptoms are things that most people go through and possibly you are just thinking all of it is happening because of the buds, but most of it is probably in your head. Obviously i could be wrong but from my experiences (4 years of blazin and other shit) you shouldn't worry too much. if you are still skeptical just take a break until you feel like you think you did before you started smoking.
 
lots of good responses. thanks people.

and btw i'm not addicted to opiates or anything. i usually only get them once every few months so they have very little effect overall.
 
i was like this too. but i would go to bed depressed too. i smoked about 7-8 times a day, where a big blunt would only have me high for about 30 minutes, so id just smoke all day and not give a shit about anything. year later and i only smoke maybe twice a month at most, if even that. it is better but i mean i still get depressed and reclusive, i want to kick it.

try taking a break for more than a month if that didnt help you the first time you did it. try 3 months IF you can
