I'm a very experienced weed smoker and have smoked on average 4-5 times a day, everyday for the last three years. I enjoyed using it for every situation possible; in the morning, before meals, before class, bedtime ect. There was not a time when I did not perfer to be high. I did not, and still do believe it affected me in any negative way. This was up until a 4-5 months ago when I started getting a lot of negative effects.
First off a lot of the stereotypical negative effects of weed set in. I became lazier, less motivated, less social, less spontaneous. I also experienced a lot of social anxiety. Especially when smoking around people that wasn't a good friend of mine.
But I also got some not so common, more severe, negative effects. I would get some aching in my muscles, mainly my jaw (a friend of mine would get it in his neck/shoulders). My eyes would become very hard to focus. Get this weird face high where my face feels like a different shape.
The two main things that steered me away from weed the most though was it made me VERY self conscience. I always thought people were thinking negative things of me. I would think that even my best friends would be talking down on me whenever i wasn't in the room. The other thing was i would get muscles "jolts" in my legs mainly. I still get minor ones ocasionally but when i would smoke a would get them consistently. I feel these waves of body high going through my body and legs and its makes the jolt build up until it finally releases. I would describe it as being a kind of physical version of turrets syndrome.
A little after noticing all these things I quit completly with no problem for about a month. Since then I've smoked every once and awhile but only when doing something physical (snowboarding, longboarding) or before bed.
I still don't think badly of weed at all just have decided it isn't really for me anymore. I was wondering if any of you out there have experienced any of the same things. Thanks for reading.
