New here. Had drug induced psychosis... and

[Lepripri]

Hey guys new here. Quick story... Been smoking weed since i was 13 now mid 20s.. anyways there was a point i got into synthetic marijuana and after going hard on it, got into psychosis. Hearing voices, seeing people and more. Anyways after being in the hospital for a bit and not smoking anything for a year, decided to smoke weed again. And after 3-4 months of smoking a lot(sativa mainly) it hit me again. Got manic but didnt see things( i believe)but i beleive heard voices(was in the hospital for 3 weeks this time taking anti psychotic meds again). Anyways really want to smoke weed again and stick with indica? Not sure if that would take me back to psychosis.. but the 2nd time it happened, it was a lil process, no sleep , and couple more things and when it happend, felt like truman show x total recall feel. So any suggestions to see if indica would be ok? Main reason i used it is to produce music. When smoking it would take me a day to make a electronic track and now im terrible haha

Honestly that would be a question for your doctor, everyone is different and everything effects the user different. I would suggest finding something else, little bit of weed isnt worth the risk...

Even your doctor will not be able to give you a definite answer - your playing with fire to be honest. What is more important to you, your mental health or the ability to make music?

With psychosis there can often be signs of it arrival, some people like to dance that line for as long as possible but not without being burned a few times in the process. What can often happen is these signs are missed and then the psychosis can hit even harder and take you longer to recover from. Is this worth it - that's only something you can answer for yourself.

The 'true man show' analogy is a good one but it's not always as benign as that and can be a living nightmare for you and those around you.
