scared that my brain is damaged from maryj

i've known plenty of people who smoked daily since 13-14 and my self from 18-26, no real difference between us. No brain damage from either group either. What you describe is what i typically see when i see clouds anyway, there's sunlight going through them and seeing bits of that as spots seems perfectly normal.

the evidence of a link between schizophrenia and cannabis use at younger ages is incredibly weak and should be scrutinized severely before people throw it around.

I don't see how it can possibly damage your body at that age, if you were a medicinal smoker and needed cannabis at 14, what's the fucking difference? if there is a difference show a legit study with a huge sample size that actually proves this damage to occur. AKAIK there is no evidence (concrete) that it is at all damaging to your body (just causal links which are BS). Psychologically, well if you don't like the way it makes you feel then don't smoke it but you aren't causing yourself brain damage.

If that were the case then a large percentage of stoners would be brain damaged by now and we'd know it. That isn't the case. I'd be willing to bet you are perfectly fine and just over thinking things. Cannabis may not be harmful physically but psychologically it can stir some shit up and that'd be my only concern. So if you don't like the effects, don't smoke it, whether it's kush or not doesn't really matter (unless kush gives you more anxiety than mids, which is possible).

I'd be willing to bet my life on the idea that you will not be damaged physically in any way if you are getting high every single day as a teenager. up and down regulation of cannabis receptors i don't think is a big deal and cannabis isn't strong enough to affect the whole system like a synthetic cannabinoid can.

to answer OP's question, no your brain is not damaged.

^how are you forgetful for a few days? did that stereotypical image of a stoner really seep into you or something? I've completed a fair amount of academic tasks incredibly well and efficiently while stoned, things that greatly required the use of my memory.
 
Stop smoking until you're at an older age, and seek medical help if you feel you need to. Smoking at an age like that is a very risky behavior that can bring out underlying mental disorders, cause lung cancer, cause addiction, and even kill you.

This may be just me, but I'm 19, and when I smoke once I feel slightly forgetful for a few days, even if I really don't smoke much. I can't imagine what this must be doing to you. ._.

I have to correct you, although it def is not healthy for someone that young to get high for many of the reasons you mentioned, being 14 does not put you at any more risk for cancer than someone who is 20. Nor will it kill you.

It won't cause any more bodily harm to someone his age than any other age, it's his brain that is at risk
 
I think your fine buddy. I'm no doctor, but sounds like weed paranoia to me. I had similar visuals.. the sky would almost look "fuzzy" to me because of the weird tracers floating around (not the normal eye tracers everyone has). I was also doing a copious amount of other drugs..

Well anyways, I cut back on all of my drug use (including weed) and voila! Back to normal
 
thankyou guys for all of these answers! really! right now, i still see the same visuals. i am currently sober for like 1 week and 3 days and will be a lot longer. remember.. i see these "visuals" when im not high. it is really hard to explain what they look like, i will be talking to someone(outside) and i will see a bright little thing come up. i try not to look at the sky when im walking home because it scares the shit out of me. i can tell you one thing.. i am not being paranoid at all. this is really happening.. these visuals. you may be right about the sun or whatever but these strings of colors come out of the clouds. when i was walking home today i looked up and there were no clouds but i still looked up for a few seconds and it looks like a "V" shape was slowly falling. and those clicks i was talking about, they were right in the back of my head not my neck. it only clicked when i was thinking about shit and worrying a lot so you might be on to something there. but yea i still see the same things and seems like it may be getting a little bit worse. sometimes when i'm inside i might notice something on the wall that is not there and stuff like that too. nothing has really changed for a week and 3 days and there is definitely something going on. i am done smoking for a long ass time
 
Honestly dude, your smoking way to young. I first started smoking when i was 13/14 and now im 17 and havent touched weed in 2 months but i still believe i have permanent damage because of it. First thing i would do is stop smoking for a while and see if all these effects you are having go away, if they dont then i would really consider talking to a professional because it could become extremely serious, I have a friend who smoked for 2 or 3 months and now he has some form of epilepsy (not to sure what it is exactly called) and now he is always carrying round epi pens in case he has a fit, he cant go clubbing etc because the flashing lights; it extremely sad. Look after yourself bro
 
I don't mean to sound stupid or anything, but maybe that black dot is the sun and the lines you are seeing are it's rays? I've never heard of people hallucinating different objects after smoking cannabis.

I think you would know, of course, I'm not you.
 
thanks for ur reply, but this type of thing has never happened since about 2 weeks ago. these are kind of the effects of lsd but i've never took lsd and im not high.. like if you take lsd you will see stuff as different colors im pretty sure
 
You are a bit too young to be smoking so much. Stop and see how you feel a couple of months from now. If you are still having problems after not smoking for a while, you might have an separate issue worth seeing a psychiatrist for.

The weed you've been smoking is probably just laced.
Yup. Nothing you can do about it now besides tell a doctor.

*sigh* Kringeify I hope you are smart enough to not listen to this greenlighter's suggestion that the weed was laced. It is so extremely uncommon for weed to be laced in america, on occation you see weed that has had water sprayed on it to make it seem heavier or if you have brick weed it sometimes has residue of the stuff people spray on bricks to cover up the smell of weed. Dealers dont lace weed because it is not profitable to do so and not nearly as easy to egt away with as it was in the 70's and 80's. The public is way way WAY more educated about the effects of weed and what weed looks like. It costs too much to add a drug to green when green is so much stronger than it used to be already.

There are a list of reasons why you dont see laced weed anymore....

Well, I would lace weed if it was profitable to sell at all. So I know that there are other people who did the same thing.
 
My point is that is isnt profitable to lace weed with other street drugs. As a dealer you would spend more on the other drugs you would need to lace your weed than on the weed itself. And the moment a dealer sells weed that is laced and a customer finds out he can kiss all his customers goodbye. There is too much competition and too many expects out there these days.
 
it could just be a mild form of psychosis brought on by the pot use. I first smoked pot when i was 16 and the second or third time i smoked it i got some weird flashes of light almost like lightning bolts flashing across my eyes. I've never had them since. I'm 34 now and i've been smoking pot regularly for 13 years, i take take breaks every few months to lower my tolerance. Since you're already off the pot, just give it time and see if it goes away. Keep in mind if you get stressed out, it could make the symptoms worse. I get mild psychosis (i was diagnosed with bipolar - runs in the family, and the signs were there before i started smoking pot) sometimes, but it's just the occasional whisper in my head which is easily ignored and causes me no anxiety at all. From what i've read the brain is in its development stage until your mid 20's, so i wouldn't recommend becoming a chronic user until at least then. Also if you're going to smoke pot, study, read books, learn as many things as your can and your brain will still develop. Sit on your ass a just veg out, and your brain will deteriorate.

I'm also a firm believer of neurogenesis - the brains ability to repair itself. People also self medicate with pot. Ask yourself why you smoked so much to begin with - boredom, helps you relax etc, and try to find other ways around it.

I don't recommend talking to doctors either at this stage, they'll most likely want to put you on some anti-psychotic medication which will just zonk you out, and not in a good way. If you have any dormant mental health issues, recreation drugs, and even some prescription drugs will bring them out to the surface. As long as your aware of what those issues are, and how they affect you, they're can be managed without the need for any medication.

Keep in mind that you're only 14 and for the next 5 years or so your hormones alone can wreck havoc on your mental health.

I wouldn't lace it with a street drug. I'd buy a couple grams of am-2201 and spray the shit out of it.

Jesus Christ, I hate people like you and wish with all my heart that you endure some kind of suffering throughout the course of your life, and hopefully for the entire course of your life. You're a piece of shit and that also applies to the people that you mention in your post that share a similar mentality to yourself.
 
Well... honestly, i am thinking about talking to my mom about an mri. i still see that shit. it was like a month and a couple weeks that id quit and it never went away. i finally said fuck it and smoked about . 6 with my friend. i got stoned.. honestly it hurt to be that high... and i couldnt kay down because my heart would start to hurt and was beating really fast because i had a bunch of coke (the drink) which has a lot of caffeine. during my peak my muscles around my body kept flexing and twitching so i think i had a seizure. i am fucking done waiting to find out if this will go away by itself because i know it wont. i am sure that i got really high one time... all of the pressure from the blood and thc was in the back of my head, and it may have damaged some brain tissue. i am going to talk about an mri scan soon to my mom, hopefully it isnt too exspensive and we have health insurance. any other ideas or other things that you want to say or know about? please share with me . thanks
 
I dont know whats wrong yet so i dont give a fuck. and i didnt say it was a good idea
