Hi all,

Haven't been here for a long time.
I have a strange feeling last days. Like every action around is progressing without me, like I'm watching a movie without a soundtrack, or even dreaming... I just wanna say I can't feel my life, my reality as I was able some time ago.
I'm not smoking marijuana from about one month, because of that symptoms. Honestly, I'm a bit scared...
I don't fully feel reality, have less concentration, thinking a lot about things that have nothing to do with a normal life (mostly about how strange the world is, what we are doing here, etc.), have less feelings and emotions, sometimes even feel like everything around is moving but not changing it's position (paradox).
My friend who is also a marijuana smoker have similiar symptoms...
He read something about that kind of schizophrenia: most susceptible when 15-25 years old (correct), progressive and incurable. Looks pretty bad.
Only things that appear to help are: music, alcohol (actually not the best choice), reading ooks, playing games, watching tv, simply things that require some commit and let me forget that some time ago life was something else than now.
I have many doubts about all of that. Is it my psychic (some autosuggestion?) or my brain got a bit damaged? Is this progressive? Will it get worse? What if I totally stop smoking weed? Will it get better? Is there something I should worry about?

TIA
Regards

One more thing - in these days it is hard to get natural marijuana (only chemically strenghten is in sale). What they usually add to weed? Can it be something that can harm psychic or brain after few times (I wasn't smoking more than few times from the same source)?

No, you can't get schizophrenia from smoking weed. You could just be feeling down man, it happens to everyone. People feel depressed from time to time, it's no big deal. If you feel like this for a long time, then you might want to see a doctor. People seem to love diagnosing themselves with depression, instead of realizing that people aren't supposed to be happy 24/7.

Also, it seems you are very worried. That will have an effect on your mood as well, and make your feelings amplified.

Just take it easy and don't worry about the whole schizophrenia/MJ thing, because there is no proof behind that.

And BTW, most MJ you get is not laced. Lacing it costs money, and people usually want to have the most profit as possible, so selling straight schwag would be easier.

Thanks for the answer Bongzilla.
I've been feeling down and worried couple of times, but I think it's something different now. World is like behind a glass, never experienced that before. Maybe it's my progressive short-sightness?

I'm waiting for more opinions.

About laced (laced=chemically strenghten?) marijuana: what you say looks logical, but everybody I know, smoking for years or since yesterday says that there's actually no way of getting natural marijuana. I'm from Poland, maybe situation is different in other countries, or maybe somebody just devised such stupid name (translating literally - "chemistry") for a stronger kinds of weed?

Marijuana the sole cause of schizopherenia? No. I do believe that a person that smokes lots of pot and has with underlying mental conditions...and would eventualy develop schizopherenia...it could possibly "bring it out"....but i ain't no scienteest and I don't have any "credentials"...so what I said may not be valid

Pot doesn't cause schizophrenia.

It can do a number on people with underlying or emerging mental illness. It can hasten the onset of "breaks" or "decompensation". So can drinking and changing the amount of cigarettes one smokes...the liver gets in on the action too.


Psychosis is a by-product of chemical problems in the brain most usually. Sometimes it can be "produced" by serious trauma/natural disaster....that doesnt really count.


People with a family history of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder are the biggest group I would imagine to be at risk, since those are apparently genetically-transmitted problems.


anxiety trips are somewhat common for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that we were raised being told we'd go insane and burn in hell if we smoked pot.... They can be very uncomfortable.

chemsicals in the weed??!

What kind of chem are being used? do you mean like fertalizer?

Its also been about a month? I would highly recommend to see a doctor. By law the will keep patient confidentiality(spelling?) . Its very possible a non-mj related ailment may be in effect... Even if its not to bad for you please please get a check up.. you know just in case.... Tell em everything... Docs are really great ppl and they will understand...

You know, when I thought about visiting a doctor I immediatelly felt better
Seriously - I'll be watching myself and trying to not think about that, just live my life. If the situation get worse, I'll go to a doctor. About confidentiality - I'm not 18, so I think he can tell everything to my parents. If so, it would be really bad.
The one thing that angers me is that I don't know how my life would look like, if I wasn't smoking a pot. But I guess, I'll never find out...

Bout those chemicals - dunnow what is fertalizer, but I heard about PCP. Also I remembered that 1g of most popular chemically strenghten weed costs 30PLN (about 7,5USD) and 1g of natural weed costs about 10PLN (2,5USD). Nobody exactly knows what is added to that first ****, but like I said it's the only one in sale.

If it has be prgressing like this for a month, go see a psych doctor.......the whole therapy builds on trust and most psych doctors will not tell your parents about your MJuse unless they feel it is threatening your life.......otherwise they keep doctor-patient confidentiality....

the other day i think i had some symptons of schizophrenia while high. we were walking around my neighborhood blasted out of our minds and i was hearing weird voices. i dont remember what they were saying, but i remember hearing something. now that i look back at it, i smoked way too much and it was sortove a bad high. i didnt worry about the voices that much because i think it was my friend messing with me. at least i hope it was him.
