What are the symptoms you get when smoking pot?

Post Reply New Topic

I've always wondered - curiousity killed the cat I guess. I would try it if it wasn illegal...out of all the drugs, I don't think it's the worse one.

Weed is actually isn't as bad as Ciggerattes. You hear more people die from ciggerettes than weed. It can be very benifical to people in much pain, such as my father when he was alive.

I don't remember many sympthoms but the ones I am most aware of is loss of early memory and issuionment.

My ex did it as well at one point. He couldn't remember much of anything unless you bangged it into his head.

btw I <3 your icon xD

I've only smoked pot once or twice when I was 16 and I didn't notice any symptoms. I didn't smoke enough to get high, at least I dont think I did.

I was also wondering if the anxiety symptom was more common in Aspies or not.

I thought it was an instant reaction, once you took a puff? I guess I was wrong, or you were so stoned that you didn't know you were stoned

I could have been. I was pretty hungry afterwards.

Oh, did I make you high?

The most positive part is the euphoria, just feeling good all over. If I'm feeling sick or aching, or if I'm depressed, weed cures it in seconds. That's my experience, anyway. I also find that things seem to taste and smell better (though I don't seem to get the "munchies" like a lot of people do), and music can sound better too. Things can become funnier, but also more confusing... for example, I'd have no hope of having a productive study session while high. Information processing and short term memory seem to be hindered. One of my least favorite things about it is definitely that I will tend to feel paranoid and anxious if I get high in an unfamiliar or uncomfortable setting, always imagining that someone will know I'm high and call the police or something. Worrying about some stupid stuff. But that's not an issue if I just get high in a good setting like my room. Symptoms continue for an hour or two until I "come down," at which point I feel sleepy and wiped out.

As you can see, my experience with weed has not been entirely positive. I think it's mainly the euphoria that keeps me coming back. I haven't smoked it in almost a month and I might be getting some more soon. I've thought about quitting, for some fairly obvious reasons, but I'm still doubtful that it's doing me any real harm. My memory seems to be in pretty fair condition, and I know for a fact that it hasn't lowered my IQ or caused any respiratory problems for me. (For what it's worth, there's no proof that marijuana has ever killed anyone. There was a very large study recently conducted by the American Medical Association that showed no significantly higher rates of cancer or chronic lung disease in even long-term marijuana smokers.)

Of course, you'll meet some dumb stoners in your life. But really, how do you know they weren't like that before, or that it was weed and not some other drug or activity that made them like that?

My two cents, anyway. I would not recommend marijuana to anyone, but at the same time I would not advise you against trying it if you feel curious. Just study up on it and be responsible, know what you're getting into. Hope this helps.

^ That's why I stopped when I did. I saw what it did to my friends (at the time) and I valued my intelligence too much. The damage becomes permanent after a while. I've always said that if people don't want their brain cells, then they should give them to me.

Pot is bad for you unless its medical type but I won't do it because teens use when they are depressed and may do more damage than needed already.

I know...why can't there be a drug that only has good traits? (Too impossible to even dream...)
