Asperger's and Marijuana

Post Reply New Topic

My natural state of thinking is pretty chaotic, I always have so many thoughts going on at once usually negative thoughts, so for me slowing that down is a good thing...because slowing that down allows me to think more clearly. Also some people do simply enjoy the effects, I personally sometimes take things because I like the effects and more or less want to be 'messed up' with those effects...but also I find some drugs seem to help with some issues I have so that's another reason I've used them. But yeah if you don't get positive effects from something I don't really recommend taking it.

You say you function a little better. Are you sure about that? I've had jobs where the majority of my coworkers were stoners. I can't think of even one example of one person who could function better when they were stoned. As a matter of fact most of them weren't really functioning at all. Many of them cool people but they irritated the hell out of me, because they weren't doing their jobs, if they even showed up for their shift.

It's hard for me to imagine why you would be any different then those people, I've know. In which case I have to wonder if cannabis is really helping you to deal with life, or if it just helping you avoid dealing with it.

Most of the people I know who use marijuana use it for legitimate medical reasons. I guess you're just hanging out with the wrong crowd.

Yeah I am pretty sure, usually I smoke a bit in the morning to get my day started it gets rid of the back pain I wake up with every morning and decreases my depression and anxiety symptoms so I can actually get up, take a shower maybe clean if things are messy and get on with whatever I have to do for the day. I feel more motivated when i have relief from all that which the cannabis provides. The only other thing I can imagine helping as much is opiates, I've done vicodin and it certainly helps with all of those things but I refuse to use anything like that on a regular basis because opium and the drugs that come from it are as addictive as cigarettes so regular use would turn into addiction....and that's probably not an issue I need right now.

And when it comes to work, its work...its not the place to sit around and not do the work....why should the employer pay me if I won't do the work or if I slack around on the job? That said I process things kind of slow so sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with fast paced work so that kind of limits my job options but if I'm working I like to get my work done and do a good job. Even if its just cleaning a friend of family members house.

This is your problem, right here, summed up nicely. The rest of the post was just bonus material.

This ^

However as soon as I get employed ill probably be getting tested so ill have to stop for a while (which I really don't want to since it helps with so many things). But, yeah...

First few times I smoked it, it never got me high. I was just thinking, this is s**t. Then when someone offered me some at school, I went home and rolled a joint when my parents weren't there. Then after a few minutes I started laughing and felt a buzz in me, I didn't realize I was high though until I lost my consciousness for a few seconds and then started getting some weird changes in perception of time, reality and personality. I was quite confused at first and had a bit of a freak out. Then I started hallucinating, sort of. I swear I was seeing skeletons sitting beside me, then disappear in smoke when I turned around to look at them. I basically lost all perception of time, if I turned around to look at a show when it started and turned back at it moments later it would be almost over. When I listened to music I ventured into a different reality. I felt acceptance, peacefulness and euphoria. I eventually relaxed and enjoyed the trip. My family was there and didn't even know that I was high, HAHA!

The 2 or 3 other times I tripped, all I felt was an electric shock going on constantly through my whole body and felt very warm. The last time I tripped (which was only a few days ago), it was a bit like the first time. Except whenever I went to a certain room or looked at a certain light, my perception of reality would change. My vision also seemed to get stretched, distorted and blurred. Also being at the computer felt like being in another dimension, and when I played a video game I thought I was the character. Also I was very, very hungry and couldn't stop laughing my ass off at everything.

Definitely! I won't smoke now that I'm pregnant and living in a state where it's illegal, but it most definitely helps as a medicine. Some strains help to think clearer, some make it worse lol but that's why it's a medicine, different strains have different effects. I love it and can't wait to move to a weed friendly state after my baby is born.

Isn't medical marijuana legal in California? I wish they'd made medical marijuana legal here in Australia, it actually helps me a lot with sleeping, serve anxiety/panic attacks and social skills.

I smoke recreationally.
I know my limits, when and where i can smoke in comfort. For example its not a good idea for me to smoke away from my home if i have to travel back while still high.

This one time, at band camp, i was waiting at a train station in 'the middle of nowhere'. Noone was around and it was a lovely summer day. A gentle wind carried duck and pheasant calls to my ear from the nearby marsh. Dandelion seeds poured in waves across the station, tickling the air. Sun beating down on my body, yet a chill still crackled through my body upon hearing over the station sound system..
"This is an emergency broadcast, please listen carefully"
Oh s**t. Oh s**t. Its happened. You see i had recently come out of a period of non stop gaming. Playing dead island day in day out with nothing else between but sleep. Weeks of nothing but body looting, blood gushing, zombie fleeing gaming. All i could think was "its finally happened".
My mind was in shock. I was in shock.
I sat frozen anticipating the next words. 'Stay inside. Lock all doors and windows'? 'Aim for the head'? oh god its happening. Oh god, get home, get brother and get in the f*****g loft.
Its hard to understand. Apocalyptic situations have always entertained me. I have always imagined what i would do, should i survive. should i survive. I realised at that time that the world had changed. All of my plans, all of the fun i'd had thinking about it, it was all bollocks. I am scared. And i will die if i dont move now. Its a strange feeling, you know. Having all of your preconceptions blown to s**t in little more than 5 seconds. Realising what it would really be like. The horrors that would be faced. The terror we would feel.
I zoned back in.
"This is an emergency broadcast, please listen carefully"
"Have you had an accident or injury at work recently that wasnt your fault?"

It took me days to recover.

I usually smoke it when I'm on my own, or with my friend ( or boyfriend I dont even know anymore) anyways, I chew it sometiems but I dont really like the texture. SOmeone mentioned something about smoking a joint in the morning, wtf? I cant do that, it makes me slow and clumsy.

the insightful moments when high are awesome. but i forget the ideas anyway, as my thoughts evolve uncontrollably after i smoked. even writing it down doesn't always help; I'd have to smoke one again in order to understand the abracadabras!

But my weed habits are gone and i went too far, way too far, too many times after realizing i've gone too fart. So i certainly was addicted. At some point i didn't know how i felt to be sober....

Got sucked into my own fantasy world waaayy too deep. I still don't make sense to myself sometimes, because back then i constructed such a strong universe within my weeded mind.
I turn into another person after smoking weed. At the worst points i didn't speak. I was flying on a carpet on the yellow planet over a ornamental landscape and i was master and king and god, yet slave, worker and a dwelling lost soul.

Remorseful i look back. all that is gone and it's hard to remember all those thousands of brain cells that have died, let their souls rest in peace. it was terror!

But hashish thats better because there's not so much mental stimuli, i'd rather calm down. I still smoke 4/5 times a year.

I've smoked weed only a couple of times in my life. The first time was at a party where I inhaled a bit too much and completely freaked out and had to lay down on someone's mattress for a couple of hours. It was horrible, everything scared the s**t out of me and in my head I was certain I was going to die. I kept feeling this intense flame in my throat then freaked out multiple times and finally had complete ego destruction. I think I either smoked too much my first time or there was something else in the blunt I shared with the people at the party.

The other time I smoked it it was at home and I started having spasms slightly but I was playing Persona 3 on the tartarus level and I recall the music sounding really pornographic to me and I started feeling horny, then I got hungry and ate a bunch of ramen and laughed like a hyena for 40 minutes. I think its kind of overrated personally, marijuana that is. I don't like the feeling of ego destruction and its weird how I get really horny or end up craving junk food.

Don't understand how people can drive or go to class while stoned, my sister would take me to school while she was stoned.

The last time I got high I kept envisioning Jesus (I'm not religious) and thinking "whoa Jesus is love, completely" and everytime I started to think about anything the vision of his face kept coming up, over and over in everything. While stoned I thought it was neat but afterwards I felt...really weird about it because I was also horny the whole time.
