........I was not planning on it.

And sure, I could quit weed no problem and never smoke again. But why would I?
I hate bud with a high THC percentage mainly because it really inflames my already pre-existing schizoeffective psychosis and causes me to basically to lock up with fear, social anxiety, stress, and worst of all paranoia that just drives me of the Richter scale. It makes hanging out with friends that mainly smoke bud with a whole lot of THC and not enough CBC and CBD, which help relax you and get rid of the fear and paranoia.
But since I'm getting it through a medical patient that buys what I ask for (thank you MMJ) to help treat and cure my anxiety and paranoia as well as mids which make me a rambunctious little guy and keeps me jabbering all day.
delusions is only one part of the symptom cluster that makes up schizophrenia. Just one symptom doesnt make it schizo. In fact, if its only happening during drug use then it would be considered a drug induced mental disorder, which has its own category of diagnosis in DSM IV-TR (the current medical standard for diagnosing mental disorders). With that said, there are many different types of drug induced mental psychosis and pointing at schizophrenia with only one symptom isnt enough. You must first gather up all symptoms of the patient then pin point which ones come into effect when the drug is in trial (2-6 months i think, I should've bought the book, im gonna need it for my psych major anyway). I would suggest going to a psychiatrist if you havent already to make sure you dont develop a mental disorder through doing drugs.
whoa buddy, you talking to me?
no, i was talking to the op since he apparently gets delusions while he is high, such as screaming voices as he said in his post.
I did hear screaming voices maybe 6-8 months ago, but I have not since than. My therapist and I talked about it and its mostly likely me being under a lot of stress and being paranoid as fuck. I dont have them at all sober, and I doubt I do high, just being paranoid
[QUOTE=sirpopsalot_;30863930]Exactly what I get! Orange Kush does it to me more than anything. So I guess its the strain than.[/QUOTE]
thats odd kush strains are usually indica dominant, unless your dealer harvests real early and theres a way higher THC to CBD ratio than when harvested 2 weeks later.

Wish I could feel happy. I never feel sad, but I also never feel happy. My emotions are so limited and numb-like. Everything just feels the same. Although the most joy I have felt so far is on roller coasters, fucking LOVE roller coasters. I also like to swim, yesterday I was in the pool for over 10 hours, I didn't even get out to eat dinner.
Are you on Anti Depressants?
Funny 'cause a friend of mine said it made his mental problems worse and he turned to Jesus instead, now he's a total freak. :(

No, that'd kill him. He [i]is[/i] a depressant. (I know him IRL)
It made mine only better. Im finally able to have normal thoughts and live my life
hey dude some times weed does make it a hell of a lot worse, it makes things feel better in the short-run but after excessive use for even a short period like a year can still fuck you up. Since i stopped taking my AD's my highs just make me waay too self-conscious and it ruins my high, that could be because i stopped taking prozac like 4 months before i was supposed to but yeah just watch it because the thing that saves you from everything could actually be making it worse without you realising.
I will probably find ADs that work better for me but continue smoking because I think that will work the best for me
a fat bowl solves a lot of problems

And now that Im not high, im sitting here depressed as hell. I guess ill just go back to bed
when you get depressed when you're not high, weed isn't really helping your depression imo
Maybe im just thinking too much about bad things right now
[QUOTE=Barblunder;30875540]when you get depressed when you're not high, weed isn't really helping your depression imo[/QUOTE]
yeah dude what i was saying in my post it leads to this, you become addicted to weed because you depend on it to feel good and you'll only end up smoking too much and ruining weed for yourself :(
sirpopsalot, did you stop taking other medication to be able to smoke weed? Because as i said before it sometimes takes different drugs to treat your depression. Now I agree with Barblunder and Gareth about the 'smoking weed can get addictive if it only makes you happy' thing, because almost anything in that circumstance can get addictive. Continue looking for those alternative drugs that could help you, but you should also try them without the aid of weed. If you find a combination that no longer requires the aid of weed then you shouldnt smoke it anymore (for medicinal use obviously).
Im on prozac right now and after two years I think its usefulness is coming to a stop, so ill most likely switch to another AD. When prozac did work it smoking did help make me even happier and made my anxiety less
In regards to the voices in head, I got that too when I was starting out, really I think it's just inexperience and getting too high/paranoid.

The same thing can be said for most medications.

I only heard them when I was baked AS FUCK

Like antidepressants.
I've said this so many times, Marijuana has drastically changed my life. I have mild schizo, i use to hear people talking to me telling me how to feel and shit, usually making me more angry or depressed than i needed to be. Since i started smoking, the voices have slowly started to drown themselves out till now where there are no more voices.

Maybe thats whats happening to me. I used to get screamed at A LOT. But since Ive been smoking a lot more the voices are non existant
Your story has touched me, sir. This is a true human being right here.
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Does anyone know anything about medicinal marijuana in WA state?
