Yeah, it's very personal
Weed can either dramatically help it or utterly ruin you
weed gives me existential dread
I only took it once and had a panic attack and couldn't speak for like 5 hours.
Like full on hallucinating that everyone could hear my thoughts
That happened to my friend when I tried to introduce it to her
Her boyfriend was not happy with me lol
weed just makes you want to keep smoking weed. I went on a long camping trip once and picked up some weed half way through, and did nothing but lay around and smoke. and after it was gone, i just kept thinking about how much i wanted some more weed. It put a damper on that part of the trip
Other people are perfectly fine and actually get better wth it
Well it does feel pretty good for a lot of people
It's not technically addicting but as with anything that feels good, you want more of it
(technically addicting in the physical dependency sense)
yeah
There isn't really a strong withdrawal
caffeine has a stronger withdrawal

Whenever I get high on occasion now, I'm totally satisfied with being completely sober for the next few days.
its mental
It can also cause things like nerve disorders and bring on mental health issues like schizophrenia faster though. As well as lung problems, heart problems, etc. I have been diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat because of the constant smoking because it raises your heartrate so dramatically and so high, then it drops, then you raise it back up again, repeat. Especially with the amount I smoked at the time.
Also if you're under like 20 you pprobably shouldn't mess with it
Well, a caveat there
I first smoked weed at 18
a drug trip can trigger it
so if you're undiagnosed you can have your first episode when you smoke weed
I had the opportunity to do it earlier, just never did
I started at like 17
Didn't become a daily thing for me though until like last year
@obrallaghan yeah, nowadays if i smoke it feels like when Frodo puts on the ring and everything gets dark and scary. fuck that shit
I know a girl who got *fucking destroyed* when she took some drug(I want to say LSD, but it might have been heroin)
She already had the disorder but it finally got triggered for the first time
and hit her like a train
I've definitely had a few totally batshit deathly weed highs
Got schizoid personality disorder, dissociative personality disorder(changes names like every 3 months)
Only recently(like 4 years after it started) has gotten better.
brb
That shit isn't exactly common but it's something to watch out for.
I am in no way anti-weed, in fact I want it legalized and sold and amnesty for people who are in prison for it.
oldie but goodie
In the end, for me, exercise has become my daily drug. It gives you rushes of adrenaline and after you are exhausted it is similar to a drug-feeling effect.
Then I just smoke a couple times a year - if that, and drink every couple months or so.
In high school i smoked so much that i genuinely believe i developed psychosis. I got over though, eventually
