I'll be the first to admit i have a problem, im fully aware of it.
for the past 2, maybe three ( i can't remember) years i've been smoking at least 6g of pot a day, picking it up, i've gone through periods of dealing it to my friends to make some more smoke, blowing off important things such as when i used to go to karate, or play the piano, to go get stoned with my friends.

Don't get me wrong, i LOVE weed. After a few cones i don't give a shit about what situation my life is in, i just want to get higher and relax and have a laugh. Munching out would be good aswell.

Anyway, your probably wondering so, why is he posting on here?
recently my mind being going.... wierd. by recently i mean the past say, 4-5 months?
I split up with my long-term girlfriend , whom i was still in love with, possible still am but thats a different story. After that i've been in a greater state of depression, usually i'd just hate myself for what im doing ot my body and my family. After the split i just gave up on caring. i dropped out of college and started smoking more and more bongmix every day, now all i do is work and smoke.

Basically i feel lonely all the time, paranoid that people are bitching about me or are lieing to me. i think of suicide every day, and have to persaude myself that its a stupid idea. (which it is of course).

I know i've got to quit. its the logical thing to do if i want my life to go anywhere, and this is where i need advice. My life revolves around smoking weed, as does my friends. i can't quit because i seriously cannot think of anything to do execept smoke to pass the time that i enjoy. i just wondered if anyone could help me at all... im not sure what im asking exactly but i need to talk to someone bout this :/

thanks for reading <3

Looks like you need to get your shit together. If weed is somehow stopping you from doing so, then you need to quit asap.

Oh and wtf is "bongmix"?

[Nord88]

Thats the thing, i dont know what i'd do if i quit

and bongmix is a mix of tobacco and weed smoked through a bong.

if you think that weed is messing up your life, then quitting should help you get your life back together...right?

:yuck:

how the hell are you smoking a bag a day? where would u get money for that o.O u like rich or something. i cant imagine how sore ur throat would be from smoking that much

[Nord88]

[Peace God]

it just sounds fucking gross to me...the only thing weed should be mixed with is more weed

Not true, I think the first time I smoked weed it was laced with something, not sure what it was but I felt awesome. I was like seeing myself and everything I was doing in third person-view hehe...

As for stopping your addiction, try telling your friends to stop supplying you with weed. If your source gets cut off then there ain't much you can do about it.

[Peace God]

How'd you know it was laced if it was your first time?

[Punk_Kid]

Well I told my friend about it and he said it would have had to be laced with something to do that. Idk personally but thats what he said anyways.

Lol i think you were just stoned dude... "feeling awesome" isnt an uncommon side effect for weed.

Lacing weed doesnt happen as often as you think. It would cost a drug dealer a lot more money to lace weed...especially just for a silly prank.

[Punk_Kid]

Nice! So that means when I start growing after this snow goes away then I don't need to do anything to it:D

Yeah unless someone passed you a bowl mixed with something and doesn't tell you, it's unlikely you're smoking laced weed, almost certainly not buying it that way.

[ShatteredWings]

No one's done it yet, however a reminder that promoting illegal substances is NOT allowed on the forums, as is telling people how to obtain/make

Hmmm... well cannabis is an odd drug. It is in many ways medically beneficial, and often much less harmful than tobacco or alcohol. However, weed does have negative symptoms such as paranoia, which you have noticed. Similarly regular heavy use can make it difficult to concentrate on things. I don't really have a doubt that you are somehow being affected by the cannabis, but the resolution is more important...

It would be unrealistic to tell you to stop smoking completely instantly, as you enjoy the drug. However, like most things in life, cannabis is better in moderation. You need to be careful how much you're getting stoned. Cannabis isn't necessarily as addictive as other drugs but it still has some addictive properties though usually you are more psychologically addicted than physically.

To avoid withdrawal symptoms, slowly cut the amount that you're taking per day. Eventually set a target of something like a 1g joint every day, then lower that to every two days... and so on. See if there is any improvement in your mindset after doing this for some time. It is the same with nicotine, you have to stop slowly.

What should you spend your time doing? There are hundreds of things you could be doing - constructive things. The issue with cannabis is that lost motivation means that usually you don't bother, so I won't ask you to start your own company just yet. Just watch TV, play on a games console or help people here at VT. I manage to do enough so that I don't have to smoke pot all the time, as do most people. I think it's possible for you to do the same. Doing these things also works out much cheaper than pot.

Buy a good Stephen King novel, get into a great drama on TV, re-watch some of those old DVDs or VHS', paint a picture, make a YouTube video. Eventually set yourself a project like "learn HTML" or something and get into it. Get used to learning again, you need motivation and push to get forward in life.

Good luck.

I used to be like that. The way I stopped using it so much I don't really know, it just kind of happened when I started doing more that's fun without bud like amusement parks or fairs and other stuff like that. Now I'm down to a lot less. Probably a little less than 1/2 ounce per week. I know it sounds like a lot, but that's only like 12-14g which splits up to 1.5 to 2 gs per day if spread out evenly, which it's not. lol.

There are no reported deaths in history solely from cannabis use, you had a bad hallucination. I hate to say it, but you weren't going to die.

1) Cannabis alone won't kill you. It's impossible to actually ingest enough of the THC family of molecules to overdose. You'll be somewhat unconscious before you get any way near that.

2) I've never ever ever personally or professionally known anyone to hallucinate so badly from any form of THC that they need hospitalisation. Tbh, I would place money on what you smoked having been cut with something / you took something else also.

3) When you pass out from smoking too much weed, you tend not to come around again until you've sobered up pretty well ergo I doubt it was any form of THC making you pass in and out of consciousness.

Weed is a more mild hallucinogenic...

[Zazu]

Weed is a more mild hallucinogenic...

Most people don't hallucinate on it though :P

[Peace God]

Weed is a more mild hallucinogenic...
i guess a mild hallucinogenic in that it's sort of a psychedelic drug and but people basically never hallucinate (at least not visually) on weed
although sometimes when you're really stoned and you close your eyes you can kind of see a kaleidoscope visual and maybe hear something...you'd have to consume a whole bunch of it in brownies to maybe just maybe, get a mild visual halluncination

Meh I've smoked quite a lot in one go before, about 4-5g, and managed to start hallucinating visually. Kept seeing a green being / small green person jumping about the forest I was in. I was completely blatto though, had lost all sense of space / dimensions / time e.t.c. This has only ever happened once for me in 3 years.

I don't believe that you can easily 'hallucinate' though like the OP described. It takes a lot of weed, the right setting and having the right people around you to have anything hallucinogenic to happen. Ergo, I don't believe that the kind of hallucination that the OP had is concurrent with THC.

[Sordid Saint]

I mean, edible marijuana definitely can give some kinds of hallucinations, but it's not vivid hallucinations, it's more like, "hey look, that wall is melting" lol. More of things looking differently than your mind actually thinking up it's own visual thoughts.
