weed and schizzo

Good for you, you did the right thing!!

I used to smoke weed a lot years ago. I smoked everyday. It made me seriously paranoid. I just stayed in my house all the time. Now I'm not sure why I was smoking it when I had such a bad reaction to it.

I want to mention I am having success for mental and physical health problem with medical cannabis which has had the THC ,that is the psychoactive,parts taken out.So you get the cannabis health benefits without the high!
So far it has helped by taking away my muscle ,shoulder and back pains, stopping my stomach acid, helping me lose weight and fixing the irregular rhythms of my heart,it also relaxes me and reduces my anxiety and depression.
I have hear so many good things about it and having tried it I can say they are all true.I am sleeping better and deeper too!
Here is the link from where I buy the stuff:https://cbdbrothers.com/

Smoked pot for 25 years all day everyday, until a year ago. Brought temporary relief for anxiety, but made it worse when coming off it. I would not have smoked it at all, certainly not for 25 years everyday, if i could go back in time.

I just wanted to chime in and tell my experience. Well, it seems there's overwhelming evidence that people like us should stay away from pot. I am waiting for it to become legal and am very interested in finding cbd strains.

Where I live you really never know what your're getting. When I think back on all my biggest episodes and thesre's overwhelming evidence that smoking most likely exaggerated and contributed to almost all of them. Smoking pot is honestly my biggest trigger. When I first started smoking I loved it. I was around 16 and did it on and off for a few years. At first I could handle it, and it was very enjoyable and had many good times because of it.
When I was 18 and was going through a bad breakup i started smoking more, and it only made my mania worse. The older I have gotten the more sensitive I seem to be to it. Also, many psych meds and maryjane do not mix.

In 2014 I was smoking a couple times a day and throughout the work day. Did this for about 4 months, and then started school again. I started smoking before classes and also taking klonopin with it. I was pretty much in my own world. And it wasn't long until I couldn't mask it anymore and I had went off the deep end shortly after. I was in and out of the hospital for a couple weeks. Got out, met up with some girl, however continued smoking and whatever we were smoking, later this girl told me the pot was laced with embalmic fluid. Went back to hospital, got out. Smoked again, made me paranoid and wasn't enjoyable, however I was stable. Made a conscious decision to stay way from it. Went about 8 months off it. Was the most stable I had been in years. Again, personal relationship issues, got depressed decided to pick up and eighth. Smoked alone, at night. Now, I was smoking it and then looked at myself said wtf am I doing, I don't want to lose it again. So I quit it for about a week or so, I felt fantastic and everyone was telling me how I looked great.
Well, anyways I went back to it, and now I wasn't able to sleep, the weed wasn't making me sleep. I was getting fearful and delusional. So. This was back in march. Spent a few weeks in hospital. Since I've been out since maybe late April, I have told myself I am done. I will not touch it, until it until it becomes legal in this state. I have been very stable these past couple of months, and I will not risk losing it.

I have read bipolar and sz patients most preferred choice of drug is pot. Why is this? I don't really like drinking. And drinking has never caused me any problems. People say how much safer marijuana is than alcohol, but personally for me, and probably most people dx sz or bp it is worse. I have even done coke and it never caused me all of the problems from marijuana. I can't explain it to people who do not have mental illness, but it's not just it makes me "paranoid". I can't explain some of the states I've been in because of pot. There are many benefits I've experienced too like pain relief and releif from ibs. And there was those times it made me extremely relaxed.

But pot and schiz. Not recommended

My symptoms started when I was 15, I started smoking weed when I was 18, it makes me more relaxed and it gives me a good feeling. But there's a catch, I have to be in an environment that I know that I can feel comfortable in otherwise I get anxious and nervous and start pacing which people misconstrue as being high on other drugs. So you have to be careful on where you smoke weed. I'd rather be at home or over at a good friends place than anywhere else.

i'm schizoaffective bipolar type as well, (manic, anxious, hallucinating) and yes the sour diesel train is a nice calm feeling. i smoke it every night before bed and sleep great. however i wouldn't go out high bcuz i would have to deal with ppl :P
