I have smoked since 1991 after an accident. It started off fine and then progressed. It has morphed into a constant battle for CONTROL of my mind. I want ME to be in the drivers seat of my life, not weed…

I smoked since i was 16. Im 37 now. I developed CHS recently, I'm pretty sure it's because i was taking more and more concentrates. I started taking RSO for my chronic pain and anxiety. At first, it was amazing. I thought it was a miracle. But the more you use it, the more you need to feel the effects. I went from taking a gram in maybe a week, to only getting 2 uses out of a gram, and it would be gone in 2 days. I started getting extremely nauseous in the morning and throwing up uncontrollably. Luckily I remembered that CHS is a thing. I caught it early. For about a week i had to take an anti nausea pill. Yesterday was the first day i didn't need it. Weed was my go to crutch. But now the amount of energy I have is insane! Im manic as hell but much prefer it to feeling sick 24/7. Too much of a good thing is BAD. CHS needs to be talked about more on the amount of people going through it in the ER is on the rise and many doctors don't even know that it's a thing. If weed is going to be common... Then CHS should be common knowledge as well.

Another great video! 46F, started using at around 30. Immediately became a wake-n-bake all day long addiction. My brain is soooooo messed up now which is why I am quitting! I have always had anxiety and depression but it has manifested into something I've never experienced. I once thought marijuana was innocent but it grabbed me and got me good for 15 years. I've quit other drugs, nicotine...this one is the hardest for me, the THC just lingers forever in my fat cells. I am tapering down, mixing measured amounts of CBD/THC flower, 4 weeks in, my THC usage is down at least 90%. I am feeling mostly good but still pretty mentally uncomfortable. Every day is a battle.
Thank you. I am now 35 days quit from THC. It has been a terrible experience quitting. Even at 35 days. I want to quit quitting every day but I don't and I won't.

@@AraOG-o7w How about cry out to our Father in heaven who loves us. She is struggling with memories of abuse and use weed to deal. The answer is LOVE not judgement! God first came to me in love BEFORE telling me about my behavior. Relationship is what our Father God wants.
A schizophrenic starts seeing angels coming down from heaven and becomes fearful they're going to notice him and catch on to him being aware of then. So the schizophrenic person thinks he should act casual and starts pretending to be browsing something on his phone so the angels leave him alone. This is psychosis. Psychosis is when you are no longer living in reality. You are seeing what isn't real and can't differentiate and acting on that in reality i.e reacting to the fake stimuli with no second guess that it may not be real. Stay awake long enough and this will happen to you. You can experience certain psychosis that is diagnosed as a psychotic episode just you aren't naturally psychotic and can go to sleep and ur body can rehab itself so ur not bat sh*t crazy.
I had cannabis psychosis 30 years ago only once. After that I was good to go because I never had it again, even at higher doses. Lies and distortions are proliferating even more now!
Ive noticed people who smoke weed all day long can no longer have conversations, and they cannot remember anything most of the time, I tell them kindly they are not remembering anything, and they get all pissed off, and yes they do seem to have psychosis. Who would want to be stoned all day long, and through the night.
@carreromartialarts i am actively addicted, 3rd day of not smoking though, i still liked my rest stop from life but im gonna try to shape a better reality so that life does suck so much
When a dislocated arm on a body metaphors the psychosis of most Western society… “What we have is a democracy that’s run for the benefit of corporations. That’s a disaster. We’re looking at it, we’re living it and it continues to get worse”-Ben Cohen- The Ice cream magnate.
Pretty cool conversation! I must admit I became addicted after using marijuana 20plus years and realized how bad weed has done my life! Alot of money and time gone haven't accomplished all my goals and disappointing the people depending on me because I chose to be high!
Agreed. If you’re not at least a lil paranoid, you’re likely tuned out and unaware of reality 😂 In this era of ease and instantaneous gratification we need adversity more than ever in varying forms.. marijuana challenges your view of yourself and your role in the world. It’s not meant to be easy. It’s a great exercise and deeply humbling to experience.
@@gregoryboujikian6925 Does weed make you incapable of arguing without a strawman? I’m not sure what the latest data says. Mine says incapable but that’s a very limited sample size.
@michaelr5606 Yeah, arguing with people on the internet isn't real life. Did I commit a strawman? Nope. You're mocking stoners for getting angry at what is wrong information. I said it sarcastically to mock you. Try touching grass loser.
Eveyone loves their weed so much.... Bashing weed is taboo. But there's no suprise this is happening. Our streets are filling up with homeless people with mental illnesses... And considering it's legal in Canada. There's a weed store on every corner. It's sort of a big deal...
I lost my husband of nearly 10 years to weed induced psychosis. Before he smoked he was kind, gentle, and considerate of all my thoughts and needs. Then he started smoking about 3 joints a day, and he stopped caring about birthdays, anniversaries, or even simple things like dinners together - he started becoming apathetic to my emotions, and would even get highly annoyed if I brought up any issue. I'm completely heartbroken for having lost him and what would've been a beautiful future together.
@@Ghostgurl90 I'm so sorry 😔 It's such a heartwrenching feeling. I don't want to leave him but it's been 1,5 years hoping that he'll stop and I can't wait any longer!
She said alcohol is softer drug than Weed???? Weed never made me black out and assault cops with a weapon, alcohol though? Jeez where do I even start....
Legalised in Canada and I see nothing but paranoia and very ill people. The only thing I have for the legalisation was medical CBD for PTSD the thc is a conservative dose
Cbd oil low does . It temporary. I was a usui master . I attuned to kundalini . It cut though my aboriginal Australian trauma . I learned c-ptsd remove the ki ball . It formed a ki sphere . Hit me hard I was 3 days in the floor . In the hospital three weeks . I agree with what you said . Trauma and weed it a bandage it not removing the trauma
Paranoia in my opinion (not a professional just a dude) can be triggered from rational judgement subconsciously...like when I dealt with narcissistic abuse I always had to Seco d guess things. It made me paranoid. A paranoid delusion is psychotic which is probably what you're thinking of. It's paranoia from someone's own false belief. Which is what a delusion is its believing in something as if it's a fact with zero actual rationality to think it's true. Like "the feds following me" or "they" and "them" being after you conspiratorial style.
Your podcast is pure gold! So grateful to have found it. A wealth of info! I am honestly surprised I haven't come across it before. Love it. Have already seen 4 amazing episodes before this one❤❤❤❤
What is driving the heavy usage of cannibas? I wonder if it's underlying depression? I tried Marijuana a few times many years ago and I hated it. For me it was a mixed bag. I had some giggles and all that but I also had paranoia and anxiety. The bad definitely outweighed the good with my cannibas experiences. Interestingly, this doesn't seem to be the case with a lot of people. Maybe they are mildly depressed and weed lifts them out of it.
As someone who has quit nicotine, alcohol and now THC. I think THC has been the hardest to quit, for me. I think that is what she was saying. Not which one is the most dangerous. Ie - We all know excess alcohol (binging) has killed people. Has excess weed killed? I don't believe so..If so, it is rare.
I started at 44 after I developed spastic paraparesis. This plant is incredibly complex. Are they using Indica or Sativa? Out of the box, the Sativa type is well known to cause paranoia. People around the world have been using this for generations. This is no different than booze! If consumed in moderation, you're fine. If you drink too much, you're going to have issues. There is way too much over thinking!
Really appreciate your interviews. I finally came out of denial after 15 years of steady use, especially with edibles. Feeling like I'm getting my life back. Shoutout @AddictionMindset. Y'all should have a lil chat with each other if you haven't.
The world wants a dumbed down population hence in fact why they want us to be high all the time. It makes us stupid. But, marijuana is hard to quit so, you can't expect me or someone else to quit instantly. Weed can also, be good and bad however, it just has to be used in the right way probably. Anyway, addiction isn't a good thing and I hope people overcome their addictions. Idk if I can.
Someone fill me in here.. how many people who smoke have ever had psychosis? Are they talking about a small test group of people who DO have psychosis?
This talk is basically saying people that have predispositions to having psychotic breakdowns are at a higher likelihood if they use cannabis (or other drugs). Which yes, however this is true with any mind altering substances such as alcohol, psychedelics, amphetamines (which is addressed in this conversation). You're neglecting the vast amount of people who use Marijuana and lead perfectly successful lives. This videos title feels like a newspaper anti-cannabis ad from the 1930s. This video is getting a fat thumbs down based on the misleading title. "Why today's weed is dangerous and how it can destroy your brain" @Dougbopst please consider changing the title of this to something more accurate to the conversation had.
But how do we know their brains are not being hurt at all? Just because someone has money doesn’t mean they aren’t hurting themselves. They never said all people who use weed are broke. You can also argue that money is not the only thing for a successful life. There is a spiritual side to success, how someone feels inside due to their current choices can often be more important as the rich people are among the highest suicide groups. We need real science showing if THCs effects on the hippocampus and amygdala are permanent or not and if CBD if used along side THC can stop these brain regions from the shrinking that occurs from THC.
@@larrytate1657 Larry I'm not here trying to say that smoking weed will make you more cognitively able. If you smoke weed, drink alcohol, or take opioids you certainly will not get smarter. The point I was trying to make is that this video is basically a scare video that reassures people who don't know better that marijuana is bad.
She said you might over dose on edibles. Does she even know how much thc or edibles you need to overdose 😂stop putting marijuana on a scale with hard drugs it’s nothing close. Smoke flower between 12-18% thc much cheaper more mellow high and you’re still in control. It affects everyone differently I sense a bit of propaganda here. As far as edibles or oils or concentrates I stay completely away from those. Only strictly tiny low thc joints and if you wanna be on a healthier level just make tea out of it. It’s the safest way of consuming it and you feel it a lot more
@@moonectar the natural mind? The natural mind is sober with balanced homeostasis. Triggering the endocannabinoid system that balances our homeostasis by over stimulating it with so much weed makes us unbalanced. Quitting weed after smoking for 5 years was the best decision ever. I’m more present in everyday life and instead of smoking and numbing my feelings I can actually have a better relationship with myself and my family. People think cannabis is a mild drug until it’s time to get off it. The withdrawals can be horrible including cold sweats at night, insomnia, irritability, depression, anxiety… but it gets so much better once you’re off it for Atleast 3 months.. and it keeps getting better. If you use weed you’re more prone to irritability, depression, anxiety, paranoia, even PSYCHOSIS! This video shows a doctor saying that even if you’re not genetically predisposed it can cause psychosis: “ cannabis changes your brain: why it makes you more stressed and how to stop using it | Dr Yasmin Hurd” And this video touches on a man’s relationship with his grandma suffered because of her addiction to cannabis: “ An Honest Conversation With Two Ex smokers about cannabis “ I pray to god you don’t spread misinformation about cannabis to your children. Yes it can help people get off of hard drugs, as well as help people with chronic pain but so can opioids.
Be careful what you wish for you just might get it and it might. It be as great as you thought. Smoking weed your entire life. When your wise enough you will look back and wished you used your time and life more wisely. You’ll know when you get there. Freedom to smoke weed doesn’t mean you have to do it.

I suffered cannabis induced psychosis several times and ruined my finances and ended up in trouble with the law last year. I smoked and ingested it.
I hope you are doing better now and never touch it again
What are the symptoms of psychosis?
@@jahelation8658 you're in your own bubble of reality
A schizophrenic starts seeing angels coming down from heaven and becomes fearful they're going to notice him and catch on to him being aware of then. So the schizophrenic person thinks he should act casual and starts pretending to be browsing something on his phone so the angels leave him alone. This is psychosis. Psychosis is when you are no longer living in reality. You are seeing what isn't real and can't differentiate and acting on that in reality i.e reacting to the fake stimuli with no second guess that it may not be real.
Stay awake long enough and this will happen to you. You can experience certain psychosis that is diagnosed as a psychotic episode just you aren't naturally psychotic and can go to sleep and ur body can rehab itself so ur not bat sh*t crazy.
I had cannabis psychosis 30 years ago only once. After that I was good to go because I never had it again, even at higher doses. Lies and distortions are proliferating even more now!
Ive noticed people who smoke weed all day long can no longer have conversations, and they cannot remember anything most of the time, I tell them kindly they are not remembering anything, and they get all pissed off, and yes they do seem to have psychosis. Who would want to be stoned all day long, and through the night.
its a happy medium between non existence and reality
That is me when I’m in active addiction
@carreromartialarts i am actively addicted, 3rd day of not smoking though, i still liked my rest stop from life but im gonna try to shape a better reality so that life does suck so much

Pretty cool conversation! I must admit I became addicted after using marijuana 20plus years and realized how bad weed has done my life! Alot of money and time gone haven't accomplished all my goals and disappointing the people depending on me because I chose to be high!
Those people aint any better than you xd
Humans are a fickle beast, getting your mind freaked by weed is good exercise just like running.
Agreed but abuse can lead to madness
Running will ruin your knees if you do it enough
It has its place for self exploration but the concern is addiction and other health problems
Doughnuts are bad for you too
Agreed. If you’re not at least a lil paranoid, you’re likely tuned out and unaware of reality 😂 In this era of ease and instantaneous gratification we need adversity more than ever in varying forms.. marijuana challenges your view of yourself and your role in the world. It’s not meant to be easy. It’s a great exercise and deeply humbling to experience.
Oh boy you’re really going to be getting the full force stoner wrath with this. 😂

Psychosis is treated with CBD.
If you smoke high THC content with low CBD content I reckon users should supplement with another strain high in CBD.
Eveyone loves their weed so much.... Bashing weed is taboo.
But there's no suprise this is happening. Our streets are filling up with homeless people with mental illnesses...
And considering it's legal in Canada. There's a weed store on every corner. It's sort of a big deal...
you think its weed making people homeless. get the fuck out of here with that shit
I lost my husband of nearly 10 years to weed induced psychosis. Before he smoked he was kind, gentle, and considerate of all my thoughts and needs. Then he started smoking about 3 joints a day, and he stopped caring about birthdays, anniversaries, or even simple things like dinners together - he started becoming apathetic to my emotions, and would even get highly annoyed if I brought up any issue. I'm completely heartbroken for having lost him and what would've been a beautiful future together.
Going through the same thing right now with mine. Losing the battle to weed. He chooses weed over me.
@@Ghostgurl90 I'm so sorry 😔 It's such a heartwrenching feeling. I don't want to leave him but it's been 1,5 years hoping that he'll stop and I can't wait any longer!

Is paranoia a form of psychosis?
Paranoia in my opinion (not a professional just a dude) can be triggered from rational judgement subconsciously...like when I dealt with narcissistic abuse I always had to Seco d guess things. It made me paranoid.
A paranoid delusion is psychotic which is probably what you're thinking of. It's paranoia from someone's own false belief. Which is what a delusion is its believing in something as if it's a fact with zero actual rationality to think it's true. Like "the feds following me" or "they" and "them" being after you conspiratorial style.

Your podcast is pure gold! So grateful to have found it. A wealth of info! I am honestly surprised I haven't come across it before. Love it. Have already seen 4 amazing episodes before this one❤❤❤❤
What is driving the heavy usage of cannibas? I wonder if it's underlying depression? I tried Marijuana a few times many years ago and I hated it. For me it was a mixed bag. I had some giggles and all that but I also had paranoia and anxiety. The bad definitely outweighed the good with my cannibas experiences. Interestingly, this doesn't seem to be the case with a lot of people. Maybe they are mildly depressed and weed lifts them out of it.
Making it legal. Duh!
I missed it. What’s skunk?

Did she just call alcohol and tobacco softer drugs?
I caught that too..
Nicotine imo is a softer drug much like caffeine but Alcohol is the worst drug out there.
@@windyacresway Yes I thought of nicotine in relation to smoking, if taken in patched or sublingual drops it would be healthier. Booze is poison.
@@windyacresway However she did not say nicotine, she said tobacco. I mean. That's a heavy one
As someone who has quit nicotine, alcohol and now THC. I think THC has been the hardest to quit, for me. I think that is what she was saying. Not which one is the most dangerous. Ie - We all know excess alcohol (binging) has killed people. Has excess weed killed? I don't believe so..If so, it is rare.
I started at 44 after I developed spastic paraparesis. This plant is incredibly complex. Are they using Indica or Sativa? Out of the box, the Sativa type is well known to cause paranoia. People around the world have been using this for generations. This is no different than booze! If consumed in moderation, you're fine. If you drink too much, you're going to have issues.
There is way too much over thinking!
Cannabis is one of the best a person can have. This vdoe is government propeganda
where are these people getting 60% herb?highest ive seen was 38% other than concentrates
“The skunk” 😍😂🦨
You got it, and when you wrap it in cigars, it makes it worse
33 year user, successful, and do not indulge in the gate way drug alcohol!
Both are terrible
60% Thc not even possible.... illegal or legal THATS not possible it shows the woman has no clue what she is talking...
It's too strong now, just seems to be getting stronger and stronger. These concentrates coming out now are crazy strong..... Just overkill
I can’t get over her saying Skunk
Don't be a troll loser
its way to unbalanced the thc to other cannabinoids ratio is way of.
Yep, all these growers have no idea what they are doing, weed is ruined. A good tome to get into mushrooms, a much better experience than weed
Thank you
I might today 😊
This was meant to be a text to a friend about a different topic lol
I will never touch cannibas again.
Those that indulge usually run in "gangs", here where I live.
Really appreciate your interviews. I finally came out of denial after 15 years of steady use, especially with edibles. Feeling like I'm getting my life back. Shoutout @AddictionMindset. Y'all should have a lil chat with each other if you haven't.
The world wants a dumbed down population hence in fact why they want us to be high all the time. It makes us stupid. But, marijuana is hard to quit so, you can't expect me or someone else to quit instantly. Weed can also, be good and bad however, it just has to be used in the right way probably. Anyway, addiction isn't a good thing and I hope people overcome their addictions. Idk if I can.
Someone fill me in here.. how many people who smoke have ever had psychosis?
Are they talking about a small test group of people who DO have psychosis?
This talk is basically saying people that have predispositions to having psychotic breakdowns are at a higher likelihood if they use cannabis (or other drugs). Which yes, however this is true with any mind altering substances such as alcohol, psychedelics, amphetamines (which is addressed in this conversation).
You're neglecting the vast amount of people who use Marijuana and lead perfectly successful lives.
This videos title feels like a newspaper anti-cannabis ad from the 1930s.
This video is getting a fat thumbs down based on the misleading title.
"Why today's weed is dangerous and how it can destroy your brain"
@Dougbopst please consider changing the title of this to something more accurate to the conversation had.
Thanks i was going to say something like this. I may add people are can be irresponsible with just about anything.
But how do we know their brains are not being hurt at all? Just because someone has money doesn’t mean they aren’t hurting themselves. They never said all people who use weed are broke. You can also argue that money is not the only thing for a successful life. There is a spiritual side to success, how someone feels inside due to their current choices can often be more important as the rich people are among the highest suicide groups. We need real science showing if THCs effects on the hippocampus and amygdala are permanent or not and if CBD if used along side THC can stop these brain regions from the shrinking that occurs from THC.
I hope it’s not permanent and the brain heals over time as I used a lot myself in the past.
One study said the atrophy of the hippocampus can be restored with long term abstinence. But we need more studies.
@@larrytate1657 Larry I'm not here trying to say that smoking weed will make you more cognitively able. If you smoke weed, drink alcohol, or take opioids you certainly will not get smarter.

I respect edibles that's hardcore had bad experiences, smoking is better or vape is the go to
She’s sitting on her bed, that’s why she is bouncing
Whats the red fuzzy thing 😅
She said you might over dose on edibles. Does she even know how much thc or edibles you need to overdose 😂stop putting marijuana on a scale with hard drugs it’s nothing close. Smoke flower between 12-18% thc much cheaper more mellow high and you’re still in control. It affects everyone differently I sense a bit of propaganda here. As far as edibles or oils or concentrates I stay completely away from those. Only strictly tiny low thc joints and if you wanna be on a healthier level just make tea out of it. It’s the safest way of consuming it and you feel it a lot more
60%thc skunk......😳
That's impossible and ridiculous
Word!
Todays 'weed' is industrial hemp. You blame real marijuana for the affects of the hemp industry foisting hemp as real marijuana.

@@moonectar the natural mind? The natural mind is sober with balanced homeostasis. Triggering the endocannabinoid system that balances our homeostasis by over stimulating it with so much weed makes us unbalanced. Quitting weed after smoking for 5 years was the best decision ever. I’m more present in everyday life and instead of smoking and numbing my feelings I can actually have a better relationship with myself and my family. People think cannabis is a mild drug until it’s time to get off it. The withdrawals can be horrible including cold sweats at night, insomnia, irritability, depression, anxiety… but it gets so much better once you’re off it for Atleast 3 months.. and it keeps getting better. If you use weed you’re more prone to irritability, depression, anxiety, paranoia, even PSYCHOSIS! This video shows a doctor saying that even if you’re not genetically predisposed it can cause psychosis: “ cannabis changes your brain: why it makes you more stressed and how to stop using it | Dr Yasmin Hurd” And this video touches on a man’s relationship with his grandma suffered because of her addiction to cannabis: “ An Honest Conversation With Two Ex smokers about cannabis “ I pray to god you don’t spread misinformation about cannabis to your children. Yes it can help people get off of hard drugs, as well as help people with chronic pain but so can opioids.
Be careful what you wish for you just might get it and it might. It be as great as you thought. Smoking weed your entire life. When your wise enough you will look back and wished you used your time and life more wisely. You’ll know when you get there. Freedom to smoke weed doesn’t mean you have to do it.
