I used weed several times a day every single day for the better part of 7 years. It wasn't until I got my autism diagnosis that I realized the real reasons I like it so much. I quit smoking after my diagnosis in order to better understand myself and find coping-strategies that don't involve weed. It's an ongoing battle in my head about whether it's okay to continue using it since it genuinely does help me with some things, but I tend to rely on it too much.
I mean hey it helps with overstimulation and overcoming social fears it's helped me with a lot of things, but I too am struggling to stop relying on it so much and am trying to find better skills that don't rely on weed
When I'm having any kind of bad moment, I dont immediately use it, I try to train me to be able to calm myself, or to regulate in any way, be music, be go to the bathroom and stay locked, don't matter, I try to not connect "getting better" with using weed, because I think this is a trap. But when I get a little better, or calmer, or any more desirable state, I go and use it because really makes a difference to me. Long story short: I try not to make this a reaction. But thats only my experience.
@@Gabesodyssey I am really trying to not use it as a reaction.... but when i can't sleep due to the thoughts going on and on and on then its hard. But im holding out! My gf broke up with me on the weekend and it did really calm me down but yeah...
@@TheBanana93 I just lost a friendship and the stress and anxiety around it has been immense. I haven't used THC or CBD yet, but as soon as I don't have responsibilities that require me to be entirely present, I feel as if I'm going to need to use it, or wind up back in the mental ward of the hospital. My heart has been pounding most of my waking hours, thoughts racing, unless I'm going off of a simple script I can barely talk, and even then I'm able to notice that I'm speaking softly and nervously. Gah I really hate these feelings... Well... the feelings I'm able to identify and put a name to. Damned Alexithymia
It still has a massive social stigma. Youre either infantilised "you cant smoke weed all your life" or written off a druggie by people that drink every night.
The problems re cannabis and alcohol as autism, is not about social status and stigma. It's about biochemical effect of both. Both in excess will screw with you, and eventual cloud your thinking. Short term gains can lead to long term problems; and the choices are yours!
Thomas is the best male autism streamer ever. I don't often comment. I find THC to take my overthinking way too too far, and the heart rate thing, yeah, it can be awful, I can't deal, but also don't smoke your girlfriends UGA weed after taking viagra, OMG, BAD trip, felt like I was at woodstock paranoid, really the only hallucinations I've ever had.
Someone truly not addicted can think things like "I'll try two or five years without weed to see if it makes me more confortably sober". No shame, if I plan something like that my mind tells me automatically that I can consume it in a healthy way, in healthy conditions, healthily regurlarly and all that bullshit.
When I stared smoking weed, few months later I found out I was Audhd. and is really trippy but I swear by smoking weed it help me to become aware of my autistic and adhd behavior. W🍃🍁 made me see the real me. Everything change since then, I was heavy masking since a was a kid. I started smoking at 22 and in my 23 years 🧩 everything started to make sense to me… my whole life. Now I’m 25 and for me any plant 🌱 is sacred medicine to me.💚
I actually started using it because it made me shut up and changed my use of language, which helped me socially, and now I don't go without it. Helps me feel less awkward around people's emotions too.
To me, its like a vacation from my autism, a vacation from my body, and just relax so much, I just zone out to space. I smoke a blunt or have an edible every weekend and it helps to regulate and recharge myself for the new week ahead of exhausting masking. It also help with my gender dysphoria as well. That’s how weed works on me as someone on the spectrum.
I remember I smoked a bit too much and I couldn't understand anything. I looked at my furniture and room and had no idea what it was, where I was, or who I was. Can't say it felt bad, just ridiculously confusing. Not sure if it was because of autism or just too much weed with no tolerance.
I'm a gen-x autistic, diagnosed in 2003 at 33 yrs old. I grew up in the 70s, with the well known cultural curiosities of the time. I know all the locations "Up in smoke was filmed in", I live din that neighborhood 10 years after that movie was filmed. I'm a fan of Tommy. ;) I have also been 'in and out' of 12 step programs since 1988, and has my struggles with alcohol & cannabis. I was my path of recovery that led me to an autism diagnosis. By the time cannabis legalization came around in my state, I was done with both alcohol AND the 12 steps. I haven't had any alcohol since then, and i don't bother with those meetings anymore. I still smoke though, more than tobacco. And for all the 'problems' cannabis' can cause, alcohol causes so much more. We can become addicted to so many things, and autistic stimming urges can amplify addiction. In my 36 years of wrestling with the subject of addiction, it's really all about damage control, deal with the one causing the most problems. With me, it was alcohol. And now, I see tobacco as more problematic than cannabis.
Autistic here. CBD actually made my blood pressure medication stop working as soon as I started taking CBD orally. I looked it up and they say CBD actually has similar interactions as grapefruit! Kinda scary. So thanks for speaking this message! Also, edit- yes, I also do not touch a sativa with a 10 foot pole
"I THINK WE'RE DYING!!" Ok, sir, I need you to get something to drink! Also, grab some snacks and turn on something to watch on TV - something like cartoons or sci-fi. Help is on the way!!
Cannabis is the only medicine I've found that helps control the frequency and severity of my meltdowns. It generally puts me in a quieter head space..not everything Is quite so loud anymore. I can focus on a singular thought..for a short time, but a vast improvement over the baseline 50 thoughts racing through my mind at once. However, the social withdrawal is a problem for sure.
my lived experience is it helps with sleeping better and it's helped me to overcome overstim, but I am working towards more healthy coping mechanisms also
I’ve always had a much, much lower tolerance and stronger reactions to weed than the people I smoke with, despite being a really big dude. At its worst, I’ve experienced auditory hallucinations and intense paranoia, the former of which I’d been told “couldn’t happen” with weed, but I’ve experienced it multiple times. Generally though, it just makes me go nonverbal and makes me wish I hadn’t smoked because it feels like I’m gonna be high forever. I can’t really use it recreationally, I just smoke it in small amounts to go to sleep these days.
I'm autistic and I smoked weed in 2019, and the reason why I quit then is because I became very paranoid, I started again in January 2022 and In July of that year I was hospitalised with Psychosis. Now I don't smoke weed because the whole experience I went through in 2022 was very traumatic, interesting video mate 👍👍
4:10 that might actually help me because time goes distressingly fast for me, probably as a symptom of chronic sleep deprivation for years. I stay up at night partly for the mood-enhancing effect it has, so weed could be an ample replacement.
I can't smoke, because I'm particularly sensitive to the effects. Even just 1 hit from a J can have me laying in the floor unable to move. I usually begin to hallucinate after the second hit. It's so profound that I've often found myself laying in the floor unable to move and struggling to breathe, with a large group of people standing over me, and wondering if they should call an ambulance. If I do it every day to build up a tolerance, I still can't handle very much. Also, it's effects are mostly a net negative, but the few positive effects are a huge relief. I wish I could get those effects alone.
@TheChadXperience909 have you tried different types like Sativa vs Indica or different Hybrids? I know Indicas tend to be very detrimental to me personally as they bog me down and inhibit my ability to function entirely. Where as Sativas either don't have much affect or they have a similar effect as Indicas. Hybrids for me are the only type of strains that give me the best results and the closer to that 50/50 mix the better usually.
@@ethanbrown2019 They all contain the same substances, like THC. If it's the THC, then they are all going to affect me the same. The only other possible difference might be the chemicals it's grown with, like pesticides, but those don't make you high AF.
THC was blissful for me a few times, but I quickly learned Opioids were far more consistent (yet much more medically traumatic than cannibidoids to discontinue, & more expensive to acquire)
rn i'm waiting for a candy order and these 10 minues are passing like 30, its crazy and makes me a bit stressed cause i cant stand waiting in line 😭😭😭😭😭
I am an autistic stoner and let me say I feel very dependent/not happiest when I don’t have any and the withdrawal is pretty bad. I have been smoking weed nonstop for over a year and a half and my tolerance is out the window, I have rlly hard time getting those random bursts of energy, and for months I completely lost my appetite. On the other side, I have had amazing sleep with or without it, I have been very good at keeping things tidy with it, and it has made me think and feel in ways in which I never would have if not for bud.
I smoked alot weed daily for 5 years, and my difficulties with doing chores were so bad. Also I got so many meltdowns all the time. I only realized it was the weed after I quit, and my life became so much easier after a while. Quitting weed was the best decision of my life.
The laugh I let out at the 911 phone call but we’ve all been there and it’s very understandable, too much THC can be severely overwhelming especially when you have an existing mental and neurological disorder 😅
I also have been diagnosed with addictive personality and I go through the psychological withdrawals but I also have extreme physical withdrawal symptoms as well
One time in college, i ate a brownie and spent the ENTIRE night SCREAM sobbing from a panic attack insisting that i was dying from a heart attack. My poor friends only got me to go to sleep when they convinced me their apple watch would detect if my heart stopped and automatically call 911. Totally fine after sleeping, but eating my 🌳 ain't for me lol. That anxiety spike can be SCARY
Its really about finding the right strain and dosage and for what purpose. Sativa edibles made me psych myself into a bad trip that felt like a panic attack that lasted hours. Smoking/Vaping an Indica predominant hybrid works best for me. The only way I can describe it is hearing social interactions happening and actually wanting to be a part of them. Just be careful if you are going to experiment with self medicating. Start at a very low dose and pay attention to if its Indica, Sativa, or Hybrid and document your experiences on them
The dependence and trust on "prescriptions" from pharma companies is much much more likely to cause dependence and addiction. Suggesting that people should make sure they are seeking a prescription medicine vs the seeking out of thc products in a head shop belies logic when you look at the actual statistics of addiction, dependence, severe side effects and death noted annually between prescription medication and otc thc products--thc products typically undergo 3rd party testing to verify the contents and strength of the product. Prescription pharma comes with the manufacturer's insert...showing the manufacturer/seller's own testing results. And we know just how trustworthy these inserts are nowadays. I'll take the 3rd party tested thc/cannabinoid. At least I know what effects I will be getting from the thc product. Big Pharma is a type of side effects roulette.
I really like your videos, but the "Kamal" thing was problematic. Using a name typically associated with people of color, for the dealer, in the hypothetical perpetuates negative sterotypes and reinforces biases.
I have autism and I use marijuana several times a week and I had only one bad reaction from taking to much thc and all I did was to fall asleep after five hours from taking a 1500mg gummy
Would like to add, there is some chemical element(s) of dope/cannabis smoking, that can weaken the bowl lining, and cause problems that way; either biochemically/toxicity, or affecting the functional relationship between the Enteric nervous system, inherent to the gut, and the the brain.
im prescribed weed FOR my autism, its the only thing that slows down the sensory flood and calms my stimming enough for me to function, so this isnt good info like
Yeah for sure its a very effective medicine for problems I have physical and mental but It makes me more lazy and careless so it makes me less productive in everyday situations regardless of strain. The paranoia is both a pro and a con for me because sometimes it gives me a better awareness of how im coming off in social situations. Dont really see it as good for constant everyday use at all. Yet here I am about to blaze but its night time so its cool lol.
I had a friend at uni who was sick every time she smoked cannabis. AFAIK she only tried it a couple of times & decided it wasn't worth it. It doesn't suit everyone. 💚
Not entirely. I am a lot more paranoid of people and i am more likely to think someone is gonna hurt me at night if i am high! Well it depends on the weed and thats a problem with criminalization... I can't get the specific strains that help me!

Never done recreational drugs in my life, even with peer pressure, plus I can't stand the smell of marijuana; but I've been in a medical ketamine program for depression along with therapy.
