Pot makes you introverted

[PapaSmurf]

Been hearing a lot latley about medical marijuana and mental illness. I live in SoCal and have a medical marijuana card. Forst off, not to offend anyone, but getting a medical card in california is little more than a joke. I got mine the day i turned 18, was perfectly healthy, and didnt even need to bring in any proof of the illnesses i claimed to have. I told the MJ doctor marijuana helps me with anxiety ( which is BS because it actually makes my SA worse when i smoke but hey, who wants to get arrested for a bag of plant matter?), i told the doc i have taken a whole list of MAOI and SSRI's ( which is true) but nothing works as well as the weed ( Once again BS). I of course got the card and so did many of my freinds. Some of my freinds excuses were headaches, one of my freinds broke his wrist when he was 12 and that was his reason, and one of my freinds told the doc that MJ keeps him off of heroin and the doc gave it to him!!

I guess the point im trying to make is not everyone in cali who has a card is chronically sick. Its a joke to accquire one. As long as the doc gets his 100 dollars hell write you up one.


O and BTW dont bag on me for lying to get a card!! Put yourself in my shoes, if you do something illegal everyday risking getting a ticket or even jail time, and along came a loophole to free you from those worries, would you not try to accquire one??

Just don't smoke it then. Or am I missing your point?

I remember back in the day they had resin, I liked "black" resin best, a nice relaxing mellow smoke.

The end of the 90's came Skunk weed, genetic hybrid extra strength weed with stronger and stronger varieties every year.

I don't know if it is grown outside the UK as it's grown hydroponically here in lofts of houses and secret plant nurseries.

I think it is an awful drug, it does not resemble in effect the original cannabis in the slightest, it makes you feel paranoid, psycosis and panic/agorophobic.

Bring back to old weed and I would quite enjoy it again, the new strains are like some heavy mind altering drug

Yeah, I'm confused too. First of all, do you mean it makes you introverted, or it makes you shy? And what does that have to do with lying to get a ganga card? And why would you smoke it if it makes your anxiety worse?

I think we have skunk weed here in the US. I've heard of it before and Katt Williams, an American comedian, has a really great bit in his standup act about wanting regular weed and instead they keep giving him this super strong stuff that gets him so high he can't function

Lol....I love Katt Williams thoughts on weed. He says there some kinda thing in weed called the "f*ck it" chemical. It makes you not really give as much of a shit about things.

This is kinda true with me, but it helps with social anxiety cause it makes me not care as much what the other humans think of me.

I have tried the SSRI's, SNRI, wellbutrin, antipsychotics, and many benzos. None really help with social anxiety. Benzos help but I grow tolerant to quickly.The only thing left for me to try is MAOI's, I pray to God they help cause I cant function.

Ive also been in therapy many years with some improvements but not enough to function as a normal independent human.

Im glad to hear its so easy to get Medical Cannabis in California. I might end up moving there so I can smoke legally cause weed actually does help my social anxiety and IBS. It helps with depression too unless you smoke it alot, then it makes it worse.

.....Um....if smoking weed makes your anxiety worse then why do you smoke it? I mean I know it can make paranoid thoughts but this is different from anxiety for me anyways. It makes me much more social and "happy looking".

I didnt know any drug could change your personality from being introverted to extroverted or vice versa. Adderall makes me social but deep down im still an introvert and socializing still drains me at the end of the day. I still like to hide in my room and still have few friends.

 

[cruisin]

I was always introverted but I use to smoke a lot, a few times every day for 6 months and then a couple of times a week for a year up until recently.

It doesn't necessarily make me more introverted, but rather makes my introversions more complex.

Me and mary were tight for the last seven years since back when I was in middle school. only now has it begun to intensify my social anxieties. I've stopped smoking on the weekdays (a silly rationalization to continue my habit) and when I do smoke I still get intense introverted convoluted head trips that wake me up in the middle of the night (once the buds worn off) that keep me up till the morning tripping on every insecurity. it can be horrible and I can not figure out why its started now of all times. I've found that smaller amounts (.3 grams) can give you a good buzz with fizucking your head up.

and then there's hash which always treats me well. go figure.
