So im the rare breed who seems to get halucinations from weed when ive been smoking quite a bit and then come off it , i continue to get hallucinations eg spiders crawling next to my bed when i come off the weed sometimes for a week or so. I havent heard of anyone else ive met having a similar reaction in the 14 years ive smoked on and off so im guessing its quite rare.
Most people i know dont get the anxiety and hallucinations from weed i do.
Im off it now and dont want to go back on it.
A psychologist said my long term use of weed could be a factor in my depression and anxiety problems.
Given he is a trained psychologist im inclined to believe him than the horde of unqualified smokers who profess weed as a miracle drug with no drawbacks. This behaviour on the part of smokers is common to all substances that are addictive....addicts will say anything to justify their habit. Althought yes there have been some positives with weed in terms of pain relief and cancer...anyway i degress.
My question relates to how to make sure you dont fall back into old habits.
I made the mistake recently of befriending a guy with a SERIOUS weed problem....i got dragged back into old habits and pulled myself away from him and dont smoke anymore...still the whole situation made me realise how vulnerable i am to getting dragged back into smoking.
Apart from keeping people with weed problems at a distance what other measures can i take to stay sober???
Peace
