Depersonalization and permanent anxiety after smoking weed!

Hi, I am concerned about my boyfriend. He started smoke cannabis couple of months ago, and during this time he changed a lot. A funny, smart boy turned into a quiet, antisocial paranoid. He is totally depersonalized and anxious after smoking weed. Is there anyone else with this problem?

Hi, in my 20s I was going through the same thing as your boyfriend is now. I smoked marijuana every night with couple of my friends. It seamed so fun and harmless. If I only knew at that time what will I become because of the weed, I would immediately quit smoking it. I lost most of my friends, I was expelled from the university and became antisocial. I liked the feeling of getting high and disconnected from my body. I completely lost a sence of reality and my brain changed perception of the world. You said that your boyfriend is acting paranoid, well it’s well known for a long time that marijuana can produce paranoia. If cigarettes are so dangerous, and they are legal, just imagine what cannabis can do to your body!

Yes please answer, I used to smoke weed every hour of my life for 2years, I mean constantly, there was not a minute I wasn't stoned.
I even slept in a room full of cannabis smoke so when I woke up I was still kinda "hungover stoned" and I lighted up another joint before I went out of bed and kept going at it all day till I passed out.
One day I got this extreme panic attacks, and kept having them 10 times a day for months, my life got ruined, dropped out of school, started believing I was going mentally insane, the world seemed so distant and foreign.
I haven't smoked any weed for months, and the panic attacks has almost dissapeared, but I still feel weird, and I get panic attack occasionally.
If I'm far from home or something, I can catch a panic attack, if I think deep thoughts too.

Is there a way to get out of this and get my whole life back to the way it was?

Hi! Im a 22 year old female. I have been smoking since I was 13 or so and I can say that I have never had a problem because of it but many problems seemed less due to it. Its all really depends on what you are on the inside already, smoking will just often bring that out of you, it opens a door of preception so to say. Also I am a mother and I smoked the whole time I was with child and I had a very large, happy baby. All this propaganda is poisoning everyones mind.....

Pot causes no brain damage:
www.cmcr.ucsd.edu/geninfo/Reuters_062703.pdf

You can find information everywhere, all credible and honest sources will tell you it causes no brain damage. The depersonalisation and derealisation, memory issues, or anything else people experience is, however, caused by pot.

Your memory will return, in all aspects, after sustained abstinence from the drug; ditto with the dp/dr, but, if you read up on these disorders, you will find they have no physical causes, but more of a really wicked, self-perpetuated thought process of questioning one-self's existence.

Why do the after feelings of pot last so long? Because the Canniboids (class of chemicals in pot, including THC, cannibol and many others) are not water-soluble (meaning they're fat-soluble), and they can stay in your body for weeks. Your brain is 60% fat, so you put 2 and 2 together: Even after you've stopped smoking, the chemicals stay with you.

Just read some good material, folks. You'll be okay, mentally, but behaviourally and personality-wise, you may be a different person, just because, like anything else, marijuana is an experience, and those can change you.
