Ever since smoking marijuana off and on for about 3 years I've come to a realization that the way I consciously perceive the world is altered, in a way. The longest I have stopped smoking for is about 2 months in this 3 year period. I don't have headaches, trouble sleeping, eating problems, motivational issues or anything associated with marijuana addiction and withdrawals from it. The sensory aspects of my consciousness are the same such as my sight, smell, taste, etc. It almost seems like this world has become fake. As if I've been living in a program designed to take peoples minds off of what is real. This could be due to the fact that when younger, everything I experienced still seemed new to me therefore i never realized these mentally conscious feelings and now that my brain has matured a bit more I might have developed the ability to think more in depth about life thus resulting in this feeling I'm experiencing. Don't get me wrong I still have fun, laugh, and enjoy the heck out of life but this new state of mind has got me thinking if marijuana is to blame. I am a 19 year old university student and thinking about giving pot a rest for the remainder of this life. Feedback is much needed and appreciated. Thanks.
