marijuana-- head feels slow/heavy/cloudy

I had this problem last year. I felt like i wasnt even attached to the planet anymore... it was like my brain was a radio from the 60's and everyone else's was a brand new Bose picking up the signal more so than others... it almost feels kind of like you've lost access to certain parts of yiur brain... the important parts. I though I was gone for good. I'd be spending the rest of my life like this. I was in my grade 9 graduating summer when i spent my last $90 on pot. I destroyed my lungs with residue in my pipe after.... however to go along with what some one else said up there^^^ I picked up a program with goodlife fitness (I'm Canadian) at that time i was 170 ilbs. 20-30% body fat. I had read something about fat soluablity in THC. Never knew about it till after the gym and if i did, never thought anything of it. I in fact gained weight in fatty tissues moving across the country cause i never wanted to be near the synthetics that Edmonton Alberta had to offer. Now living with my grand parents junk food floats like a helium ballon. I kept the life style of going to the gym i am now 6'3 230 ilbs and only last month did i find clarity in my thoughts... THC when combined with synthetics. The duration of it staying in your body can be extended to unbareable lengths 2 weeks ago i started dieting hard core with an ap called "My Fitness Pal" and the fat burning and other stuff has let a load of THC into my blood stream and lemme tell you the dreams im haveing latley are nuuts. In a positive way are beautiful. And i know theres no sience linking this stuff together but it has to be relevant my memory is alot better ive been sleeping and my grades in school have gone up drastically

Your people are not alone.  I was a heavy drinker, who thought weed was the better solution. I smoked daily for about 2 years.  Now I have this constant fog feeling in my head, somtimes i feel dizzy, blurred vission espically when reading on my computer, vivid somtimes crazy dreams, night sweats,  memory loss (like what the hell did my boss just ask me to do), and anxiety.  Im on day 5 of quitting.  It does seem to be getting slightly better every day (5% improvement daily) or im just getting used to it.  Days 1-3 were pretty bad,  head would actually throb to my heatbeat occasionally.  My head (mostly forehead) still feels tight with pressure kinda like you were squinting for hours.  I was so scared I am seeing a neurologist.  I have a brain MRI in about a week, just to rule out anything else. Im hopeing this improves, scared it's a long term thing.  I will repost my results from the MRI, bloodwork, and if I get better over time.  Scarry sh*t, but feels better knowing im not alone for some reason.

Stupidiest post ever. Weed is goof for you.

You lot legit dont need to worry.. I thought id permanantly be like this.. Time heals it.. 4 months down the line and im 99% back to how i was before.. I get it occasionally but other than that im perfectly back to normal

Did it ever go away

I have been feeling like you guys to. It's been a month already and just yesterday I had the scariest panic attack. I'm scared that I will be like this forever I just want to be normal again because I really do love my family and I really regret smoking mj. I heard you guys have been feeling like this for 2-3 months. I hope this is correct. And I also remember feeling like this the day After I first smoked mj but then it disappeared. But it's been longer than a day so idk.

Has anyone recovered from this and if u have can u give me advice it has been a month and I'm so scared of what will happen to me.

Hi I'm the same person and it has been three months. I haven't had a panic attack since the second month but I still feel like this and I doubt that I will ever be normal. I know one of you guys said you were normal after 3 and a half months. So I will just wait that time or until the 3rd month ends and see what happens. But if I don't be normal by then. I just want God to be with me. It sucks to see my life come to this at first I couldn't believe it but now I know this is real. I just really miss my family and friends. I just wish this thing was never introduced to me in the 1st place.

I have been feeling like this for three months. I will wait more because I heard one of you guys say 3 and a half months hopefully I will be normal by then if not I just pray to God that I will get to see my life like I used to and that I can see my family. I really regret what I did and I wish this weed was never on this Earth to begin. But I will keep in touch with this forum since this is the only one I found. So I will reply back if I become normal.

How's it going man , did you get better ? Let me know cause I have the same feeling as you

I know exactly how you feel. What I recommend is taking some memory/focus pills you can find at Costco. Those help a lot and can quicken the recovery to your old memory capabilities. As for the pressure and the slowness, I would take a few intense runs along with good hydration. This will also quicken the release of the toxins in your body. This is all based on personal experience and preference, so this method may or may not work for you but it has worked quite nicely for me.

You dont need to stress about it, it just gets better with time.. You'll soon be back to normal dont worry ;)

To the OP: how are you feeling currently? I started getting this feeling a couple weeks ago and it hasn't gone away...done with mj indefinitely. Please let me know if it has improved for you...or any of you for that matter.

I have have been smoking for 10 years now. and i get these feelings from time to time and for me it is just anxiety,trauma, stress related issues in life that are triggered in some way by the thc. Also i always find when i'm high my senses are heightened , i can feel my body more and when you get fixated on these feelings or your breathing for example, thats when the panic and anxiety comes along.
(And once you have experienced a panic attack they tend to creep back up)
try to over come that, knowing that you are fine, and it will fade away its just training your brain.
Good company helps. Nothing worse than having one of these episodes around strangers.
Make sure you are relaxed. do something to distract yourself , (easier said than done) but it will pass. that is if you wish to continue . but the reassurance of your own mind over body will help you a lot.
