I believe that the difficult memory retrieval many of us cronics experience is mainly a result of poor retention of ideas in the first place/while high.
I watched this crappy TV I have while high too much and now I have constant ear ringing.(cause the TV rings) I hear many different sounds though. Kinda sucks since i worship pot, it deserves it though.

Hi
I'm having the same problem and can trace it back to having smoked some pot that had that strong ammonia smell. This smell is apparantly some fungus that can grow on weed and I dont know what it did to me, but now I can get pretty nasty headaches within a few days of smoking pot, and I seem to get alcohol-related headaches as well (most drastically with wine).
Before smoking a few bowls of the weed (which was a seemingly nice kind-bud hydro-grown) I could smoke my brains out (have never been a big drinker so couldnt speak to that) and have no side effects. Now, even if i attempt a small amount I usually wind up with headaches that last for days and can range from mild to very very severe.
Before I knew it was the weed, my headaches were so bad and lasting (even months after the last smoke) that I too got a ct scan and mri to try to discover the cause, both of which came up negative (along with bloodtests etc). It was after a few weeks regimen of advil (as directed by a specialist) that the headaches gradually subsided (all this had continued for a few months since I had last smoked too). The headaches seem to be localized around my temples, most pain coming from the left temple.
I so miss being able to smoke a little pot now and then, and would love any advice as to how to enjoy some without these nasty headaches. Perhaps you others who suffer the same fate can share any luck you might be having?
I've tried smoking through a bong/water-pipe and a bowl, and still get the headaches even with just a half-hit inhalation (though more of a general haze-headache than the pin-point left temple migraines it gives me if I smoke more than that).
Have you guys tried a vaporizer to test if its something from the smoke?... or maybe tried ingesting it?
I'm currently on antibiotics and am hoping they might help the situation, so i'll try a small puff after the prescription runs out to see if things have improved.
Anyways my advice to everyone: be smart about your pot; dont overdo it (like everything in life) and if you get the faintest hint of that ammonia smell... TOSS IT!

All i can say dude is i have searched for years to find something like what i just read. I started smoking pot when i was around about 16 and i was buying ounces and pounds so i always had heaps of pot to smoke. I can honestly say I was a very heavy smoker of pot and the thing that stuck out to me is something you wrote about fungus.
After years of smoking and taking many other drugs such as crystal meth, lsd, ecstacy etc I caught up with a friend of mine who was 9 years older than me and a constant source of good pot. I had another friend with me who was about 3 years younger. He had just started to smoke a bit of pot and I was a pretty full on user, showing him the ropes. My older friend pulled out some hydros which were mouldy in places. I proceeded to have a few bongs of this weed which was pretty normal. I can recall telling my younger friend "dude this weed has got me that stoned its like the first time I ever smoked weed". Anyhow me and my younger friend decided to leave and on my way driving home I experienced the most hardcore pains in my head ever. I felt my brain literally tearing apart and drove myself to hospital, crying and in definite belief that I was going to die. After a big wait in the emergency center the orderly just said to me "your just stoned, these are the sort of effects you get from being stoned" I just thought, what a retard I've been smoking for long enough to know what it feels like to get stoned. And if it was like that I sure as hell wouldn't have been a chronic user.
What followed anyway was the worst pains ever, I still continued to smoke a bit of weed, but every time I smoked it, the feelings inside my head would intensify and I would feel like it was going to kill me again and I would end up having to go for a run of get into the ocean to wear the effects off.
After a very short period of time all drugs were cut out of my life, and what has followed has been years of chronic headaches, I've been on prozac, anti-psychotics, I've developed a terrible anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive behaviour over various things.. I havent touched any drugs for years I work full time as a musician and I am constantly surrounded by drugs, and won't drink drinks that have been poured from behind the bar as i am constantly scared about something being in my drink or the reminence of a glass that once had some drug spiked in it lingering around enough to effect me. I wont shake peoples hands with people who I know have been on drugs because I am scared of chemicals escaping from there skin and transferring through the pores of mine effecting my brain. I know futher exposure to drugs will send me to a mental home. I have had ct scans for the pains in my head, i can only describe it as a heavy tension blockage feeling in the centre of my head which moves and effects different quadrants of my brain at random times. I haven't taken ANY drugs since I was 20 and I am 24 in april this year. Please if anyone can help me with any advice i am struggling to get through this life, and If anyone can use this as a persuasive device to , avoid taking drugs - especially like someone said earlier at a young age, when the brain is still not developed. Please heed that advice.
I was always blasse about the use of drugs and used alot, never casting thought to the possibility of negative repocussions. And what an eye opener. Marijuana is a really underrated drug, and most people wouldn't even have a clue to the sort of chemicals that go into making already very potent strains extremely potent. Some growers do not undertake the correct procedures in the final stages of growing and flush the plant of foreign chemicals and excess nutrients. I believe this to be why some people get bad headaches after smoking some batches of hydros.
Anyway just my two cents worth ive never opened up about this in a forum before, but the last post compelled me to share my experience. Any comments please _[removed]_

you all sound like a bunch of idiots. coffee is more addictive than cannabis. if any of you need health counseling, please see a board certified physician - don't ask some random loser in cyberspace their opinion on whether or not your silly pot habit is causing your once monthly migraine. while you're at it, imagine what it's like to live with daily pain, and be thankful that your headaches are so infrequent and can be attributed to "bad behaviour," such as smoking a joint or drinking a beer.
lisa23, there is a condition known as chronic daily headache, you should probably see a neurologist, and yes, s/he will advise that you give up the weed, as well as any and all pain medications, so be prepared for that. I wasn't, and went through crazy withdrawals.

Hello everybody,
Id like to add my 2cents worth to this little chat, as i think i am in a position to talk as i smoked for 7 years every day, gave it up {easiest thing in the world to give up} and now have started smoking again to loose with {20kg in 2mths without feeling hungry or being low in energy for 1 second}.
I would like to discuss some of the things that i am reading so here i go:
Q1.I get headaches after smoking mj, is this normal?
A1.NO!!!, unless something has been added to the plant at some stage to make it grow faster or be more potent. I have smoked stuff that turned out to be laced with "horse tranquilizer" and god that stuff gave me a headache. So my solution would be try someone elses smoke {who doesnt get headaches} and compare.............i think you will be suprised how low some bastards will go to make a dollar.
Q2.Will MJ cause mental illness?
A2.I am not a doctor so i wish to not answer this directly as i may get into trouble but on the same note it is safe to say that since studies are banned in most countries to do research {or grants are unabtainable as MJ is illegal}. I simply would like to point out my observation, and that is that NOT ONE person i know who didnt "try" heavy drugs has any mental illness.......... and if you really have a think about it you might come to the same conclusion if you become a little more observant.
Q3.Isnt weed illegal?
A3.So was alcohol, but things change dont they?. Also funny how not one death can be attributed to MJ in the world yet plenty of people are dying each day from tobacco and alcohol.
The funny thing is that alcohol and tobacco abuse is accepted in society even though they both cause much more serious damage to our bodies. I would love to prove to some of you people that its not the MJ but the fact that it is soooo damn easy to grow and would be impossible to impose taxes on. Ever wondered why we pay so much for petrol yet brazil runs something like 70% of their vehicles on alcohol yet has no issues? VW, ford and seat are a few of the manufacturers that make cars with special adjustments to run on ethanol {timing changes and approx 10% increase in flow of injectors}, why are we so stuck on the idea that oil is the only viable solution? Politicians make decisions based on which group throws the most money at them, it has no ethical basis what so ever...... or is anybody going to be funny enough to try and prove that alcohol is less destructive the MJ? Because you have allready lost the battle!!!
Chris
P.S. Also the best MJ i ever got was of a mate in the PIG force!!!! I heard they have the best heroin too!!! but i am totally against heavy drugs so stuff that.

I quit smoking cannabis 3 weeks ago after smoking regularly every day for 13 years and since then have been getting splitting headaches, is this just the pot clearing out my system or is it something totally unrelated. I havent changed my diet etc so i am getting a bit worried.

though i have been smoking mj for 30 years or so, at an average rate of about 3x per week, and suffering pretty intense headaches that include nausea now and then, i only recently realized that the headache basically occurs 2 days after my last use. sometimes i smoke every day, so no headache. during that kind of use, however, i know i am less productive and sharp than i ought to be and i back off. i've also stopped for months at a time, but i'm less creative and more anxious during those periods. i would say my correct dosage is 1x per week or every 2 weeks, though i'm too weak to stick to the every 2 weeks regimen.
but the headache two days after last use is a b***h. i think i need to experiment to find out if different strains have different effects headachewise. i live in california where we can choose from tons of different strains and smoke legally, at least re state law.
