still feeling awkward 4 weeks after smoking marijuana

Guest over a year ago

I've gone through the same thing after using marijuana fairly frequently then stopping.

It's very similar to a panic attack but for me it lingers for days at a time. I can usually keep my self occupied by playing games or exercise, yoga is good.

Sometimes I don't feel like I can handle it though and I'll take a valium to help me sleep. However, I try not to take them often as I don't want to get into another bad habit.

I think what's happening is our nervous system is somehow over stimulated and we are getting flooded with stress hormones. Sometimes it feels like I've taken a drug and I'm on a bad trip.

This will go away and you will return to your normal self.

Eat well, exercise, try yoga and meditation (guided meditations worked well for me) try not to get stuck on negative thoughts. Keep valium handy and only use on rare occasions.

Look after yourself!

You'r a kid... Cannabinoids have a bigger influence on the adolescent brain, especialy if your endo-cannabinoid system never has been active before. Humans have an entire system that can be compared to a metabolism of some sort called the endo-cannabinoid system, which only reacts to cannabinoids. This is because in the elden times (aka before raegan) industrial hemp was used in our food in some sort of way. Cows ate the herbs containing cannabinoids, the cannabinoids would be in the milk the meat, etc. And this was completely stripped away since the legislation laws. What you are experiencing is the way it should be like to be human, you are just not capable of handling this because we ignored evolution for several years now and we have 'people' like you who shouldn't excist purely from an evolutionary standpoint..

I've had this too, lasted me 3-4 months. What you must do is take action instantly, go to your Doc and tell him/her what happened, aka you smoked weed and now you feel like this. What he'll most likely say is the same thing I'll tell you now, it's only a temporary state of mind caused by the shock you had from the panic attack, the weed has nothing to do with it anymore after 1 month. As hard as it may seem, just forget about it, constantly reminding yourself of it won't really help you. What do you do with bad experiences? You bury them in your subconscious and then you're done, you have to do the same with this one. Resume your daily schedule and just let it go man, you're stressing your brain for no reason and that's why you're feeling like this. Acknowledge what happened and let it go, you've got at least another 80 years ahead of you. And don't believe people that say they've had DP/DR for "years" cause of a panic attack from weed - They're either trolling to scare you or they're mistaking the symptom.

For me it went away, but you have to not be sacred of the sensation and believe that it does go away. Simple as that. I went to the Doc 1 month after it persisted and he said it's the brain's reaction to a mental shock, aka the Panic Attack, it's in defense mode right now to avoid another emotional or psychological trauma.

So don't fool yourself, you just had a bad trip.

(Go to the doctor and explain everything that happened.)

19 and I'm am going through the same thing as many of you guys. It has been well over a year, I have kept this to myself, and still intend to continue doing that. I feel it has gotten better since then but I've been the same for a long time. Not held back physically or mentally when I attempt to do my normal every day routine, but I still have the feeling we all have. I rarely smoked until last year, I started to occasionally do it and play ball after but the last time I smoked way more then usual and I believe that is the cause of this (for me). Idk if I would call it a panic attack as I have read people say in this forum but the high just hasn't gone away fully it feels like. If you are having the same issue reply and lets see how we can get our sh*t back str8 and get on track. I remember feeling like I was trapped mentally in a cage in a sense if that makes sense and now I feel similar but not as intense. It may slowly be fading or it may be a different issue. If your still in that chat, How have you been since your last update on here?
