breathing in and out of a paper bag will work, cuz when you breathe out its only 4% oxygen so that means your gonna be breathin less in and more carbon dioxide which in this case is better

i seen some stuff and read some stuff that leads me to think for sure that weed will make any mental problems worse. One documentary insinuated that marijuana could be acause of schizophrenia, however it seemed that usage of the drug made matters worse rather than created the problem.
the way i look at it is this:
weed is a drug that affects primarily the mind. i personally have had a problem with nervous tenision for a long time and i do think that using marijuana makes it worse, but drink makes it even worse, so i stick to weed as my choice, but i going to try cut down as the older i get the more i see how the drug affects people. some people are very strong willed and minded and they get no problems, but others like myself for example and the chap that wrote the post can make our own problems increase in weight.
speak to a doctor about it, although they might suggest pyschology. dont think pills the answer for any mental issues, gotta work on ourselves to make sure we got peace of mind.

Yes, smoking does contribute to anxiety disorder, & a single J CAN, & I stress CAN bring on this & many forms of psychosis. I smoke, & I suffer from a form of schizophrenia, which was accelerated by 1 particular incidence of resin use when I was a teenager.

Not taking pills to get your head together? Well if you really have 1 of the disorders then pills really are your only option, not going to bore you but you have a chemical imbalance in the brain which can only be rectified with pills, Its like diabetes, fo example, you cant just say to yourself "pull yourself together dickhead!" if you don't get your insulin, you could potentially die.

Not trying to be a miserable twat, like I said, I smoke, BUT there has been a price to pay. There always is, one way or another, not just with an illness, but self respect, relationships, work - you get the idea - NOTHING is without a price!

Breathing into a paper bag DOES work, you just have to stick it out, I know it feels impossible BUT stick it out & you will start to feel better - afterwards, you will probably feel shaky, tired & scared - these things ARE NORMAL! Go & make yourself a cup of sweet tea to boost the levels of energy you have just used pumping adrenalin around your body, thats whats making you feel so goddamn funky! Your brain has wrongly assessed something around you as a threat & is preparing you for 'Fight or Flight' Im going to get eaten by a lion, do I fight or run away? Either one requires a LOT of energy, which your body is preparing right now.

Oh & sit down, chill for a while till you feel better, but do something, watch tv, read anything, it refocuses your mind & tells your body to calm down because there is no lion!! You will be surprised @ what you watch or read - even the most boring thing becomes interesting now!!

If anyone wants any further information, then feel free to ask. If I can help anyone, I would be glad to!

ok, yeh i agree that pills are needed for some people. bu ti think for some people who know that weed makes them mentally unbalanced that drugs froma doctor are not the answer, the answer is to stop toking. for sure when there is a proper inbalance of chemical around the brain, correction is needed, and if it is impossible to spark our own bodies into redressing the balance then chemicals are needed.

personally, ive always been pretty relaxed, so i dotn think weed will do that to me. (i sure hope not). drugs tend to have the potential to trigger underlying disorders, almost never create them. if you have mental disorders in your family, i dont recomend starting bud.

to dilated peoples- welll it CAN be part of obssess-compuls disorder.. although if thats the only thing then it's either an extremely mild form or nothing at all.

pothead jaime- it sounds like what you are saying is more of an opinion than a fact. im not saying it is (and wahts more i doubt it is), but do you have a source where you got taht info?

Since I've been smoking ive had a few panic attacks that have happened when i'd been smoking a lot, not under the influence but say I'd been smoking heavily 3 nights ina row or something. But i have friend that has developed schizophrenia since he's been smoking. Once when we were smoking outside in a small clearing of trees a gang of about 10 meds surrounded us all of them with big fuck off knives. Anyway we had about a teenth between the 4 of us that were there which we just gave them adn as we were walking away pretty scared my friend had a huge fit, like an epileptic fit or something. I had to run in pick him up and fucking run for it. I was so scared but luckily the meds were as well and they scattered.

yup. just look up pot on the net and when u get info on what it does and stuff it will say that it does effect that... and after talking to my stupid school counselor i know cuz she was all worried about me and stuff and made me read all this stuff on marijuana and its effects.. but if you look over a couple sites you should find that more often then not it will say that the use of marijuana increases your chances of anxeity and depression and stuff like that... if i ever go lookin for info again and find a good site ill post it in here ok? cuz i swear to god its true... you dont have to believe me..

ok ive done a lot of research on this myself.. but how would you know?? like even if you've read it, how can you 'swear to god its true' ?? do you believe everything you read? and im not saying i dont believe you, i think that what you say is true.. but it does rather intrigue me that you are so sure of your facts when there is opposing evidence and it doesnt sound like you have first-hand evidence of it.
anyways peace

if you read it on the internet it must be true.

like i also said my school counselor gave me info. which was in a book... not on the internet. and my ex bf was fine before he started doing pot and like two years later he got diagnosed with parinoia. which it also says that parinoia and marijuana using are connected in that book. so yes i do believe it and its not just the internet.

if "truth" commercials, school counselors, and teenybopper friends said it, it must be real.
