Yep. Had nearly all of the above when I was bored out of my mind and smoked every single day during covid. I was working remotely and was high half of the time I worked. That went on for about 1 year. Thank goodness I was a mature adult when I first started and could eventually remember that life was better without weed. Sober for 1.5 years now.
I highly recommend r/leaves to read other people's stories trying or wanting to quit weed.
Edit: For those wondering, after being sober for 1.5 years, I'm pretty much back to my old self. My memory took a while to come back but it's drastically better than it was when I first quit. I feel much more motivated in life. My relationships with family and friends are better and so is my physical health. I was smoking about 0.5g - 2g/day for 1.5 years.
- highasfcuk 2y agoNearly all are all symptoms of depression, delusions with manic depression. Nearly all are symptoms of being stoned too. It's unlikely you were experiencing schizophrenia unless you were actually hearing voices, thinking that you were a "Targeted Invididual", things like that.
- aurareturn 2y agoI was merely going by the symptoms after a simple google search. I wasn't hearing voices. I never got to that point though I believe I would have eventually had I continued. The weed I had access to were of questionably quality and wasn't professionally grown like the dispensary ones. I also never tried THC oil or other super strong weed products - which I read can drastically increase schizophrenia.
