I'm 22
I smoked weed from 16-21, 3 of the those 4 years I smoked very heavily, as in at least once or twice a day (not one or two joints, i mean one or two sesh's per day) and it really fucked with my head. Spent a couple of years waking up, having a few bongs before college, going to college, getting stoned at college, going home, going round a mates and getting stoned again, going home and having a few bongs before bed.

At least a year of that was spent depressed. Not wah wah wah I'm sad depressed, as in days spent in bed smoking myself stupid not wanting to do anything even things I usually enjoy (wanking, playing guitar, wanking and wanking) and I think that was maybe what did it.

I don't mean to teach grandma to suck eggs, and I'm glad you still enjoy smoking, but even a few off a J gets me really paranoid, and I think I make up for that by drinking too much.

One man's meat
is another man's poison. It doesn't work for everyone. Of course I get the paranoias, just like everyone. But I fight it, mostly with logic. "I have smoked x hundred times, and out of those times, how many times has it been trouble ?". As a percentage, it's very very small. So I let myself enjoy it. Sorry you're not able to - and that's not patronising.

I love staying in control. I love it. That's why cannabis is the drug of my choice.

Good on you mate,
I used to think I'll always smoke weed, but I started having really strange, bad thoughts.

You're right, probably just not for me.
I got really bad at one point and thought I was crazy. Sounds stupid looking back on it, and I have no idea why I thought I was crazy but a good friend put it into perspective. "If you're mental, you won't know that you're mental."

Works for me.

Weed doesn't really effect me well.
I get all the minus points with non of the plus ones. I try it every couple of years just to reconfirm that I don't like it.

I love most opiets though.

Never tried opiates
I think it was 'shrooms that did it for me in the end.

Had one really bad trip that ended with me and my best mate lying the a room, after turning off the tv, music and light, and I'd convinced myself that I knew they were poisonous and I'd killed myself. Not sure how that came to be, but it seems with 'shrooms that you have one bad thought and it spirals.

Had 5 or 6 absolutely mint trips before that thought.
