I used to have a horrible fear of becoming schizophrenic and I did speak to my doctor about it. He told me that schizophrenics don't think there is anything wrong with them so I was definitely not schizophrenic!
Sounds to me like you have severe anxiety because you are so worried that what you are experiencing could be a bad reaction to cannibus. The memory problems, dry mouth, tunnel vision....all anxiety symptoms that I have suffered from myself and I don't partake in cannibus ;)
It's scary I know but it doesn't sound like you are actually having a reaction, just anxious in fear that you may be having one.
If you feel this way when you smoke hun I would suggest not doing it anymore!
Try to calm yourself. Deep breathing, and occupy your mind with something else.

Hope you feeling a bit better now?

Look, I shall be frank here, if the drug use affects you negatively in this way just lay off it - some people can tolerate it with no advserse effects and other people can be like you.

The pleasure of being part of a gang and enjoying yourself in the moment must surely be outweighed by howyou feel now?

I think that you are suffering really bad anxiety and that the way you are feeling is causing you to have bad panic attacks.

Don't you have a counsellor available at school to whom you can talk to in confidence or a teenage support hotline in Oz?

Take care

Leave the dope, my young cousin was a heavy smoker of really strong stuff, he now spends his time in and out of mental hospitals and cant function without heavy medication. Hes 24 and will probably never be able to hold down a job again, buy a house, drive a car, all the normal things young people want to do.

OH MY GOD WHAT ID THATS ME RIGHT NOW....I DONT USUALY SMOKE BUT OMG WHAT IF IM SCREWD FOR LIFE NOW omg

[mikewales]

Its very unlikely, he was a heavy user for quite a few years, and the illness didnt just come on overnight. Just cut out the drugs, and take it easy for a few days and you should be fine

Also remember millions of people occasionally smoke dope with no ill effects at all, but its better not to take the risk

Thats a sad story mike, such a waste at 24 aswell, thats the same age as me. I have read a lot of posts on here about people having adverse reactions to smoking that stuff, my mums ex smoked a lot of it and was always violent towards us, agressive, really paranoid and couldnt hold down a job etc so I am completely against anything like that as it ruins peoples lives x

I do try and warn young people off using it, although that is a bit hypocritical as when I was young I took just about everything going ! but its so sad, he was a really bright kid, now he thinks televisions send him secret messages, spends half his life locked up ( he is fine in the hospital when they medicate him, then they let him out, he stops his meds and goes back to taking drugs ) and doesnt really have any future. His parents cant cope with him living at home, so the rest of the family try and help him out as best we can

[KayleighJane]

its such a shame, I don't think your hypocritical, you have tried these things and now warn against them, nothing wrong with that! :yesyes:
