Any studies about smoking marijuana while the brain is still developing?
    #18956894 - 10/09/13 10:14 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I started smoking weed when I was 11 and smoked nearly every day for the next 8 years.

Now when I quit I feel kind of crazy.

For starters I get the regular symptoms loss of appetite & sleep, being irritable for no reason, just not feeling very good in general, etc... but I get them worse than I ever heard anyone else ever explain them

Then I get a whole slew of other long lasting symptons, like feeling like a mental patient...

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18848052#18848052

I'm not trying to make excuses I'm just wondering if anyone has came across any studies about smoking marijuana a lot beginning at a young age when the brain is still developing.

I tried looking but I'm on a phone and can't find anything.

Sounds like the common symptoms of stopping pot. Yes, pot may slightly alter a person's behavior.. but I dont think it caused any brain damage if thats what you are asking. You will feel a LOT better in a week:thumbup:

Good luck, taking breaks feel really good after you get over the hump!

i think it's just because you've smoked for so long that you're just used to it. a long enough break ,while being kinda shitty, will leave you feeling without those pesky after effects, after awhile, and then you can be sober, and try to not smoke so much weed, or not at all.

Not damage, just wired differently.

It more than slightly alters my behavior.

And yeah most people would think that I would feel a lot better in a week or so, but I don't, I start to feel a little better, but not too much better. I lose the loss of sleep & appetite, and a lot of the irritability. But I still always feel batshit crazy, depressed, I lose the ability to correctly deal with my emotions, etc...

I've quit before, I know the routine by now.

Yeah I really did, but I was overcomplicating what I was searching, that is nice and short and appears to have a lot of good results, thanks.

I could deal with it if it was just once in a while, but its not its like 95% of the time, I can deal with it, it just sucks at times.

The hardest time is the first few days, then it gets a little better, but then after a few months I just can't deal with it and I always fall back into using.

I can manage my heroin, cocaine, & amphetamine usage just not my marijuana usage, pretty ironic.

Idk I'm gonna stick with it this time, maybe get back in counseling while I'm in jail and continue it once I get out, maybe they can help me this time.

Idk I really don't want to smoke anymore honestly, it can cost a lot of money, and I don't even particularly like using anymore, I just hate not using, idk it's hard to explain.

maybe it's this... the medicine just comes on too strong. you like weed so much, that it's extra streneous on you to quit, because you're thinking about it too hard. like someone with a bad Nicotine addiction. you always want that high because it helps. i think i'm the same way, after long enough periods of time. i guess what i meant to say before was that i don't have a problem taking extended breaks. sometimes i'll go a few weeks without really smoking much weed, only a bit here and there, and then go full blown after a while, cause i fuckin wanna smoke out. lol.

if i go for longer, i start to get irritated, but that only last if i don't just put it out of my mind completely and focus entirely on different mindset, then i get happy and infallible in my mood, at least in comparison to the fallibility i usually have when i am just coming off of weed for a long stretch. so i say, the longer the stretch, the better... at least if you can just put the past out of your mind and focus on things that you wanna do. you do that, and i bet you'll feel better about not smoking weed, but dude, it's all up to you if you wanna do that. if not, then you will see the results. if you're talking like this, then i am sure, those results... you won't like them.

you smoked everyday at 11? shieeeeeet How did you even find consistent weed at 11. I dont think I even knew what weed was at the age.

That's just it though, I don't even like smoking/getting high all that much anymore, I just like it because after I'm done being high it makes me feel normal for an extended period of time.

just phase it out. lessen your dose, each time, for awhile, and eventually taper off of it.

Pretty much this.

You should quit all drugs so your body knows what sobriety is and what "normal" should feel like.

Sober real life sucks, feeling shitty is part of the experience.
