Hi, this is my first post here, let me tell you all my story.

It all started about two months ago, june 6th. I smoked marijuana with my friends. I had done it twice before where I had gotten high. After I smoked it (I only had one hit), I went home because my heart was punding fast, sort of like I was panicking. Keep in mind Im not posting here to be judged on my choices to do drugs, Ive learned my lesson.I reminded my self this had happened twice before, and I would be fine tomorow. I let my mom in on it because I was worried why my heart was pumping so fast, she said just chill and wait untill tomorow. I felt fine later the next day, but something strange happend about a week later. I was in class, then it hit me, it was like a mind fog. exams were coming up, I thought it could be stress. Exams passed, I still felt 'mind foggy' like I was in a dream. By now it was beggining of july. Something strange happened to me on july 2nd, I was sitting in the park after a skateboarding session (skateboarding being my hobby) I was with a friend. We were sitting and I was looking at him when he was talking to me, then all of the sudden, it was like when the marijuana effects kicked in, my mind sorta spaced out and I was like woah. My heart started racing. It happened a couple more times until about july 23. By then it was an off/ on thing, I would have short time periods where I wouldnt really feel bad anymore, then it went away starting on the 23rd. I forgot about it, it had mostly passed until the 29th, when i started feeling like this again. It feels like I'm sort of in a dream, disconnected from everyone else, Im not clear headed. My mom thinks its anxiety, I have already gotten my blood tested (for one thing only though) about a week after all this started. I have gone to my doctor, and described the feeling as 'lightheaded and not clearminded' he says it happens to lots of peaople, it should go away soon. Well, it didnt, we didnt tell the doctor it started a week after doing marijuana. I just want to get some info on this, sorry if my typing isnt the greatest, me trying to jam all of this in here. Do you guys know what could be going on? Im 16 years old by the way, and all I really want is just to feel normal again. My mom said they might send me to a therapist, i dunno. It might all be in my head, or something, I dunno, what do you guys think?

Marijuana making dreams seem like they really did happen.
I went out drinking with my friends, drank 1/2 dozen beer and smoked marijuana. I got buzzed, and I felt good, but then I started feeling drunk, so I decided to go home. When I went home, I went to bed, and must have dreamed that i cheated on my boyfriend that exact night. Weeks later, I remember the dream and I freaked out because I thought it really happened. I was convinced that it was real and it really happened. I remembered the dream very well, and it seemed super real. I was almost sure it had happened. But I asked all my friends and they said no, I asked the guys who I dreamed about and they said no. It never happened. It was all a marijuana/alcohol induced dream. It seemed so real though. I was ok for a few days, and then it struck me. I remembered something else. I was at my sister's friends shed having a few beer and a few joints of marijuana. Apparently, I went home and dreamed that I cheated on my boyfriend again, and i dreamed that i told my sister and she got pissed and stuff but she said no way did it happen. She said she would remember if I told her I cheated on my boyfriend. I would NEVER cheat on him, he is the only guy I have ever been with and would ever want to be with. We were together for 6 years and I'm still not 100% comfortable sexually with him, so I wouldn't be able to just go out and have sex with some random guy...I do trust my sister, but that wasn't enough. I had to call the guys...They said no. Another flippin dream! I hate this. It's so retarded. I just got back from the doctor and he said that it's one of the side effects of marijuana. I am never touching it again, nor touching alcohol. This really woke me up. From now on, I'm sober Smile

It's probably the aftereffects of marijuana. Perhaps you were traumatized. It took me about a year and a half to completely get over the damage caused by my own weed experience. You may also have a condition called, "dissociation". This condition causes people to feel generally disconnected from the world around them. Nine out of ten times, this condition is induced by anxiety.
