Hey all, ok so I have smoked cannabis for about a year straight now, and have tripped on mushrooms 4 times, and tried lsd and I tried coke like 4 times. I am a 17 year old male, and I am happy to report that I have completely stopped using these drugs, and I have successfully got my life back on track. I have a great job, car, I am going to be a senior, girls, and the love, and respect of my family. Lately I have been having abnormal thoughs. Sometimes I wonder if I am schizophrenic. I can still act civilized around friends, family, and I still like to have fun. I admit, and have knowledge that I am a hypochondriac, and I do have the occasional anxiety. Sometimes I wonder if I am just imagining my very life. I always wonder that if I was a schizo, how would I know it? Like I think that I am imaging my life. Lol sometimes the thought goes away and I laugh about it, but sometimes I actually think that I am imaging it all because of movies like fight club, the secret window, and other movies. Also I started thinking about life, and how we got here, the universe, and how trippy it all is. This seemed to trigger some anxiety for me. I dont know why but it just scares me to think about how small we are,and how big the universe is. Lol well that is pritty much what we are. I keep good hygene, and I am physically healthy. I just want reasurance that im not crazy. I honestly think that the drugs were a factor in this sudden increase in paranoia. What do you all think. I dont hallucinate, and I dont hear sounds (except for when im about to fall asleep but they are like funny sounds in my head not like someone talking to me) could I just be thinking about this too much causing me to think like this? Plz reply because this thought is killing me! The sounds that I hear only happen if I am thinking about it. What I mean by that is that if I keep thinking that I am going to hear the sounds then they show up. They dont tell me to do anything, its just seems like a bunch of random things being said. Personally I think that its either because I am very sleepy, or just increased brain activity passing to a dream state. If I stop thinking about it then I dont hear them.

Wierd Thoughts on falling asleep..
Actually quite common. Quasi dream state.

Mind tends to integrat external sensations with images and sounds in the "dreams"...

Nothing to be afraid of. Perhaps a hightened sensitivity due to the drug use. Will persist for about 6 months after ceasing the drugs!

That seems to be body "clearance" time. Canibus is fat soluble and thus takes longer time to leave body than, say, alcohol, which is water soluble. (And excreted or metabolized in a day.)

Good luck, God Speed and don't fret that you are "over the cliff" on this.

Yours,

Marcu from MN
