Reply to: Cannabis - ill effects?

I actually developed (undiagnosed) depersonalisation disorder

You'll fit in well here. None of us have personalities either

Never made me ill, but did have a tendency to loosen the bowels somewhat.

I used to smoke it a bit when I was about 15 then suddenly started getting freaked out by it. I actually developed (undiagnosed) depersonalisation disorder for a few years as a result.

I only found out what the condition was called when I stumbled across a film called "Numb" with some bloke out of "Friends" this year (some twenty years later). The film is a true story and is about a bloke who's smoking cannabis and suddenly develops the disorder. It happened to me in exactly the same way and I can remember the exact moment that I went from enjoying a spliff to feeling like a nutter.

Hard to say but I think I'd have had this experience without the puff but I think it'd have come later in life.

last time I had any was a couple of years after uni when someone passed round some "super skunk" whilst we were having a drink after work in the sunshine. After a few puffs I promptly pulled a "whitey" staggered home (having already consumed about a bottle and a half of wine) sat on the bog and promptly threw up in my pants.

not touched it since

I believe that it turns a minority of users into psychopathic killers. But apart from that it's quite harmless..

and boring sockies

Well it never gave you any mental health issues did it?

Har Har!

Been a long time since I sat in a room in which a joint was doing the rounds but I was talking with somebody the other night about the pros and cons of legalising marijuana and her concerns were with the alleged trigger effect it can have on people with latent mental health issues.

Would that be the William Sessions who was sacked because of what the NY times described as an 'endless record of chiseling and expense-account padding'?

Bet he felt like something a bit stronger than a Martini that evening .... LOL.

I tried some out when I was much younger. I never got any kind of hit off any of it despite everyone around me taking the same amount and being floored. I ghostied once and was ill but that was it.

The only real effect it had on me was providing access to other party drugs which made rave clubs and dancing all night far more fun.

I started like that, but a friends dad had a little engineering company so at night when it was shut we'd get in, design and make our own water bongs and it start the same

This stuff isn't working


Try standing up!


Oh tulip, as suddenly it really hit me

[Gittins Gal]

reefer madness!
