Hello Everyone,
Before I begin just a little background info on myself and my situation. I smoked weed about 2-3 times a month for a period of about nine months in 2009. Since my parents discovered my habit back in 09 I have probably smoked about 5-6 times over the period of four years. So I'm not exactly a beginner, however I do have a low tolerance to it as I do not do it regularly. I have never suffered from any mental illness such as anxiety or depression.
So I smoked 3 cones through a bong last Saturday night, 18th of January 2014, I also drank a fair bit of alcohol. In previous experiences I would feel scattered the next day and then return to normal. This time however I felt really scattered the next day and my mind has not returned to normal. I do not feel like the drug has completely left my system. I have a lack of mental clarity, a really foggy memory and am finding hard to think straight or focus on anything. I fell hazy and confused most of the time. Other symptoms I am experiencing which are completely foreign to me are depression (this seems to come in mood swings), and panic attacks and anxiety. I know the weed was not laced because five other people (all regular users) also smoked it and had no ill effects. Seeking medical treatment would involve telling my parents which I don't want to do, but I am struggling to function properly with day to day tasks. The most frightening aspect I suppose is that I am not feeling day to day improvement. It is now Thursday the 23rd of January (the fifth day after smoking) and I can't say I have felt any improvement at all over the past three days. I am mainly anxious about the fact I may have somehow done some permanent damage to my brain, although I know this is highly unlikely as I had such a small amount and am not a regular user. Please tell me if you have experienced something similar, or if you have any ideas as to how long it will last and whether or not it could be permanent.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
