shit, an ounce a day? thats a fuck load of smoke to be pushing through the lungs.
Two years ago I took a shot the head froma tree that came back at me whilst i was felling it, and had the most insane consussion ever. haha. cant believe im alive man. anyways, I smoked so many fucking spliffs per day laoded with whatever my land lady was selling. I bought an ounce every 4 days, and that was the only thing keeping me from suicide.. just staying sudated and staring at the ever soaked wintery west coast cedars appearing and disappearing into the layers of endless shades of grey. truley a strange time where i visited real mental illness for a temporary time in my life.
i saw the title of this thread and it literally was the two things that kept my brain in one peice during that time

"just staying sudated and staring at the ever soaked wintery west coast cedars appearing and disappearing into the layers of endless shades of grey."

This must be Washington state youre describing? Lol I have a brother in Port Angeles. That sounds a lot like the way he describes it


This was the really early 2000's. We didnt get highgrade in the south back then. So yeah going through that much was more than most but definitely not uncommon. Sometimes i miss brickweed. It had such an easy going buzz that never dragged you down

 

[fArside617]

Funny u say that,if I take a break for a while then smoke occasionally I'd get the odd para feeling,whereas usually I smoke constantly it doesn't affect me at all,76

It's like your used to the "G forces" of being baked?

I believe so to speak that it is set and setting

yes, set and setting ... but not always.

I have no diagnosis and avoid sativa dominant types because of anxiety and even paranoia if I use them too long without a break.

I have switched to a (reputedly) low thc but high in cbd variety and enjoy the 'couchlock' and generally benign, or kindly, thought processes that occur.

Have you sampled mdma? I enjoyed a brain hemisphere detach whilst enjoying mdma. no mental confusion, just silence ... but my left eye was seeing some things and my right eye was seeing differently. I could not 'overlap' them to see 'normally'. very interesting!

Port Angeles is a; 1 hour ferry ride and 3 hours drive south from the spot but yeah! its relative for sure!
The scenery in the winter is in complete grey scale, I almost felt like everytime i steped out of my place everyone would be in black and white lol., someone might offer me a pelt in exchange for some fire wood maybe?

Birckweed.. i know this is blanket term but maybe what you where smoking came from Oaxaca? Brick packed but apparently back in the day was the holy grail of central amero growering.

Ohh i have no idea where the brickweed was coming from in those days. Many areas of mexico were growing it at that time. Most of the growers down there just grow really awful mids now. If it wasnt for Colorado we wouldn't get anything decent.

The Association Between Cannabis Use and Schizophrenia: Causative or Curative? A Systematic Review

Marijuana is one of the most abused substances in the world. Marijuana is getting legalized around the world. So, it is crucial to understand its effect on our mental health. Its impact on the schizophrenia spectrum needs our special attention. Even though ...

I've read the article a few days ago. Pot doesn't help. Idk, all that smoking and coffee

 

[CannaZen]

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia by a crappy psychiatrist 5-10 years ago and put on tons of different medications and finally Haldol. Made me like 50 pounds overweight. It's a neurotoxin. Anyway I was screaming and punching walls and the bogus doctor told me it was schizophrenia. I'm planning on getting off the Haldol and seeing a new psychiatrist.
I don't know what's happening with you but I doubt you've really got the schizophrenia my dude...thankfully. I've met some people with it, they like can't function like you and me. Have you tried a low dose of Clonazepam/Klonopin?
Pot makes your symptoms worse? Maybe doing edibles would give you a different effect. What about Vapes?
Hang in there my bro!!!

I was recently proscribed something like that.. I am on a haldol injection and Zyprexa as needed, it helps. Although I find it hard to remember in my memory I was actually there 27 years ago. Not sure what it does.

If you drink coffee that could very well be a problem. It does not mix well with most mental health issues. I quit a few months ago for better sleep and i havent looked back

Ah yes Zyprexa, I tried it but it made me too fat. Like the Haldol does to me. Talked to my psychiatrist on Weds, tapering off Haldol and taking Abilify oral 5mg

 

[D. B. Doober]

Well I've been tapering off the Haldol under direction of my shitty psychiatrist. Was at 100mg/month. Got a shot for 75 last month. 50 this month. Shit is poison. Literally. It's a neurotoxin. Made me feel like I was being strangled by a snake.
I hope other people on Haldol can try different alternatives from their doctor like Abilify, etc. Hang in there people!

Okay I didn't know haldol is neurotoxic. not sure about Zyprexa. I'll talk to my doctor.

Yes, Haldol is a neurotoxin developed in the 60s. Try Abilify. Zyprexa is supposed to be good. May make fat people fatter though. Like me. Other than that it's supposed to work.
I'll be totally off the Haldol in March.

My Brother was killed by an orderly who gave him an overdose of Haldol.

 

[D. B. Doober]

Sorry for your loss @Ringodoggie That is really horrible. I'm getting off the stuff! Oh bad migraines too

I worked for three years as an orderly at the austin state hospital. I was horrified by the way some of the ones i worked with acted. Its a very high stress occupation and most folks don't come close to having the patience for it

I knew a Guy who worked as a 'nurse' in an Institution. One of his fellow workers lost it while feeding a 'difficult' Patient and killed him by forcing a boiled egg down his throat.

Oh duh. Looky there Boss. The Patient musta choked ...

For the mind when it’s racing and suffering intrusive thought I like high CBD, a touch of THC, and 400mg L Theanine. For schizophrenia spectrum I would not recommend THC. . If anything CBD is a known anti psychotic. L Theanine creates alpha brain waves and is calming giving focus.

Anyone who takes Zyprexa, Haldol, Abilify or any similar should read it. Also applies for anyone not taking said drugs. Informative.

I am sorry to hear it. I had a friend who took his own life after they forced him to take Haldol, Abilify and Zyprexa.
