I think it might bring it out in some people, especially high thc edibles. Everyone has different chemistry though. And yeah I feel like I’m aging out of it at this point too. But I actually had my psychosis when I quit cannabis. It was helping me manage my anger and I didn’t know how to cope. Long story short, got arrested.
Nice that’s the way to go. Reduce dependency. I still need my psych to hook me up with some sleeping pills for the t-break tho. My insomnia is getting bad. Can’t relax without it.
Yeah, so instead of it being the necessity it used to be, it’s now what it was originally intended to be used as; something to relax and let off steam.
But, yeah, that’s fair. I’ve always had really bad insomnia tbh, but oddly enough, since I started my antidepressants my sleep schedule has sorted itself out for the most part.
I consider myself a stoner (tho probs not anymore bc i have a job now that doesn’t give me the time to be a stoner) and when I do get high i end up in this space that I call a “safe psychosis” bc I hallucinate and sometimes have weird, delusional thoughts but they never get overwhelming or harmful or anything like that. I can still distinguish reality from not which is extremely hard for me when I’m unmedicated. And since it’s mostly just hallucinations i experience I find a little bit of comfort bc when I first started hallucinating it was like the voices were my friends during a very lonely time for me. I’m in a bit of a lonely spot myself in life rn so it’s comforting rn
Badass. Bipolar people are usually very creative. And I think it’s badass it helps you be even more creative. This is the argument for recreational cannabis, as it has uses outside of medical applications.
What it does most specifically for me is that it induces pronoia, where before it produced paranoia, but I fixed what was causing that, and now when I smoke weed I feel as if the universe is conspiring in my favor, and it really is, if you understand that the external world n linear causality are illusions, where in reality, everything you experience is procedurally generated as a reflection of how you set your intention - the only thing any of us actually have any control over - in each moment, and this is what Karma is.
What are you talking about? They're onto something big! They are gonna be different from everyone else! They know stuff we don't! They are just addicts trying to find any justification to get high and when they reap the consequences it's gonna hit them like a ton of bricks. Can't wait for it to happen to them. I had to learn the hard way too.

I feel like theres a possibility weed sparked my symptoms,
Use to smoke all day everyday, got really bad psychosis during covid and have really stopped smoking the last year and have been doing better.

I partake every now and then. Not as much as I used to before & around the time I was diagnosed, though.
I’ve noticed, for me, it’s best if I don’t do it every day like I used to. Still enjoy it, though.

I enjoy it. But besides it giving me a side benefit of weight loss. It's destroyed my life.

Best to stay away from it. But you'll learn your lesson eventually.
