Hi there,
Well, he just plain loses it..... Sort of like.. "The aliens are coming to get me" The next thing I know he's in a hospital. This has happened about twice this year... Oh, and he's got a masters degree, and he teaches Programming. I keep saying that the cannabis is causing it, but he wont stop…
But there are different ways of showing the bad effects of cannabis, as you know each person is different... But near the end of my affliction my moods changed, one minute I was happy with everything.. The next I hated the world and everyone in it… This “can” defiantly be a sign of cannabis… Think, when your straight and something pisses you off, you get angry, but soon see sense and calm down.. Cannabis on the other hand can take the smallest of things (that would not be annoying if you were not stoned) and turn it into a major thing, taking ages to calm down...
It did with me… I don’t wanna live life getting angry at the drop of a hat… I’m still not there yet… Exactly one month since I stopped and I do find myself getting angry, uptight… I just don’t like the fact that I’m getting/looking old at the age of 29, I look like I’m 35… Smoking cannabis has given me the droopy eyes look.. lool
Cannabis has effected near-on every part of my life… My looks, my brain, my overall health… I could go on… And the nasty thing about it is I’m 29 and have one more year to go at Uni, then i have to try and get a job.. I’ve spent the past 4 years indoors smoking/studying, when I should have been out working.... Now I feel that I’m not going to get a job because I’m told old, and have no work experience.. If I was not stoned for the past 4 years, maybe I would have realized that going to college and Uni was not the right thing to do, and would have gone out and got a job... Not taking the easy option and staying indoors.... Its like a monster, at the begining I stayed indoors smoking and studying, then the next thing I know that alll I wanted to do, stay in.. and get stoned.. Its only now I realise how bad this is/was.
Hehe, sorry gone off-topic here, having a bad day myself..
You take care,
Spence.
