Usually I could just wipe the thoughts from my mind, but no question that the comedown as a whole was quite a depressing time. Not surprisingly, it made smoking pot way less fun.

Holy crap.
Iv stopped smoking for about a year now.
I use to smoke at least 3-5 times a week for about 6 years or so.....

I just realized I stopped having all those messed up issues you just talked about.

When I was in highschool I smoked basically every single day for over a year. I loved blazing and being high, but for a variety of reasons I quit and only smoked a handful of times over the next few years. However after picking it up again after such a long break the feeling was just like you mentioned... I'd feel extremely negative and my mind couldn't stop dwelling on little negative thoughts that I'd normally put out of my mind but couldn't stop thinking about while high. I don't know why, and why I tried to explain to my friends who were just casual stoners they had no clue what I was talking about. I had a similar negative experience a couple months ago when I smoked from a bong and I'm pretty sure I'm out for good. Have you guys heard about marijuana leading to schizophrenic behaviour in some individuals?

Yes there had been some study that weed can cause schizopenia in some individuals. It can also make one shorter if smoke at a young age. Than again studies have also shown it prevent alzehemier and some form of cancer

Penner, just stop hanging out with your pothead friends.

I did them so cold, they probably think I'm a born-again-Christian now or something.

I dont need help quitting.. lol
My friends are respectful of me and when I tell them I dont want to blaze they dont make an issue of it.

So some things I'm noticing now..

1) I'm sleeping better then I ever have.. even when drinking
2) When I'm awake I'm more awake
