Edibles ruined me

[artzafrost]

Long story short, I took weed edibles on New Year's Eve 12/31/2024 and I've never been the same. I've been dealing with depression for over a year now and thoughts of being in hell/getting abducted by aliens. I also get really bad deja vu almost every day which makes me think my hell is to repeat my life. I'm on meds now, but I feel like what happened to me pretty much broke me. I'm no longer as sexual as I used to be and I miss how I was before. I'm in therapy now and it's slowly helping. I just wanted to share a bit of my trauma and see if anyone else also had their life somewhat ruined because of edibles.

Has anyone checked where the edibles came from? There had to be something in them. Is this the first time you’ve tried weed?

It is truly unfortunate you are going through this. I feel bad for you. I just can’t imagine it’s the weed itself. Just my thoughts.

Try a heroic dose of psilocybin!! Might be enough to fix you. Do it in a safe, comfortable natural space. Good luck!!

It was my mistake for not getting a urine test right after (went to the ER, but it was packed, so no one saw me). I took one three days later and it was just weed but still very high. I don't remember how much exactly, but a lot. I tried smoking it and I tried edibles like twice before, but the friends who gave me the edibles knew what I could handle. My cousins didn't, though. They pretty much gave me something that broke my brain. I never knew where they got it from cuz I cut them off out of my life.

Ugh... so sorry for what you're going through...

While I do believe THC products should be legal - just like tobacco and alcohol - they should be just as highly regulated. At minimum, this would mean that all such products should have a label that precisely and accurately displays the potency and all ingredients.

And the US Govt. should change it from a schedule 1 drug to a 3 or 4. This would make it easier to study it's affects in a way that pharmaceutical compounds are studied. ..AND it would allow people to hold manufacturers to account if their products are not accurately labeled.

I'm not a user myself, but I know many people who are. And it seems quite a few of them have experienced some kind of adverse event form a bad batch. Events like heart arrhythmia, panic episodes, extreme dizziness, hallucinations, etc... At least with alcohol you kinda know what to expect.

Good luck! I hope your symptoms abate with time.

I don’t do any of it anymore. Been a long time. When I stopped using I had some anger issues but that’s it. I’ve never heard of anything like you are going through. It really sucks and I feel bad for you. I do hope you’re coping well

My point is that it ain’t the edibles. Marijuana highlights things that need to come out, internal issues that haven’t been dealt with. Until the issues are acknowledged and worked through you will continue to be in turmoil. Take it as an opportunity to heal what is truly bothering you. It’s hard but worth it. I’m speaking from experience. Cheers and good luck.

Physician here. There are documented links between cannabis usage and psychotic disorders -- particularly in younger people. You are not alone.

It most certainly could be the THC -- especially if they have a family hx of psychosis, schizophrenia, etc.

I smoked like a fiend in the 80's. Never had anything like that happen to me or anyone in my circle. But pot is so much more potent now, and the strength of edibles is highly variable.
