I am/was a heavy user smoking 3 to 5 joints a day and more on the weekends. I can attest the truthfulness of this article. Over the last 10 years I have become what I believe is Bipolar disorder. I used to smoke to lower my blood pressure and to feel good all the time. Now it has the opposite effect where I have drastic mood swings, high blood pressure and panic attacks. I quit my high paying job in a moment of rage last summer because I had been out of weed for 5 days. The week prior to quitting my job I lost a lot of things, forgot a lot and screwed up a lot. I felt like I was getting Alzheimers Disease. I was really scared because I could no longer control my mind. After I quit I thought that I would be able to destress and not have such mood swings because I left a very stressful job. I quit smoking for a while and felt great other than the insomnia. After about 8 weeks of not smoking my husband felt I still wasn't ready to try working yet and told me to take a year off. I started smoking again and started having crazy thoughts and doing crazy things to my husband. Fortunately he is a good man and didn't let me destroy my marriage. I got put on ambien for my insomnia and that helped somewhat. In March I started having heavy panic attacks and went to the doctor. My blood pressure was really high (already taking blood pressure medicine for 2 years). He gave me some Xanax and I had to wear a heart monitor for 24 hours. Only thing they found was Sinus Arithymia. I felt better for a while but was still having panic attacks. My doctor finally put me on Celexa for my moods and attacks. Coincidentally my husband lost his job on the same day, so I had to quit smoking again to dry out and find a job. Between the Celexa and not smoking pot I am doing much better mentally. I do feel that long term heavy use is dangerous to the mind. By the way my younger brother was diagnosed with bipolar schizophrenia 2 years ago, also a heavy user. To everyone that doesn't believe this article it's just because you haven't reach this stage yet. If you are a heavy user believe me it will come. Thank you for backing up what I've been trying to tell users for a year, no one believes me but someday they will. I have been smoking pot since I was 16 years old and am now 46.

"Just the opposite effect has been reported on depression." Who has reported this? What's your source? Where's your evidence? Are you talking about the initial high? (D'oh).

“Just the opposite effect has been reported on depression.”

Who has reported this? What’s your source? Where’s your evidence? Are you talking about the initial high? (D’oh).

Stop reversing it. teens smoke more weed BECAUSE they're having suicidal thoughts. its the other way around. suicidal thoughts are treated by smoking marijuana. an it works for me. “A study based on data from the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse found that teenagers 12 to 17 who smoke marijuana weekly are three times more likely to have thoughts of committing suicide.”
