How do I prove my psychiatric nurse wrong? She claims cannabis

don't tell your psychiatric nurse shit, you're probably the type of dude that gives a fuck what the guards in jail think ;) just ignore the bitch keep your mouth shut, your head down get out of the system, get off the meds and do whatever you want and never get in trouble again

>>718306582
You sound like you know what your talking about

It probably can cause anxiety and depression.

>>718305504
Well, what are your credentials, anon? What makes you more knowledgeable than her?
>Pro-tip: I've been doing it for a really, really long time and read from 420blazeyo.com that it isn't harmful at all!
Is not a reasonable answer.

Weed works like that on me. I can't smoke because it messes with my head in all ways but the good ones. :(

marijuana does, but hemp doesn't.

>>718307158
nooooo it really can't.

It CAN kill brain cells before the age of 25 however.

>>718307290
Or not ...

>>718307355
HEMP you can't even SMOKE, gives you a HUGE headache

>>718307453
you can smoke hemp, and it is cannabis. it wont get you high though, you might as well take a leaf off a tree and smoke it.

>>718307389
I know multiple people who refuse to smoke pot because it gives them anxiety. I know that it's just anecdotal evidence, but it seems like I hear that a lot. Weed isn't for everyone.

>>718307389
Anything can kill brain cells you cuck

>>718305504
>>718305504
Weed only enhances how you feel so if youre feeling depressed,youll be depressed

>>718307605
This is pure bullshit

>>718307605
That's not entirely true

>>718305504
It does cause those things for some people.

Consider the fact that you may be wrong, and that she is legitimately trying to help you. What's the worst that will happen? You stop smoking for a few weeks and realise it isn't the cause and carry on how you were?

Marijuana can bring out or amplify anxeity in some people. I am one of those people. When I smoke my anxeity goes through the roof. Wasn't like this when I was younger but now it does.

People love to tote marijuana like it has no negative effects, but that's not true for everyone.

>>718307688
Some people don't want their illusions and world perspectives they worked so hard to believe get shattered

Weed high follows what your mind is in the moment. .for example if your poor or struggling to pay bills..while high you may feel sad n depressed knowing you gotta pay your shit but how..most can get anxiety if a certain thought just goes shits banana..it's not all bad tho as in if you live a life of worry free your high will elevate you to be happy and your mind won't think as much cause you got shit taken care of! In other words weed is a ying & yang high..it all depends how your mind and current life is goin! Sincerely~Scientist!

I smoke weed everyday and have done for the past 10years and I can safely say it does cause anxiety and depression, but for the short term it makes you feel like it's helping, it's vicious cycle really

>>718307761
literally this.
the best thing anyone can ever do for themselves is learn to be wrong, and thats REAL life advice.

>>718305504
Perhaps if you tell us why you have a psychiatric nurse in the first place we would be able to help you.

>>718307781
damn dude, you need to learn to punctuate and spell correctly. that was really hard to read.

>>718307886
Am high as we speak and knowing this is gonna 404 soon! don't have time to check spelling! Man

>>718305504
It sometimes elevates my depression but it definitely increases my anxiety. I don't even know why I keep smoking it. Makes me feel like shit but also good at the same time

Other than dealing with the stigma, smoking weed has made me 50% happier.

Anxiety and depression are side effects of weed. That said, not all users will suffer from it. I guess you should first ask if she might be right, and once you've got a clear head if you can say it's not causing you problems you can tell her that. Explain that you've thought about it and you think your issues are separate to your smoking while making it clear you understood what she was worrying about and gave it serious thought.

She can't force you to follow her advice (unless you've been sectioned) so if you're sure it's not causing you problems then she should respect that. You'll not help your case by throwing a tantrum and acting irrationally.

>>718307824
Same time-frame/frequency as you and I agree.

Although I will say only in the later years did it start getting noticeably bad.

>>718305504
It does though you fucking child.

>>718307974
you shouldn't need to check spelling to correct that many issues. you need a writing class or two.

>>718307551
I agree it isn't for everyone, I myself don't ever partake but I given it a fair try. just about any form of it I've tried it at least once, just didn't like it.

That said, different strains of cannabanoids do different shit to people anxiety however is not one of them. What can cause anxiety in one person is more about them just being anxious about being caught. They get high and they freak out, that's not the cannabis fault that they doing to themselves.

>>718307753
I'm starting to think the CIA ran a secret project to modify the plants to cause anxiety in a lot of people. I used to love it when I was young too but now it makes me super anxious and paranoid

>>718308050
It's 4chan dummy! Like it really matters here! you prob an autistic boy!

fucking degenerate

Directly, cannabis doesn't cause any sort of problems... However it does change the way you think and act while under it's influence. That change is what's harmful to your life.
Call it bullshit, but society requires you to think and act in a certain way, and Cannabis interferes with your ability to do so.

>>718305504
It enhances whatever you already have and exponentially increases the chances of any latent psychiatric diseases to rear their heads.

If you have psychiatric problems and take your meds a little weed is probably fine.
If you're not on meds, and don't want to be steer the fuck clear of it.

>>718308004
no, you, BOTH of you have just gotten shittier lives from smoking so much shit all the damn time and you can't lie to yourself when your high.

>>718308164
jesus christ, are you 12 anon?
how new are you.

>>718308210
really? how does hemp interfere with someone's capacity to be a functioning member of society?

not all cannabis is a drug, idiot.

Do any of you drink liquor or beer while high?

>>718308311
Retarted or b8

In my experience smoking can cause anxiety and depression. That said I might have just already been anxious and depressed but what I can say with confidence is that when I smoke for a long time when I stop smoking I am a less stable person for at least a month maybe up to three depending how long and how much I've been smoking but after a month it becomes extremely subtle.

I believe it is something to do with your brain creating less feel good chemicals because you've been introducing your own feel good chemicals so when you stop doing that it takes your body time to adjust your feel good dosage. Creating a good regime of diet and especially exercise will help a lot.

I'm pretty sure there are multiple studies that prove cannabis doesn't cause long term side effects though.

Considering you have a Psych nurse I have a feeling she is just trying to get you to understand that "RIGHT NOW" is not a good time to be taking drugs that can effect your mood like cannabis does as it can definitely cause short term anxiety and depression which will only make your recovery more difficult.

I'm still a smoker but instead of smoking several joints a day sativa for breakfast and indica for bed I now try to smoke no more than a few a month. Usually something I'll do every other weekend now days and I think that has helped me improve myself a lot.

>>718308387
yea, it is fucking retarded to use "cannabis" and "marijuana" interchangably.

>>718305504
you think lashing out violently is going to prove her wrong?
this chick is an expert man
if you're not going to listen to experts then why are you even going?

>>718308478
Careful a faggot here is checking spelling! He's gonna get mad and get all edgy!

The truth is I'm calling into question how old/mature you are. Maybe this is just me but I partied pretty hard from 18 to 20. I did all the drugs save for anything with a needle.

Eventually mature people discover thay being high all the time isn't good for them. That it makes you walk through life in a fog.

Of course responsible use is a different thing. And it's subjective. Like everyone has said it's not for everyone.

>>718308571
>marijuana
There's actually no such thing. Just a word made up by retarded white people to justify hating the godless Mexicans who smoke the devil's lettuce.

>>718308707
This is a good point, actually. There is actually reason most refer to it as medical cannabis.

ITT: People pretending like they know what they're talking about.

>>718308768
Marijuana is a drung, Hemp is not. Both are cannabis.

this is an american website for english speaking americans. we call it marijuana in america.

>hurr durr its not bad for you
>hurr durr you haven't done it so you have no right to discuss it
good thinking bro

I make 6 figures in contracting and I smoke weed pretty often. Had suicidal thoughts in college and tried to act on them twice, tried meds but they made me feel like a shell. Weed on the weekends made it go away almost entirely for me. Not saying it's a miracle drug and it sure as hell won't solve problems for everyone, but it made my depression a little less intolerable and I'm not some fuckslug leech like most people who smoke. No family history of psychiatric illness and showing no early signs of anything anomalous, so why not?

I stooped as low as to srgue with a girl about drugs. All on her own she came up with this idea that having an addiction to drugs is a sign of mental illness and should classify you as disabled. Her source was "a univserity speech" in bumfuq canada, studies performed by a pharmecutical company.
I agree, addiction is an illness. Addicts with anxiety like her probably need purging

>>718308926
>Marijuana is a drung[sic]
Wrong, because marijuana refers to the whole plant just as cannabis does. Watch the news sometime and you'll see they call them "marijuana plants". You've never heard of a morphine plant, right?
You'd have a point if you'd said pot or hash or anything like that, because those refer specifically to smokable forms.

>>718309353
>addiction to drugs is a sign of mental illness
In the sense that becoming mentally addicted to something is a mental illness, sure.
>should classify you as disabled
Nope, because unlike actual disabilities drug addiction is relatively easy to cure and treat.

>>718308120
You're a fucking retard and I hope fists beat your face until you're fucking dead. Weed is famous for the paranoia it instills. Get over it, bitch. It can make you anxious. It can also slow you down to the point where you don't exercise or yohr lifestyle changes and your serotonin, dopamine, and vitamin D levels drop, so depression is incredibly more common.

I'm high right now faggot, learn about the drug you're taking instead of buying into either side's propaganda. And fuck your mother, faggot.

>>718305504
From the perspective of someone that has been dealing with actual social anxiety for the past 20 or so years of my life, I can say that it works much better than any medications I have been put on to deal with it.

I can only speak to chronic anxiety though. I never get panic attacks, and I've heard that marijuana can trigger them for people that do. For me though, if I get a small buzz going before I have to do any kind of socializing it makes things way easier.

The only time weed has made me anxious is when someone was trying to make me anxious about it or when I felt like I might get caught smoking it.

Neither of those two things deserve respect or have any inherent credibility, so it might be best to get a second or third opinion and do your own research. If her opinion is the deciding factor in whether or not you get a certain prescription for anxiety, well then you're fucked. Don't argue with her, don't act like you need weed. Don't ever bring it up again ever unless it's to tell her you haven't been smoking. If she is testing you then quit until you piss clean, tell her you quit, and then continue. These people are at work doing a job, they don't care about you and will flag you as an addict if they hear the right buzz words.

>>718307188
first hand experiences are the best way to verify it isn't harmful.
I have suicidal thoughts intermittently throughout the day along with a lot of self loathing but recently started smoking and I tell you I couldn't have a bad thought if I tried when high.

>>718309547
You never hear of a morphine plant because most normal people don't smoke opium anymore. Back when it was common they'd use the plant name to refer to its use as a drug too. Some people even just said poppy.

Marijuana is a drug. It's a drug because it's common for people to refer to its use as a recreation drug as "marijuana."

You don't get to argue semantics just because you don't like the phrasing of something.

>>718305504
it causes schizophrenia, depression and anxiety in people who have a certain genotype , usually associated with mental illness....

Anecdotal evidence holds no weight, especially considering many people have watched weed bring out anxiety and depression.

Why are you so stupid?

>>718307389
it dosnt kill them it just stop the prefrontal cortex form evolving

>>718305504


>>718306582

what this guys said pretty much, if you do go back to the smoke, and you have a choice in consumption, stay away from the sativa's, indica's good for brain fuckyness, but i would lay off for a bit first to let your psyche reset, especially if you've been dosed with psychotropics to bring you back to mental homeostasis(so to speak)

>>718310978
anxietyfag here

I fucking love sativa. I will seriously buy shitty weed that I know is a sativa over good indica because indica puts me to sleep. Sativa just makes me feel relaxed and engaged in things. Plus typically the high from a sativa lasts a little longer, where indicas seem to hit real hard and then die off real quick.

>>718311262

aand sativa is most prone to the anxiety bouts because of its heavy THC content, where Indica contains high CBD that apparently have shown to be somehow protective against anxiety symptoms and good for mental shit.


at least thats what the doc told me first time i went in the joint said

>>718305504
She's right it can for some people. Some people the opposite. Depends on the person. People have different reactions to everything
