Marijuana and MD

[Shakira]

For those who use marijuana do you think it effects you. I use to be a social user and it was fine, now I have become a more frequent user and I feel that it makes me depressive. Instead of daydreaming while high I think about the root of my daydreaming addiction. Also I start to over analyze my daydreams and that gives me anxiety and also it makes me harder on my self for being a "crazy person." Let me know your experience with MD and MJ. Does it effect you at all?

For me, there's a huge effect. It either goes one of two ways:

1) The weed can make me giddy and happy, more creative. Therefore new dream scenarios come to mind and possibilities abound. I seem more chatty with the characters as well. It's easy to get carried away and spend the whole high babbling with the "friends," especially if I go out to get food or a coffee after - it's like all of us are going on an outing together.

OR

2) The weed can put me in a state EXACTLY as you described it. I think. And I think. Then I think some more. And when I'm done thinking I analyze and overanalyze. "How did this start? Why is this still happening? Why am I so unhappy? Am I unhappy?" Then I start sinking in shame about my MD. Absolutely rock bottom. I can sit in a dazed state, LITERALLY feeling my blood running cold for a continuous amount of time. Dread.

Sometimes it grounds me, though. Encourages me to become social. Anyways, drugs during MD are a minefield - a hit or miss for the dream world. Either the beginnings of a new reality or a reality check.

I find that smoking weed does alter my daydreams somewhat. They become more intense and my thoughts race. I have spaced out for long periods of time while high and was told I looked totally disassociated. Thats the issue with weed+MDing, the disassociation becomes much worse for me. Certain strains are not as bad as others though.
