Question 1

is it the cannabis that is making me paranoid?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Everyone has a little bit of a unique and idiosyncratic reaction to the use of cannabis and then there are several types of it so it is possible.  There is current research that would suggest that cannabis seems to be an exposure that is often present during the transition of a person into a state of paranoid schizophrenia so it may be something to think about slowing down on it for a while!

Question 2

how do i controll paranoia? i don't smoke cannabis so why do i feel like this

Accepted Answer

Medical evaluation.: Paranoia is a very uncomfortable experience.  It is important to try to determine the cause - to develop a treatment plan. I would encourage you to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist for a comprehensive psychological evaluation. Sometimes paranoia is a personality trait but at other times it may be an illness or a symptom of an illness. Take care.

Question 3

i quit smoking cannabis? since 4th day i have had     troath discomfort and pleghm for 2 days. could this be cancer? im just 21. is it just paranoia?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: When you smoke (cannabis, cigarettes, etc) the little hairs (cilia) in your respiratory tract get paralyzed.   Thus, they don't move the secretions out of your lungs.  Now that you've stopped, those cilia are "waking up" and getting rid of the secretions left in your lungs.  This is the same reason smokers have a higher chance of pneumonia.

Question 4

extreme paranoia, auditory hallucinations. molested as child by step father, abandoned by blood father, daughter recently raped. drugs: more adderall than prescribed, cannibus, phenobarbital. she wants help, what type of places should i look into?

Accepted Answer

Inpatient care: It sounds like an intensive inpatient behavioral setting would be best. Horrible recent assault in context of a tragic family of origin with active psychotic symptoms. She needs a therapeutic setting where she is &amp; feels safe &amp; supported.

Question 5

what are mental effects of cannabis / marujauna / weed ?

Accepted Answer

See below: Cognitive impairment, reduced testosterone levels, cancer and heart disease risk.  Depression and anxiety with any reduction in use lasting weeks into abstinence.  Oh, and physical withdrawal.

Question 6

i am undergoing a 2hr eeg and a 72hr eeg. i am a regular cannabis user. these are my first eegs ever. will they be able to tell if i smoke during it?

Accepted Answer

No: The EEG will reveal awake and asleep brain waves. If while using cannabis you were very relaxed the EEG may show a pattern of a relaxed brain state. But  the EEG findings are not specific for medication or other substances.

Question 7

how long does it take to recover from a concussion? dr said its minor? i dont even know what that means. its been two weeks since then. am i able to consume legal edible cannabis?

Accepted Answer

: A concussion is a closed head injury causing loss of consciousness, loss of memory, or a combination of both.  There are various intensity grades.  Post-concussional recovery, in the absence of a persistent traumatic brain injury, occurs maximally over 4-6 weeks.  Not clear why edible cannabis would be of any pertinent value.

Question 8

is weed bad for health or the cannabis?

Accepted Answer

Both bad: All products of the cannabis plant are mind altering drugs and are bad for you.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 9

is cannabis good for you?

Accepted Answer

: Cannabis is now administered in forms which provide benefit in many medical studies, but the hallucinogenic aspect of smoking cannabis has mixed reports, and can be overdone.  Best is to consult your physician about appropriate use of cannabis products, (if permitted by state laws).
