Medical Marijuana And PTSD

[rightkindofme]

That sucks hollyberrytea. I'm sorry you had that experience. Bodies are so weird.

I have cut down a lot over the past few months. It doesn't get me high anymore it just takes off a little bit of the edge and I can often do as well with deep breathing. It is feeling more like a pointless expensive habit. I miss getting high but I accept this as a healthy progression of experiences.

I used pot medicinally first by accident. I wanted to get 'high' but instead I got 'comfortable'. For about 8 years or so following that I would use it nearly every day. It's only been within the last two or so that I've not felt inclined to. It doesnt really get me 'high' at all, it seems to effect me in a different almost purely therapeudic way.

Well I haven't been on the forums at all in a long time, thought I'd check in and saw the old marijuana thread. The above quote explains my experience almost exactly. Even some "difficult" highs I had were cleansing, freeing.

I'll just say I'm on year 3 and still medicating with cannabis daily. I use a little more than before, but not much at all, and its still helpful. It seems even more helpful, now that I am confident in my decisions and beyond the stigma. I feel that like the above poster, I'll feel when it's right to slow down because I've done it a few times already. Seems to ebb & flow with my progress in therapy.
