Quick background: I have PTSD/anxiety disorder and the VA has had me on like every pill known to man over the last 20 years. Currently on Effexor and Buspar. Very low doses right now as ive been trying to get off it completely. I finally said fuck it and decided to try something natural. So I grew out some Blue Cheese and Dairy Queen. Finally after months of waiting its cured and ready. Friday night I decided to try some. Mind you i havent smoked or drank in 20 years. I used a Solo vape and hit the blue cheese like 3 times and went to bed. I remember feeling a little wobbly and had some tingling then I musta fell asleep. So Saturday I hit it again.....this time 6 pulls. Oops. I put it away and went back upstairs. I barely made it to the bed before I was full on drunk feeling. I laid down and could feel my temples throb. Then i could feel the roots of my hair. My whole body got kinda hot. I could feel every nerve ending in my body. After a few minutes of that it went away. I could hear shit going on outside the house like it was in the bedroom. I swear I could hear my neighbor jingle his keys as he went in his house! Then the tingling/nerve thing came back for a few minutes then went away. Fell asleep right after that. Woke up feeling kinda hung over. Slept most of the day. But feel pretty good. So did I just over do it or is the MJ and meds not going to mix? BTW.....it smelled fucking awesome and tasted pretty good. I was skeptical about vapes but holy shit this Solo works.

the first couple of times I smoked after close to 15 years I got STONED! It seems to settle down after a few "sessions"

Just realise it is not possible that it will
harm you period.
Sounds like you overdid it.
Understatement^^^^

As far as it interfering with other meds
I would google the name of each med
along with the word cannabis.
I dont know of any meds it would
clash with but better safe than sorry.

Ease in and I hope it works out.

Sounds like you grew some nice weed.

even if you cant smoke growing is still
a pleasure and a nice zen like distraction
as long as it is going well.
Then all your friends will love you. :)

i always take at maximum 3 bong hits if i haven't smoked regularly, let that work its magic for a few hours and then smoke a bowl or two at night and i'm fine the next day.
vape if your lungs can't handle smoke, the other option would be cooking it and making all kinds of baked goodies from it. there are also oils you can use but i have no idea how to go about making it. hash is starting to be the big thing these days, too, so theres that option as well. know your limits, know your source, and all things in moderation. safe travels my friend and thank you for your service to our great country.

I'd enjoy that while it lasts, you will build a tolerance to it.
Then your dose will have to be larger.

No thanks necessary...but very much appreciated. Ive been tryin to dump the pills. Its been rough. I tapered off real slow and got down to 25mg of effexor every day and i went into full panic mode about 2 days into it. Had to go back to 25mg twice a day and have been managing. Im hoping this will help me get down to 0mg cause this shit has literally made me a zombie the last 20years of my life.

pills are some evil shit, man. don't stop taking them all at once though, withdrawals are hell and will make you want to keep coming back for more. try cutting them into 1/2 and then 3/4's, it'll be easier to ween off of them that way.

I actually weened off the Effexor over the course of 6 months. It still bit me in the ass. I had like electric pulses or shocks hitting my brain every half our or so for like a month. That shit is pure evil. If I knew how bad it was I would have never taken it.

look for a strain called "night shade", it's one of my faves to smoke at night. it completely overrides any kind of high feeling and puts you right to sleep in 1hr tops. i took 4 hits from a pipe and was on the couch asleep with my mouth open before i knew it, works wonders for insomnia if you have it.

yea you just smoked too much. it will help with the brain zaps... i wouldnt recommend smoking that amount while taking moderate doses of the effexor, sounds like your off it though...the other is only a partial agonist and doesnt present the same risks...similar to thc and a full agonist as found in spice, causing od's

You will have a different reaction to every type of cannabinoid ratio - and the effects will be more intense with lower tolerance (of course). Part of the fun of being your own doctor is, well, being your own doctor; crafting your own meds; if one doesn't work, try another. I find that a nice 35indica/65sativa ratio is perfect for me; but I like to mix it up for different experiences and occasions --- Also, I don't believe that marijuana mixed with ANY medicine/food/drink can be life-threatening; if that were the case, someone would have died by now. Welcome back, mary missed you

What's really funny is I'm prone to panic attacks and normally I'd have a five alarm one when I started feeling shit like I felt the other night but I didn't. I just kinda laid there and soaked it all in.

Dude that Buspar is nasty, I don't know about the Effexor but I have seen the other. DO some more research and stay away from hyper paranoia inducing strains, but the right type of MMJ will probably work better than the crap VA shoves at everyone.
Hang in there man.
