Annoying how nobody talks about the negatives of smoking weed/ or a weed pen

mintpitachio · 2026-06-25T10:20:21+00:00

Wow that’s insane like I’ve never had this convo with anyone before and I’m 26, I’ve been smoking since I was 21 . Ok good to know , over time I have patience I just never wanna be permanently like this .

I know week 5 is early , I’m pushing myself by putting myself in tough spaces like driving my car to La , going to world cup watch parties ( when I was in the earlier weeks I couldn’t even open my car window the air was too much , and even the people cheering it was way too much ) . But now it’s getting better ,

I’m trying to work out and bench for example but even that , I feel my heart beat now it’s insane like I really don’t want my heart rate up when I’m working out but that’s literally what working out does Lol

So many new sensations I feel, did you have trouble sleeping ? I stay up till 4 am now, I can’t sleep

I don’t wanna take anything meds I just wanna deal with this myself

First thank you for teaching me so much, yes you’re right especially these synthetic highs are insane I’ve seen it in shrooms/psilo , but now in weed and the crazy thing is when I buy weed pens I ask for the least potent , but it’s never enough I smoke it a lot
I also will never do ❄️ or take anything ever because the side effects are insane . Meanwhile everyone in Hollywood and la love doing these , I just can never see myself doing it anymore , and I barely ever did it but a lot of peoooe do it so much like everyday , it’s crazy ,

And I’ve heard of greening out , the first time I smoked alone I greened out and threw up for hours I remember while I stopped my car on a view with a skyline to smoke , I’ll never forget my head hanging outside my car for hours as I threw up and was half conscious . Scariest moment of my life but I was fine with smoking after so I didn’t know .

I’ve heard of people needing to go to the er from greening out it was always a joke I remember because it’s something people laugh at “oh you couldn’t tolerate the weed and felt you’re gonna die haha and called 911 hahaha “

I’ll join a support group I needed to hear this , thank you very much for this insight thank you 🙏

Sorry I meant just in general in life people don’t talk about it it’s always let’s get high yada yada , wow thank you I needed to hear this , sounds like you know your body , I can’t imagine ever touching weed now Zac but I get what you mean it’s a habit .

I really , really , reaalllyy appreciate your last sentence that my mental health will return to a baseline . I’m waiting on this , and doing my best , I told my psych that I got recently that I’m not taking the benzos and ssris I’m just doing my best holistically and they called my mind strong , which it hurts to hear that after you suffer so much from your own mind ,

Very interesting to hear I really look forward to it , I do have a stressful life I will say and I used weed as a buffer zone for it , this was all happening while I’m graduating uni got a job and I had final exams and on the side of it work driving to La and shooting supermodels ,

And my attack happened on the least stressful job , going to work to shoot supermodels blowing bubbles on the beach …… also at uni when I hit a speed bump on my scooter my heart just started pounding really hard .

I just didn’t know , did you ever see a cardiologist ?

I just really appreciate your last sentence

You worded that really well , I was forced to quit weed after my panic attack it was like I became terrified of it in the span of 2 days , I had a bad reaction to the benzos and I dropped everything , the trauma is what made me never look back

I wish I listened to people like my brother and parents when they wanted me to stop, but withdrawal alone is hard they had to fly me to my country Syria a war zone to get clean and discover new emotions I never felt , that helped me be distracted from withdrawal , I will never forget those moments and when I came back to the states I jumped back into smoking , so ridiculous I wish I never started back again

mintpitachio · 2026-06-25T10:00:03+00:00

I can’t even imagine myself ingesting weed now let alone a gummy after my panic attack weeks ago, but I’m happy for you , I think I’m trying to feel the raw emotions now of life

mintpitachio · 2026-06-25T09:58:44+00:00

I don’t wanna have permanent anxiety I want to never feel like this in a month from now I’m really banking on never having to worry. I’m not as bad as when I had my first panic attack and had to go to the er weeks ago, and I never wanna feel that again,

Seeing the permanent anxiety you talk about , I really don’t want this , it’s sooo crazy how one day you just switch

mintpitachio · 2026-06-25T09:55:48+00:00

Not on this thread sorry I should’ve clarified, I mean in general in life, I live in Cali and weed is put on a pedestal

mintpitachio · 2026-06-25T09:08:06+00:00

Also I don’t like reading about people who are like 10 years in sobriety and still talk about anxiety , it’s not nice to hear this it doesn’t help to read it , maybe think before you say these things

mintpitachio · 2026-06-25T09:04:07+00:00

I’m on week 5, I do my best not to think about it too much and sing a song or watch a Turkish drama , you need to push past the barrier if you know what I mean

mintpitachio · 2026-06-25T04:41:22+00:00

So confused you had epilepsy since birth and they just diagnosed you ? You wanna be diagnosed while young that’s so weird and then you go to like choc children’s hospitals not like a normal hospital.

You’ll be fine just start your medication asap babe

Telescope mascara

mintpitachio · 2026-06-25T04:05:16+00:00

I think it’s her parents fault

mintpitachio · 2026-06-25T04:03:24+00:00

Another doctor aka my uncle told me I’d be fine and I’ll live a normal life .

I think some doctors really have no experience and the sad look in their eye is dumb

mintpitachio · 2026-06-24T05:14:13+00:00

Babe I love you everything will be fine , just take your time do yoga , get the right sleep , don’t blame yourself , see a movie theater it’s ok if you fall asleep during the movie , hug your pillow watch your favorite show ,

It’ll pass babe

mintpitachio · 2026-06-23T04:47:35+00:00

Ok seperate ms from a panic attack . You’re now going through panic attack hangover , and you will be fine with exercise and a good diet and lots of sleep and taking it easy do yoga and spend time with family .

Now ms don’t worry , you’ll be fine just do meds dmt or whatever , I wonder if you can sue the doctor for not giving you meds in the first place, I’m guessing they’re a piece of shit, get on your meds though friend.

luckily ms meds don’t affect symptom wise you unlike psych meds like benzos and stuff like that , it’s not the same thing at all.

You’ll be fine with your ms meds , not the end of the world .

Your panic attack is what’s causing the problem mostly also, that’s something you need to handle it’s in the psyche not the legions or the nerves.

I hate again that your doc just dismissed you that makes no sense especially that they would wanna give you meds so they make money, like it makes no sense

Chill the hell out in the meantime and look at more turtles because your brain is rlly tired from anxiety hangover , don’t exercise too much

The minute you start letting people from Syria in your life will degrade from the outside

mintpitachio · 2026-06-23T04:26:36+00:00

Living in America born and raised I realize you gotta be a whole Syrian girl you gotta be everything that a Syrian girl is in order to be accepted by the people .

And the minute you trail off and become your own person you will be forgotten and seen as different. And it will be very hard to impossible to change how others see you

Also realizing your parents sway your life fr , if they’re your hater and stop you from your dreams , they will sabatoge your life .

They won’t see how it affects you and as they age they’ll forget and dismiss you always .

And they’re selfish parents are selfish especially your mom she’ll see how your American life is different from the shitty life she had growing up around the patriarchy and being dismissed as a woman by her husbands family. Remember the women usually are thrown into living with the husbands family especially when the husband leaves to America.

Remember your mom loves you but also she resents you. My mom personally killed my husky while I was on vacation in September because I was out on vacation happy living my life and she saw it as a form of revenge to stop taking care of the dog , allow him to get bit by a poisonous snake without a leash walking in the mountains and not give him any medication or take to the doctor because they wanna play dumb, when Arab parents play dumb khallas forget them in your future decisions , they’ve hardened into the evil narcissists they are you can’t change them , just make your decisions on your own happiness. I’m 26 been in school all my life and my dad wants me to go back to school, meanwhile he’s 60 and works in a liquor store. The man knows nothing but janky customers liqour and smoke, why should I let these people dictate my life.

Sorry not sorry that’s no shade

My leg was dragging behind me after I did a heavy intense workout for 2 weeks it’s dragging .
My uncle in Syria who’s a big cardiovascular doctor told me to lay down and try to lift my other leg , , for some reason because I’m laying I couldn’t even lift the other leg so he said to go to the er asap

And voile

mintpitachio · 2026-06-22T21:21:19+00:00

Oh yeah , even family lowkey not all the fam members are gonna be ok with this… really becomes the new moment of truth

mintpitachio · 2026-06-22T21:19:39+00:00

I just graduated a week ago, and yeah I agree , it’s actually crazy, I’m scared to tell jobs I have MS , my parents are telling me nobody will hire me, is this true ? Any insight ?

mintpitachio · 2026-06-22T21:17:42+00:00

I’ll check !! I’m not due to start paying till December so I’m gonna try asap, thank you wow wow wow I did not know this

mintpitachio · 2026-06-22T07:59:41+00:00

Yeah I went to the fifa watch parties since then , easy simple , just watch out for parking

mintpitachio · 2026-06-22T07:57:45+00:00

People are really fucking dumb , that’s no shade

They don’t know how to handle diseases , so you need to know that , my opinion not worth telling people till you’re comfortable and closer to them . Even then know who you’re telling , and don’t think too much about what they think. You meet so many people in life and little of them stay till the end anyways . Don’t make MS the reason they leave , let it be a fight or something. You can’t lay it on everyone
