Hello,
Maybe only a couple of you remember me from 3 months ago. I mentioned how my experience with Cannabis was only really 4 times in 1 week. I both ingested it via oil and vaporized it (I am a 34 year old male). Definitely helped me sleep and was relaxing, but then soon after I started experiencing various symptoms. I want to share my current progress to give hope to those who experienced several months of symptoms after only very little use. I know my case is probably quite rare (due to how little I used it before these symptoms came upon me) but after scouring many forums and comments on various videos, I can attest there are some who had similar stories. So here is a bit of a break down:
Week 1
Bouts of anxiety, dizziness, tingly in face and head, and some pressure in my head.
Weeks 2-3
LOTS of anxiety, couldn’t be present with my kids, always in my head, dizziness, 2-3 headaches, lots of fatigue, loss of appetite, went to bed between 7:30 and 8pm every night. Woke up MANY times in the night. Scared I was going to be trapped like this forever. Hated being alone, needed to get outside constantly. Felt constantly restless. The HARDEST experience of my life!
Week 4
Less anxiety, still had dizziness and pressure, a little less fatigue and appetite starting to return. Feeling much better overall as I wasn’t so much “in my head”. Would occasionally get a rush of numbness and tingling to my face when I would get anxious over something that stressed me out and feel nervous and somewhat ill for the next few hours. Still did not like isolation and would always go outside with kids and be active to get distracted.
Weeks 5-6
Anxiety mostly gone, but still a bit of fatigue but could now stay up till 8pm to 8:30pm before getting too tired. Appetite back to normal. Still pressure in head and dizziness throughout the day, but not too bad as to disrupt my responsibilities. Could now read to my kid for 20 minutes without getting dizzy where I needed to stop The need to be around people isn’t as acute, but still desirable and helpful to distract my symptoms. Would laugh now and be able to read, preferably while lying down as to minimize dizziness.
Week 7
Anxiety gone. Any anxiety I now feel is more about worrying about why I still experience dizziness and pressure in my head. Only one headache this week. Had a couple of moments where I couldn’t recall something (like what my bathroom looked like) and my memory seemed ENTIRELY gone and then immediately came back. Was kinda scary and resulted in a lot of pressure in my head. Can be alone now without feeling anxious although still prefer to be with people.
Week 8
Early in the week I had a brief moment of dizziness as I turned my head too fast and it resulted in several days of having more acute dizziness then I have felt in weeks and pressure still around but not too terrible. Can stay up to 9pm or a little later without feeling too tired, (but often dizziness and pressure feels worse the more tired I get). Can sleep for 5 hours straight before waking up.
Week 9-12
Progressively getting better. The dizziness and pressure in my head is "less" and whenever I do get some negative feelings, it just feels somewhat...different. As if my symptoms are progressing through different stages of degrees and types, albeit always less and less. So very good, but good sleep is still hard to come by. Long sessions of cardio and sustained heart rate elevation often create 24-36 hours of really good feelings and minimal symptoms. Also have an occasional moment where I forget what I was thinking about or, in mid train of thought, my memory completely blanks. It comes back within seconds, but is always a bit unsettling.
Week 13 (current)
Had another "rush" to my head that I hadn't experienced in weeks. Didn't effect as hard as it did when I used to feel these weeks ago, but still bothersome, has created a buzz and pressure in my head with some dizziness that had been absent for some time. A bit of a set back, but I also see this as improvement in that it had been weeks between my last "rush" to my head. I assume as my brain chemistry wires itself aright, there are the occasional hiccups along the way.

Overall, I am SO much better then I was weeks ago. I truly believe I see a "light at the end of the tunnel" and as I look back at this diary of weeks, I can obviously see improvement. Very frustrating that so little did this to me, but cannabis isn't for everyone. And for some, how it effects our neuro chemistry is different.
I will certainly be back within a months time to post new improvements. I am VERY thankful I haven't experienced some of the symptoms many of you have who were addicted to marijuana. My situation could have been much worse.
The posts by cleanofgreen and biggiesize gave me hope.
I even have occasionally prayed for many of you and your struggle. I really believe we all get better as long as we refrain.
