Drug Induced Psychosis

Drug Induced psychosis

There are many different effects of drugs. Long term and short term. One of the effects of drugs such as cannabis for example, is that it can bring on drug-induced psychosis. Drug induce psychosis occurs when there is a chemical imbalance in the brain.
 You may have something called a psychotic episode. This is when you believe something that isn’t necessarily true, or happening. It can be awfully scary and emotional for loved ones to watch. A psychotic episode can last for any amount of time, days, weeks or months and needs medication to be treated.

Cannabis is a psychoactive drug.
 In cannabis there is a chemical called tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as T.H.C.  The more T.H.C, the more strength to the cannabis. It is estimated in 2004 that about 4% of the world’s adult population used cannabis, that’s 162 million people. There are many forms of cannabis, such as:
 Cannabis-herbal form
 Hashish
 Hash oil
 Kief
 Residue
I suffered from a psychotic episode. During my episode I believed I was a dancer on a ship. This went on for weeks. I also believed I was in the F.B.I. It wasn’t scary for me when I was actually going through it, but now looking back it is, as I had no control over what I believed to be reality. No matter what anyone says to discourage you, what you believe is true! It was heart breaking for my relatives to watch. They thought I was going crazy. To a certain extent I was.
You might here someone that smokes cannabis say, ‘it s potent’ this means strong smelling, likely to be strong cannabis
Asides from drug induce-psychosis it will affect your mood, your heart rate by increasing it and lower your blood pressure.

There have been debates on whether cannabis has any medical use. Cannabis is a promising treatment for specific, pain related medical conditions such as HIV and multiple sclerosis.

Cannabis is the most widely used illegal drug in Britain. Made from parts of the cannabis plant, it’s a naturally occurring drug. It is a mild sedative (often causing a chilled out feeling or actual sleepiness) and it’s also a mild hallucinogen (meaning you may experience a state where you see objects and reality in a distorted way and may even hallucinate). The main active compound in cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

 When rolling a joint, it is said to be a ritual. Many different people have many different ways of rolling up. It can be fiddly, messy and a disaster if you don’t know how to roll a tight joint. You may not even be able to smoke it if it is too badly rolled. Its nothing to glamorise anyway, although some people say that cannabis helps you to relax and chill out but there are always consequences. Some people say that it depends on the individual to whether or not you are likely to suffer from drug induce-psychosis. They might have a weaker tolerance than the average Joe. It’s your choice smoke dope or just cope.
