I think the weed is frying up your brains..

Solutions: stop smoking weed and/or stop smoking weed with friends and/or stop drinking cola (or kola).

If you were raped you would have had some sort of an indication, clothes, marks on your body, fluids in or your genital area that don't belong there.

Now, even if you were raped, there is nothing you can do about it. Proving it to the police is practically impossible since you were drugged up so just move on.

well no one will know for sure but it was prob a bad dream or hallucination that occurred because of smoking the weed
it can have some bizarre effects on ppl
i wont lecture you know you should not smoke it



the only way to find out for sure if you were raped is to have a medical test to determine that you were raped

best wishes

Maybe your paranoid, but weed makes you sleepy. If it made yu feel numb, it might have been laced. but i highly doubt it.

smoking alot of weed

There are certainly cases where so-called "date rape" drugs have been administered to rape victims and have certainly rendered them unconscious and inert. I've read or heard of some of the cases. Afterwards the women seem to know or sense that something has happened — fragments of memory, physical signs, etc. — but, of course, the rapist's response, depending I guess on the level of the victim's subsequent awareness, is that it either didn't happen or it was consensual. Maybe at some point while you were high you were slipped such a drug. But I also know that being imaginative and, yes, having OCD, in combination with a drug that can cause an inability to remember later what happened — a so-called "blackout" which alcohol is most commonly associated with — can cause a person to fill that memory gap with morbid possibilities and self-suggestions. I wasn't aware that marijuana was associated with blackouts; from what I recall, the thing that's most talked about regarding memory and marijuana is the debilitating effects on short-term memory that can be caused by long-term use, but that wouldn't be the same as a blackout. There does seem to be a certain quality in the way you describe the situation that suggests it may be imagined. And depending on what the nature is of your feelings and opinion about the brother, why you would suspect him, etc., that could strengthen the notion that it was imaginary or the notion that it really happened. Obviously, no one wanting to help you wants to encourage you to think it imaginary if it really happened. But also it seems to me that you don't really think it happened. From the cases I've read, even including women who were sedated in doctors' offices and then raped by the doctor, women seem to have a very strong sense afterwards that it really happened, and maintain this conviction no matter who doubts them, but that may not always be the case. The part you added about rape obsessions since childhood, that certainly goes into the category that adds to the likelihood that it didn't really happen. And remember, OCD means having unwanted, intrusive thoughts. That's going to include thoughts that are part of OCD but that others might describe as paranoid. For example, an OCD symptom could be obsessing that pills are poisoned; medication, even vitamins. The OCD may speculate that they were tampered with in the store in order to make the thought theoretically possible. (I know, it sounds like OCDs look for reasons to obsess as if they liked it, but they don't. That "looking for reasons" is part of the intrusive thoughts they can't control.) Now, someone not acquainted with OCD may say "that's paranoid." Well, in the common, vernacular sense of the word it is paranoid. But in the psychiatric sense it's not paranoia. It's a symptom of OCD. The other thing that sometimes distinguishes the two, although not necessarily always, is that the OCD knows the thoughts are excessive and irrational even though they can't help thinking them. A paranoid delusion is just that; it's a delusion. The sufferer has no doubt it happened. OCDs are not delusional. But also remember the old saying that, "even paranoids have real enemies." Likewise, even OCDs may once in a blue moon have an obsessive thought that proves true. Hope that helps a little.
