Can long time marijuana use lead to permanent nervous system damage?!


Question: Can long time marijuana use lead to permanent nervous system damage!?
I smoked marijuana for two and a half years just about every day!. I stopped for a couple of months, then smoked again, and I had my first very intense anxiety attack!. After this happened, my anxiety continuously increased getting worse and worse!. I noticed throughout my anxiety attacks, and especially in the first one I had, that my vision was REALLY disoriented and it felt like everything was spinning or flipping over!. My heart rate was very fast too!.

I went to the doctor for my anxiety and they did an ANSAR test on me!. They said my sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system(s) were imbalanced and abnormally high!. I was prescribed to Alprazolam for my anxiety but it is no longer working for me!.

I get extreme anxiety when I'm not high on marijuana now too!. I've stopped smoking because it gives me a horrible anxiety attack and I think sometimes I even hyperventilate!.

I have heard studies about marijuana causing anxiety and depression, so I would like some insight!. Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Absolutely, it can cause nervous system problems!. But, it doesn't take long at all!. Depression usually appears in marijuana users because their tolerance for it has built up so much that it no longer makes them 'happy'!. Instead, it does the exact opposite!. It does this when the user isn't using as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes, weed is a medicine, its not good to take when u dont need it, just like other medicines, if u take to much bad things can happen, and your weed may have been laced with something stronger like speen or extacy!.!.!. prolly was most weed is!. unless u kno it was home grown!. otherwise it was laced!. only take it when u need it! weed is a cancer treatement and pain killer, just take it wehn u need it only!. and eat it cuz eating it doesnt do as much damage, it will still work, it just will take longer to work!. peace, take care of uself!. exersize!. eat healthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I grew up with parents that smoked!. I dont view it as bad because it never stopped my parents from being great parents and providing a good live!. I saw them get up and go to work everyday, we had our home and they had 2 rental properties in my eyes life was great!.

My mother passed away in 2006 but my father is still here, and he still smokes his pot and I dont know of any nervous system damage!. I'm sure he has never been tested for it either, and I have been around him plenty when he was on it and he is definately not anxious or nervous!.

Anyway, I would assume it affects people differently, but standing on the outside looking in, I am 99!.9% sure it has not affected my parents the way it has affected you, and they were/are longtime users!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
