I think I had a taste of psychosis after smoking too much weed one time: I totally lost the sense of time, my brain was overflowing with all kinds of thoughts and fears, had some auditory hallucinations and totally misinterpreted people's behavior (everyone suddenly seemed hostile). Then a panic attack followed and I felt stuck in some crazy time loop that would never end. That's why i don't experiment with marijuana or other psychoactive substances, the effects are too similar to a mental illness in my case.

Good for you (and dfischer) for recognizing this reaction and removing this item from your diet as a result.

I love weed (smoking some right now) and feel that I strongly benefit from having it in my diet, but I have a lot of respect for people who remove it to their own improvement.

This is what happened when I smoke weed and because of it I avoid it.
