Your brain needs to work overtime to process the chemical insult from the marijuana. Add some G force trauma and your brain was really struggling.
Neither of these behaviors is going to be good for the long term health of your brain.

Ok guys, I actually submitted the thread without finishing it by accident....

After doing extensive research, I have come to the conclusion that marijuana helps head injuries. Also, watch Dr. Sanjay CNN youtube video and around the 38 mark he talks about how when given marijuana shortly after a head injury it reverses damage(I think that's what he said...I'm baked).
So, where I left off,
Today is two days later, it appears there is quite a bit more damage than initially suspected. My head is super sensitive. Today, looking in the mirror, my eyes look different sizes than the other (eyes are usually even) and they have this weird lifeless look....I notice my head is more swollen than before (it was already swelled). This is not good.....
I am wondering, what is the thing with my eyes? I'm baked, so that may be it. It's not usually like than when I'm baked though. I'm going to email my neurologist right now and try to get an appointment and see what he thinks. I will report back. Right now I'm waiting to get into another rehab program because I have moved away....
** I think that roundabout drift has set me back quite some
