Questions: Marihuana/Diazepam/Viagra
 
Almost 5 years ago I had a serious concussion, ignorant as I was I never took time to heal and kept working and partying until i dropped "dead" on the floor.
5 years later I can function normal, but I’m not able to drink alcohol or smoke weed ever since (serious headaches after one zip or one puff).

I can live without the alcohol but not being able to smoke weed for the last 5 years is very hard. I dream almost every night about smoking weed, and when I smell it when other people around me are smoking it, I get super depressed.

the questions I have are:

a) The weed we smoke around is here is super high THC. Has anyone experienced the same as my story and tried weed without THC and only smoked CBD(medical weed) and didn’t experienced any headaches?

b) My vision is still, I will not say blurry, but i see kind of stars the whole time. Is it a risk to take Diazepam(Valium) recreational and get serious vision problems?

c) Did anyone take Viagra in mine situation and experienced headaches or other problems (discreption said u can have vision problems)

d) As you can read, I’m trying in some type of way to get high or feel something other than sober ** Any of you have advice?

Diazepam is not good for people with PCS. It is a benzo and should only be used in minimal doses for short time periods.

Viagra causes headaches for many. It is also not good for people with PCS. It gives me a headache for the day after taking it. I forget exactly but I stopped taking it because I read it has a negative impact on a PCS brain.

I wish I could help you further.

Tnx for your reply.
what are the risks of taking a Valium(Diazepam). If i could take it without getting headaches/vision problems, im planning on taking it once in a few weeks.

I tried to hang out and chill with the guys, but when everybody is getting drunk and high it makes me ******* depressed for the last five years!

I was told to stay away from intoxicants due to my MTBI/PCS when I was 15 (1970). I never had a problem enjoying myself around friends who were getting buzzed. I had to realize that I was as free to act as stupid or goofy/foolish/uninhibited as them. So, I would just let my guard down and enjoy myself and my friends and not be a risk. And, I would remember the evening.

Let their attitude be contagious. It is not hard to do.

i understand what you are saying, but its hard to miss something you never had.

u were just starting (since you were 15) with partys and hanging out so u never knew better. I had the time of my life until i was 27, then all of a sudden u have to turn your life around. I dont know, but its hard to adjust and feel real good.

even though i have a great career and i function good at work. In my private life the only thing that gives me some type of good feeling is having s*x.

My friends used to say, "How'd you have so much fun? You weren't drinking."
They made other comments, too, because I was usually all business.

In my experience, most people start to settle down at 27 or thereabouts.

You may have also had some personality changes that make it difficult to experience pleasure. This is not uncommon with PCS and/or depression.

Yeah regular weed out here contains lots of THC. But there are seeds/plants that contain very low THC and high CBD. I never tried it and its hard to get without a doctor.

Yes, any "dealer" would have no reason to carry, sell, ect high CBDs because they have no psychoactive effects. I guess there customers would say its no good?

I suggest to any and all to make sure that your DR knows all medications you are on.
