Question
Well my question is about the aftermath of weed. Well I used aweed a couple times and then I had a really bad reaction but then it went awwy. After two weeks, I felt another attack and its been three months now that I have felt like I am still high and I dont know what to do about it. I have been to the hospital many tomes and they can not find nothing about these headaches that are on the top of my and it feels like it will never go away. Well I am 13 years old and I hope you can help me. Please write back.

Answer
Hi Luca,

Firstly, I would need some more information about what you are feeling.  It is possible that the headaches are totally unrelated to the weed, or maybe it is related.  When you say you feel high still, do you feel the same as when you were smoking?  When you go to the hospital have you been able to explain everything to them?  I know it can be hard to tell people that you have smoked drugs, especially at such a young age, but if you think the problem is related to the weed, then you do need to tell the doctors.

So, at this stage, basically what I am saying is I need a bit more info.  However, if you feel that your symptoms are getting worse, it is important that you seek medical help.  You might like to read up about some of the effects of marijuana.  Overall, all drug can have bad effects, and they all can have good ones too.  Check out this site: http://www.communitybuilders.nsw.gov.au/download/marijuana.pdf
