Question
I'm 18 years old and I have been smoking pot on and off for three years but more frequently in the pAst year. I feel that it has made me paranoid and anti social because I always feel as though people are judging me. Will quiting smoking pot alone make these feelings go away or is the damage already done. Thank you
Hi Lonerstoner,
Smoking pot may seem harmless, but is can cause people to be paranoid, even schizophrenic. If you want to understand why some people become addicts and others not, please read:
Why Addiction to Marijuana? at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/addiction.html
Going on a hypoglycemic diet (search our web site) is the first step in the treatment of addiction.
You can also read my book "Getting off the Hook" on the internet.
