I’m not sure on the psychosis part specifically, but it took me many, many years of trying it over and over with different friends in different ways before I finally figured out that it just doesn’t work for me. My body’s endocannabinoid system appears to be in great balance and marijuana of any kind throws it completely out of whack.

I thought getting the spins and vomiting for hours the very first time I tried it was just because I was already drunk so I only did it after that when I was sober. But the effect was always bad and I never felt good on it, no matter what kind it was or what the social situation was.

It wasn’t until I tried some really strong stuff with a friend who was a big stoner that I realized I just shouldn’t have it because different people react to it differently and my body fuckin hates it. Every time I would do it, I would have a kind of hangover afterwards that would last for at least a day where I would just be depressed for no fucking reason. Then one time we did some really strong stuff, and I ended up sitting on the bathroom floor for hours with the spins, nearly unable to control my thoughts or communicate. It literally felt like my consciousness was drowning and it was trying to tread water just to utter a single word out of my mouth.

So, CIS? I have no clue. I’ve never asked a doctor about it, but even if it wasn’t, I wish all the propaganda around weed wasn’t just about how amazing it is and that it’s a miracle drug for everyone, because just like any substance, it truly affects different people in different ways; not all of them good.

I will happily stick to my alcohol for mind and body altering experiences because my body loves that and only has positive reactions to it.
