Get extremely depressed randomly while high

Whenever i'm able to, i buy a bag of weed from my friend and make it last a week. Is it normal that after smoking weed i get really depressed sometimes and seriously think about suicide? It happens randomly while im high....i fall into this thought process that makes everything seem pointless. And it's not that casual thought of suicide that most people have, it seems really serious, like i wouldn't mind dying at any moment.

    I had that last night. I smoke fairly often and occasionally I will fall into a trap of dark thoughts and all I can do is put myself down and make myself feel like shit. Stopping smoking is always a solution (not a solution for myself), or you can surround yourself with happier things like a funny movie or something thought provoking. Just don't let your mind idle so that it finds the dark places in your mind. You always have control of your high. Maybe taking a break for a bit would bring back the initial euphoric highs

    Any substance you injest has an effect on you, whether it's weed, wheat, sugar or aspirin.

    I don't think it's more complicated than that.

    For what it's worth I had a couple of friends who used to smoke weed all the time and developed schizophrenia (it's genetic). They don't smoke or do drugs now - sanity is naturally addictive!

    what isn't normal is smoking weed.

    weed makes you paranoid. that's normal. i can't get a good trip anymore, so i stopped doing it. nothing wrong with me. it's all the weed!

    weed is definitely not for everyone. when i started smoking it it was great and it still is but i realize that once i stopped smoking for about a month and got back into it it wasn't the same. I felt weird it wasn't the same high i use to get it changed. and tho i love being stoned i sometimes feel like shit when im high and i get this mood swings that put me in a bad state of mind. It isnt healthy and i khow im not the only one who has gone through this. i stil dont khow what to do to get comforable with it again and ovoid the "dark thoughts" but as im get older i feel like i have more control over myself and my mind.

    Is it normal? Who knows. Cannabis is a thought and sense amplifier. Anything you normally feel while sober, will be amplified and more expressed while high. I would recommend stopping if it makes you feel that way. Weed is not for everyone.

    My boyfriend used to smoke alot and when he stopped then started up again he got depressed alot when smoking. I don't think it's normal so maybe ur best bet is to stay away from weed.

    weed tends to have the opposite effect on people. i'm normally relaxed, but when i smoke i go hay-wire and become paranoid.
