I smoked about 12 joints in 6 months and then quit (the marijuana was hydroponic), will my brain heal?

Question

So, I smoked about 12 times, maybe 2 more from bongs, of hydroponic marijuana (some not hydro, but mostly hydro) Hydro is supposed to be the worst type of weed, I recently emerged from clinical deppression and developed an axiety disorder as a result... :(, Im really worried that my brain wont heal (I didnt do that much, or for thay long I dont think) Im 16 years old, will my brain heal?

Answer 1

A) Hydroponically grown marijuana is actually "better" for you than non hydroponically grown. Hydro is very simply the growing of plants without soil.

B) Yes, your brain will heal. Regardless of whether or not your anxiety disorder and marijuana use is related, the average brain "heals" from daily marijuana use in about 6 months. Daily meaning you smoking around a quarter of an ounce or more a week.

C) I would avoid smoking altogether if you have any history of clinical depression or anxiety disorders. I am not a doctor, but if I were in your position i would avoid smoking.  

Answer 2

Yes, your brain will heal, but only if you don't smoke anymore marijuana.  Seriously, you have nothing to worry about.

Answer 3

It will heal mostly. Depression could linger a few years otherwise I don't see alot of hope for you.  

Answer 4

What? Heal?

The weed has nothing to do with any of your problems. You are using it as a scapegoat. You smoking that little of an amount of weed can cause nothing negative.  

Answer 5

your brain will never heal just when you think your all right you will have a seaser a out break of some kind once you fry your brain you will never be the same  you will only get more STUPID than you were be for  you started to bad

Answer 6

If damage has been done, especially to your brain, you are not going to get that back.

Despite what some of these 'experts' say you will never know.  You may suffer from anxiety and depression later or you may have difficulty studying or learning a new job later in life, you are never going to know if it was a result of drug use.

When you go to have kids later in life, you may be sterile or at the very least take a long time to get your partner pregnant.

Who knows??

These are the dumb risks you take when taking drugs at this age when you think you are 10 foot tall, bullet proof and nothing bad can possibly happen to you.

Answer 7

Marijuana does not harm your brain.

Answer 8

Absolutely.. Yes.  I smoked waaayyyyy more than that & combatted the same thing (anxiety + depression).. i smoked all thru highschool and then some in college.  I finally made a choice to quit at 22 and never looked back.

You'll feel better in a matter of weeks, and be completely back to normal in a few months.  After a short time, I went back to school and got a Masters degree with straight A's (and I had horrible grades in highschool & college before that).

Glad you got the sense to quit early well before any real damage could occur!

Answer 9

YES it will. Your body is going to renew itself and you dont' need to worry about this. You didn't  smoke that much, not like years of daily use.  Everything in moderation. It may not be helping if you have depression, I would work on finding a way to address those other issues. Work on meditation, positive affirmation, you can reprogram yourself to be happy and content!

Answer 10

First of all, have a solid belief that your brain has been already healed.

Wrt brain issues, your belief is the most influencing factor. Watch the movie "The Secret" to check what I mean.

All the best!!

Answer 11

first off marijuana doesnt cause brain damage in any way at all.  its one of the safest substances known to man.  second hydro isnt a quality of weed.  it refers to the fact that it was grown hydroponically.  maybe you should keep smoking if you have anxiety, its one of the best medicines there is.
