Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

The effects you have described after smoking cannabis are its normal effects due to its hallucinogenic effect. Since your friends are habituated to it, they have developed tolerance to this effect. Since you take it occasionally, the effects are more prominent. The effect on the ear might be related to cannabis smoking.

It is best to avoid cannabis smoking as your body is comparatively more sensitive to its effects.

Marijuana use is associated with otitis media, cochlear defects and higher sensory abnormalities.
I understand that it is a very difficult situation for you. But you need to quit cannabis for your better health.

If following your friends means putting your life at risk and ending up with nothing, don't you think it is better to be done away with such friends because of whom you are spoiling your health and life?

Please think about it, what will you gain by smoking cannabis other than ruining your health? Nothing, you will only end up being ridiculed by your peers. It is a loss to you in both ways.

I urge you to seek help from a councilor to help you get rid of the wrong notion about substance use and lead a productive and happy life.

I hope this answers your query effectively.

In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
