What Can Be The Reason For Having Problem With Sense Of Touch?

Hi. I have a problem with my sense of touch. A couple of months ago I smoked k2 (a legal marijuana-like substance) and got mostly a body high where if I touched something I wouldn t feel it right away. Also, when i touched my skin it felt like it rippled for a second and my hands were shaking. I haven t smoked in about 3 months and I occasionally get the feeling for short periods of time, especially when I wake up. I got the feeling this morning and it has yet to subside and was pretty strong around lunch time. The intensity of it has varied throughout the day. Is it still the k2 in my system or something else?

Hi
Long-term complications of chronic marijuana are as Concentration problems
Memory problems, Learning difficulty etc esp Psychological dependence is the problem. From your query it is not clear that how long you consumed it.

If the consumption was for short period then there are no chances that you will have problem in sense of touch (sensory loss). Sensory loss is a complication seen in chronic alcoholics, Diabetics, B12 deficiency, Hereditary.

If the consumption history is long then problems like Respiratory diseases,
Schizophrenia can be there. In any case sensory loss is not seen.

Kindly get yourself evaluated from your physician to rule out the diseases I mentioned.
Take Care
