Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello..um, is it normal for a "high" to come back? I smoked weed two weeks ago and the other day I started having this weird "high" feeling again and I haven't smoked..like, I feel really out of it and I can't focus..it's starting to really scare me. Please help me.
There are a lot of purely psychological events that occur after using marijuana. Anxiety, panic, hyperventilation are all very common and can cause some slight mental changes. With few uses, the marijuana does not build up to amounts that are detectable. The amount that is detectable--the lower limit of detection--is 100 fold or less than the amount that normally occurs while smoking and too little to be felt.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman
