Does cannabis affect you very poorly like me? Like almost psychosis?

I had that reaction a few times in my teens before i was diagnosed and medicated. These days, it does the opposite of what you described. I become relaxed, less anxious and my sleep improves. I find it to be a very good mood stabilizer/anti depressant and I am a medical patient for that reason. It agrees with me well.

I can’t drink coffee at all though. One large iced coffee and I’m on my way to manic town. I love the high of it but it gets unmanageable very quickly. Racing thoughts, inability to focus and physical shaking is no fun. Never mind the fact that I wouldn’t sleep right for at least 1-2 nights. I feel like caffeine is way worse for me than cannabis.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
