Marijuana Caused Permanate Vision Problems, Maybe Neurelogical Or Something HELP?

[batman198765KD]

So, I smoked a ton everyday for a long time, maybe a year or more, then thats when the vision problems started happening. The way a person sees when high, not the feeling, but the vision, stayed with me all the time when I was sober, I stoped for about three months one time, and it got hardly any at all better. I must stress that its far from normal vision. I have looked online asked on yahoo answers and I havnt found anything even slightly similar to my problem. Someone sugested that enstead of my eyes being the problem, that maybe its neurilogical*. maybe its because I smoked so much for so long and it doesnt get out of my syatem as it does everyone else or something? Please health profesinals take this question seriously... idk where else to turn for what and why this happened. Im sure it is bc of smoking pot though. seeing as the way I see *** normal now, is liek the bassis of what one sees when high... please help me out with this... thanks, any and all answweers are very much apreciated.

Sweetpea03 is right, you need to see a doctor and get checked out.  You also need to be honest with the doctor about what you have done.  They are required by law to have patient-doctor confidentiality unless they believe you are hurting yourself or someone else (which doesn't apply in your case).  There is nothing more we can do online to help you, you need to be seen in person by a doctor.

did this problem ever go away??? i smoked pot 2 weeks ago and my vision is messed up i see things as if i was high and im not and im forgetting things easily im really scared and dont know if it will go away

No matter what you should get your eyes checked. There are doctor/patient confidentiality rules, so you need to be honest about any drugs you have taken and the doctors are not allowed to discuss it with anyone else. I don't know of any other medical websites, but you are free to google it and search around.

true. but I like to be very careful about telling people that I smoked pot and all that, for the reason that they may take higher measures and get pololice involved or something, I worry about that. but true, it could be something else making it react the way it did with me, or maybe, by a small chance, back when it first happened the pot was laced with something other that just that, and it messed my vision up, but idk if that would be the case or not.... I wish other people would give their medical opinions on this so I have more to go by.... do you by any chance know of any other good medical sites similar to this where i can post my problem and get medical advice from people?

It may not be marijuana related, but either way, you still should have your eyes checked. Make an appointment with your optometrist about having vision problems. If they ask about drug use, be honest about it or you can tell them when you get there that you smoked pot often. Everyone is different, and you may have an underlying medical condition that is making your vision react the way it is. Though the only way to find out would be to make the doctor's appointment.

no I havnt had them checked, what am I supose to say, I smoked a ton of pot and I think it messed up my vision, will it ever go away and so on.... Ive nver heard of this happening to others that smoked, well even more than me for longer amounts of time... soo I just dont understand, but everyone is differnt, maybe this is just really rare or something?? ugh....

The other person is right in that the longer you smoke or do a drug, the longer it can stay in your system. The main ingredient in marijuana, THC, can stay in your system for a very long time if it is absorbed into fatty tissues of various organs. Have you had your eyes checked by an optometrist?
