This poll is here to hopefully diminish the belief that only smoking/ingesting/inhaling (etc.) drugs MANY, MANY times (we're talking years) can cause any major disorders. For me, I smoked marijuana less then 10x and the last time the high just never went away. When I tell health practitioners this, they have a hard time believing me until I show them the scientific papers which show this. I know that the frequency with which you had the drug(s), what drug(s) it was/is, and other things that were going on in your life play a role but this poll is here to address only the number of times. So even if you used 3 different drugs each 2 times, count that as 6x.

·I had only smoked pot 4 or 5 times in small quanitys. And as in your case one of the times I just never came down from the high.
There was always a guilt, a voice that said you did this to your self.
I also experienced extreme highs from small amounts when I smoked while I had dp.

·i smoked more than enough chronic for everyone on this website
100 + unfortunatly

I smoked pot and Hash daily for 1 year.
Did acid, mescaline, mush almost each week-ends during that year.
I started feeling weird during the day...without smoking so I stopped.
The weirdness did not !
It took me about 3 years to find out it was anxiety.
3 more years to hear about DP/DR
And it's been 10 years since I stopped smoking and got DP/DR

·I smoked weed like 5 times, last time I never came down from the high. I'm over it now. I don't regret anything. I learned from my mistake. May have been hard but there isn't a damn thing that can make me regret it. Regretting doesnt get you anywhere and it sure as hell doesn't do anything for your mental state.

I smoked pot probably 50 times or so over a three or four year period (and this before most of you were born). Not that much, compared to most of my peers. Towards the end, I believe I realized the absolute truth of my own existence, and from this I have never recovered.

·I think my dp was caused by psychiatric drugs, namely, antidepressants. I took antidepressants for months, meanwhile enduring incredible anxiety. They changed my personality, and made me suicidal. When I stopped abruptly, the bipolar symptoms I had originally taken the drugs to relieve didn't return. Instead, a horrible emptiness, riddled with panic attacks took over my life. I haven't been myself since.
I had smoked pot countless times, had done mushrooms once and ecstasy about five times. My DP first started when I was 19, and I had a panic attack a night after ecstasy and heavy drinking. It went away after a couple of days but came back about two months later after heavy drinking. Then it started becoming chronic. I'm sure the ecstasy helped trigger the panic attack. My drinking was the worst thing by far. Ever since I was about 14 or 15, I would go out and get absolutely smashed both weekend night. During the summers, I would probably get wasted 3-4 nights a week. Once I was in college, I probably drank 5 nights a week, 3 of which I would get smashed. I had (I guess I still do) problems blacking out. I would at least black out partially half the times I got wasted. I only had 1 other friend who blacked out like I did, so I should have taken that as a sign. A bad thing for me is that my stomach never told me when to stop. I hardly ever threw up, even when I had extended black-out sessions. I'm sure that had a lot to do with my anxiety and probably my DP.
