Does anyone know if marijuana is known to enable the inner monologue or anti-depressants perhaps? I smoked a lot of weed a few years ago and began hearing my own inner voice. Unfortunately, I began hearing a lot of other voices too which has taken its toll. I wonder if this is a common occurrence? Can drugs enable a persons inner monologue?

Has anyone found that their inner monologue (ability to speak inside head with inner monologue) was suddenly enabled when they began hearing auditory voices (quiet voices in head)? I suddenly began hearing voices a few years ago but I was born without an inner monologue. So, it was very startling to not only hear auditory voices but also have the ability to subvocally speak back to the voices and converse with them. Is this common? I wonder if too much marijuana might have enabled an inner monologue? Now that I have one, it’s difficult to control and I think I’m really just hearing myself act out different character voices in my head.
