Think of why you guys are paranoid... It’s not the fact that you are high, more likely that what you are doing is illegal and you could be in serious trouble with any number of people for whatever reason if they were to find out. You have an illegal substance inside your body and just being near someone in possession of the ganje or even some simple paraphernalia with residue could ruin your next few months or years bigtime. You are paranoid because there ARE people conspiring against you! Think about it there is a war on plants that they deem verboten and therefore a war on people that they feel are no longer protected under their rights and freedoms, because they are the enemies in a war. That’s you and me, enemies of the most powerful governing body in the world. My point is you should be paranoid if you are not smart enough about you habits to be safe from persecution.
...no. It's just because he's high. Even in a group of friends, people can freak out and feel alienated or paniced. It can do that to you sometimes.
I guess I only get paranoid about what might actually hurt me. I've felt alienated while high but I think for good reason. The irrational fear comes from the anxiety of being high while doing something you might feel is wrong (being high). I don’t like doing things that might get me in trouble while high, but the crazy part is sometimes just being high can be considered something very wrong. Crazyness, I wish we could just enjoy it in freedom.
I agree, I haven't heard anything more intelligent, in my life. I think I get paraniod because I have in the back of my mind that its illegal, and wrong, If I didn't live in a society that looked at pot as a bad thing, I doubt I would think if I where to smoke I'd be doing a bad thing. Im glad I read this thread, I appricate what I have learned, I want to say thanks. I give my love and I give my peace.
Well that is sweet of you prettypurplestar, thank you! I am glad you agree, spread the word. We shouldn’t have to be afraid of them!
I disagree pot has been fucking with my head alot and where i live possesion only results in a small fine, the same as a speeding ticket really.
You don't fear persecution from the law yet you still have and irrational fear while high. Fear of some other form of persecution? Does fucking with you head mean paranoia, or some other emotion?
Yeah when I was smokin the stuff it had this same effect on me and a few people I know. Our social group consisted of 2 or three bands and people we knew and then it was like some of us started feeling that uneasiness and social dysfunction and became antagonists to the others who we thought were all bourgeois etc and that we knew stuff blah blah blah in the end we became known as the death squad crew and the social groups all changed round and split apart a bit - after that I gave up smoking and life got good again
That only happens with 'creeper pot'. It's like you smoke a joint and it gives you a little buzz. Leaves you thinking 'that should have gotten me high, not just buzzed.' Then BAM your stoned. It's so awesome. I miss 'creeper'.
Sounds like a psychotic reaction, remember you're ingesting a drug, and it will affect your brain. Seems to happen to a lot of people, lay off the drugs for a while. Cool? Bustramp
I've experienced this. For me this happens all the time, so I've always assumed it was the brain's natural reaction to pot. I even came up with a theory. You inhale this foreign substance, your body reacts by resisting for a short while and then, when it deems it safe, it stops resisting and BAM!!! Just a theory.
pot is gonna give ya some kinda psychosis especially if you're a long time smoker. it's not permanent though, and the trick is just hacking it. it's not that hard. think outside of the box, and you shouldn't have any problems as a stoner.
1. Good idea to stop once in awhile. 2. Less is more. The less you smoke the higher you get. 3. Pot can affect your heart because you're coating your lungs - you tend to breathe slower and shallower - getting less oxygen - heart pumps harder on orders from your brain. So take slow deep yoga breaths - that should slow down your heart & calm you. 4. You could be smoking very strong shit - which can make you panic. 5. Certain varieties of cannabis (often strong ones) affect your body more. 5. You could be smoking shit that wasn't grown & cured properly. 6. All sorts of contaminants could be affecting you from mold (esp. if allergic) to improperly flushed nutrients to bug spray to fungicides. So: a. try a different variety of smoke from a different source b. take a nice long break as you suggested c. Take fewer, smaller hits and wait longer between hits. d. Grow your own (if it's legal where you are) so you can control the quality. e. See a doctor because you might actually have a condition like high blood pressure and smoking anything might not be good for you. Cannabis can be ingested in other ways if you need it for medicine.
And that is the truth! Plants like stinging nettles fuck with me, though. Nettles should be illegal. They are torturous.
I agree. Fucking nettles, when I was younger I went out on a summer's day in shorts and t-shirt, tripped over straight into the biggest nettle bush (well, hundreds of nettles, might as well of been a bush) and screamed like a bitch. I've never felt pain like it. Thinking back, I can actually recall the feeling. My entire body was covered in fuckin stings
I used to be like that a lot, about a year ago. I figured out there was a lot wrong with my mindset and outlook on life. Fixed myself, weed's great now. I dont think weed can make you depressed or paranoid, it just brings it out of you. Try to solve any kind of inner conflict you might have.
Personally, I think that when it is fucking with your head, it is because you are feelling guilty about smoking. I think that if you are feeling guilty about it, it makes you paranoid. some strains, are especially paranoia prone also, try a good indica, and stay away from those heady sativas I quit smoking two months ago until I find a job more compatible with smoking. Right now my job has me responsible for other people's lives in a very dangerous situation, and if someone should get hurt or killed, I would not be able to live with myself if I had been stoned when it happened. (Not sure if I will be able to live with myself even if I am not stoned) For a couple of months, I thought that I could just get some fake piss and carry it with me all the time to cover me in case of accidents, but after seing a half dozen situations where folks were nearly or actually hurt and there was nothing I could do to prevent it, I just decided I better put the weed down until a different job comes along. Believe me, I am job hunting like a mofo right now. I was feelling so guilty every time I packed a big green hairy bowl, that I just had to stop. It was really messing with my head too, so I feel ya man. Now I dream about big sugary buds on a weekly basis, so I guess my psych needs it too. Peace....
