Pot is fucking with me

never...but then again I don't smoke

 

pot is an entity and a very powerful one.

She uses you for her own purposes as much as you use her.

If you always remeber that you will be fine


I voted everytime because pot is fucking with me but Im also fucking with her.

Every time

 

I was an every day smoker for a long time. It sure fucked with my head then, I've been on a break for about 2 months now and feel fantastic. Moderation and set/setting and you'll be good.

 

I never said weed is all I think about. And I'm sorry but to me, doing something with my life is not just simply to get money. If I want to do something with my life, I'm going to enjoy it, I'm going to help others, I'm going to discover myself, I'm going to try to learn as much as I can. I see nothing wrong if I don't have everything perfectly sorted out the moment I turn 18. I do have some plans for the future though and since at this age I have so few responsibilities I intend to enjoy the next couple of years.

 

i hate sarcasm

 

Had that problem! Didn't enjoy weed....

I think I may still have that problem but still enjoy the shit out of it.

 

don't know if it's been said...long thread....but pot makes ya a bit more aware of your body's cries than usual. if you have alot of anxiety or bad habits stuffed away, pot'll bring it out.

 

Great point. I've thought about it like that but never put it into words.

 

I agree. I've had lots of occasions when I was stoned on pot and thought I could "sense" what was going on in my body. Maybe I was just making it up in my head, but I could sense things like the caffein I had consumed earlier coursing through my veins - it was like my veings were telling me they didn't appreciate the high blood pressure.

I can also sense things going on in my stomach. Like I can tell exactly when all my food has been digested and then flushed into the intestines. It's like a sudden flushing sensation, like a bunch of weight has been lifted from my stomach and it feels lighter, more satisfied. In fact, a few seconds after this I start to get hungry again.

 

Maybe you need to find a new dealer?

 

Couldn't have heard it better
ive switched to nothing but Indica for now
then I'm gonna quit for lifegaurding and start back
up. It's a wonderful cycle.

 

one time my friend convinced me that we were in a different city while we were eating Chinese and i believed him until we got outside and i was freaking out.

 

Where's the "yeah it happens often ( but not everytime)" option?
Well anyway I voted everytime coz yeah, to a certain degree pot always makes me more paranoid then what I would be if sober.

Dont get that when I smoke alone, but it happens alsmot everytime if I smoke with other ppl.

 

I've smoked for years, and I've always had a love/hate relationship with Mary Jane.

It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one who gets affected by marijuana like this! Most people I've confided in about my pot anxieties cannot relate. Most people say that weed makes them feel tired, or at least they can sleep good while high- not me! I cannot sleep while I'm high, I just think way too much. It makes my body feel tired, sure, but my mind gets super stimulated by the herb. So much so that it's pretty much impossible to fall asleep while stoned..

Ok now I'll try to explain the mind-fuck marijuana sometimes gives me. It's like an uncontrollable anxiety that weighs down on me.. a common theme is thinking I'm going to die, like others in this thread have described. It's a totally irrational thought, but hard to control when I'm really high.. Also I can get paranoid about cops, like getting pulled over and arrested, or even SWAT teams breaking down the door with guns to my face.. especially if I'm somewhere that I'm not completely comfortable at.

It really sucks that I get this way with weed sometimes, because I love smoking in many ways! I find that once I get past the feelings of anxiety and paranoia, I really enjoy the after-effects of being high.. you know, the part where you get the munchies and feel a kind of after-glow. The anxiety stuff usually comes immediately after smoking, within the first 20 minutes or so. After I get past that stage I usually really enjoy my high.. and that's why I still smoke.

I've found that drinking a little alcohol or even xanax/valium before I smoke helps immensely with the anxiety with smoking. Like someone else said, it dumbs me down and so when I smoke I come back up to find a nice balance. Also, being around people I know and trust, as well as being in an environment I'm comfortable in. I try to avoid smoking anywhere I'm not comfortable.. that really helps.

I just think some people have to be more cautious with certain drugs than other people. Marijuana effects people differently, and for those of us who have the anxiety problem with weed, well we just have to learn how to cope with it. I'm interested in learning of ways other people have learned to deal with it. Maybe we can help each other get past the mind-fuck in order to simply enjoy cannabis. Because it truly is a drug worth enjoying!

 

Somebody mentioned ginseng to counteract paranoia. Gonna try it soon!

 

heres a tip, when your high think about something that interests you alot,besides dope, I try to get my mind off of weed completely, and focus more on the conversation that the peeps around me are talking about, try it.

 

Weed always fucks with me... the only highs I had that I did not get paranoid were like my first 4-5 highs.... Sometimes I just start thinking about wierd shit that drive me crazy! I mean sometimes its realy deep shit but I start going nuts... sometimes its something stupid like what people think of me at school.... And EVERYTIME i smoke weed I say to myself " NEVER AGAIN!!!!!" lol I havent smoked in a while now...its been about 4-5 months now since my last smoke.....

 

pot has made me antisocial before, but never like that..
quitting for a bit should help u apprieciate it more.

 

Yea that "thinking your going to die" shit happened to my ex once. it depends on if you drinking at the same time, that shit can turn on you quick

 

I get mild anxity through out daily life and ocaisonaly when Ismoke it becomes very intense gonna try some antianxity meds to counteract, see how that works,but thats why I stay away from trippin cause if weed hits me the wrong way it will probaly only be afew hours ,but Im not up for puttin up w/that for eight or more hours .
