Why do some people handle pot better then others?

i don't think it has anything to do with state of mind or experience or anything like that. it's not under the person's control. i used to smoke a lot, and i got my tolerance up to where i could be comfortable in groups & shit... but now, i don't know why, it might be that i've lost weight... but i just can't act normal in any way any more. i don't like smoking with anyone who isn't a total freak because it's just too intense for me to filter myself to fit propriety and act how i "should".

but i don't think not getting as high as others is a reason to be condescending ...

 

2 reasons why people become overly paranoid that I can think of :

1. Bad Karma : Herb makes you realize the things you do and say to other people, and how these actions make them feel. If you are normally self absorbed, your mind may beat you up for it if you allow it to.

2. You know more than you should, and you dont need herbs pushing more revelations upon you. Therefore, get in tune with reality, balance the energy, and take a break, come back when you are ready.
