Friends, I have been smoking for a couple years and I would consider myself fairly experienced. Recently (probably the last 10 times I've smoked) I've had serious problems. My mind and thoughts race, I can't chill out, I lose my appetite... Basically the herb is doing the opposite of what it is supposed to do. I get really scared and paranoid and I just can't relax and enjoy myself. My life situation has not changed since the times that I would love to get high, and the weed is no different either. I have tried different methods (vaporizor, brownies, meditation...) but still the same thing. Please help!
It means you need a break, most likely, or worse, you are being revealed the feeling of guilt and insecurity from your course of actions in life. Why not stop for awhile and reflect?
I took a break of about 3 weeks and the same thing happened. I don't think what I'm experiencing is guilt, but just randomly one day when I got high I had this horrible experience. Mostly my mind races and I am basically hearing my thoughts and worrying about all of these crazy things, and as much as I can come to terms with this when I'm not high, I can't figure out how to just chill out and enjoy my high.
it could come down to your "set and setting": your mind-set and where you physically are. it may seem like these arent that big of factors, but i would say that your midset is definitely part of it. ask yourself WHY you are smoking weed. i suggest reading Andrew Weil´s book "The Natural Mind." (and if you read that and want more, "The Marriage of the Sun and Moon" is its complement, so to speak). They´ll give you a whole different outlook on what drugs are and what drugs do. seriously, i cannot place enough emphasis on how right-on these books are about drugs. i did a total mental 180º after reading these. you could also experiment with different dosage. like, only smoke a hit or two at the most and cruise on that for a couple of hours. or instead of smoking a bowl every now and then, smoke more smaller hits more often, so you´re not getting too much at one time. or....... i guess you could stick to strictly schwag if you´re already smoking buds, but i dont know if i really suggest that. it gives a different high, that´s all. or smoke just hash, if it´s available. hash smoked in a tobacco joint with leave your head feeling more-or-less clear while giving you a nice, smooth body buzz.
Thanks for the book suggestions, I will definately check those out. In terms of setting, I've pretty much got it down to where I'm only smoking in "perfect" situations. In terms of mindset however, I think that could be an issue. I never really think about why I'm smoking other than "to have fun" or "to enjoy my music a lot more" but I dunno. I don't see how I could suddenly one day just start freaking out when the day before I would be totally chilled out and content
Its all about your state of mind when you smoke. If your already a little paranoid and shit then the weed will make it worse. If you smoke while your already chillin then you will be more relaxed. Or you can try taking a break. One of those will hopefully get your high back. Dont let the high control you, control the high. That is what the ganja lets you do, so take advantage man.
I have been smoking for 4 years now. I was over my friends house and I took one hit out of a bong, which is nothing to me because I do mad bong hits all the time. But I got really dizzy and it felt like someone was pulling on the back of my head. Then I started shaking and almost passed out. I ran outside and sat on my friends back pourch and started bawling my eyes out. People asked me if I was okay and I just smiled and told them that I had a panic attack. It could have been that but the next day I smoked and the same thing happened. I started to freak out, but then I started to only smoke by myself and eventually I was fine to smoke with my friends again. Also you should try to stick with one thing to smoke out of. Typically when you smoke out of something different than you're used to you get more high. I went on vacation and all I did was smoke joints. I quit smoking ciggarettes and everytime I would normally smoke a ciggarette I would lite a joint. After the week was over and I was home I smoke 3 joints with my friend and she was blazed and I looked at her like "are you kidding me I could smoke like twelve more to my face." Then we smoked a bong and I was ripped. So stick to one thing and then slowely ween yourself onto other things. Don't over do yourself though.
few suggestions 1. its laced (specially could be if its in the same stash or from same dealer, try a different dealer and see what happens) 2. something happened to make your tolerance go down, and your getting fucked up off of a lot less weed, so when you smoke as much as you used to, you have anxiety attacks. 3. your having seizures cause your hearts racing so fast. (but I think you would know if this ever happend) 4. if you have lost body weight, this could be the same situation as if you had lowered tolerance, it would take less to get you high, and your just smoking way too much
Have you been taking other, stronger drugs? Cause that might have some affect. Like everybody's saying, either take a break or cut down. Too much of anything isn't healthy. Bud delivers its best when taken in moderation.
I haven't been taking any other drugs.... God dammit, it happened again last night. I was enjoying it for about 20 minutes and then it was like my mind wouldn't let me enjoy my high anymore. I want to control my high, but I can't for some reason.
