Really Paranoid While Mildly Stoned

[Circlenaut]

This is a bit strange. I took a few small hits today that got me reflecting on my life. All of a sudden I really became scared. I've been debating with myself for a while about getting professional help, but I've been reluctant. I've been having a lot of issues lately. I toked about 5 hours ago and my heart is still thumping. I guess this is just a PSA to myself to get some help.

I'll go see a shrink.

Maybe you should put down the drugs.

This happens to me, but not with weed.... probably not good.

Just the weed, but I agree for now.

No... I've gotten paranoid before when I've smoked MUCH more. This is different.

Doesn't the quality of the weed have bearing on how paranoid you get? Never done it myself, but I remember hearing this..

Stop getting mildly stoned and get royally fucked up.

You might be developing an anxiety disorder, and the weed accentuates it.

It happened to me with weed last year. Someone called this the creeper.

 

[MyThirdEye]

I would be careful eating that popcorn though, it might have RFID chips in it.

Yeah I've gotten that before. Seemed to happen when I had something worrying on my mind to start with. Not just run-of-the-mill-worries, but like something pressing that I HAD to do, but wasn't sure I could, and knew that sitting around smoking weed wasn't helping me do it. Make sure all your shit is in order before you toke up.

Paranoia is part of the marijuana high in general, but it manifests itself differently and to different extents depending on the individual.

My suggestion is that if it's overwhelming or anxiety inducing, you probably shouldn't smoke.

"Someone I know" smoked every day from 15-19. Suddenly @ 19, it started having that affect on them.

That is when they went to strictly booze. Havent looked back since.

Although now that they have been off it for years, they can occasionally enjoy a rip before bed and everything is all good.

Although an occasional line after a bottle of wine is much better. (according to them)

see that car parked outside? thats an undercover cop. When you go outside to get help they will arrest you. Just grab some munchies and wait them out.

It's the subconscious knowledge that you are wasting and fucking up your life with drugs and the guilt associated with that manifesting itself in an intensified manner because of the psychotropic effects of the marijuana. There, I saved you the money of having to go to a shrink to have him charge you $120 an hour just to tell you the same thing I just did and that you should knock off the drugs and straighten your shit up.

nah, this is different. I started smoking pot in college and at first it was all good. After about two years smoking on and off, I started getting paranoid everytime I did it. The type of paranoid that scared the shit out of me. My solution, I stoped doing it.

 

[deepred98]

weed brings out and exaggerates hidden or buried emotions or feelings

so if your feeling down don't load a bowl unless of course its really really big

Someone I know also had the same experience. Now that person can only smoke with people he trusts and has smoked with before. And sometimes, but rarely, smokes alone in VERY small amounts when mostly shit is in order. That friend says it's amazing how good it used to be before the paranoia started creeping in about 2-3 years after he first started smoking.

You've got pretty much three options.

1. Just keep smoking and smoking until it goes away. This will 'fix' the problem but getting to that point can be a bitch.
2. Stop smoking
3. Get therapy for your emotional issues and then go back to the weed.

The thing with weed is...it gets kind of crappy after time goes on. When you're young and trying it out it's this whole 'spiritual' experience where you're trying new things and having new experiences and weed can kind of open up your mind after a while. The problem is that if you keep doing it too long it just makes you kind of stagnate.
