Almost everytime I smoke some pot, a little or a lot, I get unbearably paranoid and start to semi freak out. Not really on the outside but on the inside. I sometimes shake and my heart/mind races. Why is this? It used to make me so mellow and happy. What has happened?
Dude. If you're a little bit paranoid, weed will make you VERY paranoid. I don't smoke it either.
So I know I get the same way... I was told this by a friend and it helped me. If there are any issues with yourself, when you smoke weed it just points it out to ya. I don't know if this is true but if you think about it from a healing standpoint.. makes sense. we need to know what to work on in order to work through it!
Get off the hydro. I've noticed over the years weed has become more of a stimulant due to the way it's grown. I'm 50 and back in my younger days you had good weed but not like the shit out there these days.
The reason people get paranoid on drugs more as they age is because the older you get the more skeletons you have piled up in your closet.
Same thing with me man and eventually you'll have a full blown anxiety attack. I'm sworn off it. I have happy memories of it, but I can never do it again.
Seems like your tolerance is very low like a young child. You better practice more if you ever want to be able to handle hard drugs.
Everytime I hit myself in the head with a hammer it hurts.
What should I do???
I also get very paranoid and for a while still smoked here and there thinking I'd get over it, but I didn't and now from time to time, especially when anxious (and sober) I experience the same things I did when high.
It is normal. The thing is, one argument people use when they want to legalize it is "there are no studies to prove that marijuana affects mental health". Yeah there are no study because it's not easy to get a large number of subjects to make a longitudinal study (for years). There's also a legalization problem, too. You can't make such a study unless it's legalized there.
Also though, if you have schitzophrenia genes, marijuana can trigger it and that is saying something. I'm not saying it shouldn't be used as a medicine, but that people should also be careful about it. I smoked too, and I got anxiety. A problem I have never had before starting to get high often. And I quit it 2 years ago.
Of course it alters how your brain functions, it surely can affect your mood, raise your pulse, and make you paranoid/anxious. If it can affect your mood in a good way, it can surely do it the other way. I think weed should be legalized so they can study it more. It should be treated like medicine- for example xanax surely helps, but it's addictive. And also, ANYTHING that affects your central nervous system, in short.. your mood, your thinking, your brain- has side effects. It's just basic psychiatry.
Yep I think the longer you smoke it the paranoia goes away a little I think but I smoked it forever for ages and someone told me your the most paranoid mother fucker I know
