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.
Is it normal I get so unbearably paranoid when I smoke weed?
