Recently, every time I have a joint, after a few drags I often start zoning out quite serverly - I'll completely lose touch with reality, because extremely confused, self aware and paranoid. The closest thing I can describe is dissociation.

This never used to happen, I could take bongs and just chill out as is expected, but this is becoming a real problem - causing me to most likely stop.

I know that the weed I smoke isn't sprayed with and PCP or LSD: I trust my friends and they won't be having the same experience to me while smoking the same stuff.

I'm just concerned as to whether any one else has experienced this, really, what causes it and just is it normal?

    Set and Setting. Is there something new in your life that is bothering you? Or old issues coming to the surface?

    Do some soul-searching. Your personal psychology has the most effect on how you respond to cannabis. I'd take a break from it for a while, deal with your problems, then try it again. If you can't get it to be fun again then quit. There's no point in smoking weed if it isn't fun anymore.

    It's not as worrisome as dissociation when you're sober.

    yeh that used to actually happen to me, just try and not get too high and you'll be alright. Then again, i must admit the extremely "lost" feeling is fun so I like to trip out and feel dissociation a lot sometimes lol

    It's actually pretty bad in a lot of ways. If this is happening, honestly just stop. It's doing nothing but harm to you..

    I don't know what to tell you because this is exactly what started happening to me. I used to be able to have a good ole time and then one day I just started getting paranoid and every since then I have been. I mean it don't make me utterly freak its more of an anxiety thing and I get quiet. So I just don't smoke anymore lol maby ill try again in a year or so.
