Is it normal that i have a strong hate for weed?

I basically get anxiety attacks whenever I am around weed. I was stuck once at a halloween party in a different city. Attempted to walk alone around midnight to find the nearest hotel to get away from it.

I attempted it last night..because my boyfriend smokes (social smokes..not addicted) and my mind was racing. My mind usually races because I have general anxiety disorder along with major depression and boderline personality disorder. It's just..when I was high...I could not handle my anxiety. I've been crying all day because when I looked at my boyfriend..it wasn't the same guy I fell in love with looking back at me. All I saw was the droopy face and red eyes. I ended up hating him even though I am completely obsessed when he's sober. He doesn't do anything bad high..just sits and giggles at everything. Nothing incredibly bad..but I still hate it. And I wish he would stop.

I'm ranting. Sorry. I think it's due to my anxiety right now.

    If you don't like it, don't smoke it. Your boyfriend shouldnt have to change what he does for fun just because of you, so just dont meet up with him when hes smoking weed.

    It's normal. I know a lot of people that get anxiety too. Just, don't smoke anymore... It's not your thing.
    Really... I think that maybe if he loves you enough he'll quit for you. Or... He might just choose hanging out wih his buddies and get high. So...
    Who knows? Good luck to you, and do what makes you happy.

    i was in the exact same situation as you! i just really had to cut out smoking entirely... despite my user name hahah. i really do like to smoke by myself though, sometimes before sleeping or just before watching a movie or tv. but i can't do it socially. i just can't handle what it does to my anxiety around friends, even though somehow i can handle it by myself. i really think it just makes me think hard, which freaks me out when i'm trying to be fun with people but i love to think hard when i'm by myself. i'd recommend that you tried it my yourself to get a better hold on what it does to your mind. cuz its really not possible to cut it out of ur life completely cuz you'll always be wondering why you can't ever do it and what's wrong with you and what you're missing out.

    but yah i even have the socially smoking boyfriend, who i hate when i'm high with him. but when i'm sober and he's high its all good. so if its the same for you then don't try to make him stop cuz he'll just resent you. but yah definitely do not smoke around him anymore. i was scared to stop smoking with my boyfriend and friends becuase i was afraid they'd think i was a loser, but really i'm so much cooler sober than high. so like i mean i think you're normal because i can definitely relate, but its not normal to keep smoking with others despite how much you hate it, and it's not normal to try to get your boyfriend to stop.

    Don't listen to all these pot heads.There just gonna rant at you like you're the fuckign devil for not liking weed.You've already opened the door for them to rant about how it should be legalized and how it doens't kill people.Blah blah blah everyone already knows.<BR><BR>Pot won't kill you but a lot of people get mentally addicted to it.It's as addictive,if not more so than caffiene (there are charts you can look up).<BR><BR>If you don't like it then don't do it.There's nothing wrong with you.Ignore these people on here telling you you need to "smoke to chill out".They obviosuly have more sympathy for a plant than another human and don't understand that weed doesn't fix anything.The people answering like that aren't worth the time.<BR><BR>As for all the people trying to "fix" your "problem" of not liking pot (one says you need to try some alone at home or drink when you do it),ignore them too.They don't seem to understand that it isn't for everyone.(kind of like fundamentalists shoving the bible in your face). <BR><BR>Now if your boyfriend was doing it before you two were together,you honestly can't tell him to stop.And if it doesn't start taking over his life it really shoudln't be a problem.And it'd be better if you just weren't around him when he does it.<BR><BR>However if he started after,tell him you don't like him on it.If he loves you he'll stop.If not...well "more sympathy for a plant than a human being."<BR><BR>I know what you mean though.You don't like seeing people you care for high.They just seem like they've had brain damage.Numb.Dead eyes.Different.I feel sad when I see my friends like that :(<BR><BR>I have anxiety issues too.Tried it once and after running in to more pot heads,realised I was glad it didn't work the first time.I didn't want to become like them.I know how annoyin git must be to have a bunch of pot heads tellign you how it'll fix your anxiety despite you just telling them you didn't like it.I've been there.<BR><BR>But just calm down.Get your mind off of it.Explain to your boyfriend how you feel.I hope you feel better soon :)

    I agree with the two above me, you knew he smoked before you started seeing one another, don't try and change your b/f, just avoid social situations where he is smoking.

    You need to smoke so youll chill the fuck out and stop being all whiney geez. He shouldnt have to stop just because you want him to. I could understand if he was a crackhead or something, but weed?

    Ok this is perfectly normal and I actually have a cure for you. No bullshit! Because I use to be the same way. So all you have to do is get a 24oz beer from the store and drink it directly after you smoke. It will quench those axiety attacks. It works for me everytime. When I started smoking weed I would feel like I couldnt feel my chest, like I was going to die, I would do the same as you, look at my gf and she would look disgusting to me. But the beer totaly takes all that away. And you dont need to drink a lot, just one 24oz beer and after you smoke not before. Just take a couple good sized chugs evertyime you start feeling the anxiety come on. You will snap right out of it. The first time I smoked and then drank beer I started laughing my ass off, couldnt stop, I had the funnest time of my life. You just need something that will kill that anxiety. Hope this helps! If you try it, let me what happens. laters

    By telling us all about how you already have anxiety problems you've kinda answered your own question. I think you just need to calm down. Maybe have a joint with the boy.

    okay 1st you can not get addicted on weed allright everybody ? ? K then if your stressed out and you don't welcome the feeling weed gives you then don't freakin smoke it or your gona have a panic atack 100pct garanty. Okay so back then i was realy scared of weed too because it seemed so bad. But my opinion radicaly changed. I think the truth is that people should know all about it or stories like yours will keep occuring. Go on some websites about weed and learn about it, youll be very suprised. Step 2, buy some weed and go home alone and try it by yourself, take a tiny bit to experience the feeling. Thats what I did, I don't smoke regularly but right now i wish i had some, I also suffer from anxiety problems and it realy helps better than anything else. Before i tryed it for myself i would never smoke it with anybody because i found it very intimidating.

    it makes you feel distant from him.. if you liked it too then you wouldn't feel that way, but since you don't: it's normal.

    The guy shouldn't have to quit just because the girl doesn't like it. He did it before she knew him and still did it when they started dating. She just needs to not hang with him with his friends then.
