Is it normal to overthink when you're high?

So like.. everytime I smoke weed with friends I get high to the point where I just sit there and think about anything and everything. As a result I think that people find me socially awkward because I don't talk, and when someone IS trying to talk to me it's hard to comprehend because my mind is lost in my thoughts. I usually am in deep thought about how people see me, or how people act, or how people really are in reality. My mind sometimes thinks so much to the point where it feels like everyone is against me. Weird I know. Sometimes I toke by myself and see the truth in all people, and most of the time I'm right about them, but in reality, they do such a good job of hiding it. But yeah.. I was just wondering IS IT NORMAL to feel/think this way? I need to know that im not the only one that goes through this!

    This happens to me 90% of the time. I never smoke weed any more unless I am drunk and stupid and think I won't over analyze the world but it still happens and then I am stuck hating everyone (and sometimes myself) for like 2 hours until the high wears off. Sometimes it depends who I am with. If just my boyfriend and I get high together, it will only come in spurts and the rest of the time I am okay. But a few weeks ago I got high at party and hated everything. I kept trying to get away from everyone by going to the bathroom, etc. until the high wore off. Once the high wears off, I know I hated so and so when I was stoned, but I can't remember why.

    Of course it's normal. People have different reactions, and different strains will cause different highs, but I always avoided smoking with other people for the same reason. Eventually I learned to love wandering contemplation without the help of substances.

      • i have. that's why it's the #1 reason I don't smoke. I don't like this feeling. In case you're wondering, I used to smoke it regularly.

    Exactly what you said reminds me of myself when high. I don't like weed because it makes me think way too much. I don't find it healthy for my mind and well-being.

    Justa low tolerance. The more you smoke the less awkward you will feel. Weed is a stimulant so of course your thought process will be at a different pace and slightly altered. If your comfortable smoking more and you know all the effects, I say smoke on!
    The same thing used to happen to me. Now I'm a regular smoker with a successful, happy life.

      I would have to agree with you for most of your reasons, but cannabis isn't just a stimulant. It's overall a psychoactive drug, but has effects pertaining to either stimulant, psychedelic or depressant so it couldbe hard to really pinpoint the exact cause of it just because of the type of drug, but ive had the same experience as the question-asker in this case. I learned to just hang out and toke with people who i know aren't fake and who i can trust.

    This happens to me everytime I smoke. I see people for who they are. I see how people communicate, and I see how the world works to the core. I start to overthink everything. Not in a paranoid way, but in a really enjoyable way. Im just over here asking why do you hate that feeling? Why is everyone against it? When I smoke with buddies I see who they really are! Its an awesome feeling. At least for me. It feels so enlightening.

    Ive smoked sense i wuz it the 6th grade and ive always been the one to notice changes in things, and ive deffentaly seen how weed can change you and how the diffrent strans can make you feal more of a sence of your self and how some can make you feal as if your there but your mind is to busy runnin about shit you dont ever really think i stil smoke but i try to find the good stranes that give me a better fealing so i can sit down and enjoy my high i have A.D.D pretty bad so if i snort a 30mg adderall it will level me out and also help me injoy my high.
    anyone els the same way?

    I'm sure everyone has experienced that while high. You'll eventually get over it. When someone asks you something and you forget just ask to repeat because you're so stoned that it didn't completely get processed. haha

    If you want a more social smoking experience I recommend that you downgrade from that sticky icky and don't smoke as much as everybody else, because it sounds as if you are just like me and lots of other people and you have a low tolerance. Its actually a good thing because if your herb is going to last longer than your friends because you don't need as much to get a comfortable high.
