ever since i started fuckin with psychadelics , mdma etc , weed has felt way stronger like a short acid trip , especially if its a sativa strain , i also had a bad panic attack after smoking once , since then i cant stop thinking about my heart rate lol , i still love weed but i have to say it isnt the same as it once was
Oddly enough, Sativa strains are better for my paranoia than indica. My anxiety is always about whether or not I'm dying or if I'm getting a different physical effect than just weed ("was it laced"?), and indica makes me much more aware of my organs and body parts, hence leading to the irrational paranoia about if my bodily functions are shutting down.
I never get paranoid while smoking pot but one time I smoked with my mom and she said that when I was younger she was gonna kill me so then my brain thought that I was spicked which I wasn’t and then she was on about hot flushes so my body did the exact thing she said and I thought I was gonna die but after I snapped out of it after awhile but oh boy I said I wasn’t smoking with her again and she said that she forgot I was high and felt bad that she triggered my anxiety and gave me paranoia so lesson learned don’t smoke with ya mom only ya mates 😂😂😂😂😂
I smoked one time after work and had to ride my bicycle home in the dark. My tolorence was waaay lower than it used to be. All of the sudden I started questioning things like: ''Am I going really slow or is this normal speed? – Well what is normal speed? – Can i assume the average?'' ''What if my parents want to talk to me when I get home? I'll tell them I'm tired and rush to bed.. No no, that's weird- But whats normal?'' And literally a fucking cop pulled up next to me driving really slow checking me out (At least I thought they did but idk maybe it was because I was high) My heart was beating like crazy and I was planning on what would happen if they pulled me over. I would tell them I'm having an Asthma attack and I need help, that would explain my weird behaviour. They didn't stop me, so I got home and went straight to bed and started worrying about my career choice and all that stupid stuff we worry so much about 🙂 So yeah that was last time I smoked and it's probably 7 months ago now.
one of the first times i got high.. I was hiking with my good pal in the mountains. At night we found a place to eat dinner and sleep, after eating we rolled a J.. I remember hitting it 3 times saying I dont really feel anything, after about 10 minutes BAAAM I was laughing and laughing and laughing and OMG.. I remember vividly we were sitting on a nearby bench and using phones as light source and I kept thinking we are at an outdoor festival and I kept hearing music, but nothing was playing. Then we lied down in our sleeping bag and when I saw my friend rolled up all cozy, I was just dying laughing saying that he looks like caterpillar. Then I calmed down the laughing and my vision was literally drifting downwards and couldnt control my eyes and then I just thought I was in a luxury hotel, but then realised im in middle of forest and it is so quiet. Best sleep ever too-
now i didnt smoke kush for 6 months, cuz i had panic attacks everytime. and I honestly miss it, even if it stopped being fun for me after couple months
I smoke all the time, rarely sober. When I smoke I do feel less anxiety about the past and the current moment but I still fixate on the future negatively. What's gonna happen tomorrow or next weekend etc. Sometimes it gets so bad that I can't talk because my mind is stuck somewhere else. I just wanna be able to enjoy weed again.
When I get high sometimes I feel like everyone hates me and I feel like everyone is judging me and hates me. Like for instance I will hear my neighbors outside and think to myself I bet they are talking shit about me. However, I have never even seen or met them lmao.
The reason I quit it was too much to be paranoid when quarantine started last year for the first time. Nope last time I smoked I gotta call a friend died imagine hearing that right after you got high. I haven’t smoked in almost 8 months.
What they dont tell u about the weed harmful side: Paranoia Psychosis Direalization Dipersonalization Obsessive-compulsive disorder Schizophrenia Panic attacks Suicidal thoughts Depression
" DO NOT SMOKE WEED BEFORE ITS TOO LATE " my advice for u as an experienced person
I really hate when people say CBD is non-psychoactive, when it clearly is. CBD can also help with anxiety, PTSD, and depression which definitely makes it psychoactive. I like to introduce people to CBD by saying it's psychoactive but non-intoxicating.
I’m a seasoned smoker, and I don’t have anxiety problems too much, but the other day I smoked while I was drunk as shit, and apparently being drunk before smoking weed amplifies the affects of the weed, so I had a green out of my life and I was stressing the fuck out (the weed was fucking gold too). I had to get up and walk around, I sucked water down like no tomorrow and ate something, and my friends told me to calm the hell down and it eventually subsided and then I dozed off lol. If you’re having a green out right now please just listen to this video, only time and patience will make your anxiety subside, and it doesn’t last too long, just breath and enjoy being high.
I was smoking first time with vaporizer and didin't smoke even that much but I was taking little trips in my subconscius and that freaked me out so much that I was panicking and shit. It feeled like I really lost my mind and was having these little dyskinea type movments and just had the worst time of my life everything was so fucking weird. Can someone relate this or was I having psychosis or something?

Finally when the pot feels like it’s wearing off…

I think my paranoia comes from a mental disorder I haven’t been tested for. I believe I’m scitzofrenic
