Intesnse Paranoia and Anixety from Bud :( 1

I used to be able to smoke bud a few years ago without getting real panicky and anxious but now its almost impossible. When i smoke i either feel like im dying, or feel like people are making fun of me or w.e. I always have panic attacks when im smoking , theres no way to not have one - by not smoking obviously. But i miss having that connection. My thoughts race unbelievably and my thoughts are usually very deep, sometimes bad, sometimes good... Anyone have a similar problem, or any advice. Other than to stop smoking bud, thats the obvious .. which i hardly smoke anymore.

u need to rebuild ur tolerance... my ol lady used to not be able to smoke without legitimately freaking the fuck out (increased heart rate, panicked feeling, nausea, etc.), so she didnt for a long time. Then she started wanting to smoke so she just paced herself and got a little higher each day until her tolerance was high enough to smoke without freaking out... now shes a full blown pot head

Dude, so many people get this. Even people I know who are regular tokers. I don't know if it's a chemical reaction in the brain or a sign to move on in life but it's something I've been working towards for a decent long time. Now I hardly ever smoke and when my stash runs out maybe I'll never buy again for a really long time. I guess it's different for everyone but I feel like for me the goal is to retain my old self and just be happy being alive and in going for creative projects/self independence. it sucks but maybe try not smoking for a while. i will say this though- the highs are better sometimes when i toke but it still makes me pretty anxious and kinda jumpy, and like you said - think about dying way too much.

Well to give you an idea of how bad of panic attacks i have, the other day i smoked i felt like i was having a stroke, like part of my body tingling, body numb and all that bullshit lol. I dont know if it was cuz of the vics i was taking or what but ive never felt like that from either or panic or pills/coming down. I dont know. I may have fucked some shit up in my brain from huffing gas and shit before, i wasnt doing it alot but still, never know.. or it could be my depression ive lived with for years. you both made good points the chemical reaction or time to move on. I like to reason my "problems/obstacles" with spiritual, or philosophical rationalities so id like to think that but i kinda am a little fucked up in the head to be honest. So its hard to tell... The tolerance thing might be true to, if i smoke like barely at all and im home by myself im ok. Maybe some emotional trauma triggered it when i had a bad time with some pills and smoked a blunt afterwards ... went to the hospital thought i was ODing or was.

Maybe you need to face psychological issues unrelated to drugs?

Weed intensifies anything that's already there. It blows it up, makes it more than it really is.
Your anxiety/paranoia is already there, whether weed caused it is uncertain, but smoking pot just intensifies it tenfold.
Try not smoking for a good long while.

well i have social anxiety. I have had anxiety in general for a while, i dont really know what i worry about to be totally honest.. But yeah im sure i have some psychological issues i gotta work out, hell the other day i just snapped on this one kid .. tried to gouge his eye out, choked him then headbutted him. I hold my stress and anger inside. Im a nice guy though . I never learned to positively cope with stress is my problem, and all i do about my problem is bitch about it usually to myself, (in my head) and not do anything about it. I believe thats depression though the lack of motivation, or because im a teenager, or because i feel i dont deserve it. But i really wanna smoke again but i honestly think now is not the time unfortunately. What i need to do is start exercising and get back in shape, im pretty skinny and kinda built for my size and not working out at all but i think inside my body isnt the greatest. Ive been doing drugs since i was 12 and i dont play sports and never have. I skateboarded for like 4 years but havent done shit in a year or so, on top of high stress at a young age.

What i think you need to do is smoke a pipe by yourself and see where your thouthts go. Don't try to stop them if you don't like where they're going, that will just make the high really uncomfortable

I have another theory, when i was about 13-15 , i used to smkoe by myself everyyyy night for the longest time in my room and i was fine. I think if i do that now ill be fine, when no one is awake or knows im stoned. That way i dont gotta worry about any social interaction, and can just let my mind wander like it does when im stoned, I contemplate on a lot of shit. gods mysterious ways, my past, just real deep shit.

just reading the OP
i think i know i you feel. do you usually smoke around other people, or do you also smoke by yourself? i get anxious socially especially when i smoke weed, it kinda has always been that way, but there's ways to deal with it, even work it your advantage.
it could be a lesson to let go, a challenge to face the chaotic, and allow it to drift you away into the late night. it is whatever we make it to be.
in a way situations like these bring us the opportunity to become aware of certain aspects of ourselves that can help us further evolve, when we make the choice to work them out and through.

That is spot on.

Yeah for sure man. "He who looks outside dreams; He who looks inside awakens" type shit. Just something i got to learn to deal with I guess, or maybe im the type to smoke by myself and just chill listen to some music. My thoughts race so much stoned, even sober they do... maybe thats why because socially i have negative tendencies but alone with no contact with anyone im fine, cuz i dont feel like anyone is there to judge me. Probably better if i lay low anyways. Midnight toker ftw. Good ole' bud lighting the tunnel for me, as i spark it up of course, haha.

Solo sessions are 
Personally, that's my kind of thing, for the reasons you described plus I find it therapeutic. Social is great too, but the setting has to be right. Having people over who are loud and can't sit still is not the kind of atmosphere that allows me to fully lounge back and surf the clouds.

For me and others I know, that happens at some point.
Many quit it at this point.
I did not; and it became manageable after a few times, then stopped entirely.
Everyone is different. This seems common though.
