Paranoya

Some of my recent trips of turned bad due to paranoya and now I'm a paranoid person in general. It all started when I responded to a noise complaint by a (private) security officer to turn my music down and I accidentally trembled my jaw when I was talking to him. While the encounter went fine, now I'm fearing that he might have secretly made a note of this with police. I'm not only fearing this but having other paranoid thoughts such as that my neighbors are watching me, I've said too many things on the internet, I've said too many things to my friends, said too many things on my phone, and that my friends might be being too loud about my activities and not taking the same kind of precautions that I would.
I fear that inevitably the police are going to mount a case against me and serve a search warrant on my residence and seize all of my computers.
I have spent the past couple weeks formulating plans to remove all the contraband, remove all paraphernalia, encrypt/erase/destroy all hard drives, and delete as much internet information as I can. I've even considered quitting this experience altogether. It seems like a whole lot of work in front of me. But but before I do that...
Are my concerns valid or am I being too paranoid?
Is computer evidence really going to be relevant in a case for simple possession?
Can computers establish an intent to consume?
Are search warrants authorized for simple possession cases? Does the government even care about simple users who use in the privacy of their own homes and stay off the roads?
How do you guys deal with this kind of paranoya?

Tell your friends you no longer consume. Become a born again Christian, or better yet a Scientologist(don't really become one, just pretend for fun). Keep your personal business personal from now on, and paranoia will fade.

First and foremost, I recommend you visit with a health care professional and cut out all substances that aren't whole foods and water (no drugs, no caffeine, no cigs, no booze, no crystal, no blow).
If you are concerned about your hard drives, physically destroying them would be wasteful. Use DBAN: http://www.dban.org/ Then reinstall an OS, but keep it clean. You may consider going with a different ISP (and cancel your current service provider). Or, you could go with plausible deniability if you have a wireless access point in your house. Just open that sucker up to the world and if it came down to it, let your lawyer convince a jury that someone could have spoofed your MAC address... yadda yadda yadda.... (if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's probably not for you).
Before you use DBAN, you may considering making a portable USB drive with TAILS on it: http://tails.boum.org/ You can use the USB drive for privacy regarding "this experience" and other ones like it. Also, get a new cell phone and a different number. Don't give the new number to your friends, or just do without a cell phone and use a land line.
You do not sound like a kingpin, so I wouldn't worry about the law swooping in and taking your ziplocks. However, "loose lips sink ships," no matter the size. Get new friends or change your relationship with them.
Your jaw quivered when talking to a private security officer? So what. I doubt he has photos of you pinned up on his wall with maps and shit, smoking cigs into the night and pulling out his hair. Not happening. He isn't going to tell the police your jaw moved funny when he asked you to turn your music down. It'd make him look like an idiot. Plus, I'm sure he'd rather go home and fu** his wife.
Your neighbors are watching you? Good. Bake them some cookies, or some bread. Buy them a bottle of wine. If you're a recluse, just say it's the new year and you're trying to be a better person, plus you baked too many cookies for you to handle and one of your other resolutions is losing some weight. Wing it. But do something for your neighbors. They'll think you're nice and leave you alone. Maybe they'll even return the favor. Besides, it's usually the well kept yard that has the shed in the back with the bodies in it.
In summary, you're way too paranoid. Change your intake, get some good sleep, get some exercise, see a doctor.
