I agreed with you about the underlying conditions, so using that to argue against me is invalid. It's possible that weed wasn't the catalyst is his situation, or at least not exclusively, but it certainly had something to do with it.
Whether you agree with it or not, weed does have the potential to bring underlying psychological/physiological issues out in the open.

i DO indeed agree with that. that's EXACTLY what i'm saying.

it doesn't however "cause said conditions" is what i've been trying to establish here, all along.

Weed can certainly cause and exacerbate an increased heart-rate, paranoia, anxiety, feelings of panic, etc.

Is that what this argument was about? Those are well known and documented effects...

only one of those is true.

you know what else can cause paranoia, anxiety, feelings of panic? dangerous heart rate increase, and blood pressure rise.

ie infarction

that can, and coming close to it, can cause all of the pronounced mental and stress effects.

weird eh?

yes, weed can cause a heart rate increase... so can ingesting any substance that crosses the blood brain barrier.

PS: dialectics can be confusing... my argument is for explaining how "paranoia isn't caused by weed, and that IF paranoia is present before and/or after consuming weed; proves that weed isn't the cause of the paranoia, it is rather an exacerbation of an underlying condition."

Everyone is different but getting stoned will increase my heart rate moreso than taking speed, which is peculiar.

I find it ridiculous that you don't believe weed can cause
Quote:

paranoia, anxiety, feelings of panic




These are not even uncommon effects, though they vary greatly in severity from one person to the next.


Once I was really stoned playing bass at home by myself and then I heard what I believe was someone throwing up in my bathroom. I immediately concluded it was a ghost that was going to haunt/kill me as I was hearing this vomiting very vividly. So I worked up the courage to go check in the bathroom honestly terrified by what I was about to see, and of course there was no one there.

Now I don't even believe in ghosts or paranormal sort of shit and I've never had  any delusional/paranoid experience that comes the slightest bit close to this while sober. But no hang on, it wasn't an unfortunate reaction to being too high because weed can't make you paranoid. :rolleyes:

you don't believe in something? sounds like you believe there is something to believe. sure your mind isn't just more prone to "wondering" whilst high? does this not sound like a logical conclusion...?

Okay to be more clear - I don't believe in that concept of "ghost" as something that floats around after someone dies and goes and haunts people and doesn't have to obey the laws of physics. In the same vein I don't believe in "god" as some dude that sits back and watches this all unfolding and loves us all but won't stop you from burning in hell for eternity if you choose to have gay sex.

It sure is. The difference between this story and normally when my mind is "wondering" is that I don't freak out and have my heart popping out of my throat from a simply "wondering" mind.

You should probably go let erowid know that they screwed up their effects lists for cannibis since I found the following effects listed  :nonono:

Quote:

racing heart, agitation, feeling tense
mild to severe anxiety
panic attacks in sensitive users or with very high doses
paranoid & anxious thoughts more frequent

weed increases heart rate, which in turn can cause stress, which can in turn cause your heart to start beating faster and can cause anxiety which can lead to paranoia with an already "wondering mind"; and with an increased heart rate leading to increased Catecholamine leading to increased blood glucose which can cause not only anxiety, but hallucinations (and delusional psychosis at dangerous enough levels), paranoia and other delusional thinking patterns; which in turn can account for your symptoms that you had.

plus, not too mention THC, being a psychedelic, can increase the awareness of these conditions, and alter the "brain's dictation" (in other words, can confuse or mix communications and messages in the brain) of subsequent electrical signals.

I thought we were on the same page, but you're literally saying that weed causes on symptom, which causes another, which causes another.

That makes weed the cause of the resulting disorder/illness/whatever.

i like how carefully and exquisitely they worded this part of the list... it seems that all of the above can be explained by the increased heart rate. seems like they know what they're talking about, only can people read something without it needn't be spoken aloud to them; or without due dictation; to actually be understood past their own focal misapprehension of what and why they are reading it?

a list is a list, it is not a fact, nor is it ardent to be known as fact, it is a list; of effects described by people; with LOOSE interpretation.

that list means no more then what i've already stated myself, as providence.

This whole chain reaction theory of yours can be reversed and would still be logical. Do you have any decent sources to back it up? Not that it would matter anyway since with this theory of yours the effects of the weed are still leading to the paranoia and anxiety, which you may have overlooked...

no, i am not. i am not "literally" saying anything... my post is clearly in the form of a figurative explanation for the paranoia he describes.

weed isn't a cause of any of those things, except increased heart rate. those other aforementioned things are symptoms of the concluding effects of the increased heart rate; which COULD BE caused by the weed.

more often then not, weed causing an increased heart rate, won't even begin to scratch the surface of those other inherent symptoms, not without amazing happenstance, or ANOTHER underlying cause(s) contributing to further symptomatic behavior.

there is a HUGE difference between a CAUSE and A SYMPTOM.

is that supposed to be glib? i already said, their list is good. just like i could describe it, only i'd not make a list, and i'd ascribe to what causes lead to what symptoms and what symptoms lead to waht causes. more in depth, like i am doing now.

and ya, YOU still wouldn't read it or take it seriously... even if the logic is backed up. so? oh well. :shrug: it's not my fault you are confused, i don't have to feel bad.

oh and PS: like i said to the first guy i was talking to who thought he should rather be arguing then just accepting a point of view (other than his own :shock: )

... the paranoia probably most likely came first, then the anxiety, then the  increased heart rate leading to chest pains and then back to "him blaming weed".

like you said; in reverse, it still works.

Right my bad then, I misinterpreted part of your last post. :smile:

I thought you were arguing that it always works in the order you mentioned?

Also I see no reason to believe that these effects won't occur independently. I can't be bothered reading sources to prove either way tbh because I just don't care enough :lol: but are you actually basing this theory off decent sources/studies or just your own thoughts?

You're just arguing to argue. Repeating the same thing doesn't make it any more true.

The fact of the matter is, your body chemistry is different from mine, which is different than his, which is different than the next guy's. That being the case, weed has the potential to affect each of us very, very differently. And while it might not cause those symptoms for you, or me, or anyone you've ever seen smoke weed, it could cause those symptoms in them.

Like I said earlier, neither of us has any idea what they experienced, because we didn't experience it.
To tell someone what they experienced can't have happened the way they say it did, and to continue to argue with them about it, is nothing short of arrogance.
