yea pretty much that.
every time i smoke i stop talking, get super paranoid and over think every little thing. basically i dont like how i feel when i smoke pot. so iv pretty much quit smoking. i mean the whole point of a drug is to make you feel good or at least take something good away from it and i get neather when i smoke so why do it you know. im actually jealous of people who smoke and feel great, just let there worries go and have a good experience from it. i know im not the only one but it kinda sucks.
90% percent of the people i know smoke, want me to smoke, are dumbfounded that i dont like it for the most part and i get tierd of trying to explane why i dont want to smoke to people that get nothing but enjoyment from it.
once in a blue moon when everything is right i can actually smoke and quite enjoy the experience. like in new years i was alone, had quite a lot to drink, took about 7g of kratom and smoked a small bowl and enjoyed it. (i wonder if it had something to do with the kratom because that was the first time i took kratom and smoked)
iv heard that weed with higher CBD levels can help with the paranoia and shit. but i live in the bible belt and you take what you can get here. any body in the same boat? advice? what do you think? i mean if i just become one of thoes people who dosent smoke then so be it, its not like im gana get mad because i dont like a drug you know. but i would like to partake in it with my friends and my gf of 5 years mostly (she really likes to smoke)

I know what you mean. I didn't really realize it until I started taking psychedelics though. Right now I just started a two day break just so I can lower my tolerance for my next acid trip. Thinking about not smoking weed unless it's accompanied by another drug for the same reasons that you listed though. I actually enjoy smoking by myself, but I get the same way when smoking with other people.

I like smoking pot occasionally. I had the paranoia problem when I was younger but it's gone away mostly. I feel like it often just makes me to careful to be myself around people, which I don't ever get from other drugs (sans high doses of psychedelics but you know how that is).
By myself I gravitate towards digging into everything and a lot of times it comes out negative so I generally don't smoke by myself either.
I dunno. It's fun sometimes but set and setting definitely play a role.

have you tried vaping? or eating? maybe your body just doesn't like the smoke
edit: physically it can help a lot to not smoke, and vaping is so much cleaner. eating is another story but still clean

I quit smoking for a few years awhile ago, and had the same shit with my friends haggling me about quitting, but it was a lot better than being all shitty brain dead around them.
I smoke now around my biatch and lightly in front of close family, but only like 1 or 2 hits max in crowds, just don't enjoy it at all as a social thing.

Edibles seems to be a lot deeper of a stoned, for a lot longer. Even smoking top shelf 1 hit has me baked for 30 minutes, where as one good edible will have me stoned off my ass for 2 hours.
Though I do love edibles for days that I am a shut in

it sucks that some people just can't understand very simple things and have to make a drama out of their misunderstanding/unwillingness to accept. i had similar friends back in the day. over time the group became more understanding of the non-smokers, and some of the weed preachers even became non-smokers themselves, yet still hung with the group. so just give it time with them, and gently lay the facts down on their sorry asses until they come to see the light.
and yeah, eating it helps a shitload with the anxiety/paranoia IME.

I used to smoke (read: vaporize) a bunch until about two years ago. It just doesn't have much appeal to me anymore. I rarely smoke once a month now.
Cannabis indica, known as Kush, has a higher CBD to THC ratio than sativa, known as sour. THC is responsible for most of the psychoactive effects of cannabis, while CBD is non-psychoactive and has both anti-psychotic and anxiolytic effects. This is why I vastly prefer indica to sativa.

see now this is the type of shit im talking about!
i feel weed could very well have beneficial effects even if i need to take the right stuff, the right way and for the right reasons.
so much potential and so little development.

There's a 6-year-old whose been in the news lately because of his parent's usage of medical cannabis to treat his epilepsy.
He uses non-psychoactive cannabis that contains no THC. It's assumed that CBD has the beneficial effect of preventing his seizures.

Weed has a lot of negative side effects for me too. A lot of increased anxiety on top of exsisting anxiety problems. I rarely smoke anymore because of that. I find benzo to be helpful tto me when I smoke.

Weed used to have very negative effects on me too. None of my friends really smoke, so it would just be me, chilling out at home in the evening.
I pretty much kept smoking until I broke through the negative stuff - it took a while, but now I can see why people enjoy weed. I now prefer it to drinking.
YMMV, but for me, the negative stuff was *me* - it was how I was choosing to react to the weed, fighting the high, rather than giving complete control to it. I'd also never taken the time to get completely comfortable with the headspace (I used to only smoke when drunk, so this masked a lot of weeds effects.)
Even now, if I vape really good stuff there might be a few moments of acclimatisation, but I just lay back and smile and get comfortable with it.
I'm not saying everyone should smoke if they don't like the high - just that it's possible to overcome the negatives with perseverance. I hate things having a negative hold on me, which is why I kept smoking up until I enjoyed the high rather than feared it.

I didn't read much of anyone elses replies but my advice would be if you've been tripping lately slow down (when I trip a lot it makes me weed highs less enjoyable and more like tripping, mostly anxiety-wise).
The other thing is get some weaker weed? People always wanna say they've got the dankest/most potent head high and shit but there's nothing wrong with some pleasent indica. You'll probably enjoy the high more.

You need to try to clear your mind. I hate telling people this because it's damn near impossible to explain. But don't let your mind fill up with a bunch of thoughts. Just 'be' in the moment. I think Buddhists call the concept mindfulness.
Most people won't understand but I tried... I hope you get it.

My best suggestion to people who have anxiety issues while consuming cannabis is to drink a few beers before consumption. This works well.

Do what feels good.... man :-) One of the best growers I know does not smoke bc she gets all weirded out. She'll put away some mushrooms or Molly, just does not like the way pot makes her feel. OP, tell your friends to fuck off if they harass you, your body, your headspace, your life ;-)

Same thing happens to me. I was/am a big time stoner and used to be able to puff-tuff with any and everyone, until about the time I turned 25, then I started getting noided and introverted and over thinking/analyzing everything. But like a dumb-ass I continued getting super baked and going into social setting feeling uncomfortable. It took me a feww years to realize that there is a time and a place that I can enjoyably get stoned. Now ±I know when I should be lit and when I shouldn't and it has made all the difference!

I'm the same way OP, it gives me alot of anxiety usually.
I haven't really smoked at all since highschool (in college now) but I remember some strains I got would make me super anxious, these were the strains that mentally make you feel real out of it. And then there were other strains where my head was clear and not too much anxiety really, but my whole body was just buzzing. I really enjoyed those kinds, lol
