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

I think part of the problem is that modern weed is too strong. 30 years ago I needed to smoke a fat joint to get high, which is like 10 -20 hits or more. These days, with pretty much the only weed I can get now, one small hit and I'm ripped. If I was to stuff a bowl, or roll a joint it would be way too much. I'd get paranoid and confused and possibly even dizzy. That's no fun..
Try smoking a fraction of the weed you normally smoke and see what it's like. Just like schrooms and acid, you have to find the right dose.

I had the opposite. No paranoia at all when I was younger and it stared making me paranoid when I got older.

same for me, I even thought a few times about opening a thread like this myself. I'm 26 and I've never been a smoker apart from the occasional joint when I was younger. Then about a year ago a friend of mine decided he wanted to try weed and I said "why not"...turns out he really liked smoking and now it's a habit for him. For the first few months I liked it a lot too, I felt happy, relaxed and I was all "why didn't I smoke for so long? it feels so good and it's better than alcohol".
Then one day something changed, I started to get slightly anxious until one time when I got really really paranoid. That day I think the doors of paranoia just opened wide for me and now I can't really enjoy a smoke anymore. I get anxious, I feel dumb and I can't stand the typical short-term memory loss anymore, I spend half the time thinking about what I just forgot and the other half getting paranoid over everything. I believe that I am mostly what's causing the problem, because every time I smoke I just can't keep my mind from thinking "oh, I hope I don't get paranoid again!", but I decided to not smoke for a while anyway (or do it only if I'm drunk) cause right now I'm getting no pleasure at all from it and I'm also afraid that the anxiety might start getting at me even when I'm sober.
And I agree that people insisting even when you clearly tell them that it will just make you feel worse are a real pain.

Shit just gets to real for me when I smoke...and not even really real, more like paranoid delusions real. I start seeing connections in things that arent actually connected and come up with these elaborate conspiracy plots against me in my head.

Weed gives me minor social anxiety. If i'm going out with friends I'll only take a small hit or two but I try to stay away from it all together when it comes to social interactions and going out. My main problem with bud is how lazy it makes me (or so I think) maybe I've always been lazy to begin with.
But nothing really beats smoking a fat joint by yourself and throwin on some headphones

Yeah dude. I have some crazy self related conspiracy theories. Like how my one friend faked his death and EVERYBODY went along with it just to see if I cared and all this shit. There are more, but that's a good example of one, and a really fucking painful thing to believe is true. cause you do, in that moment.
I smoked for like two years straight all day every day. I was abusing it, it was habitual. Didn't even make me that happy, just like contented.
Started doing alot of psychs, and then after the mother of all bad traps that I wasn't ready for and fought to the teeth, so it really traumatized me, BOOM. no more weed. Could not smoke without freaking out lol. I've tried so many time and had like 3 good experiences for so many more bad ones over the last like 4 years.
Just smoked the other night, leaving a party with 2 really good buddies. The one knows everything about me, the other is new but I feel the same way about that person I'm just so comfortable with them both, and the new friend said she really wanted to try smoking with me. She didn't push it and I had explained shit to her, but she said it would be cool. So I suggested I smoke cause it would just be us 3 after we left and I felt comfortable sharing with them if I started to wig. I did start freaking, but instead of retreating inwards I started telling them about it and got everything out and eventually realized it was awesome and was laughing my ass off, dancing in my undies, and ramblin like a mad man.

I find it helps if I tell myself "I didn't smoke to fucking put myself down or overthink shit" and just enjoy it. Try to crack a joke or something. Don't be in your head so much.

Don't worry man I think a lot of people on this forum can relate to that, myself included. What is forgotten is that weed, much like psychedelics, is good at bringing up things that we bury or are struggling with deep down. Although it may be a fairly mild and benign, it'll be exaggerated with cannabis. Perhaps there is some social anxiety that you feel in general; at least that's how it is for me.
We so causally smoke socially, often including people we don't know and at a time we're not really intending on doing inner work. Have you ever tried smoking alone, maybe with the intention of letting go of that stuff? I usually get some level of tension when I smoke these days, but I've found that when I actually get some time alone with it, much like psychedelics, it can be therapeutic.
Treat it a bit like mushrooms, set and setting count.

Good advice here from alot of people who seem to feel the same way.
Happened to me the same way and I rarely smoke these days but it seems to have gotten better/ i dont seem as sensitive to it. I guess thats a good and bad thing, i havent used psych's in a while either.
One thing ive found that took years before I tried is....... low dose edibles
Im talking .1 or less, usually less. I find that it provides a shift in consciousness that is not overwhelming and I am more functional/centered. Try it for yourself, you'd be surprised how little it takes when the edible/oil is made properly. I usually eat maybe .05, a tiny fraction. It also makes the liftoff from smoking not so abrupt if you choose to do so after having a baseline edible feel.
Here is the tek I posted on how to make canna coconut oil based on badkats tek from GC. Its super easy and allows very small amounts needing to be consumed. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18572661
Take care and dont feel down when your friends give you a hard time for passing on smoking. We all went through that and its just what some people do. You know when it feels right and what feels right, you can still tune in to the same feel with them without smoking  Share your love and space as it comes.

I know how you feel at least when it comes to smoking socially. I really only like pot when getting ready for bed. Since I'm alone or at least only with someone I feel completely comfortable with I feel free to just be quiet and inward. I have finally decided to just turn down weed in social situations because I've had one too many bad times. Edibles are another story through, they give me energy and I can function better. They are rare for me though.

I'm fairly new to smoking weed. I occasionally still find myself stuttering, getting muscle spasms, and being paranoid; there are other occasions where I eat some edibles by myself and find myself having the best time of my life. (this is because I am not worried about getting in trouble for marijuana)
I think marijuana is an amazing drug! It's s shame that it doesn't work for everyone.

I have this problem as well. All I can say is different strains do help. Indica have higher CBD content which isn't as stimulating but is does relive some anxiety if you don't smoke too much.

Personally it's almost the opposite for me. It makes me a lot of comfortable in social settings, I can be kind of shy normally and when I'm stoned it takes that edge off soo much and Ive been smoking every day for a while now.I can understand how it would effect others differently though, and not for everyone but I love it and it helps me with a lot of things. Having access to dispensaries I've had buds with supposedly higher cbd than thc and they are pretty amazing for pain and anxiety. I've seen CBD edibles before too, I didn't try them but I could see those doing some good

Pretty sure that's a trait/early sign of schizophrenia (the 'connecting dots which dont exist') e.g thinking there is underlying meaning in the news specifically for YOU and such.
The fact you accept they're paranoid delusions is a good sign though? Maybe speak to a psych about it bro.

Dude you don't know what you are talking about and suggesting to someone that they may "have early signs of schizophrenia" is pretty naive and fucked up. I am sure you did not mean to come off like this. You are not a therapist/psychologist so I think it unwise to offer your opinion on the matter. Just sayin'.....

Wasn't my intention to upset or worry anyone! Take everything I say with a pinch of salt as it is mostly speculation combined with my knowledge from internet research.
I have a friend who shows quite a lot of signs and can seem a little psychotic at times. I keep an eye on her without telling her what I think because I wouldn't want to 'plant seeds' or worry her in general. Once we took somme MDMA at a rave and got high afterwards and she spoke about 'everything building up to this moment'. And how certain things we were saying were like signs for things. That night got pretty scary at times, hard for me to take what she was saying in after 1/2g mdma, 3 joints and a decent amount of ketamine lol.
All due respect I know i'm not a psych or a therapist which is exactly the reason I suggested he go see one. If it is truly nothing to worry about -a psych would confirm this...

I think it's normal if you get paranoid or make connections where there aren't any once or twice but if it goes to the extent where you stop doing certain things then it's probably time to see a doctor...

Don't get me wrong guys, i'm not saying having these thoughts = insta-schizo, just that there could be something to it.
I'm sure it's fine having these thoughts as long as you hold on to the fact/can always determine that they ARE just delusions.
The logical thing to do here would be to talk about it. Far from psych but if anyone needs a friend and sees some of what im saying in themselves by all means PM me.

If weed makes you feel that way, I suggest that you don't consume cannabis. Either you're highly sensitive to cannabinoids and/or your tolerance is extremely low.
I've felt those negative adverse effects from my cannabis use, but the effects subsided after a couple months. IMO, this was due to my body raising the equilibrium tolerance threshold of cannabinoids.
You should try some high CBD strains(it has a high affinity to provide a synergistic effect when taken with THCa). Indica or indica dominant strains are prominent with CBD levels. They make my feet feel comfortably numb

Might be because you don't smoke very often. If you smoke several times a day for a few months you will eventually most likely lose that super intense high feeling and just be nice and relaxed.... First couple times is awkward as fuck trying to hide being high in front of people, or at least act "normal".

TH: If these people dont exhibit these symptoms while not under the effect of "__insert substance__" and if the thoughts, ideas, didnt seem to correlate with ordinary reality, and they realize it especially, then I definitly dont think it wise to jump to the conclusion that these people are exhibiting traits/early signs of schizophrenia. Look up effects of said substances on erowid...... anxiety and paranoia are there. It doesnt give much detail however.
If you research reports of people on these substances you will notice that these types of experiences are not that uncommon. I personally have experienced them multiple times of cannabis and occasionally on psychedelics.
I think tapping in to that aspect of the mind, as irrational as it may be, is part of the therapeutic potential of these substances. It allows an indvidual, therapist, whoever to experience to some extent what it is like for individuals with different psychological abnormalities. It helps one to relate. But... that doesnt mean the person who experienced these effects in non ordinary states of consciousness influenced by psychotropic substances is going to be stuck or even more susceptible to these mental conditions during there ordinary waking life.
Psychotropic substances have a half life, and they can open doorways to the mind, but for the MAJORITY of people with moderation and family history in mind, you wont get yourself somewhere you dont come back from.
