Marijuana makes me think of death

It always pushes the fear od death to the forefront of my consciousness when i get stoned without a tolerance
its like it becomes just me versus this inevitable problem..which is death. i sit and think "ok..i AM going to die. what am i going to do about this? it WILL happen. Fuck" and its just something i cannot get passed. its like ive had such a good life that dying turns into an extreme fear and anxious thing to ponder. It really is going to all end. one day and one day sooner than i want..it IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
is anyone else forced to look at it like this?

death means nothing, you don't have to deal with it. you only have to deal with others' deaths when they occur. really nothing else to do be healthy until you are not then be as excellent as you can be.
if you cultivate that into your character, nothing else matters as far as death is concerned.
might as well have a will and discuss disposal of the body so your people are not too confused when it happens

The shift in consciousness can force one to face the basics of being alive. I tend to take it as a lesson, and a reminder from the spirit of the plant. It is humbling, and offers awareness of creating your life, here and now, it's all up to you.
Let go into the flow, move with it like water, Don't forget the love

Don't worry bro. Everyone and everything that has ever lived died, and everyone and everything that is currently living will die. It is literally only one of two things (the other being birth) that we all share. So we're all in this together. After all, it will be interesting to find out what actually happens, and if in fact nothing happens and you don't get to find out, well then, you won't have any way to be upset about not finding out.
If you were raised in a strict fundamentalist Christian household like myself (and went to Catholic School like myself haha) and have that nasty guilt and shame in the back of your mind that you can't get rid of even though you know it doesn't make logical sense, take solace in this:
If I had a child and that child made a big mistake, and I happened to have a nice big raging bonfire going in the backyard, would I through my child in the fire and watch them burn because of their mistake? Even if I had already "warned" them about not making that mistake? No. Why? Because I have love, compassion, patience, understanding, empathy, acceptance and forgiveness for my child. Along with a little sense of humor (you know, like "haha slick move dumbass haha")
So if God were to throw his children in an eternal bonfire for making mistakes, that would make God less loving, compassionate, patient, understanding, empathetic, accepting and forgiving than me, no? Might as well worship me, a pathetic internet troll.
Therefore, I don't think the brimstone-hellfire fears are worth worrying about. If that were really the case, instead of worshipping God people would be trying to find ways to overthrow him because of his tyranny. But I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.
If you are not at all worried about what will happen to you after death from a religious standpoint and therefore don't have The Fear, then disregard paragraphs 2-5 and refer to paragraph 1. And read as much as you can on the subject. The more you read about death the more fascinating the topic becomes. I am quite curious about it myself, but certainly not scared. Be sure to read as many differing opinions and philosophies as you can, and make your own conclusions. You could actually turn this into a fun little project while you're stoned. Have some death reading materials handy and do some philosophizing after you chief. Peace.

Marijuana is bringing on death anxiety. It fucks with alot of things in the brain one major part being the amydgala which is responcible for stress, anxiety, Gaba-related things, fight or flight, and more.
I feel like after having this reaction so many times one begins to expect it and almost make a thought pattern around a certain behavior.

Seriously, if you guys can't handle your herb, then why smoke it?
I think the death anxiety thesis is bullshit, I'm calling bullshit. And if it's true, then boo hoo don't FUCKING SMOKE IT!
Unreal.

Then don't think about death while you smoke marijuana. Seems pretty simple from my perspective.

I can't do it to often myself without building a tolerance over a few days. Them first few rips just wreck havoc in my consciousness, I become overly paranoid to the point where it becomes unbearable. But after smoking for a few days I become accustomed to the high and learn to embrace the positives.

The herb can get me paranoid too if smoked with no tolerance in the wrong setting or mind set.
How do thoughts of death affect you while sober, if you have them.

In my experience while I'm stoned I'm aware of my paranoia, but it just pokes you with a big stick and won't fuck off.

i dont think much about death when i am sober or when i am tripping. Tripping makes me feel the opposite of fearing death.
its just for some reason marijuana is always throwing it right in my face. it becomes like a mathematical problem that is standing in front of me..and the problem is "you WILL die. its coming and you cant do anything about it. everything you will never be the same and you wont get to live again" and like i said its like this equation that is harassing me. It taunts me to try to get passed it, almost.
its not that i cant handle my weed its just i have no tolerance and i smoke BHO. i can choose to smoke more and get rid of it but i like having no tolerance and controlling my habit.
im not really complaining about all this im just sharing whats happening so i can get some personal feedback for the hell of it
and it has nothing to do with hell or being afraid of eternal damnation...its the fear of never being "me" again

maybe it is the smell and the low lights, or the flame or the box with the vape in it? something like a casket or a funerary urn or who knows, some image or sound association. I think the math problem is not avoiding death but finding and facing some subtle triggers so they are less insidious.

Nah its just the weed high. If i smoked a couple bowls of good bud i would have the same reaction
Its just hard to accept the fact im going to die. Im not even really talking about being dead that is the problem it is the way in which i will die that scares me mostly

Death is only experienced while one is alive - it isn't extinction but fear of it.
