Dealing with Anxiety/Paranoia

Feelings of anxiety or paranoia are common when using cannabis. Cannabis is a mild psychedelic and thus things like mind set and your surrounds can affect your experience. Sometimes factors in your life are causing you stress without you even realizing it. Don't allow yourself to become comsumed by the feeling, remind yourself that you are stoned and are just wigging out a little. A change of scenery or activity may help out a lot. Take a walk or read a book or browse shroomery. Don't let your mind wander, keep it focused on an activity. If you find you used to enjoy smoking but don't enjoy it as much now, smoke less, or quit totally. If you are smoking large amounts daily, it is easy to start only getting negative effects. If even small amounts are uncomfortable, take a break. If you feel like smoking later in life, try it out. Perhaps you won't even feel the urge anymore once you've gone sober.

thats exactly why i quit (or have GREATLY reduced weed consumption)
my first expiriences were filled w/ paranioa and anxiety. the p and a gradually reduced to little or nothing after a while. but then i started smoking the nugs. high potentencty weed gave me massive anxiety and sometimes i would shivver uncontrolably after smoking to much. when i do smoke ( maybe 10 times a year) its schwag but i still get high as hell.

Good post and good luck friend Weed or any drugs for that matter are for recreation. Not a lifestyle. As soon as a person starts to become dependent of weed for emotional stability. They are in fact extremely emotionally unstable and then lean on drugs to find stability. Round and round it goes................. I have found that while " High " my emotional growth is dead. There is no growth. So if a person starts getting stoned at a young age and stays stoned 5-7 days a week............ They are emotionally young forever. Or until they wake up and get the drugs under control. If you are a person that deals with Anxiety/Paranoia while not high then weed certainly will amplify it. Weed is a amplifier of many things. Emotions one, Creativity the other..............

fucknuckle . . . the truth has never been spoken. it has been 2 years since i had a drop of Alcohol or smoked weed. the problem with me is that that is all i wanted to do. I'm more productive now and am learning more about myself. i only allow myself to shroom or what i like to call "soul cleansing."

Paranoia is almost taking over my life. I just got a paranoid thought last night, decided I hate 2 of my friends and raved about this hate to another good friend (also friends with the other 2) for the last 2 hours or so. This paranoid thought took hardly anything to bring about and yes, I had been smoking weed. I've had really bad paranoia in the past and I stopped smoking for half a year because of it. I thought it was gone now though but obviously I am wrong.
The worst thing about paranoia for me is never knowing if I am right or not, it makes me doubt every single thought I get and I hate that. I can't trust myself or my thoughts, if I do I usually end up doing something very stupid just like tonight.
I wish there was some miracle cure for this, and in a way there is.. I should just stop smoking full stop. I don't like this option at all though and will no doubt push myself until all my friends hate me. Weed is definatly a psychologicaly addictive drug, I can vouch for that with all my heart.
