You know what I'm afraid of?

For some reason I'm developing this fear that some government agency is tapping my phones or spying on my connection.
I've been smoking a lot bud lately...frankly, too much. Is this just stoner paranoia or is this kinda thing practical?

Drugs can provoke or amplify this way of thinking, but unless you can prove otherwise, it's anyones guess.

I would say it's unlikely, very. The resources it would take to 'look in' on civilians would be to great and very very costly. Then take the costs and put it toward how much they'd get IF they got you with something.

When I was younger, I can remember being in the midst of some heavy drug binges. While in them I was often convinced that the cops/fbi/government were following me. Every car or person I saw looked like they worked for the government. Especially at night, no matter where I was if I saw headlights, I would swear it was from a cop car. I was using some pretty hardcore stuff and lots of it, but it's not that uncommon for people to think this way.

A little quick to judge don't ya think? I think that being afraid of snakes or heights is odd. Could it be that I was stung by an in ground yellow jacket nest as a kid while mowing the lawn and had to go to the hospital? Hmmmm maybe so.

I'm just afraid that any second a cop is going to knock on my door or that someone is going to crash through the window. A weird feeling.
Like they have a feeling that I'm still doing something illegal. I take incredibly safe precautions. I'm just worrying over nothing.

Do you have a lawyer? If not then find one you can call your own. Find out how you should handle yourself in given situations...
Sometimes they'll remind you of your rights and that you have nothing to fear.

I wouldn't stress too much unless you notice solid evidence that you're being watched. Sometimes phones freak out. 
As for me, I'm deathly afraid of sea monsters. And I'm going to work on a cruise ship soon.

You probably have nothing to worry about, but paranoia is healthy in this world. Just don't stress yourself out.
But, I thought that tapping phones these days didn't involve "strange clicking noises" etc. With all the technology these days, they should be able to just tap it directly from the phone company and do it well. Listening for noises sounds more like something out of a 1970's cop drama.

That would be a cool job though, In general I have somewhat of a sea phobia too, but only when I'm actually out in the middle of it, swimming. I just have no idea what's down under the deep waters.. it also makes me feel kind of vulnerable and helpless... there's so many different sea creatures, who knows what the hell I'm gonna run into lol. Ever been in the water and had things touch you or rub up against you, yet you have no idea wtf it was?

happened to me too, except the hospital part, I went caving instead, the story is kind of funny because I was changing to some 'mud' clothes and happened to drop my shoes on the nest, they came swarming, stinging everything that was exposed which was everything but my ankle since I was changing. I snatched up my shirt and started swatting, did a little dance, ran around and then had to go back for my clothes... got home from caving and we counted more than 40 stings, maybe you missed the godzilla comment.
now, on a more embarrassing note, whe I was 17, I got my ass kicked by a 9yo, sometimes that fear of little things is healthy

haha, yes, and it's terrifying. I've gone over this before on the shroomery.. I love the ocean, it's beautiful. But the thought of some creepy fish rubbing or biting me scares me so bad for some reason. And yeah, I feel really helpless when I'm in deep water by myself. It takes quite a bit of effort to stay afloat for long periods of time, and not being able to see anything below me really creeps me out. I'm the same way with underwater scenes in videogames. Movies.. not so much. I can see all around the person in the movie.

When the paranoia gets really high you'll flush your stash, and then your paranoia will resolve because you quit drugs.
Drug paranoia is self-regulating.

Takes a person to listen for each suspected 'law breaker' ( ) That person is gonna get paid $600 per week (give or take). They can only afford to watch so many people at a time. So, unless your suspect #1 you'll go pretty much ignored. Maybe the occasional harrassment by a traffic cop, but not from an investigator.

in modern time there are more cost effective methods, look around, where do you not see cameras, google things like tempest technology, echelon, green lantern and carnivore, yuo'll see that it's becoming easier. in fact regarding the cameras, cops in canada were repremanded for using traffic cams to spy into peoples windows several year ago

it was more than one cop... several areas in different provinces. I've seen a few pics of cops using the helecopters and their gadgetry in the same way here in the states... though it was more perverted, spying on chicks and such.

Nothing around here, really. Just a tiny police station...about it.
Just worrying. I don't deal or anything. Just tiny amounts for myself. Nothing major at all. Just been getting freaked out...

Yea, I think its about time too. Its just when I get back from a hard day's work, knowing I have a fat sack of sticky icky. Its kinda hard to resist.
Maybe, I'll just give it to a friend in need and detox for awhile. I need it.

It's funny you mention a panic/paranoia attack. I got a tad too high, the other day, and I got all freaked out and my heart started beating real fast. I need to give the herb a break, I think. It is really hard to resist that after work bowl, or the early morning bowl. It needs to be done, though.
