marijuana and paranoia

Recently I have noticed that weed has started to make me extremely paranoid and self conscious. It seems that it gradually started when i tripped on lsd for the first time like 5 months ago. during that trip i smoked alot of weed and when i say alot i mean it...that trip also was not so much of a good trip and i think that has something to do with it. a few months ago i then got in alot of trouble with cops when i was high and i think this just put me over the edge. since then i have basicly kept smoking to once or twice a month. the main reason i dont smoke is becuase i feel so uncomfortable around people when im high. my mind races and i cant help but to think everyone is out to get me or judging me. does anyone else know what im talking about? i want to go back to the good old days where i actually enjoyed being high.

Just tell yourself that it's all in your head and when you say it, mean it. That seems to work for me.

when I got arrested with pot it made me the same way. I still can't get really high and act like myself... I feel like I revert to my old insecure self, to a person who I am nothing like when I'm sober. But if I'm in the right environment it's not like that, like when I'm hanging with close friends just laughing at all the stupid shit on tv or tossing around a frisbee. I have cut back alot, but I am really trying to find a way to alleviate the scar that my arrest left on my subconscious that is keeping me from enjoying weed the way I used to. I am a Buddhist and deep meditation has helped me alot. I am planning on an ayahuasca trip soon, I've heard wonderful things about its powers of spiritual healing.

weed can make people paranoid. it used to make me paranoid in that all i could think of while high were all the failures or unaccomplished things in my life. However, it did pass. I just had to make some positive changes in my life. Take some time off from drugs, get your shit in real life together, and then when you come back to drugs, they'll be good relaxation and fun again.

weed is quite the dangerous drug if you don't listen to your emotions.
i mean get this.... a whiles ago i ate some weed..... and i was like "yes this is a good high" and so i wanted to TRIP and i was like.... "man i sure do want to smoke" but i had taken a vow to quite smoking since it hurt my lungs so bad....
so i went and scrounged up buds from the floor and smoked..... and immediately i felt the bad effects congestion wise... and ..... yet.... i still want to get high.
i find myself thinking "ahhhh a smoke once in a while would be nice" but at the same time, i clearly feel all my energy deplete as my body goes dry when i smoke.... i felt okay a day or so later after last having smoked a small amount, but it still does DAMAGE
you have to heed the warnings man. weed can be used to fix anxiety but it can also be used to make it extremely bad...... you don't want to flip out. you can.... not that likely, but possible.
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

I know what you mean!!! I stoped smoking weed about 3 months ago cause i started to get really self consouse about myself and think so negative and question everything i did. Everything i would do i felt like people were watching me and everytime someone would laugh or talk i felt as if it was at me. It sucked big time and ever since i stoped ive felt better then ever im not going to lie i smoked last night for the first time and i hated the fact that i even did Everything that i would worry about b4 came right back into my head! i was like WTF so i just laid back and closed my eyes went to sleep. Never again will i touch weed i guess its not a drug for me.

I don't smoke too often anymore because of the same scenario, basically.. only I would get panic attacks because of my paranoia and insecurities. I remember the days when I could smoke everyday and have a blast doing it, but those days are over. I really don't have any ambition to smoke pot because of this.
If you're not having fun doing it, it really isn't worth it. For some reason it took me forever to realize that. Getting high isn't for everybody.
But, if you do find a way to block out the bad when you smoke, and actually enjoy being high, more power to you.
