DO YOU GET PARANOID???

[1stimegrower]

It seems every time i smoke lately, i get so worried about every little thing thats going on in my life! Whats up with that???
I just want to be relaxed and cant!

[420budtoker420]

only sometimes i do, and then it like when im at hom and i hear a noise and i think my sisters are coming or something. ad sometimes wen im tokin i thnk i hear ppl watchin haha

[DarkHairedSativa]

only when I"m smoking indica.... it might just be the kind of bud you're smoking.But that's why I like sativa better. I got so bad with panic attacks,I'd have to stay home if I was smoking so I just quit for a while and then realized it was the different strains.Not all of them have that effect.Just try different types.... or not ...LOL. :) I understand what you mean though!

[wil86]

I sometimes get a little paranoid when either when im skinning up or smoking in a place i shouldn't be.

[orangeman]

I don't get paranoid for any odd reason, like that'd be just weird. But when I'm really high for some reason I really have this thing with the cops. Even if I don't have anything on me I'm just always extra paranoid when I'm high about cops but that's about it. Oh sometimes when I'm at home and no one else is here and I'm listening to music and hear an unusual sound I grab somethin and go lookin' to see what the fuck that was lol. And DarkHaired that's funny lol. I could've sworn it was the other way around.

[FoSho]

Depends who I'm with...Nobody I smoke with has a car/house we could go to, so we usually just walk around and find a spot.

With 4/5 of the people I smoke with, yeah, cuz they're new... (Literally, they don't even realize they should put down the motherfucking pipe when a cop rolls by, so I get mad paranoid they're gonna get me busted)

With the one good smoker friend I have, never.

[igot4cheep]

Only when I am out side. My building had large AC's in the hall so all the smoke is pushed back im my place.

[burnable]

mostly I just trip about every little noise I hear outside, cause I think someone's after my grow or my kids

[O. G. ganja smoker]

i get soooo paranoid its rediculous im always walkin around with my shank nothin ever happends but it dont help, right now im not blazin (job pre employment drug test) and im not tripin at all. its always in between highs tho like if im high im always thinkin about what might go down but im not scared at all its like i dont care nothings botherin me but before and after im always trippin not on cops but just in general its funny i have my own little side routes i take to where i wanna walk to because i know my city like the back of my hand. but ive noticed it usually a good thing like the other day i was just coming down from my high and i was at my friends sisters birthday party and they had hella beer that would never get drank and i was like fuck it and put 2 beers in each pocket (they were cans) i had jeans and my jacket so all in all i had like 10 cans on me and im 18 so if i would get caught it would suck and i was like never mind and took them all out it was 3 in the mornin walkin home and right when i was almost to my house i had to walk directly infront of a cop car with 2 cops in it and for sur they were starin me down and i had an eighth on me so i was all if this dude gets out im jettin like a rocket but they never did shit hahaha but if i had all that beer 100% they would have seen the can shaped buldges lol

[LyteSkinSoulja]

I wouldn't say I be paranoid far as like being scared.....but I always got to know everything thats goin on near me. Like if I hear one little noise, I gotta check it out and then I'm straight.

[Matt the Funk]

I stopped getting paranoid a while ago, and I stopped having anxiety a while ago. Well atleast when I smoke. Sober I am paranoid and anxious.

[greatmuta]

Even after smoking for many years I still get paranoid and anxiety sometimes. :wtf: But then I remember that Marijuana is pretty much legal here. :rasta: The worst that can happen with less than an ounce is a tiny misdemeanor. :rastasmoke:

[splizzax]

i find that when i smoke:smokin:, especially when alone, i become more introspective...so depending on my perception of how my life is currently going, i can become paranoid if i am not happy with my lifestyle or current situation, but i actually appreciate this value of smoking...i feel it keeps me on the right track in life :thumbsup:

when i was younger i would get paranoid of being busted by the cops or my parents, but that has passed with time...i do however like to remain cautious in life, and believe that such a level of paranoia is healthy...in moderation!;):hippy:

[1stimegrower]

I really like your answer! Thats exactly how i feel.
You just explained me, Better than i could explain me!

[stinkyattic]

I used to.
I'd get paranoid and anxious combined, and have been over the years weeding out strains/sources of weed that have that undesirable effect on me.
I won't smoke any brick if it didn't come from the one source I know of who gets an indica brick reliably.
I've already got anxious tendencies so I always go for the body stone over the head effect, and have been able to avoid paranoia pretty well.

[GraziLovesMary]

Nope. No anxiety sober or stoned, and paranoia went away years ago, replaced by calm, instinctual assurance. I found that when I handled situations calmly, instead of allowing paranoia to get to me, everything turned out MUCH better.

[inbud]

Paranoia, strikes deep, into the heart it will creep............been years since that feeling has come over me cause of reefer....tho the man will still make my foot back off the accelerator of the car when i see him comming at me, even if i am doing the speed limit. Like the one said...it is only a little ticket and fine here now anyway, and for me not even that, still amazes me i have that little medical marijauna card and can smoke just about anytime as long as there are not any "no smoking" signs posted.

[fulltimehero]

GraziLovesMary, that's the additude I'm finally starting to have now. It leaves you being able to enjoy the high but also analyzing calmly your current situation.

[DubSack13]

i get hella paranoid lol, thats why i cant smoke and go to school

[Ganj]

Yeah, I get paranoid. However, paranoia should not just be another problem to solve. It would be ironic to sit there being paranoid, thinking about not being paranoid but never really overcoming the overwhelming sensation of paranoia. Not saying there's anything wrong with irony; it is merely fruitless is all.

[mfqr]

That's weird... indicas get you paranoid? Usually it's sativa for most people.

Anyway, I used to get paranoid. But as experience comes, the paranoia generally starts to occur very rarely, or not at all.

Really, though, if you're paranoid about something while you're high... think about it. Don't just bug out the whole time, start to think deeply about what exactly you're paranoid about. I did this and soon found out there's absolutely nothing to be paranoid about. You just have to find that logic, that's all ;). If you're paranoid about things in your life, then analyze the problems in your life while you're high. Do you smoke to get away from your problems? Just get to the bottom of it, dude. Cannabis can help you solve problems, I promise you! Well, sativas at least. Not much problem solving can be done when you're falling asleep from a heavy indica joint.

[slipknotpsycho]

depends on my surroundings actually.... well let scratch that, only time i get paraniod is when someone decides they wanna smoke driving down a road, or when i'm at my moms.... shit i get paraniod as hell at my moms... she's a hypocrite has admitted doing drugs other then weed but treats me and my brother like shit when we even so much as say anything that even makes her think about weed...

for instance (hasn't happened but shows you the mentality i'm talking about) say me and my bro are playing tony hawk

"hey dude, it says to do a 720 in a half pipe"
(from a completely diffrent room) "WHAT?! i better not have heard what i thought i heard! I DON'T WANT FUCKING DRUGS IN MY HOUSE!"

shit one time one of my mom's friends (who smoke sweed) was drunk and messing around and said "oh i see how it is, yal can't smoke with your aunt karla?" and my mom totally fucking flipped out... like we lit a joint right there, in her kitchen and was just refusing to pass it to karla or some shit... SHE FLIPPED OUT ON US CUZ MY 'AUNT' SAID SOMETHING RELATING TO WEED!

there you go, that's the mentality i have to deal with... needless to say, i could walk on eggshells with how low-pro i keep it.

Geez, now that's harsh. I guess you've got a lot of visine when you're there, huh? And yeah, I hate when people want to drive and smoke. It pisses me off, because it's not like there isn't another option. Why the fuck do they have a need to drive and smoke? Makes no sense. I'll do it, but I won't be the driver. I do get very paranoid if I'm driving while smoking. I start to think that everyone is following me because they saw me smoking weed, or something. Like they're gonna follow me until I stop, and then they're gonna try and lecture me and call the cops. LOL. That is one form of paranoia I have not been able to get over.

[Straightupg]

i wouldnt say a little, i wouldnt say a lot... but it can really bother me if im around other people, especially those who enforce marijuana laws. i just try to stay calm

[Veratyr Star]

I never have. I'm always around friends that I love and trust and being high just feels to great.

[Veratyr Star]

Wait... that makes me think...

Do we get paranoid when we smoke because it's illegal?

For those who do get paranoid, do you think you would if it was completely legal and you didn't have to worry about being caught?


DAMN YOU AMERICA!

[Ganj]

Think of paranoia as merely persecutory delusions. Why do we think horrible things to begin with? In a sense, paranoia is one's own self-inflicted persecution for their inability to rationalize the emotions they're experiencing. I try to learn from paranoia. However, I know how difficult it is to remain focused when being bombarded by delusional thoughts. If you can describe your experiences, then you're only a step away from self-reflection. I'm not always aware that the anxiety I experience is paranoia or delusional but the more I delve into the mystery; the easier it becomes to recognize, remember, and rationalize.

[chris_36824]

I never really get paranoid because I usually am smoking somewhere safe. I voted for "never".

[Purple Banana]

If I'm driving with cops around, a little bit. But other than that? No.

[slipknotpsycho]

It pisses me off, because it's not like there isn't another option. Why the fuck do they have a need to drive and smoke? Makes no sense. I'll do it, but I won't be the driver.

no i don't really get red eyes thankfully... and even if i did i'm an insomniac and a drunkard... i could blame my red eyes on either and she'd go for it...

but she never sits down for nothing... even when she sleeps she gets up at random and 'patrols' the house... it's actualy pretty damn hard to smoke over there... since she's so suspicious (she knows we do it, and knows we ain't gonna stop but for some reason looks for every oppurtunity to catch us and bitch at us for an hour on end)

usually smoking over there invovles waiting til she has just drunk herself to sleep (when she's least likely to wake up) having one person watch through the hole in the door that used to be for a door knob on my brothers door, while the other smokes out of a pipe, capping it after each hit, not letting the slightest bit of smoke rise from the bowl, and blowing out a window, sometimes even with a doob tube...

oh and being absolutely silent... lol it's how i taught myself to not cough while smoking actually... we cough she 'knows' (hell she 'knows' even when we're dry and one of us is just sick, notice the know is in ' ' tho lol)

everytime we leave the house we have to have an answer for where we're going (or if she wasn't around when we left, where we went, and then, we get questioned over it for 15 minutes with her giving us that 'i know you're full of shit but can't prove it' eye over...)


still tho the funiest thing she's done yet.. that i see ALOT of parents do and don't understand...

remember she doesn't want drugs in her house, she doesn't even want to hear about them...

she kept both the aluminum foil pipes my brother made and the metal pipe i gave him that used to be mine...she DOES NOT smoke, and they never moved from that hiding spot... yet she kept a bunch of pipes for years!

well.. what the fuck is up with that? :wtf: if you don't want that stuff in the house wouldn't the logical thing be, to throw them away?? lol...

but yeah over there, paranoia runs at a maximum... the only time ican enjoy my high over there is after everythigns put away, there's no chance of us getting caught cuz of smell, we're back in the living room chilling watching tv with all the lights off (she can still tell when we're fucked up by the looks on our faces) and she's asleep in her room... then i can finally kick back and relax..

otherwise i'm pretty much laid back and i might as well be smoking cigs... as i've found anyone who does randomly walk up on you while smoking, rarely says shit.... and anytime they do it's always been "you mind letting me have a hit off that"

if someone gives me that 'ima snitch' look, i wait til they walk off, put it out and move on to another spot... and ther have been times i didn't even bother to put it out, just kept smoking it while walking... figured no cop is gonna come with lights and sirens even if someoned oes call the police, so i got time to finish it...

[ThinkLong]

It seems like everyone looks at me, well certain people... I think they are secretly stoners too :hippy:
but whenever some one moves quick or says something sounding urgent I freak real quick like looking around for someone coming

[mfqr]

That is some crazy shit. Not sure what to say other than that.:(

[natureisawesome]

I'm not as paranoid as I used to be.

[ganjzilla]

nah i dont really get paranoid...sometimes i freak out when i hear noises and see weird shit but nothin to get paranoid bout raelly

[LIP]

If people are going to get paranoid when smoking weed it's normally sativas that do it. Indicas let you forget and not care.

But no, i have nothing to be paranoid about, sativa or indica.

[Stealth331]

Yeah I get a little paranoid from time to time.

Depends on the kind of nuggets...I got some last year that I gave away....They were too full of paranioa..lol

There is nothing better than an energetic type sativa buzz. Doesn't make me in the least bit paraniod.

[mfqr]

Yes, and I found it very strange when somebody here posted about indicas making them paranoid :wtf:. Perhaps a mix-up.

[Rabbit Lion]

i try to stay as calm as i can and just enjoy the beautiful thing that is being high :rasta:

"Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you..."

[Paulkishi]

I don't get paranoid and reasoning for that is that I am careful. Even when driving, I consider myself to not get paranoid. At home there is no fear of being caught because nobody cares that i smoke pot, and while driving, pressure is lowered cuz more times than none I am on a straight road using cruise control going the speed limit.
