why do i get antsy,nervous, and think to much when stoned?

[d00fy]

I have been smoking krppy ,thats what we call it down here in the eastern coast of the down down south. It makes me act suspicious about everyone around me making me want to stay 1 step ahead of them if they are trying to catch on to me . Also I get very antsy and I had to get prescribed to XanaX to cope with the anxiety and i am not sure why "KRPPY" gave me this feeling, but i did restrain my self for 3weeks and havent felt that feeling of anxiety, or thinking to much and worrying about things. I still take my prescription xanax for work to deal with the work anxiety but its not as bad as it was when i was smoking krppy,

3 weeks of not smoking heavy mad a big difference, i dont feel that antsy nervious , constantly being suspicious of others, weird paranoia :P

indicas and high cbd stuff does that to me, while others say it's sativa for them. I'm almost sure your bud is indica because it always seems there is 80% indica on the market, the reason being that indica matures faster and is thus a more commercially profitable plant, but indica generally gives me more paranoia and discomfort, it's obvious for me, try a good sativa sometime and see the difference, sour diesel is one of my favorites right now. Sativa takes longer to grow with lower yeilds, but the quality of the high and the unique tastes are sometimes worth it. The high of sativa is what they call more "clear headed".

King Solomon could not have said it any better. Well done fine sir, very well done indeed.

Learn to turn off your mind relax and float downstream.

This sounds like something King Solomon would never have said.

OK, so explain to this poor patient exactly HOW to accomplish your "advise", if we can call it advise.

We all have our own preference in terms of getting stoned. There are many kinds of stuffs out there that causes different effects or feeling to a person.
Being used to the feeling is another thing. Control over the effect of the stuff is not impossible.

Start by trying to be a little more open minded and a little less pissy.

unlike cigarette, marijuana has no physical components in it so , Long term use of marijuana makes us Psychologically addicted after quiting, think about the long term harmful efforts of
marijuana.

just take it easy. Don't smoke so much. You are modifying the neuronal activity of your brain when you smoke. Marijuana use is not something you dive into, test the waters with each new batch you get. And until you are familiar with yourself when you are high you should take it easy.

There was a study done on monkeys. In one 'arm' of the study they took monkeys and doused them with huge doses of marijuana smoke and got the monkeys really really stoned. Then when they gave the monkeys the ability to control how much they got (by pressing a button or something) they all stayed away from it.
The other 'arm' of the study gave the monkeys just a little bit of the marijuana smoke and the monkeys got only a little stoned. Then they gave the monkey the ability to control how much smoke they were exposed to (again i figure it was button controlled or something). Guess what happened? They continued to smoke, not huge quantities, but they were not afraid to smoke.

So, the point is this: if you get exposed to way too much you'll become deterred (essentially you'll have a bad trip). But if you take it easy you are much more likely to enjoy yourself, or receive an effective medical dose (whichever you are going for...)

If anyone wants a copy of that monkey article, i can probably find it.

In terms of more specific advice for your situation. Try smoking just a little bit, but do it in a place where you feel safe (and alone) until the effects wear off. Build for yourself a situation that won't lead to paranoia, so if you feel paranoid of other people then don't smoke with anyone until you can smoke by yourself and not freak yourself out.

I remember when i first started smoking - I liked to smoke during the day so that I could be alone and I knew that I was alone. Then later I graduated to smoking at night because smoking outside on a warm summer evening can feel like being wrapped in a blanket, thats nice. But then one day in the shadows I thought i saw people watching me and I got my first sense of paranoia - you know what I did... I flipped them off... and guess what? they weren't really there. Gradually I smoked with friends, and then friends of friends. And finally i felt secure with myself when i was stoned because i had dealt with my fears on my own terms and i had developed confidence.

Roddrumon,

You are correct in everything you said. Start with lower doses. A pipeful, maybe two hits, sit back and see if you need any more. The higher quality Indica and Sativa can hammer ya. I haven't smoked in two MONTHS. I know I'm going to have to take it easy when I do smoke again.

Plus the price is coming down. One caregiver quoted me $250 an ounce for really high quality Indica. Have to give it up, for now, though. Getting registered is TOO expensive right now.

Could be the type of weed, or if all weed does this to you then its not for you, I suppose.

il take a xanax and a a few crazy bong hits :D

[happymedicine]

Because you felt paranoid before, you will probably continue to feel paranoid in your successive attempts. The only way to stop this feeling is to realize that each time you use you will have a slightly different feeling (based on mood, physical condition, whether you have eaten, who you are with, what you have thought about all day and especially how much of what type you smoke). Maybe just smoke a hit each time you get a new strain and wait a half hour to find out how you feel. During this time, if you start feeling paranoid, just tell yourself that the paranoia is just the weed talking and that you are just focusing on the wrong aspects of the high.

Or, maybe marijuana is not for you? Some people just react poorly to it. But, my guess would be that you are just over-analyzing things when you are stoned because you can't feel your body (so your mind is the only thing you are aware of...like how mushrooms are said to affect people).

So, if you start to feel weird, just tell yourself that you will be fine in no more than an hour, and occupy yourself with something you really like to do (I play video games or build stuff, if my mind starts racing). Then, find out what type of weed yousmoked and try to stay away from it. Or just smoke less. But, just remember, the same thing has happened to many people (including myself, here and there) and they are still smoking, so obviously most people can overcome the feeling of paranoia and train themselves to focus only on the good aspects.

Also, as a side note, I tend to get these types of spells when I smoke too much sativa.

I have Chronic Anxiety and I get that same Paranoia feeling and induced Panic attacks if I Smoke somthing out of my League. Best Suggestion is to test it. I absolutley hate Sativa's. I smoke em and I'm on a sick one for a long time due to the Naturaly high THC content. I like low THC Indica with a decent CBD. The guy earlier in this post wasnt refering to CBD as making him feel paranoid as CBD is not Psycho active. It by itself has absolutely no effect on the brain at all. It simply regulates how much THC is allowed in the bloodstream after its broken down. If anything it helps Bring you down and keeps you from staying high longer. Now THC is what gives you the "high" feeling THV gives you that trashed feeling, like you feel off, just not in a good spot(this is caused by cured weed getting to much direct sunlight and air, keep it in the dark to prevent THC>THV conversion). CBG regulates how fast the effects take to set in.
EX: ZeroWing GenetiXs Mama Thai: THC:22%, CBD: .90%, CBG .87% Ok so we know this is probably gonna hit like a freaken train imma get there pretty fast(CBG:1.0+ is usually known as a "sleeper") and its gonna be a very Cerebral high. If I'm not ready for somthing this strong the THC ratio to CBD is gonna make for a high I personaly cant deal with. Now lets look at my Phatt Fruity: THC:16% CBD:1.3%, CBG:1.1% ok so now we are looking a little better the THC is much lower, the CBD is above 1.0 so its going to regulate how much THC is allowed in very well, and the CBG is high so I wont get a massive head change thats gonna scare me. It eases into the Nirvana and wont leave me there just in case I dont dig being high anymore, I'll only be high for like a hour er so and be fine after. My Mama Thai:Sativa, my Phatt Fruity: Indica, so for me the Indica are couch locking, smoother more sleepy, the Sativa's are energetic, wired up, makes me think a lot. I personaly think enough I'll stick to the soothing effects of Indica under 15% THC excluding Phatt Fruity cuz it taste amazing lol...If you suffer like me check back in a few months I'm working on a very high CBD strain from some rare Herb I collected mixed with some already High CBD strains from UK. I'm aiming for 5% CBD and up to give the best use for a "calming" herb rather than the stuff bred now which is all high THC almost no CBD, thats the Imma get you as high As I possibly can and have your head in the ceiling! Idk I dont like getting "that" high. Also Stawberry Cough , though Sativa is Anti Anxiety and is supposed to give no Panic or paranoia feeling what so ever. I havn't smoked it cuz of my past run ins with Sativa but maybe I'll get the balls to take it down one day.
hope this helped a little!
One Love
