marijuana and phobias

[Frequency]

It seems that whenever I smoke weed, all these fast-racing thoughts of my worst phobias starts wrestling with my high and I keep seeing such detailed and grotesque images. (sometimes) this happen for anyone else?

Sometimes.

I know that if I'm not in a good place emotionally, I can have a bad high. My mind will just grab 'hold of some bad, fleeting thought and just run with it. How long have you been smoking? Are you unusually stressed lately? I'd have to say that if I felt like that every time I got high, I'd stop.

[mellow mood]

yea i can get bad high like those sometimes, but not refering to phobias. just rush of unpleasant toughts. i hate it. i just try to concentrate on music, yea music is the best to make a high better

Roger that. Just play something upbeat and try thinking about something happy. Before you know it, your phobias will be erased from your inhibited short-term memory.

When I used to hang out with some friends about 30 minutes away and smoke, my girl would always call and ask me when I was leaving, who was I with, etc.
So then I would feel a combination of annoyance and guilt.
Then I would have these bad thoughts of something bad happening to her because I wasnt at home (I guess her calls worked!)
So then we would blast some loud rap and good moods would return :)

That's funny you should bring this up. Just the other day I got high and was listening to NPR. They were having a story about the Iraq war and how many ppl died. I just started thinking about those poor people and their families and children dying and our solders, who are mostly 18, 19, 20... Then I started thinking about what happens when one dies, what will happen when I die. If there is an afterlife or if it's just the end... worm food. Got me really depressed and scared. I just switched off the radio and popped in a Primus CD and tried not to think about it. It worked. So the lesson: DON'T GET STONED AND LISTEN TO NPR! haha

sometimes, i think ive lost control of my left hand and its trying to kill me. and then all of a sudden my left hand starts like, pouncing at my face. yes im crazy, but it scares the shit out of me when im stoned. lol

[kimchibanana]

yea for real i start thinking that bugs are going to come out and get me or some shit and triop ballz

[Lurker]

my biggest fear is height n i go mountaineering a lot! lol n it sux when i could remeber those times when you nearly fall off a deep ridge then i get so paranoid n shit makes climbing a pain! n those pitch black holes scare me a lot

it's starting to get hard to control my thought when im high..

[GTC21]

I get it most of the times I smoke. It used to freak me out when I first starting smoking my skunk but as you learn to handle it better you can ignore it.
I used to get horrible images in my head and feel paranoid and stuff. I still get a little paranoid now when I smoke but I don't let it bother me, I know it's only the weed that's doing it.

THATS FUCKED SUMTIME IG GET FUNNY THOUGHTS BUT JUST LIKE THEY POP UP THEY GO, TAKE YA MIND OF IT :)

[hoodedclum]

sometimes i get that when im smoking some really strong bud, or if i have a break for a while then smoke up again. but like someone else mentioned, its pretty easy to overcome, just whack on some tunes and find somthing to stop the mind wandering, it soon goes away and you can carry on with being high. :D

[Chronic]

I often get scared of the dark when I'm stoned, dunno why. I also have a very weird smoking partner that has said stuff so fucked up that I have actually run away.

[BluntArtist]

After reading this post I'll start thinking about my clausterphobia while I'm high...congratulations, next thing you know I'll be institutionalized.

[Oli]

I get a little paranoia every now and again but who doesn't? I reckon it mainly comes from the thought somewhere in the back of your mind that you could be arrested for this...

[Kid Dynamite]

i sometimes get fucked up feelings in my head.

LIke lying on the floor in the park with the wind blowing like mad after smoking a big spliff of solid (soapbar) and i kept thinking that the world was splitting apart and i would fall right down inside it. Wasnt so much scary as vivid.

[Smokey McPot]

Usually if im paranoid about getting caught or im smoking in a bad spot that i dont like i get bad feelings. Or with some of the fuck ups i smoke with. I look at them and think "i hope i dont turn into a complete loser like them"

[juggalo420]

once in a while ill get really paranoid that my friends really arent my friends and their playing some kind of fucked up joke on me.

[WEED]

wow...that's really current for me right now...a lot of the times i have these weird thoughts of noses getting broken in my shovel heads and nasty shit like that. I kept having this picture of a nose with needles in it and like pencils getting shoved up the nostrils of people and the blood plastering the grass to a red coating. heh...I hate it. Sometimes music helps it...actually usually always. But the pictures don't bother me cus it helps me be more vibrant with my art and shit. : ]

Yeah, recently Iv been trying to avoid things such as bad thoughts and paranoia while stoned. Just gotta keep in mind that the drug is meant to be enjoyed :D

I am so glad this was made a topic.

I also freak from time to time, I guess Marijuana can cause paranoia but if it was legal would we still be paranoid?

Anyways I will think about things I did and said that day and think about how it looks to others but when I ask my wife about the situation she tells me she didn't take it that way untill I said something about it high.

Umm not really with what i was scared of, but we went camping and all day we'd see spiders and bugs, and i got real high before i went to bed in the tent and when id be laying there with my eyes closed i see spiders, and bees flying around, and thats all i could see when i closed my eyes, lol it sucked.
