Tell him to draw a blank in his head.

What type of mental states or mood is he in when he smokes up? Whenever I'm really down most ganj gets me really introspective like your friend and I tend to dwell on mistakes/what if's a lot.
For me I can't smoke grass when I'm down. I don't get happy off it at all, and even if i do it's for a minute or two at a time max.

Get some nice indica and vape it.
Give him a gravity bong of the vaped weed.
That'll counter the more thc-prone highs he's getting, with the more sedated cbd cbn body highs. Maybe give him a shot or two before toking,
and try ambient music.

Make sure he knows that there is nothing to worry about and that nobody has ever overdosed on weed. Make sure he is in a confortable enviroment.

^ Yep, you might be smoking in an environment that you are comfortable with but he might not particularly like it. This has a major impact on your sesh.

How many times has he done it, how many times has he got high, how many different types of ganj did you smoke, how did you take it? There are a lot of variables you can consider.
Maybe it's just not his thing, which would be a shame considering he's your buddy and you love toking.

Tell him to get experienced enough to where this doesn't bother or happen anymore.

I have trouble with this, so I will give my two centavos on mota.
Try to clear the mind and turn off the little voice that constantly acts to look into the past and future to make sure everything is ok. You almost have to drop into a sort of intuitive and subconscious existence that only cares about the now. Each state of being has a sort of inertia.
You have to forget the worries of the past and present, just focusing on joy of doing whatever you want to right now.
Doing something crazy and/or completely physical might be the best way to lose all that thought.
Dance like a fool. Laugh your head off. Make funny sounds. Eat like a pig. Hump a chair. Or just change your setting or music.

Haha, word. You're right. The first time I smoked it was in my friend's car, and I felt a bit uncomfortable. It was my first time though, so I only had an idea of how the high would be, but for the most part it was unpredictable. After I smoked a few times, the paranoia and what-not went away, and me and my friends hotbox in my car all the time. Just tell your friend that there's nothing to worry, and it won't happen the next time. Weed can play major mind games on oneself, and it's all about conquering it with either 1. facing it, 2. deciding not to care because it can't hurt you anyway (<--- that is how I got over the paranoia--realizing that even though I was paranoid, the effects cannot hurt me, and I cannot overdose. So who cares, right? :)) As soon as you stop caring, the bad effects will go away, and you can enjoy yourself. And yes, environment and atmosphere play a big role. Usually if I'm smoking with someone I'm a bit uncomfortable with, aka people I don't know (friend's friends, usually), it can ruin my high a bit. But then I get over it because I realize they are high too, and I have nothing to worry about (like them judging me, or something). Keep it real, and tell your friend that he has nothing to worry about. Tell him that weed plays many mind games.

Has he ever been caught or anything like that
I got caught by my mom once
and for a year after that Getting high just stressed me out with the paranoia and what not. I just kept thinking about getting caught or judged and it ruined by high and made me act like a dumb fuck.
Enviroment is the big thing don't make him drive at rush hour and dont be like COPS! and watch him freak out.

put him in a nice chill room he is comfortable in (with no parents in the house), have some music playing in the background, and a ps2 or something. trust me, he will not sketch out anymore that day lol. he will chill out with more experience (hopefully).

i was also thinking maybe changing the quality of the weed, do u guys think i should make it really good bud or like brick weed...he always says that he likes the bad weed (this is probably just bc it got him less high tho)

I think what is happening is pure fear mixed with placebo.
When I first started (or at least the first 5+ times I smoked) I was always worried about knowing when to stop, or being to high.
What I would do with him is pack a bowl of mids, and have him take a hit evry 5-10 minutes until he is at a comfortable spot, high-wise.
Remember how many hits he took, and have him take that many next time.
Theoreticly, this will determine his good-high spot.
Also, don't be afraid of acting liek a dumbass so he laughs.
If he can focus on you being funny, other then being high as hell, he will start to understand the whole point of being high.
