Paranoia

[chris40]

Lately I've been a real whitey when I smoke, I tremble and twitch constantly and my heart races. I always get really paranoid about my heart racing and I always feel like my heart is bleeding or something and I can't convince myself that it isn't. It's getting to be where I can hardly enjoy smoking anymore. Any attempts to chill out(Lay down, listen to music, etc) don't work. This ever happen to any of you? What should I do about it?

[unconscious]

Lay off of it for a few days, or if you don't smoke often, possibly a few weeks.

I know exactly what you are talking about. The first, and most likely, is that it could be just a different strain of pot that your body reacts too differently than other kinds of pot. If you still have that pot, don't throw it away, just don't get really high...just get a good buzz going. But, if you have had this experience with other kinds of pot, then I would just do what unconscious said...lay off the pot for a while. That is always the key. Whenever anybody is having trouble with pot, laying off of it for a while usually is the key to fixing the problem. Good luck

I have gone through this from time to time the only variable I could see for me was the strain.

I know what you're talking about but that's is always just what I feel like when I'm really high so I'll just sit back and chill for a sec and maybe take some deep breaths?

Yeah, this happens to me sometimes too... usually when the high is wearing off. :confused:

Dude, I know exactely what you mean. I don't know if i have a low torlenance or something, but about half the time when i smoke i get like that. First the buzz is feeling good, then all of a sudden oh shit i lose my fucking mind (start twiching, heart racing, breathing deep, walking in circles etc...i.e. acting like a crackhead, lol) It usually only last for like 20 minutes or so but damn it's uncomfortable. I have noticied this effect with anethsia when i have gotten surgeries in the past. Most of the drugs that they give me make me wig out for some reason. The brain is a very complicated and mysterious thing. Usually when i start acting like this people i'm around just say, "Damn give me some of what he's smoking!"

I intially thought it was smoking via bongs, but i've gotten this way from one hitters! Then i thought that it was the strain, but i've gotten this way from the same stash, (i grow my own, and only pick certain strains) (Once i grew some white widow strain and man i was tripping my balls off all the time:stoned: ) I have even grown "weaker" strains that have less THC just so I don't get these effects and it does help a little. I have found that more sativa strains cause me more paranoia-type symptoms so now i grow mostly indica dominant strains which is also good for pain. My wife smokes a lot for medical reasons and never gets this way however. She mostly just laughs her ass off at me :D

The only conclusions that i have come up with is the total amount of THC and other canniobiods that hit your brain in a certain amount of time. For instance if you hit some really good shit, hold your breath really long ,inhale really fast (bong), then you are setting yourself up to experience some really weird shit. But if you take tiny tokes over a course of several hours then the high won't be as intense. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Like you i do enjoy the fun, laid back highs when they come and don't neccessary want to quit all together. Guess i'll just have to toke up and think on that one:smokin:

Happened to me many times,just think its a state of mind your in,i can walk in the store and feel like everyone knows im high as shit and start to noid out but then i just take in a few deep breaths collect my thoughts and tell my self its just the weed playing tricks on me.that seems to work for me atleast.hope you find a way to handle it
