that's the weed, it's making you paranoid. It sucks.
Paranoia.
Weed has an "adrenergic" effect right after it's smoked. Meaning you get a sort of adrenalin burst, which constricts your blood vessels and raises your heart rate and blood pressure temporarily. That adrenergic response is what causes the rise in your heart rate and your paranoia. The paranoia and the tachycardia (increased heart rate) usually go together. One doesn't necessarily cause the other. It's a temporary phase, luckily. Sativa-heavy strains cause that response more than Indicas.
well the good thing is, you know youre still alive
Actually that is true, my heart some times races with out getting paranoid. I just assumed that you were getting paranoid because everyone else who tells me there heart races when they smoke also always gets paranoid.Quote:
