Paranoia spoiling your times?

I think I may have figured out, at least in my case, what causes paranoia while getting high. I think it's the almost unavoidable underlying thought that you could possibly get caught, no matter how careful you are. And that can be scary as hell. Even while I may not consciously be worrying about getting caught, the underlying reality of it causes me a bit of uneasiness, which in my case causes mild paranoia.
Or maybe it's paranoia causing me to go on with this ridiculous train of thought. Crap, I haven't figured out anything!

Whenever I get paranoid I just take a deep breath and tell myself, "You know it's gonna be all right." :hippy:

Because most of the time (for me anyway) I'm just tripping out and have nothing to worry about.

One time I just remember I was sooo high and happy that I really wasnt paranoid, but I was still careful about being caught at my house. It must have been some really good weed.
So, experiment a little? This was one of my only times like that. So what I guess Im saying is, experiment more? I dont know. haha :D

If it wasn't illegal I don't think I would have any reasons to worry. I blame the government!

Word. Where the personal freedoms at? America should be as the Fore Fathers wanted it.

whenever I'm outside and smoking I'm always paranoid, the only time I'm not is when I'm actually hitting whatever it is. remember one time I was looking all around and hearin shit then looked real quick to my left and thought I saw a guy in all white walk behind a bush that was close to me. haha I didnt know what to do and started pacing with my bowl in hand. But as soon as i took another hit I didn't give a care. lol I lovvveee weed. and If we're smoking a blunt in the car I used to get paranoid about cops being everywhere but after a while you pass alot that are doing radar checks or whatever and they don't pull behind you, you just laugh and stop worrying about em.

No paranoia don't bug me anymore I am an old school stoner. Check http://boards.cannabis.com/experienc...ia-public.html

Sometimes it really, really kills my high.

I used to get super paranoid when i first started. Its a buzz kill and it pisses off people when they're trying to do something and your jittering gets in their way. Now that i've been smoking for a while its rare, usually only when i get high when i have to do something important. But then again, i wouldnt want to be paranoid about being high when doing something important.

Its understandable, but you gotta control it because it can really ruin a fun night. However not doing stupid shit helps. I mean not all paranoia is unfounded, if i was driving while smoking a J i'd be paranoid. I wouldnt let it control me but i dont think i'd want to be in a position like that and not have some part of me worry.

to avoid this i keep myself busy, i go on hikes in my canyon, play video games, watch a movie. if you just sit there, you start thinking way too much about everything.
