Constantly agitated

Lately I've been having an issue where I'm just straight-up much more irritable than I typically am.

It's hard to describe the feeling. Sometimes it feels like I just drank a gallon of coffee. Other times it gets worse and feels almost like the adrenaline rush you have right before you get into a fight.

At first it would only happen when I stopped smoking for a while. I notice it more and more now even during times when I have recently smoked.

The only thing I can figure is that I've gotten into the habit of smoking most of my weed at night after I've had a few beers already. As alcohol increases the effect of the marijuana, I think I've ultimately raised my tolerance so high that smoking without drinking first isn't enough anymore (at least not with the fairly average pot I currently have). I don't drink until the evening at the earliest aside from maybe an occasional beer at lunch, so this could potentially be a problem.

I just don't like how I've started to get angry more quickly, take offense to things more quickly, and have very little patience.

I'm curious if others have encountered anything similar and how you handled it.

How much do you smoke? how often and how much. I had a friend who needed to quit bud for awhile, And he was a really nasty SOB for about 2 weeks and after that he started to get better. Maybe you just need to cut down a little, let your tolerance drop, and then use weed to numb yourself again. Tbh, if weeds causing you to change then maybe you need to cut down quite abit? I love to smoke as much as the next man but i sure as shit would make changes if it was changing the way i think and react in a negative way. Maybe there's something else in you're life that's making you aggressive and your just being calmed down when you smoke and then when you down the other factor raises you into a agitated state?

I doubt it has a thing to do with the weed, particularly since, you describe it as 'average' weed. Since, I get med. grade, I know the difference:jointsmile:.

I can relate to what you are experiencing. :(I was talking on the phone to a member and described the same thing. He said, "Itz Road Rage." Only because I was driving when I told him about it and the most recent example of my bad behavior was driving--that took the brunt of it.

Being a long time toker here, I have never experienced anything like it. I've been doing alot of self thought and looking at my relationships in life to see what is going on. 2 days ago my brother was speaking to me on the phone, I asked him to repeat what he said, he did and was very rude:wtf:> I told him to F. . k you and hung up on him. If you knew me in real life, that is not how I behave. It only took me down to his level, but it ended my pain of the constant rudeness. But, part is him, instead of telling people how he feels-he is all about his 'beliefs,' which I do not subscribe to nor disavow.


I can't seem to relate it to my weed, at all! It has been brewing for awhile. Maybe it is my frustration with U.S.A. civilization all together. It is an election year and we are losing more of our rights all the time. As, people start talking politics-I shutter to think what is a template for the way one votes.


I have been smoking more sativa lately, too. Maybe that could be it, IDK, I am not going to worry about it.

I definitely can relate to the coffee feelings and this. In fact, I think it is more my coffee than mmj. Except, I haven't had coffee and I was feeling that way. Definitely, I can relate.

I just smoke more and chill. I'll go for less sativa and let you know if it made a difference. I am not quitting over it, I am off a host of other medications, I will never take again and my mmj works just fine.:rasta: pr

Blazing or not, I think it's just normal to feel some kind of rush, feel agitated or even lash out at times. The fun part is when they happen too frequently that they can no longer be called normal because then you'll have more opportunities to exercise self-restraint. Treat it as a challenge on how well you can hold back and rule over your emotions. Just look at how smart the Terminators are lol:D. But seriously, anger literally makes you dumber, it lowers IQ. If you learn to conquer it, I think you'll be able to act rationally even when pressured. Brain-weights man, brain-weights. Just makes it more challenging to contemplate first before doing something.

Here's the way I see your situation; You're still living a healthy life since you're examining it. You're taking the first steps of conquering your agitations by recognizing them. I think that's all there is to it. You've already recognized them, determined that they are wrong and now there's only one thing to do, suppress them. I wouldn't advice you to smoke more, although it would be good hahah, since it will only be an alibi for when you have outbursts later on. Rather, deal with it by yourself.
