That's weird... indicas get you paranoid? Usually it's sativa for most people.

Anyway, I used to get paranoid. But as experience comes, the paranoia generally starts to occur very rarely, or not at all.

Really, though, if you're paranoid about something while you're high... think about it. Don't just bug out the whole time, start to think deeply about what exactly you're paranoid about. I did this and soon found out there's absolutely nothing to be paranoid about. You just have to find that logic, that's all ;). If you're paranoid about things in your life, then analyze the problems in your life while you're high. Do you smoke to get away from your problems? Just get to the bottom of it, dude. Cannabis can help you solve problems, I promise you! Well, sativas at least. Not much problem solving can be done when you're falling asleep from a heavy indica joint.

depends on my surroundings actually.... well let scratch that, only time i get paraniod is when someone decides they wanna smoke driving down a road, or when i'm at my moms.... shit i get paraniod as hell at my moms... she's a hypocrite has admitted doing drugs other then weed but treats me and my brother like shit when we even so much as say anything that even makes her think about weed...

for instance (hasn't happened but shows you the mentality i'm talking about) say me and my bro are playing tony hawk

"hey dude, it says to do a 720 in a half pipe"
(from a completely diffrent room) "WHAT?! i better not have heard what i thought i heard! I DON'T WANT FUCKING DRUGS IN MY HOUSE!"

shit one time one of my mom's friends (who smoke sweed) was drunk and messing around and said "oh i see how it is, yal can't smoke with your aunt karla?" and my mom totally fucking flipped out... like we lit a joint right there, in her kitchen and was just refusing to pass it to karla or some shit... SHE FLIPPED OUT ON US CUZ MY 'AUNT' SAID SOMETHING RELATING TO WEED!

there you go, that's the mentality i have to deal with... needless to say, i could walk on eggshells with how low-pro i keep it.

Geez, now that's harsh. I guess you've got a lot of visine when you're there, huh? And yeah, I hate when people want to drive and smoke. It pisses me off, because it's not like there isn't another option. Why the fuck do they have a need to drive and smoke? Makes no sense. I'll do it, but I won't be the driver. I do get very paranoid if I'm driving while smoking. I start to think that everyone is following me because they saw me smoking weed, or something. Like they're gonna follow me until I stop, and then they're gonna try and lecture me and call the cops. LOL. That is one form of paranoia I have not been able to get over.

i wouldnt say a little, i wouldnt say a lot... but it can really bother me if im around other people, especially those who enforce marijuana laws. i just try to stay calm

I never have. I'm always around friends that I love and trust and being high just feels to great.

Wait... that makes me think...

Do we get paranoid when we smoke because it's illegal?

For those who do get paranoid, do you think you would if it was completely legal and you didn't have to worry about being caught?


DAMN YOU AMERICA!

Think of paranoia as merely persecutory delusions. Why do we think horrible things to begin with? In a sense, paranoia is one's own self-inflicted persecution for their inability to rationalize the emotions they're experiencing. I try to learn from paranoia. However, I know how difficult it is to remain focused when being bombarded by delusional thoughts. If you can describe your experiences, then you're only a step away from self-reflection. I'm not always aware that the anxiety I experience is paranoia or delusional but the more I delve into the mystery; the easier it becomes to recognize, remember, and rationalize.

I never really get paranoid because I usually am smoking somewhere safe. I voted for "never".

If I'm driving with cops around, a little bit. But other than that? No.

no i don't really get red eyes thankfully... and even if i did i'm an insomniac and a drunkard... i could blame my red eyes on either and she'd go for it...

but she never sits down for nothing... even when she sleeps she gets up at random and 'patrols' the house... it's actualy pretty damn hard to smoke over there... since she's so suspicious (she knows we do it, and knows we ain't gonna stop but for some reason looks for every oppurtunity to catch us and bitch at us for an hour on end)

usually smoking over there invovles waiting til she has just drunk herself to sleep (when she's least likely to wake up) having one person watch through the hole in the door that used to be for a door knob on my brothers door, while the other smokes out of a pipe, capping it after each hit, not letting the slightest bit of smoke rise from the bowl, and blowing out a window, sometimes even with a doob tube...

oh and being absolutely silent... lol it's how i taught myself to not cough while smoking actually... we cough she 'knows' (hell she 'knows' even when we're dry and one of us is just sick, notice the know is in ' ' tho lol)

everytime we leave the house we have to have an answer for where we're going (or if she wasn't around when we left, where we went, and then, we get questioned over it for 15 minutes with her giving us that 'i know you're full of shit but can't prove it' eye over...)


still tho the funiest thing she's done yet.. that i see ALOT of parents do and don't understand...

remember she doesn't want drugs in her house, she doesn't even want to hear about them...

she kept both the aluminum foil pipes my brother made and the metal pipe i gave him that used to be mine...she DOES NOT smoke, and they never moved from that hiding spot... yet she kept a bunch of pipes for years!

well.. what the fuck is up with that? :wtf: if you don't want that stuff in the house wouldn't the logical thing be, to throw them away?? lol...

but yeah over there, paranoia runs at a maximum... the only time ican enjoy my high over there is after everythigns put away, there's no chance of us getting caught cuz of smell, we're back in the living room chilling watching tv with all the lights off (she can still tell when we're fucked up by the looks on our faces) and she's asleep in her room... then i can finally kick back and relax..

otherwise i'm pretty much laid back and i might as well be smoking cigs... as i've found anyone who does randomly walk up on you while smoking, rarely says shit.... and anytime they do it's always been "you mind letting me have a hit off that"

if someone gives me that 'ima snitch' look, i wait til they walk off, put it out and move on to another spot... and ther have been times i didn't even bother to put it out, just kept smoking it while walking... figured no cop is gonna come with lights and sirens even if someoned oes call the police, so i got time to finish it...
