i was just sitting here bored as hell and wondering about the paranoia you get from weed. is it an actua mental reaction to the weed, or is it just due to fear of getting caught? what i mean is this. if weed werent illegal, looked down upon or looked as as menacing, or thought of as bad or any worse than cigarettes, would there be any real paranoia. i got to thinking about this because when i was only smoking hitters or really small pieces i never got paranoid but a few months ago when i first start smoking my bigger piece in my car i started getting paranoid ass fuck about getting caught. i mean this isnt something i could really just discretely toss out the window. so what im wondering is does the paranoia come from the weed itself or the situation (like is it drug induced paranoia, or the same type of paranoia that comes with driving around a car you just stole, like situational). cause when im not drving but am in a car smoking then i dont get paranoid at all. also if there are more people in the car and i am driving i dont get as paranoid, and if i am smoking out of a car in a situation where i know im not going to get caught by anyone who cares i dont get paranoid at all. the problem is when it happens ill realize i am paranoid and start thinking about this exxact same shit ill be like am i really paranoid, or is it the weed, and start going in circles like that then thinking that just thinking about the paranoia makes it worse, an act that in and of itself probably makes things worse, and so on. i am bored as hell, so that post was too long for what it said
