It's a well known fact that paranoia is a possible side-effect of cannabis consumption.
I had a pretty bad paranoia high a few weeks ago. They're not nice.
I get paranoid now sometimes when im sober....I'll walk into my house listening to my mp3 player, and think I hear kids yelling(I live in a more mature neighbourhood...they dont like me)...I take off my mp3 player, look about...nothing, nobody there...Then I stick the music back on and I hear it again....
when i first started smoking in my room i would get like that, now i know that i wont get caught and am used to taking the necessary saftey procedures so i never get scared anymore.
I have a theory. At least it works to explain how I feel, and I've noticed this a lot.
What weed does for me (besides getting me high) is increasing the sensitivity of at least some senses. I can hear and track sounds better while high, for instance.
My theory is that this increased awareness is the cause for the paranoia when for instance I'm walking back home while high -- I can hear the wind clearly, my own steps, the water tripping on the plants etc, and maybe that's where it comes from -- you're dealing with more (and unusual) information which is not "registered" as a pattern.
Dunno if that's the kind of paranoia you're talking about, but that's how it goes for me.
The only time I get way paranoid is when i'm stealing and i'm high. Or if I see a police car.
I get paranoid about being killed if im home alone and its night...haha Its stupid i know but I always see shit out of the windows...
little kids that are afraid mommy and daddy are going to catch them smoking weed/stoned. Sorry if this came across rude or something but for the most part is is kids that are posting about getting paranoid. Honestly, if you can't handle the effects from smoking or know your parents don't agree with it, wait until you're out from under them and living on your own.Quote:

Paranoia can be a range of things, like "Oh no, I think my heart is going to stop, call 911." or anything, really. I've had one paranoid high, and I thought my heart was going to stop, or blow up. It was my first time smoking, and the feelings were too overwhelming. It's just a matter of experience. You can talk yourself out of paranoia. I had a slight paranoia a couple weeks ago... thought I was going to pass out, but I talked myself out of it, so I don't consider it a paranoid high. It just takes experience. Also, usually the paranoia can come from sativa strains (the real cerebral head highs).
For anyone out there who gets paranoid, just keep smoking, and you'll learn to control it.
long term marijuana use in young teens is known to lead to scizophrenia...thank god i started in my late teens? :wtf:
Actually, when I thought about that, that's how it sorta is for me too... it goes away with tolerance, but especially when I first started, I realized I seemed more sensitive to things. Good theory.Quote:
