Tips on reducing Paranoia

[MrGuyUK]

hi.

Just wondering if anyone has any tips for reducing paranoia. i get it pretty bad when i smoke. even if im just with a couple of mates in an empty house and i know nobody's home for weeks.

I have to smoke outside most of the time (out and about) and its horrible when i get paranoid. even worse when somebody mentions police.

Anyone got any tips to reduce it?


Thanks in advanced!

Just keep telling yourself that your fears are just the weed. And that there is pretty much no reason to be worried. I've got an anxiety problem and that's how I get over it.

Pepsi cola is gods cure for stoners anxiety! No joke.

Before you smoke make sure you're already thinking that everbody has a life outside you and that they have their own lives to live and they cant be focused on you all the time... and if they do focus on you all the time, take it as they dont have a life outside of you and because it seems that you are one of the most important things in their life i'd be flattered if that was the case and it is the case because dont spend time or effort on someone who doesnt matter. right?

only thing to do is tell urself its just the weed. also try not to carry weed around on u. leave wat u dont need at home b/cuz if theres nothing to get in trouble about then u cant get in trouble right?

only to not be high in uncomfortable situations, which it sounds like you do a lot.
it's either that, or stop caring.
honestly and truly, if you don't care whether or not someone catches you, you won't worry about it.

but i don't reccomend it, because you should be a smart, concious stoner who realizes it's not his his best interests to get arrested.

Dunno about the Pepsi thing but try writing yourself a note prior to blazing. Mention in your note every reason why you should not be paranoid (i.e. you're alone, you don't have to be anywhere, you're with friends...blah blah) Reading somethin that you wrote intelligently while sober might put your mind at ease while you're skeed.

Drink a couple beers before smoking...helps calm the nerves

definitely.
i smoke in public a lot, not like right in the middle of a crowd, but like in public areas. and one of the most important things to do is to go into smoking thinking that your safe. if not, you can forget about not being anxious.

and keep telling yourself what crude said. everybody has a life that they're focusing on at the time. they probably don't give you a second thought aside from some kid walking on the street.

follow that advice and you'll be fine.

Being high in public sucks unless you really don't care at all... It sucks even more if you're alone DX. But when I'm smoking at home, which is what I usually do, I just blare some kinky tunes and everything and everyone is cool with me :thumbsup:
