I need some advice, Is pot ruining me?

[EternalOverdose]

Lately i have been noticing that i have been having such horrible highs,

When i smoke, 90% of the time, unless im alone, i get the following feelings...
-paranoid
-horrible pasties and breath
-unable to relax
-no security
-unbelievably low self esteem
-feeling as if i am a blue stick figure in a huge pile of red stick figures.

Am i simply just a reck of a teenager suffering puberty,
or is weed the main cause of my insecurities.

Weed won't Cause you to think something.
However, psychedelics have a tendency to further your introspective abilities.
Either you've been conditioned to feel this way over time,
or you already have low-self esteem and feel ostrasized maybe?
and weed is merely allowing you to become more aware of yourself in a social environment.

The paranoia and inability to relax... well... Sometimes weed isn't for everyone.
Sometimes you need to learn how your own mind works before you can overcome these types of problems.
And sometimes maybe you just need to smoke more indica strains, which produce a more lethargic, calm, less speedy and on edge feeling.


The pasties? (dunno) and breath, well, brush your teeth and drink lots of water.

I smoke by myself to avoid an un-relaxed high, it just isn't worth it for me.
But that does indicate that rather than change my environment, I should change my interpretation, which is the true cause of such feelings.

Everything is within you.
It is up to you to decide how to organize your own world.

From my experience, that sounds more like just getting fed up with your environment. I feel the same way, completely seperated from everyone else anymore... instead of focusing on the drugs, look at your environment. Look at your relationships with others, and how you are at school, work, etc. Try and find ways how those interactions may cause you to feel sad, low-esteem, or as if you're a blue-stick person among all red-stick people.

Once you rule any of that out, then maybe the cannabis is causing it. How often do you smoke, on average?

Your fine, just make sure you're smoking around friends that respect you. Not being paranoid, being able to relax, etc, means you have to be comfortable in your environment.

Hey friend! It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of things that young people have to deal with. It sounds like weed may not be causing your problems, but it is certainly adding to your confusion of youth. Maybe now just isn't the right time in your life for you to be smoking, consider taking a break until you're older. Also, it sounds like you don't really enjoy being high, so why are you doing it?

You just need to smoke more and build up your talerance it will all work out dogg..

Is that all that you feel? I mean, if that is then you're obviously not taking the drug for enjoyment.

Personally, I'd advise you not to take it for a while. It's only ever made me paranoid once, and It wasn't a nice experience.

Weed's probably bringing suppressed emotions to the surface, so I'd focus on tacking them first.

isnt weed a mood enhancer so you should only do it when ur chillin and relatively happy

i would lay off for a bit tho and pick up in a few weeks or months
