all right, as a semi-veteran smoke I went through the same thing. Theres just a few simple things you have to realize:

Eye Drops (Visine/Clear Eyes/Whatever) is your best friend in public places.
The smell of marijuana smoke on clothes dissipates quickly, much faster than ciggs.
I've found if you just calm down and not think about everyone watching you (theyre most likely not) being high in public rules.

Also they most likely, don't care if you're high, I think you would be surprised that there are many other public stoners around you that you don't even notice
macro Reviewed by macro on . paranoia in public hey all, i know this sounds like the stereotypical "does pot make u paranoid" post, but just read on for a little. ive been smoking daily for about 6 months now and the past few months ive noticed that i really cant go out in public when im high without getting incredibly paranoid that everyone is watching me/knows that im high. i cant tell whether i just look really stoned after i smoke (who doesnt tho?) or if im just so anxious that when i look around i think people are just staring at me.
