Do I just need to get used to being high? Do any of you feel like your not "there" when your high?

Maybe there is a strain that doesn't Depersonalize you as much.

Other than that I have no complaints about pot.

Thanks,

I have found that the more i think about how high i am, the more paranoid i become. You need to keep yourself occupied. Maybe toke with some friends, listen to some relaxing music, and generally have that positive attitude before you start blazing up. I have also found that some tokers are worried about the paranoia effects even while thier stoned, and as result, they get paranoid. Remember, Just think POSITIVE, and enjoy the buzz. It's not as though pot is gonna kill you.
