I am pretty much the same as Thai, I was always paranoid back in the 70's as a teen then went into the military and stopped using marijuana for 20 years. Then after medical problems it was recommended to me and I tried it and found quite a bit of relief. One of the biggest things I think is that now I don't have to be paranoid and can and do really enjoy the high better now along with the pain relief. I do prefer a sative dominant for the day time and indica for night as well as no paranoid feelings at all with tincture or butter/edibles
