why do i get antsy,nervous, and think to much when stoned?

lol just take it down a notch.. Maybe this stuff is too powerful for you...

just take it easy. Don't smoke so much. You are modifying the neuronal activity of your brain when you smoke. Marijuana use is not something you dive into, test the waters with each new batch you get. And until you are familiar with yourself when you are high you should take it easy.

There was a study done on monkeys. In one 'arm' of the study they took monkeys and doused them with huge doses of marijuana smoke and got the monkeys really really stoned. Then when they gave the monkeys the ability to control how much they got (by pressing a button or something) they all stayed away from it.
The other 'arm' of the study gave the monkeys just a little bit of the marijuana smoke and the monkeys got only a little stoned. Then they gave the monkey the ability to control how much smoke they were exposed to (again i figure it was button controlled or something). Guess what happened? They continued to smoke, not huge quantities, but they were not afraid to smoke.

So, the point is this: if you get exposed to way too much you'll become deterred (essentially you'll have a bad trip). But if you take it easy you are much more likely to enjoy yourself, or receive an effective medical dose (whichever you are going for...)

If anyone wants a copy of that monkey article, i can probably find it.

In terms of more specific advice for your situation. Try smoking just a little bit, but do it in a place where you feel safe (and alone) until the effects wear off. Build for yourself a situation that won't lead to paranoia, so if you feel paranoid of other people then don't smoke with anyone until you can smoke by yourself and not freak yourself out.

I remember when i first started smoking - I liked to smoke during the day so that I could be alone and I knew that I was alone. Then later I graduated to smoking at night because smoking outside on a warm summer evening can feel like being wrapped in a blanket, thats nice. But then one day in the shadows I thought i saw people watching me and I got my first sense of paranoia - you know what I did... I flipped them off... and guess what? they weren't really there. Gradually I smoked with friends, and then friends of friends. And finally i felt secure with myself when i was stoned because i had dealt with my fears on my own terms and i had developed confidence.
