    Paranoia?

    I don't know if "Introduce Yourself" is the right place for this or not but - here goes...

    Has anyone here experienced extreme paranoia from smoking MJ? It's happened to me twice, and it really freaked me out BAD! To the point that I'm afraid to smoke it again, but I really miss that euphoria that I felt all the other times.

    Anyone have a similar story? How did you handle it? Are you still smoking? Please share your story; I really need to know what to do now...Life without getting high sucks big time (it's been two weeks since I last smoked.)

    Paranoia?

    was that the first time you smoked? anyway when I smoked for the first the time in like 10 months I got paranoid and a little messed up but through out the week I had it I just delt with it and when Saturday came I smoked a bowl and I didnt have the paranoia anymore, so try to smoke a little bit more and see how you feel.

    Paranoia?

    [align=center]In my experience any drug can have the potential for the "bad trip". Very unpleasant stuff, but it teaches you so much about how to cope with bad situations. I find the challenge really quite fun. Once you've "mastered" a drug by learning how to cope...your sober experiences with bad situations seem like childs play![/align] :smokin:

    Paranoia?

    It is most likely panic attacks. my friend had weed induced panic attack to the point of shaking and weird heart rythms and breathing. He was forced to quit. he then switched to Glass (fuckin dumbass) but he did go to the hospital for those panic attacks. Weed sets off a chemically imbalanced brains. If you are a manic depressive or if you have bipolar disorder it can affect you good and help, or it can affect you bad and give you worsened symptoms of the disorder.

    Paranoia?

    I smoked weed for years and loved the effects. one day after a few years went by, out of high school starting collage and the responsabilties of life started piling up. I started having bad trips every time!
    The only time I have a good time smoking reefer now, is when i get away from the kids with my wife & go to my Dads ranch away from everything! I truley believe its the responsability of life that maKes me have a bad trip. I can NEVER smoke while my kids are around, I start hearing voices like "your a roten father" LOL!
    Weed is a get way drug for me now. We go on trips, we bring weed. I grow the shit in my closet once a year and save it for trips! The left overs..I give away. TRY SMOKING SOME WITH GOOD FRIENDS THAT LIKE TO HAVE FUN AND LAUGH ALOT, DON'T SMOKE ALONE.

    Paranoia?

    Thanks for all your input. I've had this kind of "attack" twice (the first time it happened, I hadn't smoked for several months; but this recent time I'd been smoking daily for about a month.)

    Interestingly, both paranoid episodes stemmed from a fear of being caught. Hardly anybody knows I smoke, and somehow the tiny little fear in my head that someone might find out and that I'd get busted (by the law) just spiraled out of control. Just like the good feelings can get magnifyed thousands of times over making everything euphoric, this time it went in the other direction and the most preposterous scenarios seemed totally possible and led me to believe that my life was ruined.

    Of course, it wore off after a couple of hours or so, but it left me so shaken that I've been afraid to go near it since. (After the first time this happened, it was years before I smoked again.)

    I can't help but wonder, though: if it was legal and there wasn't so much stigma attached to it, would it even be possible for me to go over the edge like that? (Or maybe some other little nagging doubt or fear in my head would be the seed of a paranoia attack...don't know.)

    Part of it does have to do with responsibility. I think I'm probably much older and "settled" than a lot of folks here - got a professional job, a house (no family) and am fairly well-respected at my job. So many people would be shocked to know that I like to get high.

    But I'm a very creative person (musically) and MJ just opens up my mind to so many things I've never been able to tap into in any other way. When it's good (as it is most of the time) it's DAMN good. (Mix it with sex, and goddamn! I'm in fucking heaven!!)

    Anyway, that's my story. At this point I only have a tiny bit left - just enough for one, maybe two evenings of bliss (hopefully). I don't want to smoke it because 1) then I'll be out and have to find some more - a very difficult thing to do, since I don't have any connections (good old college days - it was so easy then!) and 2) I don't know how it will affect me - could be great, could be awful and 3) my "significant other" knows about the last episode and has all but forbidden me from going near the stuff anymore - so now I'd have to be even MORE secretive!

    So I don't know what I'll do, but it really is helpful to have this site where there are people who understand and can "listen" to me talk it out and offer feedback.

    Thanks again - and happy smokin'!

    PS :thumbsup:

    Paranoia?

    Word man I know what your going through.I used to get them FREQUENTLY like as soon as I smoked my heart would go out of control because I was expecting it.Its mainly a mental thing.You just have to chill, try to have a good time, get up and walk around and pace, breath deep breaths and chill, think of things that will put you in a good mood, like going to the movies that friday or hanging with some friends that night.YOU JUST GOT TO CHILL, I swear you'll feel better.Keep telling yourself its mental and it will pass.I havn't had one in awhile, well I did this saturday because I had unbelievable cotton mouth and we were walking.But I over came it.Just chill and try doing the things I said.A cup of water or some food will help take your mind off of it.
