But when I'm high I usually feel "Crazy" like I'm having a crazy mental breakdown. But when I'm sober I'm back to normal. Like I completely freak out if its at night and I'm really fucking high, I get so scared for NO REASON. Sometimes its crippling. I'd say either counter it with some booze or just relax and smoke only with friends or small amounts by yourself.

Also when I smoke with people I seem fine. Well if you figure it out be sure to tell me because I know what you're talking about and it SUCKS!
OMG I had exactly the same thing the other day and I smoked a joint in my room and suddently felt like pure fear. Nothing caused it and I knew it was just the drug but for about 2 hours that seemed like 2 years I was shaking and thought I had lost my mind.

I found there are 2 solutions:

1. Don't smoke alone. atleast not for now. Having people around you keeps you from falling into your own world and dwelling on depressing shit.

2. I found that when I'm high on draw I may become totally incapacicated but if my subconcious tells me something is wrong I can snap out of it. EG I can sit in a chair with my eyes closed and headphones on and be literally paralyzed but if someone walked into the room I would sort of snap out of it. I found the experience is exactly like waking up out of a dream except I had my eyes open and was fully concious.

This sounds cheesy but you need to take control of your subconcious which is infact quite easy on weed. You need do keep away from dwelling on negative thoughts and feelings.

Trust me, get stoned, listen to some relaxing music and think about sex. If a negative thought comes into your head just drive it out, don't try to understand it that makes it worse. Firsat start by taking three hits. Then put it away. Wait 40 minutes before having more and even then only do it if you want to.

Hope this helps. When I had my first bad trip I promised myselft i would never smoke weed again but now im so glad I have because weed has given me some truly amazing experiences.
