I'm done with weed.....

I've felt like this several times. I got paranoid as hell by myself also which was very weird one time. I was just thinking about my life and everyone in my life, etc.

But now, I really don't get paranoid anymore, you really have to teach your mind to relax and just chill.

Keep talking and shit, cause i hate smoking then everyone gets quiet and it reallly sucks cause you go into that deep thinking shit. You have to be social on weed, its already an anti-social drung so if your not social on it, its gonna suck. Well thats how it is for me anyway.

I almost NEVER get paranoid unless im smoking with someone i dont really know or like. I've found smoking weed and drinking alcohol in combination works GREAT for the paranoia thing.

 

Something I noticed, when I used to smoke a lot of weed back in october 07 until late January 08, I was extremely paranoid and that problem stopped during somewhere the summer. I haven't smoked pot since a month now but before that I haven't smoked pot for around 5 months and my paranoia was kinda gone. Weed had done that too me.

 

yea I don't smoke anymore either... originally for the bf but now for myself.... I just don't want to be that girl... it's time to grow up I can have fun sober

 

You might think your mister hot shot smoking everyday for one year (haha). But there might be one day where you have to question your life. How will you look back on these days? What will you even remember? For me the past years are for the most part all blurred together. You might come to the point where you realize theres way more to life than just getting high, coming down then smoking again to ease the comedown. Dont get me wrong, i love ganja a lottt. I still will continue to smoke but not at the rate i used to. smoking everyday catches up to you, not physically but mentally. The key is to find the perfect balance between sobriety and high-time. It took me a while to figure this out but now that I have, life is so much better. I was beginning to become disgusted with myself after a while because my life was nothing past weed. It was just an endless journey to get high again, which is silly. To experience true life and to really enlighten yourself you have to be sober sometimes.

 

that always happens to me when i smoke marijuana it feels like a got to hide my face and my mind just goes and i start walking around looking like i am an ape

scares me when you cant contol your thoughts to anything else

and it just feels like i am going to die when i do it and then i start getting all paranoid about dying

but then you have those experiences over and over long enough and you just get use to it because your like

"yeah nothing bad ever happens when i get that stoned so why am i still worrying about it?"
i mean it will sounds like that after along time "this always happens to me with the paranoia but nothing bad ever comes from it. other then feeling really paranoid"

 

mm hmm, verily. I hear that in Holland the term "junky" is reserved for anyone who does too much of anything, be it weed, alcohol, or w/e. They're better at seeing this fine line you refer to. I don't even think it's that fine a line if you are self-content before toking up.

I've some experience smoking in circles with very low intellectual/social standards,and it is frustrating. but Rather than giving in to the feeling of loserhood I make those people interesting instead of waiting for someone to demonstrate some ideal that I have. You can be interesting enough on your own no matter who you're around, even if it's just daydreaming while your bonehead friends play video games.

of course, if your friends are so low as to not tolerate you being yourself, they can summarily fuck off

 

get busted or something? Scared? Bad trip? What do you mean you don't want to be "that girl"???

 

I would rather have a relationship than be high all of the time... I'm in college now and all the people do in my dorm is get high, drink, and have sex... I don't even have fun high... I agree with whoever said they look in the mirror and feel ugly... getting high is not a priority to me and it shouldn't be it makes me feel like a loser

 

i'm guessing it makes you feel like a loser because your parents or authority figures told you it makes you a loser, either that or too much DARE brainwashing. I have a relationship and smoke +3 times a day. I work full time, pay my bills, make money, may rent, pay taxes, paint, read, write, hike, etc. Since I started smoking I've been happier than ever.

 

Holy shit I'm remembering some times when I got paranoid as hell in my house alone. Walking around stealthy as hell with a gun or a knife looking for someone or something that shouldn't be there. Yeah, I almost forgot about that. That was when I was smoking everyday, recently I slowed way down as a monetary issue, and it's helped big time.

 

my parents have failed to speak to me about pot and I havn't taken DARE since 5th grade I smoked week from 10th to 12th grade.... I'm just growing up and taking care of myself don't get annoyed that not everyone thinks you're cool b/c you are high

 

How is smoking Marijuana not taking care of yourself? Its cool if it's not for you because you don't like it, but to say its bad for you and is a dumb immature thing is immature in itself.
Some Adults smoke and get childish, some smoke and become more clear-headed, some kids smoke and seem more mature and some seem more childish. Being an herb that affects everyone differently allows it to be such an interesting experience. Not everyone smokes weed to be cool, if that's why you did it in the first place then it's a damn good thing you stopped.

 

Like KingGeorgeIII said, how the hell does smoking weed made you grown up and taking care of yourself? you're 18, you're barely legal, still a teen. Do you live on your own? do you pay bills and taxes?

 

Exactly!! It is the most horrible thing. Thinking about your life and people around you doesnt sound bad but it is!!It makes you feel like your life is in dooms!

I have also had the "feel like I'm about to die" paranoia. That happend to me a few times but the first time was the absolute worst. I was 1 second away from calling the ambulance.Luckly I called my mom and confessed I was using drugs and stuff.It got a little better after that but it still was scary. It felt like I was on a roller coaster to death....... Dude paranoia on weed is the worst.. Its like NOTHING in your life is right. Its like you change what song you are listining to hoping it will make the paranoia better but it only makes it worse. Every TV station is annoying and making the high worse. lol just lots of crazy shit.

 

dude, for me it puts everything in perspective... a lot LESS scary. I can't imagine how just a weed high could freak someone out so much.

 

no but I care about my health... if weed helps you that's cool whatever a lot of my friends smoke weed and I'm cool with it but don't put me down by saying Dare programs got me to stop when I'm just taking care of myself however I can... you're right weed wasn't good for me so I stopped I said nothing about other people being immature although I do think it is maladaptive to say weed helps you clear your head.... you can take a bubble bath for a lot less money

 

wow if you actually believe what you say you are brainwashed.
1. Cannabis is no more dangerous than smoking cigarettes... and breathing in fumes from giant gas guzzling Hummers. DARE and the media waaay exxagurate the health effects of weed. Its actually very healthy for your mind and spirit.
2. If you think smoking and taking a bath produce the same feeling I doubt you've ever smoked before, and if you did it must have been dirt weed. Smoking a fat bowl and suddenly feeling one with creativity and the universe is a lot better then a bath full of chemically enhanced soaps that contain preservatives, artificial coloring and fragrances, and detergent.

 

I only have a shower, no bathtub.

Seriously though you said not smoking weed is taking care of yourself... if you aren't talking about health concerns, could you please elaborate on what you mean?

Also you said quitting smoking was growing up. The implication there would be that smoking weed is childish.

I'm not really trying to attack you whatsoever, and I'm actually glad that you're able to realize weed isnt right for you and stop. I used to smoke 2-5 times a day a couple months ago and now I've smoked 2-5 times this past month. I realized that for me atleast, it isn't an all the time thing. Also after tinkering around with a few of the vast multitude of other substances out there, I realized how weed isn't at all my favorite thing...

 

From what I understood so far in my life, weed isn't for everyone. I mean sure you can get the high part and have fun but after you might get side effects. That's what happened to me, really paranoid, feeling down for no reason. When I say I felt ''down'' I don't only mean like sad, I felt like I couldn't do anything, I was physically and mentally tired. Weed isn't for me.

 

i like to smoke with my friends, with my "crew". Its always fun, its always the best time! But i had moments like, maybe everybody had moments like that.
