So, today, after weeks of anticipation, I got high with a friend and his stepdad, which was fun because we talked, joked around, and it was just a friendly environment. Anyway, I wanted to kill my high to an extent so I told my friend we should walk to the store, so I could get some food, and fresh air. Anyway, we're walking, and these guys are talking shit, and I'm a little paranoid when high, and I don't really feel like fighting because I get tired, but it's funny now that I look at it because I was nervous to fight, whereas if I wasn't high I know I wouldn't have been nervous or anything. Is there any way I can avoid being so paranoid/nervous next time? I wouldn't want to have to fight and not be there to help my friend, 'cause then I'd feel like a major dick later on.
smoke a less amount next time. you'll eventually learn there's no reason to be paranoid. It affects people in different ways. Some people paranoi when alone, others paranoi when in company.
