Smoking Alone

I've been smoking pot for about 7 months or so now. I've been smoking very regularly for the past couple of months. I've always smoked with my girlfriend and sometimes other people. But my girlfriend is always there. Two nights ago, I smoked only half a joint by myself at home. It wasn't good. It made me panicky and afraid. I made myself go to bed because I was freaking out too much.

Is this normal when you first smoke alone? I do have an anxiety disorder but it's under control and I do not get anxious when smoking weed anymore. But I got way too anxious when I was alone. I felt like my mind wanted to jump out of my brain or something.

Anyone else have any experience with this?

 

It's because you're not used to it. I find the "paranoia" weed causes is simply when you smoke way more than you're used to. I don't really get paranoid when smoking anymore, except when there is real reason to.

He said it...you probably just smoke too much for that particular setting/session is all; paranoia is a pretty common side effect of weed after all so I don't think there is anything serious to be alarmed about. Just go slower next time and casually puff until you're content, and remember the possibility of the creeper effect =)

 

i smoke alone when i want to relax
usually what helps is having a bath/shower
your paranoia will be so much less, and you'd enjoy yourself much more

 

I have never gotten paranoid from weed. It is a typical "stoner" trait that I have never had. I may get paranoid while high, like if I see a cop or something I get a little uptight. But I do that even when I have nothing on me and I'm sober. Weed never directly causes my paranoia.

 

I used to get super paranoid when I was smoking, and one day I discovered that if I say to myself, "I don't care", the paranoia disappears, easy as pie. Kinda weird in it's simplicity. But it might work for others.

 

Thanks guys.

 

I used to get the paranoia thing with the smoke a few years ago.

Now everything is ok!

I smoke even more now too.

 

I would never drink alone or smoke alone.

 

I perfer to smoke by myself,I never get that way, dont smoke as much next time, your over doing it

 

i liked smoking alone a lot more than with other people.
at least alone, i would be alone. with others i'd feel like i had tuned out from the world.
but my history is a different one.. i had to stop smoking weed in general.

 

Sometimes i smoke alone and sometimes i don't.
I guess it just depends wheather someone is with me or not.

I've never gotten paranoid from smoking weed.
But i know people that do.

 

id rather smoke alone, or with one or two of my good friends then a group of people anyday. I enjoy it more when theres less people, and if any people, people who i actually like/want to be around.

 

i enjoy both smoking alone and with other people. really its hard to say which i like better because each are enjoyable to me in different times. i've never experienced paranoia with weed except around police, but then again, i got a monster tolerance
