Cospiracies and Paranoia When I smoke...

Everyday I try to do things positive and think positive, and usually this is perfect for my day. But when I smoke pot, every now and then my mood and "Positive thinking" changes. It confuses me and almost makes me want to quit, but I dont want to for other advantages. this is how it happens, I'll smoke up and all of a sudden (Uncontrollably) I start to make conspiracies about everything happening around me. I look back at moments in the past and all of a sudden have a different negative way of looking at it. and it seems like my veiw of myself gets negative and I make conspiracies that people are talking about me and watching me. I usually dont care what people think of me so this is a wierd and very terrible experience for me. Its almost like a bad trip but on weed.

Other times when I smoke I feel great! and I couldnt have a care in the world, so I'm wondering does anybody else have this happen to you? and how might I go about fixing this problem? I dont want to quit so thats not an option. thanks for the help!

 

Smoke less and work your way back up.

It IS a bad trip, weed's a powerful psychedelic.

 

I smoked heavily for four years and had to quit for a year. My paranoia while smoking was so intense I couldn't do it anymore. Slow down and take a few breaks and see how it goes.

 

That happens to me once in a while when im waaaaaaaay baked up, but I usually realize and then remember how much weed I smoked...lol

 

Ima escape artist..

 

I quit smoking some time ago, but this paranoia thing often happened, only maybe not as hardcore as what u're talking about. So yea, imo its just a normal side effect to smoking pot/weed. I found that smoking with other pple around me was way better and funnier, and made me feel safer too. My friends and i would make fun of the paranoid scenarios we'd have in our minds, and those were mostly about everyone else (in the street, a bar...) knowing that we were high and spying on us. All in all it was a good laugh yea.

 

You might want to reanalyze the situations in which your smoking. Bad vibes can be catastrophic when your stoned. If you start getting paranoid laugh it off, listen to some chill tunes, and go for a nice stroll!

 

Thats a good idea, thanks:2thumbsup:

 

lol weed paranoia sucks but is funny...

I've though okay I'm high again but in my real life I am pretty dumb so the weed is stimulating my mind to normalcy so all this paranoid stuff I'm realizing about myself is true and other people already know cept I have to be high to be smart enough to realize it. hahahaha.

Or I always feel at each new stone. "OHHH YEAHH" this is the true reality and all stoned thoughts that follow are weed showing me the true reality.

 

I smoked once and started thinking what if the earth lost its fucking gravity or whatever and started plummetting down to the bottom of space. oh the feeling in my stomach.

 

Try a different strain of weed, I have one batch that I will not to smoke when I'm alone, makes me feel like there spirits all around me.

 

spirits what do you mean?

 

unlike depression, paranoia can be fought with rational thinking. I quit for ten years because of it, but I now know how to conquer paranoia and weed is now lots of fun for me.
First, you must understand something-- paranoia begins with a single paranoid thought, and grows from it, rather uncontrollably.
Best step is to identify the first paranoid thought you have and shut it down.
Here's how it works for me:
first uncomnfortable feeling/paranoid thought: "people will know I'm stoned!"
how I beat it:
I think, using as much visualization as possible:
"Look at yourself; people think you're stoned all the time anyway! And guess what? Nobody gives a shit! Not even cops!"
I have not had problems with paranoia ever since doing this. Try it. It works!

 

I'd smoke it alone. Spirits are not one tenth as scary as people are. You may even learn a thing or two from them!:devil:

 

One of my friends is a heavy smoker and listens to Alex Jones and other similar conspiracy theory programs on short wave radio (he doesn't have internet). He's never heard a conspiracy theory that he didn't immediately take as truth, whenever I go and visit, he tells some wild stories that he's heard.

I get enough anxiety and paranoia from smoking as it is, I don't need to hear other people's conspiracy theories and doom and gloom scenarios.

 

Haha, this thread is great. Yeah, that just happens every once in awhile when you smoke. Shit, I just had a little one not 10 minutes ago. Its all good bra!

 

Just thought I would thank all of you for the help, this was a while ago. My problem is much better now thanks to you guys. My situation was funny, Im a guy with long hair, who wears tie-dyes and listens to strange music, and for some reason I wondered why people payed so much attention to me, haha. all is good now, I still smoke that odd strain of dope that causes minor effects simular to before but I can handle it alot better now.:2thumbsup:
