i don't usually get paranoid when i'm high as long as i'm around friends that i trust but if i'm around someone that hasn't yet gained my trust then i get paranoid. i don't just get paranoid right away, usually it's because i pick something up out of the persons body language or something that they say. the paranoi makes me think that the people around me are using me for something (like to get weed) and they aren't really my friends. i get really sketched out. does anyone else get this feeling? i'm not sure if i'm just paranoid because i'm high and i'm percieving the whole situation wrong or if my feelings are real another thing, it happens all the time. everytime i smoke with someone new the paranoia sets in, but it's always for a reason. i always go into the session feeling fine and then when i'm high i'll be fine for a while untill something happens to make me sketch out
It happens all the time to me. Then I notice I am high and it goes away, your just way to aware of shit around you.
That actually reminds me of a story. About a year ago, I was smoking with someone who I knew through a mutual friend. We were smoking my shit, and he was acting like I wasn't even there. I got the feeling he was just using me for a free high, which really pissed me off. So politely I said I was going home. As I was walking out his garage there was a fridge, I looked inside, and there was a bunch of beer and shit, so I decided to take a case of beer and a bottle of tequila, more so to get back at him, than for me to drink. The next week he called me and said he just got some shit, and wanted to know if I could come smoke with him. I guess theres a moral to all that.
well, i hope you're right. the only thing is i still have the feeling when i'm sober thinking back on the situation. i try to tell myself that i'm just high and i still get paranoid but i just try to ignore it
I tend to get a bit of paranoia, but most of the time I can reason my way out of it, and if not I'm usually fairly comfortable to just sit in silence and take it all in. I think paranoia can tend to feed off itself, and if one person gets paranoid, another will pick up on it, etc, and so it becomes a vicious circle. It's important to remember that the person you're smoking with is still the same person they were before.
you have to fight it, being paranoid is like tripping, if u cant fight paranoia you cant be doin anything harder. no lies.
Why would you be paranoid about someone you're smokin with trying to get chronic? There's always going to be randoms who are just there to get smoked up, but that shouldn't make ya paranoid.
