Paranoia auditory hallucinations when high? Should I quit?

    This will be long so I don't expect a lot of replies, but I'm pretty sketched out so I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this! Recently I believe I am experiencing some type of weed paranoia. I'm not sure why this is happening because I've been smoking for about 8 months. I'm not a heavy user though, usually only smoke 3-5 times a week. I don't smoke cigarettes or do any other drugs (my ecig is being worked on now but I usually smoke that throughout the day).

    Smoking used to be enjoyable for me but lately I get really paranoid, especially in situations with people I don't know. I can't describe it, but I overthink every single thing I do and say in social situations. I never act this way when I'm sober, I'm actually a very confident person and think I'm pretty chill to be around. I begin to think everyone is against me and I believe I am hearing people constantly say bad things about me under their breath, but this has to be in my imagination. I also get really sketched out in public, won't look people in the eye, and over-articulate everything I say or do.

    Tonight I hung out and smoked with my best friend and a few of her friends from school that I had never met before, and began to feel extremely uncomfortable shortly after getting there. I felt constantly pressured for no reason. Finally I had enough and made up an excuse to leave because I felt like I was going to break down. I began to think that they were plotting to kill us.

    This is a new thing for me and so far it only happens when I'm high, so I'm hoping I'm not mentally ill. I'm not sure if it's with certain strains I smoke or what, but it's not an enjoyable experience and I can't wait to be sober when I feel this way. I overthink every situation and how other people feel. When I try to explain my thoughts or feelings, it makes no sense to anyone except for me. I just feel like I have way too much built up negative energy or something when I'm high. Is there anything I can do besides quit smoking completely to stop this? Smoking has been causing a lot of problems with my parents so I was considering quitting soon anyway, I just want to get to the bottom of this. Should I talk to a psychiatrist or is this not anything to worry about?

    You could be smoking high the strains you should try smoking some high cod strains and see if that helps the paranoia

    You might have a slight case of schizophrenia my best friend has it, and the way you explained your problems sound exactly the same as he describes his.

    If you don't enjoy smoking weed, don't smoke it.

    I don't burning my hands on the stove, so I keep my hands off the stove.

    This has never happened to me though. I would never imagine having schizophrenia. I talked about it to some of my friends tonight who have been smoking for several years and they said it was normal when you first start. I just thought it was odd that it's just now happenening to me after several months of pretty regular use. I smoked again tonight and didn't feel as paranoid, but still overthought everything and was on edge. I'm thinking it's best for me just to quit because there's no explanation and I definitely don't want anything to get worse lol

    I could just be depressed? I don't think I've ever been depressed before and that might be why it isn't enjoyable for me anymore. I'm thinking I need to talk to someone but there's no way I can explain that to my parents

    Hey dude, this happens to me also. It's anxiety man, When I hangout with friends who I know well, I never get that. This doesn't bother me much, because when I am sober, I'm still nervous around people I don't know. The weed just amplifies whats already there... :) I get the EXACT same thing you are talking about, just push through it, you will eventually get used to it... I'm starting to get used to being high around people, that aren't high and that I don't want to know! Just push through it.

    Try a different strain.

    I get auditory hallucinations but I kinda like it. Like music playing in my head. It's like my own private radio station.

    In terms of anxiety, I got it once but that was because I mixed weed, caffeine and alcohol. Too much for me.

    8 months isn't a lot especially if you aren't a heavy user you can still experience those high anxious moments where you over think stuff into a panic feeling the reason this happens is because a thought in your head go in telling your brain that being high is not right wether it's for the timing or other moral reasons . if your comfortable being high this won't happen you have to analyze this problem and solve it so you won't get the feeling anymore . just think of it as a therapy session maybe that will change the aspect of the feeling if it happens again .
