    Okay I love smoking weed . absolutely love it . I've been reading these threads for years and finally made an account. I've only been smoking for 2 years. I only have 2 problems with it. One. When I get really high I sometimes concentrate on my heart rate and then I just think I'm having a heart attack. ( although usually I'll know its just an anxiety attack and I'll just forget about it ) but if I'm really high I'll trip out a little. Kind uncomfortable. Two. I don't really enjoy smoking at parties or with people in general. I normally smoke alone I just like to lose myself in my own head for a bit and just chill. If I'm high around a lot of people I just don't don't feel connected to anyone. I'll just start thinking why am I here . and I'll just get negative thoughts like everyone is judging me when in reality they probably aren't everyone is hella fuckdd up. One time I had a fat sesh aroundthe corner at a party and when I came back I felt sooo lost like idk anyone . how do I get In A convo with someone I hardly know. Just stuff like that. Thats why I really only like smoking with close friends but even then its a bit awkward. How can I get over this ? Thanks guys ( I was stoneeeed when I wrote this can't wait to read it sober haha cheers )
     
  2. Dude I got the same efin problems haha you probly suffer from anxiety try to smoke more strains thats help cure or just stop the anxiety they should just make you stoned af and dont care about anything, trippy weed high thc is always a bad idea I think but some ppl like it. Smoke with ppl you like usualy like only 1 or few personas but the best way is to smoke some heavy indica and just laugh watching TV or something
     
  3. Theres a problem you need to address within yourself because its doing yourself a huge disservice.
     
  4. I don't think it directly causes it, but It amplifies it.
     
    Like if you already have problems socially and weed will amplify the effects.
     
  5. If you're drinking at parties and not taking anything else, i wouldnt smoke weed with it if you're not used to it as it can leave you all dopey with your head spinning. I think weed can bring out the introverted side in me, im sure i aint the only one who smokes it for the spaced out chilled feeling you get from its effects, but where im quite chatty and abrupt anyway it kinda helps bring me down a bit. Sometimes if ive just done a fat bong hit thats blown my head off i probably wont speak much for the next twenty minutes -_-
     
  6. Extremely I don't like smoking with people AT ALL get tongue tied can't think around people and most of all I feel really awkward like I don't belong
     
  7.  
    That's funny. Last time I was at a party I was drinking all day. Threw up, then smoked some bud, and my stomach was totally fine after that. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
     
  8. Weed chills me out so I'm not socially awkward. Takes me mind off things that stress me out and lets me just exist around other people without me constantly examining myself.
     
  9. Smoking after throwing up or while hungover is a completely different story. However if you dont feel like spewing your guts up in the first place and can't handle your shit then i wouldnt recommend sparking up any big joints while stumbling around after your 20th beer & 10th double shot.

    It helps make me not socially awkward or anxious. 
     
  11. The THC makes you anxious/socially anxious. Anxious to me is when your inner voice becomes very loud and sorta becomes "dominant". I think it's something to do with serotonin but I'm no doctor.

    Try these two things:
    Option 1: try L-Tyrosine, it's an amino acid that can be bought at most nutrition stores.
    Option 2: if you have access, try smoking a CBD rich strain. It has calming effects while THC makes your mind anxious.

  12. Weed ALWAYS brings out my introvert self more, never once has it made me more social.

  13. I've always been a bit awkward around ppl I don't know. I'm introverted though and don't like showing my personality to everyone. Weed enhances this but I don't see it as a bad thing. 
     
    Don't freak out about the heart attack stuff OP. When I was young and dumb I went to the ER several times bc I thought I was dying or having  a heart attack. Turns out I was just really high xD 
     
  14. When am I not socially awkward
     
  15. I feel like it's a hit or miss. There's always a decent 60-70% chance that it will turn me inwards, even if not negatively. I become extremely introspective whenever I come down. That's almost a given. But when weed acts as a social lubricant for me man... beautiful things happen. Or at least through my red glassy eyes! 😁

  16. Depends on how much thc you had. Weed has different thc levels in different types of weed, try California gold, it's my favorite, you'll feel amazing

  17. This used to happen, and i changed my lifestyle completelely. I literally just dont give a fvck when i smoke. And dude, nobody cares anymore...you just gotta be you and chill, and focus on that and it helps.


    Just a fellow traveller...
     
  18. It doesn't make me socially awkward, actually it kinda makes me give less shits about what others think of me which allows me to be more open and outgoing. However, it does take away the filter in my brain which distinguishes between politically correct and incorrect things hahaha
     
  19. reality is some people cant smoke weed man.

    i happen to be one of those people. i hate myself for smoking it. if i go weeks without it im the most talktative, motivated, pussy slanging, bar hopping dude ever. soon as i have that first puff again, i feel my awareness sinks back into my mind, taking me away from my experience and more into my thoughts, where i begin to over analyze situations to the point where im too bitch to meet new people, talk to chicks, go to large social gatherings, or do anything that is a new unexperienced endeavour until i can hold off the weed for a while again.

    im currently on day 5 no weed. i wish i could just kick this stupid plant it does me nothing good except get me high temporarily. currently quitting to work the balls up to find a job
