    While not a novice toker myself, we all were at one point. I know that many people suffer from paranoia, and it can make highs very uncomfortable. I have a tip for those who like to try and master their self control.

    Paranoia is fear. Fear is an adrenaline rush. This is caused by the perception that there is harm to danger nearby. Keep in mind your brain is a big bioreactor of chemicals, and one of them it's dumping is adrenaline and pheromones, coupled with negative thoughts and feelings of danger. These negative thoughts are usually unfounded, unhelpful, and unwanted. I mean, how often are you REALLY in danger? Simply thinking rationally (am I really in danger, at all?) about why these fears are baseless has dispelled them for me, and I hope it helps for other logically minded introspectors out there :smoke:

    That being said, I'm an adrenaline junky:metal:, apparently some people find adrenaline uncomfortable.

    I get paranoid when I'm completely baked around my parents, and I have good reason. Being caught does equal danger because it results in death. I'm pretty sure my Dad would disown me haha

    I mean physical danger. Fear makes it hard to think, since it drains blood into the muscles and out of the brain, gearing for flight or fight. This is not helpful in a non physically dangerous situation; I'm sure you don't want to be in that paranoid panicky state if your dad does bust you, right?
