If cannabis wasn't illegal, would it still make you paranoid?

  1. Is paranoia an actual physiological effect of cannabis consumption or is it just a fear of getting caught?

    I saw that on a weed meme not too long ago and got me thinking. Are there any findings that suggest it's an actual effect of usage?
     
  2. i always wondered about this too. perhaps a medical user can shed some light on this.
     
  3. That could play a role, but think about it. There's a lot more to be paranoid of than getting caught. "Marijuana can highten your senses and alter your perception"- taken from every ""educational mj exerpt iv ever read. To me it seems like whatevers on my mind, you could be paranoid that nobody is going to want to go to a dance with you, or that there is something wrong with your pizza pie toppings or something else weird. More of an anxiety. That's how I feel about it. Yes I get paranoid if I'm high at work, but I know its because I shouldn't be, not because I can be caught.

    i don't think so. U have no reason to panic or worry for getting caught. Maybe a little for accidently blurting something u were keeping a secret
     
  5. It makes you paranoid?


    I could give a fuck less if I get caught with weed... Its been decriminalized in NY.


    Officer: What are you doing?

    Me: Smoking some cannabis officer.

    Officer: Smoking what?

    Me: Weed.
     
  6. nah dude, one time me and this guy got super high and we were convinced there was a serial killer in the house
     
  7. Yes you would still get the paranoia, i'm not afraid about getting busted when I blaze, the law around here would get me a $90 ticket if the cop just doesn't toss it away and not write a ticket at all.

    I'm sure for some people they get worried about getting caught when they are high and getting anxiety. If you take that away they will find something else to get paranoid.anxiety about, I know I do.

    Bud gives a lot of people anxiety/paranoia, that's just how it goes.
     
  8. It would cut down on youngsters getting all freaked out and dumping their weed in the toilet because a cop just rolled by down the street.

    but there are grown responsible adults who get symptoms of a panic attack when smoking MJ. It has nothing to do with fear of getting caught. It's mostly the effects MJ has on the body and mind. Increased heart rate alone can make someone paranoid about their state of well being.
     


  9. I think this may be true, I only smoke on the weekends so i get BLAZED. When i drive home from my buddies house i always notice that my car is just slightly moving from side to side every once in a while, i think about this and think a cop may see me and say im swerving. Every car on the road becomes a cop lol
     
  10. That, my friend, is the million dollar question. But I never get paranoid unless I see some flashing lights, so in my case, no.
     
  11. having weed doesnt make me paranoid. riding with a pound of weed does.
     
  12. That makes you ... how should I say this ... not so smart?
     
  13. Yeah it would, in certain people. I live in the Netherlands, I can have up to 30 grams and 5 plants, and I still get paranoid from time to time. Some of my friends never get paranoid, so I think it has more to do with people's minds than outside circumstances.
     
  14. honestly it doesn't even really make me paranoid now
     

  15. just an example dude.
