Not even enjoying it anymore?? Please help

Sounds like your problems stem from your inner insecurities.

Life is a risk, but that's its beauty. You can die while driving
your car but you can also die while drinking water.

Stop letting your mind talk to you about what ifs - and just act.

Your friend's lives look bleak and you end up connecting it back
to yourself. Why? Once you answer that question, you find the
solution.

 

Maybe when tokin' you just are deeper in thought, which can lead to questions on life in general. Try to concentrate more on what you can enjoy, like music, dancing, girls (sometimes being a lil' loose can free any inhibitions)

Tastes of great,and sometimes very odd foods

Beauty in nature, chillin' Blazed outdoors is a way of life for me. Helps ease chronic pain, and great for the soul

If you truly continue to feel that uncomfortable, and can't find the joy, you should quit. It's really not for everybody, nothing in this world is

Peace in whatever life brings you Brother Blade

 

Whether stoned or not it's easy to think about the dark side of life at times, under various stimuli. Sometimes when I'm watching stuff like South park, or Family Guy, and the Hundreds of other shows, movies and even songs that "cross the line" I wonder WTF i'm thinkin' and how sick this world can be. But we really have come to a time when shock value is really the only thing that sells. We seem to have become bored so easily it leads to sometimes outrageous thoughts and acts. Guess that's why I just like to find a cool outdoor place to Blaze and chill, enjoy life

Best wishes

 

theres a good and bad side to everything but you can only think about one of them at a time.

try to find the positive in everything, it is always there even if you have to search for it


over time you will just be doing this naturally and your life and highs will be alot better, the ganja is just amplifying your thoughts, try to amplify the good not bad.

 

i get you man, i took a break for like 5 months or so, i got pretty bad with my "crazy thoughts". weed can make you paranoid, its one of the side effects...pros and cons as somone said. paranoia can make you lose perspective on things, like taking things people say too serious, or make little things seem worse than they are, or just paralyze you.
i have a few things i just run by my head if things get bad or i get in stuck in that paralyzed, aggrovated, judgemental mood thing you're talking about. i just say stuff to myself in my head like: "Ignorance is bliss" "fuck em cuz im high" "walk like noones watching", etc. it kinda helps me get back in the zone when i get "knocked off balance". sometimes all it takes is just something to get you out of that bad zone.

But as some of the people above me said, little details, little things, that most people ignore on a day to day are some of the best....
A few of my favorites:
= the way the car seat feels on your back driving around
= sound effects in music
= warmth of the sun
= city lights
= music lyrics (stuff i can connect to or find meaning in really does me a good one)


in short find the little things you enjoy, and get lost in them. Like i love drumming, i blaze up, and go play my drums and get completely lost grooving and banging around my set.

or maybe try just once a week or something if you cant seem to find out whats bothering you, sounds to me like its something that effects you normally, but you notice it alot more because of the stimulation you get from weed.

i wish you peace bro

 

Honestly, I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but maybe you should try shrooms, maybe unlock your mind a bit so you can see why. But don't trip if you aren't psychologically ready.

 

What you're experiencing may not be all that bad. Everyone, at some point or another, questions their current situation. That is what makes us improve our circumstances.

 

ok seriously, don't try shrooms if u already get those feelings from weed cause it will fuck your day up.

You have to find a sort of comfortability when it comes to smoking, Only smoke when u know u have nothing else to do like schoolwork or job obligations etc. Its much more enjoyable when you set yourself in vacation mode. try not to let societies outlook on bud distort or corrupt your ability to enjoy yourself in whatever way you want.

happy tokin' brah.

 

If you don't enjoy it don't smoke

As for your feelings...just because someone smokes doesn't mean they are a loser. Hell I've grown and smoked for 30 years and I've had a very successful life.

Then there are guys like Thomas Jefferson (wrote about how to grow sinsemillia), Carl Sagan, etc.

Smoking the herb doens't make someone a loser. The choices they make determine that.

 

Haha, fo shizzle man, drumming while high is pure bliss. And to the OP, it's pretty much already been said, but your problem seems to be one of set and setting. You shouldn't blaze unless you're in a positive, peaceful mindset and a setting you feel very comfortable in. If you're not in a good frame of mind or a secure place, smoking is likely to make you feel paranoid and could make your thoughts race as you described. In the right setting, though, it can be one of the most relaxing and enjoyable experiences you'll ever have. Good luck and happy toking.

 

You are named after one of my favorite songs. I even went to Bangkok because of it...well and because of the hot Asian chicks and the good bud, back in the 80's.

Alex Lifeson is the reason I started playing guitar.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uwlQhMS9sE]YouTube - Rush A Passage to Bangkok[/ame]

 

Whoa, OSG, I never knew you were a guitarist or a Rush fan! I would give you rep for that, but I don't think it would do much good!

Yeah, Neil Peart is the reason I started playing drums, and Rush songs are still my favorites to play. As for my username, I tried several other ones when I was registering, but for some reason none of them were allowed...so I chose passage2bangkok as a subtle reference for whomever might pick up on it.

Are you going to see the guys on tour later this year?

 

Yes. I've seen them like ten times I think over the years. The only tours I've really missed was while I was in Asia and the Middle East smoking pot

I started playing guitar not long after I started smoking, been almost 30 years since I first plucked a string. Rush is also my favorite band.

But...let's stay on topic now. Like I said before, if the OP doesn't like the feelings he has when he smokes he just shouldn't smoke. It's not for everyone.

 

Ignore the posts saying it's a problem with you or with the weed. You lack tolerance. I had the exact same thing for the first month or two when I started smoking. If you don't smoke regularly, then smoke low quality weed, otherwise you will get too high, get paranoid, have negative thoughts, and possibly even have panic attacks or derealization. If you do smoke regularly, then make sure to keep smoking regularly enough that your tolerance builds up a little, but not too much, just enough so that your highs and comfortable and enjoyable, rather than filled with paranoia and bad thoughts.

Hope this helps. I was the same once, it passes with time

 

about a year ago that use 2 happen 2 me when i would blaze on and off
i started 2 hate everybody even all my family i would hyper analize things but eventully i bounced back 2 being myself

 

I second this, I used to feel "uptight" and such but I kinda grew out of it. The only thing that really changed was school started getting tougher and I had to do more work which then resulted in less smoking. So I'd say limit your usage or else, yes, you'll feel like a lame ass bum.

 

Great thread - as I'm sure someone here has already stated, you should try experiencing sensations and situations when you're high. Baths, massages, hiking, swimming these are all interesting to experience while stoned. Sex too is amazing if the setting is rite and the weed danky. Hell even masturbation can be a mind-blowing experience while really baked.

Don't just smoke, smoke and go do something! I promise you'll wanna do it again

Peace and love...
