when you smoke weed, you over analyze everything, and when you think about your relationship with everyone, and you realize the problems in it. that makes you freak out about everything. Does anybody else experience this when high?
That's me to a "T". I quit smoking years ago mostly because of this. I tried it again a bit over a year ago, and tend to have better control over this paranoid thinking process now that I'm fucking old. It's more enjoyable now.
Or brings up nice memories which you cherish... and then realize that they are just past memories that won't happen again... and it ruins your high. You're fucked either way.
LOL, not sure what to do. For me, a few decades of not smoking did the trick. But there has to be a better way. I used to smoke alone a lot, and this was a big part of the problem. Your mind just sits there and churns away, thinking stupid shit. Smoking with other people distracts your mind somewhat, so that's one thing that can help. Back then my parents were both alive (although I had my own house) and I was paranoid of getting caught by them. They would have been very disappointed in me. They are both long gone now, so that's one thing that my mind doesn't fester over anymore. I play guitar a lot, and doing that while high distracts my mind from wandering. Instead of just staring at the wall, (lol, which can be fun) some kind of mental concentration on something else would work I suppose. That's all I got.
I have been smoking weed just once a month for a few months now. The trick is to not use it in excess and everything goes smooth.
Once a month? That sounds redonkulous. I smoke an eigther a day probably on average..jeese edit: I over analyze things when I do not eat enough food/hydrate my body enough.
I think there's a lot of truth to that. Plus, people who are born worry-warts, like me, are probably more susceptible to being paranoid while high.
To be honest this doesn't happen to me much. Whenever it happens it doesn't usually get me down, sure there are bad things in every relationship, what about the good? Why not think of that when you're high. Most times the good always outweighs the bad
"Marijuana reveals you to yourself." The psychoactive effects include a heavy self-inspection. There was a period in time where every time I smoked with my friends I just saw them as little monkey animals sitting there with the glass tube. And then I would think about how easily a life can be snuffed out and horrible shit like that. Twisted metal car accidents, shootings, etc. Sometimes being high will reveal my deep fears to me such as death, infinity, and social issues. A lot of the time when I blaze, I feel bad about myself because I am a shut-in who adores videogames and drum and bass and I cannot find ANYONE to relate to on those levels. Makes me feel sub-par socially, but then I work it out in my head and find peace with myself and I am soaring high again It is all about finding peace with things.
