What the hell is this?

I'd recommend watching the documentary, from what I read on that site (which was only a few paragraphs) it focused solely on the bad parts. I've seen it 2 or 3 times and it wasn't nearly as bad as it seems from that review. It was pretty entertaining too.

Also, the worst part was when she was injected with isolated cannabinoids. Marijuana is extremely complex so when used in its natural form, the effects are much more balanced.

 

Lol she just feaked out, it happens to some. No big deal

 

She should have been eased into it, i mean most people who now smoke daily started out on a less intense smoke schedule. After a 20 year gap she wants to suddenly start smoking dank daily and expect her internal self to suddenly adapt to that type of thing.

It doesn't sound like she even wanted to smoke, so that would definitely increase the paranoia.

I've had a couple occasions back in my earliest days of smoking where i would think my friends were talking bad about me if i went out the room or something. Overtime You learn that its just the weed and you deal with it so that it no longer happens or you can easily brush away such negative thoughts.

She needed to adjust her mind before bingeing. I can see how people who might already have a problem would just aggravate it if they act so recklessly.

On the other hand maybe people who are known to be predisposed, might they not learn how to control their thoughts and their mind by having some positive encounters with cannabis? Would be interesting to find out/experiment.

 

I was paranoid as fuck the first time i smoked, thinking it wasnt a good idea and shit, forced that shit out of my head though. Also for the first time smoking alone i was already jumpy because i was in my house and if i got caught i was FUCKED and heard sirens... but after they went away i was fine. never been paranoid since

 

Pot has a really good way of showing you the side of things you don't easily see when sober. In my teens when I started smoking I dropped a lot of my friends because I saw how they were just imitating behavior they saw as successful. Stolen jokes, acting hood to put on the facade of "tough", talking to girls, their insecurities as well as my own, etc were put out in the open all the sudden all at once. It's really hard as a teen realizing that you aren't "yourself" you're just a combination of experiences and that combo="your" personality. This led me to read Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and other idealists as a teen and coming to terms with myself. Pot makes you act in an uncontrolled way, usually humans can control their behavior to not seem weak or goofy etc, but tons of people get quiet and over analyze their behavior and attempt to cover up their insecurities when high. The mistake is when people are sober again they go right back to living a hidden life. Instead of attacking their insecurities and making themselves better, they go back to being complacent and insecure.

Anyway I'm high so I'm ranting. This lady was insecure in her mortality, and her social status before she smoked weed. It doesn't cause psychosis, it causes a human who isn't intelligent to look at EVERYTHING in a new perspective. Rather than analyzing and articulating all these new things they now see, they get scared because finding an explanation for these things is too difficult with the amount of false information out there.

If you're adjusting your shirt when you're high because you're fat, DO something about it. The weed is making you conscious of your insecurity so lose the weight and drop the ego that tells you "I'm fat and happy and can't show any weakness." If your friends are ignoring you when you're high and you get anxious do something about it realize they aren't your friends. If you're looking at your room in your moms basement getting sad then do something about it, weed is great at showing you whats wrong with yourself. The problem is weed also contributes to complacency, stoners usually see the problem, but rarely act upon it.




Also notice how cannabis is blamed, never herself. This just shows how lazy people are.

 

I've too watched this documentary. It's on YouTube. This is just another fiction article going against weed. She actually only had TWO panic attacks throughout the whole documentary. The first one was when she had 23 tokes off of a joint for her FIRST time getting in Amsterdam and simply got wayyyy to high. The 2nd one was when she was injected with PURE THC. No, not the natural make up of the plant the we get when we actually smoke it with the CBD in it as well, but JUST THC. This article is stupid as hell ahhaha. I'm super stoned and I read it and it make me laugh. Stupid people.

 

I agree man. Weed breaks down your walls and defenses so fast and forces you to face yourself in such a cold objective manner that it can get distressing. If you were living your life with your insecurities not resolved but buried deep inside, it can be quite an experience to have everything come up and hit you hard. Then you can choose your next step, either carry it over to when you are sober, start reflecting and trying to work on your issues and eventually improve your life... or you can choose to ignore and make excuses, refusing to realize the source of the panic attack.

However, sometimes panic attacks are just panic attacks. And some people's brain is wired in a way that they respond badly to THC, no matter if they have issues or not.

 

same thing with alcohol, a good steak, a tasty bowl of ice-cream...anything can tip/trigger a predisposed persons mental imbalance...
