I commented about this in a thread on weed paranoia a while ago, but I decided I'd do a full write-up to share.
I started using weed when I was about 15, and still use it today, 13 years later. For a while it was the good, classic experience. Weed made me silly, sleepy, hungry. The worst thing was that my social skills around people I didn't know well were impaired somewhat, but nothing huge. Around the time I turned 24 things started to shift; I would get paranoid, anxious and uncomfortable a lot of the time, especially if I used more than the tiniest amounts. It would often lead to me overanalyzing my life in a really negative, pessimistic way, and I'd feel overwhelmed and dysfunctional. Other people I know who get uncomfortable from weed describe similar experiences.
Weed had been something that I really enjoyed, and brought a lot of pleasure and fun into my life. It was sad to think that I couldn't reliably enjoy it anymore. When I found out there was a nutritional supplement for anxiety that also can be helpful for the paranoia from weed, I was pretty intrigued, though somewhat skeptical. But it's not that expensive and I get some mild anxiety when I'm sober too, so I decided to try it out. You take two pills a day, and the site says the benefits build over a week or so.
I started taking the supplement and then a few days later I smoked some weed. I start off with one small hit out of a glass pipe; cautiously since I was used to getting uncomfortably high pretty easily. I give it a few minutes, start feeling a little, but without the rising discomfort level I'm used to getting. Twenty minutes later I have another small hit. I'm a little higher, still feeling comfortable. I carry on like this for a couple hours, getting pretty stoned, and I never feel very paranoid. Pretty cool.
I keep taking the supplement, and the benefits continue. If I overdo it and get way too high, like with an extra potent brownie, then I can start feeling some paranoia, but overall it's pretty good. Definitely a big improvement from before. Now I enjoy weed a lot again, plus I feel better when I'm sober too. Less anxiety, and a little more focused.
I don't know if it works this well for everyone, but I wanted to share my experience since I know there are other people with the same problem. The supplement is called Green Calm. www.green-calm.com.
