You don't "get it?"
Maybe because you use benzo's to negate a natural aspect of a marijuana high, whereas we seem to like benzo's for what they are and happen to think they synergize with tree wonderfully? That could be why you just don't "get it."
You cause yourself anxiety with one drug and then get confused when you take another drug and the anxiety persists, eh? I feel like you're doing it wrong. Not sure what exactly, but something.
Don't take it critically man, it's great that the synergy works for you.
I like benzos for what they are also because they helped me deal with anxiety for 11 years and changed my life.
I'd say I used them to a much greater positive end than most people who use them, never recreationally (not that there's anything at all wrong with that) only therapeutically.
What I don't "get" is how they syngergize with weed so well for other people while they never did for me.
They worked SO well for any other kind of anxiety EXCEPT for that caused by weed and THAT is what I don't get.
So yes, it confused me that it didn't work for the anxiety caused by weed when it worked so well for all my other anxiety and it confuses me that the synergy works so well for other and not for me and I think it makes sense that that should be confusing.
And yes I find it odd because there other drugs that can cause anxiety where I found Klonopin got rid of it, for example, caffeine.
If I ever started to get anxious from drinking too much coffee some extra Klonopin always got rid of it, but not with weed, so I found that odd.
I see the point you are trying to make though, that you didn't take the benzo to get rid of the anxiety but just to enjoy the benzo, but I guess I don't "get" that either because in 11 years of taking Klonopin I never ONCE got any kind of high from it, so the only way for it to synergize with the weed would be to rid me of the anxiety it caused, which it didn't do.
However, you have mentioned liking Xanax and I've heard that is more euphoric than Klonopin but I've never taken Xanax so I don't know.
It kind of seems like you are "talking down to me a bit" though lol, which isn't necessary.
I'm sure you know plenty about this subject but so do I, having been on Klonopin for 11 years and smoked plenty of weed in my life.
The point I was making is that the OP IS talking about doing what you don't do and what I tried to do with the exact same 2 drugs (Klonopin and Weed)...Which IS to combat the anxiety caused by weed with benzos...NOT simply to enjoy the combo cause he likes both drugs...and my point was I never "got" how that worked for others, cause it never worked for me.
It's also not THAT odd to try to combat a negative side effect of one drug with another....which is EXACTLY why the weed and alcohol combo is my favorite:
When I drink and smoke weed I am able to experience ALL the good effects of the weed and NONE of the bad effects which is what is so great.
I still get all the euphoria from the weed and all the changes in thought patterns and the stony feeling but NONE of the anxiety AND I get to enjoy being drunk also.
And no matter what anyone says I disagree that drinking to combat the weed anxiety and further enjoy my weed high is "doing it wrong"...cause I think it's doing it right and it works for me.
I just never understood why Klonopin didn't do the same thing when prescribed for anxiety.
People talk about taking benzos to combat anxiety from tripping on harder psychs, so I don't get why that is "doing it wrong".
Combing 2 drugs for any reason still must mean that something wasn't "good enough" for you on its own, so even if the logic behind your taking 2 drugs instead of one is different you are still playing games with substances in order to achieve a certain effect you find more desirable.
In the end, it's still not THAT different really.
You are making one good thing into an even better thing, I'm trying to make a good thing that has negative aspects into a better thing without negative aspects...which works when I combine weed and Booze and doesn't when I combine weed and Klonopin.
However, people react differently to different drugs...which is the answer in the end (sorry for writing a book, I drank too much coffee lol).
