I have smoked maybe 150 times and if I have more than 3 bong rips I am uncomfortable, paranoid, and feel way too high.

BUT
When I have tried lsd, mdma, mushrooms, dxm, I have done a combination of lsd + mdma, and even salvia! I have had an amazing, adventurous and overall great time. No paranoia, no stress. (well the salvia was pretty intense, but i still liked it)

why does weed do this to me?? can anyone relate? (i doubt it, everyone seems to LOVE weed but me...)
 
I can relate to the fullest. I used to love weed but now it's a paranoid anxiety ridden buzz. I start panicking and having weird thoughts about life and thinking everyone is looking at me weird. I think this all had to do with my past MDMA and meth abuse. If I take benzos I can comfortably smoke but other. Than that nope :(
 
I've lost the taste for cannabis, myself. I find it numbing. Whenever I smoke, it's like i can't feel my senses from the chest down... all those useful gut reactions. It's like my second brain down there goes dead, and it's this which causes anxiety for me. It's like I am being cut off from part of myself, and the only faculty I have left is really cerebral thought processes. This is the main reason why I don't smoke anymore. Maybe things will change down the road but for now, no way.

If pot makes you overly paranoid then maybe your system can't handle the amount you're taking, or it's just not the right time to be doing it. I've had times in my life where pot was incredibly useful for processing my inner world and being creative, but now it feels antithetical. Every medicine has its time and place.
 
Hey BHSH! I feel this way until I get a lot of thc in my system for a few days in a row, then I seem more able to handle the "come-up". After peaking, I absolutely love the effect of weed. So smoke more I say if that sounds like you (not at one time, just for a week smoke a little all day).
 
You need to smoke CBD dominant weed because if the ratio of THC to CBD is too high, then some sensitive users like yourself are more prone to anxiety since it's the CBD in cannabis that is heavily responsible for the very potent anxiolytic and anti-psychotic properties that balance out the stimulation of the THC.

Not all strains would make you paranoid, it's the stuff your smoking that's making you paranoid, find better quality bud.

Are you kidding me? Paranoia is one of the most commonly reported negative effects of marijuana, if not THE most commonly reported.

Yeah it's pretty common. Sometimes I would get paranoid when I was younger like a teenager and worried that my parents or other authority figures would be able to tell I was high, or that when I would smoke outdoors that a neighbor would find out and call the police, or that a cop that used to live near me would find out I was smoking and arrest me; but this never happened. Or once or twice in college when I smoked way too much before a small class and I'm pretty sure everyone even the professor knew my friend and I were really stoned. But then I'd just calm down, and relax. I remember being a young adult and smoking outside on a drizzly day thinking nobody would see me and some guy walking with an umbrella saw me and I didn't like that and just went into the back yard and blew the smoke where he couldn't see it. I would get paranoid from being too stoned when I would smoke too much and had no tolerance at all.

In college I smoked with my friend's housemate and some other people at a party and he got really paranoid from the strain trainwreck thinking that his neighbors would call the cops on us; but that didn't happen.

I know a woman who has taken all sort of drugs from opiates, coke/crack, meth, regular amphetamines, ketamine, PCP, mushrooms and LSD; but if she smokes herb she gets really paranoid and goes into panic attacks and thinks that the police are going to bust into her house or she'll be arrested and have her kids taken away from her and her husband.

sniffing peppercorns is supposed to abate weed paranoia.

lol don't do this. Terrible harm reduction. That is if anyone's dumb enough to believe it lmao.

Like a previous poster had stated, this has a lot to do with tolerance and cbd:thc ratio. I find when I stop smoking for over 3 days I get anxiety when I start smoking again. But when I smoke multiple times a day it's very enjoyable. It may take a few days to get used to but then you will miss the times you would get so intensly high. But then you stop again and anxiety comes back and you miss your tolerance :/ it's really a never ending loop lol
 
I sometimes get so anxious and paranoid from weed that I get socially handicaped. It tends to inhibit me in social settings. E.g. it becomes a real effort to order a pizza on the phone, or to go outside to buy something. Sometimes I even hear loved ones telling me something bad about me, like an insult or something, and I know they most probably didn't, but I want to ask them, just to be sure, but I don't because it's weird, then I obsess over it, etc. This is when I know I've smoked too much... I know some people that are much worse than me, and hear random strangers, or neighbours, talking about them, anywhere.

But it depends on the strain (THC:CBD ratio; sativa vs. indica), also if other substances are taken at the same time.

I could never do like some people and smoke weed all day or at work.
