Why does cannabis cause social anxiety/shyness?

so My buddy brodie calls me in the morning almost every day to smoke some schwag, but when i smoke it, it's like it brings out the shy me and social anxiety part of me or somethin i get silent and feel awkward around people.
 
weed used to do that to me BAD but since i was put on effexor it doesnt happen. if i never got put on effexor i would have probaly commited suicide by now!! i know its a nasty drug that is extremly hard to come off ov put it has done wonders for my anxiety and depression!! ive even had benzos, pretty mmuch any one i wanted and they didnt do nearly as much for my anxiety as effexor did! when you first start taking it the effects dont start to work until the drug has built up in your system. it took like a nmonth before it actually really started to help me
 
Thats the reason I no longer smoke weed. I was a longtime habitual smoker, but haven't smoked more than maybe half a joint in over 5 months now. It always made me real quiet and kinda paranoid feeling. I really don't understand why I smoked all the time for so long, maybe just the addict in me. I've felt MUCH better ever since I quit. More clearheaded, my thought patterns are more normal, and I am much more social.

If I was to smoke again, it would definately be in a solitary situation. As is, maybe one night, if Im bored and sober, just light up a small joint/bowl and watch a movie. Weed has never been much of a "social" drug for me.
 
same, but everybody here seems to love bein social when high, espically on schwag and i dont understand it cuz schwag is fuckin nasty the high sucks, i feel like every1 is judging me badly, and just don't wanna be around anybody its weird shit when im klonopin though i luv to smoke weed and socialize. i ran out of those tho :P
 
^Well, I guess all we can suggest is stop smoking it?
Oh yeah, and don't ever start coke.

I don't care how serious you are, your response was inappropriate.

wow..... haha, thats an interesting theory, narutokun.

chances are, r4ldjkldlkjsdf, you just overdid the herb a bit and it brought out this latent anxiety. Could be you always had it, could be your subconsious is trying to tell you something, could be stress, could be lack of exercise or other health issues. Could be lots of things.

best bet, lay off the smoke for a while.
 
he only smokes weed, ain't homo, its just an reaction i get from schwag, when i smoke schwag i start geeking i guess and i just dont like the feeling,
 
Go through and edit out your retarded posts, okay?

They're offensive and disrespectful. IMHO, they probably say more about you than him.

^If you're not gay then nevermind my previous posts.
Don't call me a fag btw, that's offensive. I was never disrespectful to you in this thread in any way.

Yea you were. Saying shit like "maybe you just want to nail your smokin buddy" because weed makes him feel anxious,, what do you consider that? Sweet sugar pie advice? Your responses were totally un called for. They werent flames exactly, but Im sorry, you cant just say "NO SRSLY YO I WAS JUST ASKING" when you ask someone if the real reason they feel anxious when they smoke is if they are gay and want to butt fuck their friend. What gives you that idea? its totally fuckin random and pulled out of the blue. That is like someone who feels angry when they hang out around their mother when their mother is not in a good mood , and saying "R u sure u dont want 2 butt fuck ur mom? Or kill her? It could just be that, that u r actually a cereal killa , with incest tendencies, JUST ASKING K?"

Its a totally out of left field response that is obviously a dig at the person but youre just hidin it behind your "disclaimer" and then you act offended when someone takes offense to the shit you said. You should re think shit like this before you post it in the future. :)

Anyways, to the OP , a lot of people get a more paranoid un chill buzz from shwag. I can say that I definately get "weird" sometimes when I smoke the p town brown. And it aint no dust, believe dat. Sometimes weed in general can take away your "autopilot" in social situations, makin you over think things and not know where the right boundaries are, etc. I know sometimes i say shit that comes out soundin mad fucked up, but its just cuz I dont realize how its gettin percieved by ppl around me, or whatever. It kinda blurs your usual clear ways that you act, and makes you kinda have to "figure out" what to do sometimes when you get one of them paranoid not so relaxed highs. like you forget the normal ways to do things. The best analogy i can think of is workin the first day at a new job. You kinda know what to do, but youre hesitating, wanna do shit right, aint exactly sure about some things, a lil confused maybe, so you are kinda movin slow and just gettin the hang of it, with a few fuckups here n there. When you get that kind of high it aint as smooth as just doin what you do. You actually gotta THINK about what you do, and it can trip you out. Sometimes you just gotta chill but I can see how it can be hard to do that, so I would say try n smoke some better weed. I dont really know what to tell ya, this shit comes n goes, and it prolly wont be like that forever . All i can say is good luck.
 
Weed makes me think things through more and not be very sociable. Anxiety around other people, for me, comes from this because I start thinking what other people are thinking about me and how I look. I guess I get very self-conscious when I'm high on green.
 
How much more garbage must be posted by narutoken before it is agreed that he is, at best, a troll, and-at worst-fucking retarded. The op asked about paranoia associated with smoking weed-a common occurence among many people. Narutoken's response is that he wants to "butt fuck" his smoking partner? What the fuck?!?

I'm getting nowhere pointing out the obvious pattern in narutoken's posts but, for the record, it fucking annoys the fuck out of me.

Drunken etard, I will try my hardest. I admit, he/she is the first person over the Internet to actually get me angry (for reasons other than his misguided behavior). However, I will try and reign myself in. Shoot, it is the Internet, after all.

Take is chilly,
