Weed no longer being fun?

I'm sure I'm not the only person to have had a problem like this but it seems like this would be the place to ask for advice.

So anyways starting around 2 years ago I became a bit of a regular pot smoker, during the summer and my first year in residence. Most of my friends weren't very regular smokers so a handful of the time it was me smoking with one or two close friends or by myself, but either way nothing I had a problem with. When I was high I didn't mind being out in a public area and talking to people, going out, anything like that. Then almost over night whenever I started smoking I would just get super sketched out and became super afraid of anything public. The sketchiness I would get sounded kind of like what I have read about (some) meth users going through, nothing I was used to with pot. And this happened every single time I got high unless I was drunk before. So anyways after enough times of this happening and weed pretty much becoming not fun at all I stopped regular use, and figured maybe if I did it much more sparingly (like once every couple months) then I wouldn't have a problem with it. But every time I got high, regardless of the situation, I would go through the same thoughts of extreme anxiety, depression, paranoia, insomnia etc... So anyways what sort of things can I try and do to deal with this anxiety aside from stopping smoking completely?
 
I would suggest smoking small amounts. Get a glass bowl/spoon and take 1 or 2 hits and go about your business for a few minutes. If need be, take another couple of hits and repeat.

If it exists for you still, you'll quickly figure out what the comfortable amount of weed to smoke is for you.




Honestly, though, an extended break would probably be best before implementing this, but it can't hurt to try it without.
 
I stopped smoking pot and started smoking herbal blend 'Spice' ( JWH-018 ) instead. I actually like JWH more and it's a very similar, but different, high then weed is. Although completely subjective.
 
fuck that fake chemical shit.

What you need imo sir, is a nice kush. An all around feel good strain. They prescribe certain strains for anxiety, so I suggest finding something along those lines. Hell, go for a green card, there are doctors out there who will look for any bs problem you got just to get you your herb.
 
drinking a few beers or taking a couple shots while i smoke in social situations keeps me from becoming a quiet introvert. if im high around people im not familiar and comfortable with i get extremely bad anxiety and paranoia. i call it 'getting stuck in your head' because it becomes extremely difficult to express myself and communicate with people. for me i think alot of the anxiety comes from negative thoughts and a bad self image. i feel like alot of it has to do with confidence or lack of. a light buzz, or just enough alcohol to make me more talkative and confident keeps me from getting stuck in my head and all twisted up in anxiety and paranoia. of course taking more drugs for side effects caused by drugs probably isnt the best idea ever.

other than that smoking smaller amounts and with positive people that make you happy to be around, or smoking alone and do something mentally stimulating(playing music,drawing, etc), or anything that will help you focus on the moment rather than the future and past will help.
 
Really honestly dude, this is all about having control over your thoughts and mind, but if you find yourself unable to, and go through that every single time, then is it worth it?

Hash is much less anxiety inducing in general though (not bubble or any extract) if you can get your hands on it.
 
Although you said you don't want to be told this, try stopping for a while. You'll thank yourself if you can stay off smoking for two weeks and you'll be getting high like you used to the first few times again on a lot less, but I feel tolerance goes up a lot quicker than normal after a short tolerance break but this might just be me.
 
i used to smoke every day, then stopped once i started college. i still smoke occasionally now, but being high makes me SO unbelievably lazy. not to mention i seem to have absolutely no tolerance, so after a couple hits i'll be close to passing out. yeah, i could smoke sativa strains. but i dont smoke often enough where buying weed myself would make much sense, and sativa strains are rarely even around my area, no one seems to ever have it.
ah well, ive gotten over it, its at the point where if im with friends and we want to blaze and do anything but stay in whatever room or area we are in, i'll just pass up getting high cause i'd much rather be sober and be able to do what everyone else is doing than be high and not be able to do anything my friends want to do, unless they want to just chill wherever we are.
 
The first thing i would do is address the paranoia directly. Deal with the issues that keep popping up in your head and get comfortable and resolve them.

Next i would switch up strains. Even when cant get access to named bud, just asking around and trying every different type u can get ur hands on works well for me. Some buds will put me in the exact paranoid head-space EVERY single time. I can put the weed away and come back and smoke it in 4 months time, and my thoughts are transformed back to that bad head-space instantly! Its wierd...

Along with this, try and keep your mind occupied and minimise time where u are able to think about paranoid stuff with music, games, wilderness etc if u are smoking with friends and want to go out, go out first and then sneak off to the toilet and light up. Take a few puffs then go back and interact and see your comfort level. Carry a small stash and breath mints and top up throughout the night at your pleasure...

Lastly, if all that fails, try different methods of consumption. Eating, teas, vaping all that jazz.
 
yeah srsly man.
i hate to be a hater and i don't wanna be speakin stoner rhetoric but,
you gotta respect the herb!!

it's not all about getting fucked up.
take a hit or two in the morning and see how you feel.
I personally feel much more creative when i've just taken a rip or two than if i'm smoking to get completely zonged, ya know what i mean?
 
Try popping some pseudoephedrine an hour or two before you toke. If I'm buzzing on 120mgs, I can get quite a bit more stoned without all that annoying paranoia and anxiety.

Hey, since many CBDs often counteract the negative psychological effects of THC, I wonder how effective toking on some seeds or some crappy resin would work? Has anyone tried this to abort a bad high?
 
i know how you feel Rhodaris, i gave it up for years after getting anxious and feeling uncomfortable as fuck every time i smoked...started off fine... then gradually i ended up a skechy mess...if i smoke now i still get the same feelings, but not quite as bad. i would combine it with valium if i had decent access to valium. i combine it with alcohol but i still feel dodgy
 
some of the worst paranoia ive ever gotten from weed was from mids... i havent smoked mids since and ive had less paranoid highs.
from like 2 or 3 hits of mids too.... that was awful, i had a full on panic attack for no reason that lasted probably 30 minutes but it felt like hours, i think i finally calmed down enough to sit in my bed, i kept feeling like i was sinking into it which i guess distracted me from freaking out, and i eventually fell asleep.

i stopped smoking for a while after that, sold the rest of those mids i'd smoked, and now when i smoke its ALWAYS dank and ive never had a high that bad since.
 
Ya its a terrible catch 22 half the time too cause its like when your sober you wanna smoke and when your high you wanna be sober. I'll smoke if I'm just chillin with some friends but if I plan on going out and bein social I won't even take a hit.
 
thats how i am, and it really sucks cause all my friends that smoke weed do it as a social activity, like "we;re gonna smoke weed and then go to this, that, and the other thing" because they smoke weed all the time, so if theyre just hanging out at all, smoking weed is a given on top of whatever else they have planned.

so if i want to just smoke weed and chill, its impossible to do with my friends cause they always want to do other shit afterwards. so the majority of the time i dont smoke, and then my friends are all like "why arent you smoking?" and act like im insulting them or something by not smoking, which is just annoying.
 
Humm. This may not be the best advice if you have an addictive personality; but here goes ... try some JWH073 and when I say some I mean like 1-2 mg, get a mg scale. It is the least likely to give you the anxiety-feelings and the high is similar to weed. This is according to my own experience. Steer clear of the 018 for sure if you want to avoid a bad trip - very easy to over-do it on this one. Good luck. Oh and one more bonus, it doesn't show up on drug tests!=D
