Just a random observation on the effects of weed, specificaly paranoia and anxiety that occurs in some people when they smoke it. Weed to me is a great drug for calming the nerves, and relieving external stress. When I say external stress I mean like if u got in a argument with someone, experienced a break up, had a rough day at work ext. Smoke some weed and the pain and stress associated with those problems will disipate and if u still choose to think about them you can do so much more calmly and openminded. These are all external stressers things that occur ouside of ourselves. When it comes to internal stress such as social anxiety, insecurity, and paranoia I feel weed can potentially magnify these problems instead of relieving them in some people. I feel a large part of what weed does besides enhance the senses, is it brings u closer to urself and in the process it causes u to potentially experience the feelings and thoughts associated with these internal struggles much more deeply then you would in sober living. So what is my theory on how to handle this? Simple in a sense that I believe in order for one who is having trouble enjoying weed to the fullest it would be to get right internally. One must come to terms with what causes their anxiety,social anxiety , paranoia, and stress and find a solution that will fix those problems. Once he/she is completly comfortable and confident in them selves and who they are then and only then will they get to fully and truely enjoy weed. Just a random observation based on experiences I have had with weed good and bad that I thought would intrest some of u. But can you dig what Im saying?

And now onto the question I had. I used to smoke good high quality bud a long time ago but Ive ben smoking low grade mids now for a minute cause money is tight.Im looking to pick up some strains soon, but Ive forgot what the high is like with high quality bud like sour diesel and kush, so can someone refresh my memory? Is comparing it to mids like comparing apples to oranges or is it just a more intense version. The mids high is somewhat relaxing, but very bland at the same time and Im looking for something more, Something that has great body high and is somewhat psychedelic but not overwelming any advice?
 
yes that's true; same goes for tripping, if you are having internal emotional issues then you're not going to trip near as well as someone who doesn't, though external stress plays a role too.

kush feels like there's a lot more fucking thc than shit weed has, that's the only difference i notice, and it makes me anxious and i don't like it really. I'll just keep smoking shitty weed as there is a better CBD:THC ratio most of the time. Too much thc and it's no good for me. Somewhat psychedelic? well try any high THC strain, there are too many to list.
 
As Bob Marley once said "Weed reveals you to yourself" or some shit like that. I have to directly disagree with robotripping unfortunately. I find that shitty weed has more thc:cbd ratio and therefore causes anxiety quite easily, whereas quality high grade buds offer more cbd:thc ratio and are therefore much more sedating and calming/stoning. High grade bud is stronger in a better way, usually including stronger anxiolytic effects in my experience and I have smoke pounds upon pounds of mids and Kush alike. My smoking friends feel the same way. Better bud = better high in every way and less side effects.

I agree about better bud equalling better high but i do not agree that shitty bud has more thc hahah there is absolutely no way that is true. I think people are more likely to consume alot more mids at a time then dank money wise at least, leading to bad trips in certain people. I smoke small cones of dank all day out of my bong but i would prefer not to face a blunt of mid.
1. Cuz my lungs would hate me.
2. If it were decent mids it would fuck me up, being multiple times more weed at equal prices.
i only smoke dank. Fuck mid now. I smoked mid for 3 years.dank barely gets me where i wanna be, mids wouldnt even be worth buyin... i would not want to smoke the amount i would have to smoke to get to my level cuz my lungs would be that muchmore messed up unnecessarily ..

Compacted brick weed is usually always a high ratio sativa Mexico/border grown - thats why you anxiety ridden smokers have problems w/ it (and if it's compacted it usually tastes like shit)...
 
I fully agree that weed brings you to yourself. Ignorant anti-marijuana advocates say weed makes you dumb and unable to think, however for me when i smoke certain weed i am actually more creative. It causes you to go into your own head. I fully agree with what you said about being in control in your head. I think that applies to anything in life. If you are in a good place mentally, you will be able to enjoy the relaxing times.
I meditate every single day so I am very comfortable with myself and with my own mind. My mind and myself are one. This is why I am able to enjoy weed every day and still function. although i do need to slow down..lol.

As far as highs go, if you compare a mid high to california medical grade (what i smoke) trees, it is comparing apples to oranges. It is almost a different drug because of how differently the highs can vary. My personal favorite buds are indica buds, but a nice OG bud generally gives a potent, but mellow body high and very relaxing.

I find I get less anxiety with higher quality weed, and a more pleasant high. Just have to smoke a bit less. Shit weed can make me feel a bit shit and then that can cause some anxiety.
