Everytime I smoke weed I get a bad experience.

I start to feel very slow, if I lie down it feels like something is pushing my soul out of my body. I get paranoid as hell, almost to the state of panic. Everything feels horrible. This has happened every time I have smoked over the last 7 years. I can't seem to avoid it at all. No matter how much I try to get into the right frame of mind before I smoke, it always ends up going back to depressed thoughts. What's wrong with me? I have done almost nearly other drug and every one of them have made me feel tops on my first experience but with weed, it just bums me out to the point where I have to sleep it off because otherwise I can't talk, walk, or move around properly. I do have emotional problems but have stored that stuff into the back of my head, I'm guessing that's the reason why?
 
no you just get too high, and weed is not for you so stop smoking it.

but if you really wanna like it for some reason, lots of people get too high when their tolerance is low or at zero, so maybe if you smoked everyday for like a week you wouldnt get so high an could enjoy your self.
 
I second the idea of trying a vaporizer, I used to get stressed out on weed all the time. The effects from a vaporizer are more light on the body, no weighed down feelings, and for me this results in improved motor control, a clearer head and thus less paranoia. I always describe it as such: smoking gets you stoned, vaping gets you high. Obvious oversimplification but you will definitely understand what I mean if you try it. Just make sure you haven't already smoked before you vape or you won't notice the difference.

What really stopped the stress for me period was changing my lifestyle so that I was more comfortable with how I spent my time and with whom. Part of what used to stress me out was that I was unhappy with my life, and weed exacerbated that and made me focus in on everything I was unhappy with. I realized that I was feeling guilty every single time I smoked, regardless of the situation, because I still subconsciously considered it detrimental to my life, when in reality it was the life itself that was causing it.

The best advice I can give is to take some time for yourself, stop smoking for a while, and take a good hard look at your goals. Get to a point where you are happy with the path you're on, and then come back to weed. I think you'll find the paranoia goes away. Nowadays the same aspect of weed that used to make me depressed has become a useful tool for evaluating what I do and don't want in my life.

Hope this makes sense.
 
Not to be an ass . . .but if you don't have a neurosis that drives some sort of need for you to like weed, then don't smoke it.



I don't particularly enjoy the effects of alcohol. I don't drink it often. Problem solved.
 
A friend of mine in high school would freak out for days at a time after smoking a little bit of weed. Some people just aren't mean to smoke cannabis.
 
Welcome to the club! Weed was cool for a few years, but once the panic attacks started, it simply wasn't worth doing. You can take a xanax to keep the attack's at bay, but you shouldn't do this more than once or twice a year...just enough to experience the magic every now and again.
 
Sounds like you're smoking some good stuff, and those effects are normal if you have a really low tolerance. I would suggest to smoke less, Take ONE small hit and wait 10-15 minutes to see how you feel. Take one more if needed, etc. Marijuana is a very powerful drug, much more than what most people give it credit for.

Other than that, the only thing you can really do is keep smoking and you'll eventually develop a tolerance and be able to get a chill/enjoyable high.

Good luck, and don't give up on the herb.

It sounds to me like weed is not for you. It is not for everyone, you do not enjoy it; why subject yourself to it for 7 years? No wonder you have emotional problems you are abusing yourself with a drug you don't even enjoy. You should just concede you don't like it and stop smoking it. There are plenty of other drugs out there that you said work and are enjoyable for you, just use those instead.

Dude, this is terrible advice, he doesn't like or enjoy weed. Why should he stick with something that isn't enjoyable because YOU find it enjoyable? This is tantamount to telling a straight man to keep having gay sex because you will one possibly enjoy it. Why should a person endure misery for the off chance that one day eventually they may enjoy what they haven't enjoyed for 7years. It is obvious that weed is not for allupinyohair. They should just not do it.
 
Well, I'm just saying that he's probably smoking too much with a low tolerance and that he should just at least TRY taking one hit and see how he feels.
I know I had similar problems when I first started smoking and I sure as hell didn't "enjoy" it. It fucking sucked and I thought I was going to die. now I never have these problems anymore and I actually enjoy weed a lot now. I'm just trying to help him out.

OP how many times did you try doing it over seven years? And about how much did you smoke at those times?
 
The thing is by 7 years, I have only smoked probably 15 joints worth of dope over that seven year time period while dabbling in everything from mdma to speed to meth. That is not much at all, imo. My last time was a few days ago where I mixed probably a size about as my big as pinkie tip with some tobacco and packed it into a cigarette. It completely messed me up and I felt so morbid and horrible. I'm thinking I just cannot smoke weed for whatever reason which is a bummer since I'm looking for alternatives for my pain relief (right now I'm on oxycontin). Whenever I light up, it seems like pain becomes concentrated on those areas where I have pain and makes it sharp as hell. I guess some people are just built for weed and some aren't, I fall into the latter. :(
 
OP, not everyone is wired for ganja consumption.
its not your fault, its just your biology & genetic build.

dont go blaming parents either, thats not what i meant.


some people are just simply not wired for cannabis.


simplest solution to this problem is -
dont smoke it. there. problem solved.



(but try smoking a bit of bud in a pipe or bong, WITHOUT tobacco. you might find that its the tobacco thats making you feel horrible.)
^thats why i dont smoke tobacco. keep in mind i said might
 
The obvious answer is don't smoke it, but if you find your self compelled to do so, try just taking 1 hit. One single hit, then check back in 10 minutes and see how you feel. I bet that one hit will get you feeling high and alright.

My girl used to be like that, she hated weed didnt like how it felt, then she realized if she took 1 or 2 hits she loved it.
 
No dude hahah you are very very lucky imo. if you look up on google or something "astral travel" you can learn more about what im about to tell you but ill give you a basis of it.

you say it feels like your sole is being "pushed" out of your body. is it like a shaky feeling? if so than it really is your soul or "astral body" as it is referred to, coming out of your body. It's almost like an OBE (Out of Body Experience) but there is a difference. when you grasp this amazing technique and get comfortable with it, your sent to a whole new plane. theres a decent amount of information on it if you know where to look. look it up just for fun to see what im talking about because it could help with your weed experiences. you could learn that its something amazing that you should love to feel rather than feel paranoid and frightened by it.

I've tried to astral travel before and ive experienced those same pushing feelings as well as that paranoid feeling. I get it through meditation though, if I could get that feeling when im smokin weed i wouldnt get those feelings at all. Shit I would never want to be in my body again if that were the case. its such a rush when you finally break free.
 
Yea take a xanax with it youll probably feel like you want to jump out of your body less
 
I can second the vape idea, it's a bit different of a high since you mostly vaporize the THC and some of the CBD. Plus, try smoking just one hit, then wait at least 15 minutes and see where you are. Until I smoked A LOT, like, for a long period of time, there would always be that point where I know, "Crap, I smoked waaay too much."

If you really want to like weed, you need to take it slow, be in the right mindset, and only smoke with people you're VERY comfortable with, like, you know they'd understand if you freaked out and would help you.

If none of this works, it's possible that you just can't smoke weed. I have a friend that just can't take it.

P.S. I also forgot, try different strains, both sativa and indica dominant, another buddy of mine looooves indicas (body high, stoned feeling) but freaks out on sativas (head high, mind racing).
 
allupin, don't feel bad it sounds like herb isn't for you. Just tell people how you don't smoke if they offer it to you or don't buy any and smoke it.

I have a friend that smoked herb when he was younger in the 60s and 70s and it wasn't as strong and now he hasn't smoked in about a decade since everytime he'd smoke his chest would hurt. He only gets like this from herb as he smokes a low/moderate number of cigs and cigars.

Another friend of mine gets horrible anxiety from herb that makes him think that he's dying or going to have a heart attack so he does not smoke.

I used to hate smoking chro, i started when i was like 14 and hated it everytime, till i was about 17, i turned 18 a few months ago after been a pothead for around a year...

I used to get severe paranoia attacks but i started some pharms (fluxotiene), which took the anxiety off smoking, then when i dropped them, I was just cool with Mary... weird!
