My boyfriend is a full time smoker...him and his friends do it 24-7. i have really started to chill with them all the time now. when i smoke i just get all questionable, about how im a girl and its ok for the guys to smoke but not for me... they can really get into their things (video games) and sometimes they have big things goin on, but when i smoke i just get retarded, like i can barely get a sentance out without fucking up. i also just get self conscious and think about everything, and i mean everything, i do.does anyone have any tips on how to relax and stop being so self conscious while under the influence???

I do things i shouldn't have but i have more fun than anyone should be allowed to have~
 
i've been a couple few bowls a day girl for over a year. i've never had the problem you have, but i suggest smoking alone. once you're nice and toasty, write in a journal or something. once you see how coherent you can actually be, then maybe you'll be able to relax. or else find some girls to smoke with. maybe it's sitting around smoking with guys who all have their penises in common that makes you paranoid.
cheers.
 
my advice to you... just don't smoke.
sounds to me like you don't enjoy it.
if you don't enjoy it, then the only reason that you do it is to look cool in front of your boyfriend and his video game friends.
...well just do what you wanna do.
when i first quit smoking weed because i didn't enjoy it, all my friends couldn't believe it. some of them even treated me differently. it was stupid. so that's when i knew who was REALLY my friend, and who wasn't.
 
i too quite smoking (chronic) about a year ago, although i smoked once in the last year with mah grrlfreind, shes still a pot head, i hate it, and think theres much better stuff to me smoked.
synthetic all the way!

shiny-it sounds like you may be smoking too much. The boys probably have a higher tolerance than you. Smoke about half of what they smoke and see how that goes.
 
listen to phych0sis... if you dont like it dont do it, weed isnt for everyone believe it or not. but first try just takin a little bit. i found that if i take just a few hits of regs and chill for like 10 mins, it actually has a stimulating effect. or try better weed; whenever i smoke krippy, i obviously get incredibly high but the high is "clean", i dont feel as incompacitated (sp?). have fun
 
Actually, I'll agree with Cascadia on this one.
My current girlfriend didn't regularly smoke pot when I met her (she now smokes on a quasi-quasi regular basis described by Rollin' Star) and had the exact same problem you did. She'd get self-concious and worry about how goofy she was being. It took me a while before I realized I had been packing her bowls too big (I'm used to hanging with people with a better tolerance than she). We tried an experiment with just the two of us, starting small and working our way up slowly until we found her "happy place".
We also found that because of the time marijuana takes to fully take effect (you can feel the burst of it, but then some of the better marijuana I get creeps up on you), my girlfriend didn't recognize when she had hit her limit until we did about two or three of these experiments.
If that doesn't work, don't do that particular drug. As has been said before, not all drugs are for all people.

my answer to this is the same as someone else's: get really high on your own, over and over. once you get really fuckin stoned by yourself and realize that you can still be an intelligent and coherent person, it'll all be cool -- i'm a guy and i used to not smoke cause i'd worry about making an ass of myself whilst i was baked. NO MORE! i now enjoy making an ass of myself when i'm baked, cause it's funny. then again, if i wanna have an intelligent conversation while i'm high, i can do that, too, even if i say 'dood' and 'maaann' and 'like' alot. it'll all be okay. my girl started smoking after i started getting kind nuggets, cause schwag makes her sick to her stomach and it gives us both headaches... still trying to teach her to just get really stoned and not worry about a damned thing, and i'm getting there... mostly cause we get really high and i drag her out to get coffee or do something other than play video games and shit.

I know exactly what you mean, A_ShinyRollinStar, And i'm a guy

.. I get the exact same feelings as you described when I smoke, and therefor I have quit smoking.. After hundreds of joints without learning to just chill down, I finally understood that smoking just isnt for me. I love E, and don't know why the f*ck I was doing that weed-shit

I used to smoke A LOT, and the feelings you get do pass. I stopped for about 2-3 years, then recently had all those feelings come back again.
So I just stopped all together. Couldnt be assed smoking so much I didn't get so stoned and fucked up.
Whichever makes you feel better I guess.

I used to be a full time pot head and really enjoyed it, but then about a year ago I started getting the symptoms that you talked about Shiny, so I just gave up. IT's too expensive to be spending all that money to be feeling like that. I didn't always get those symptoms, but I got them enough to where I was like this is dumb, I'm done smoking. I'd been a pothead for like 8 years.
And yeah, I have some friends who are like, how can you not like to smoke. I guess I just grew out of it. They think I'm strange, but life isn't always a bud of marijuana.

In high school and even for a while afterwards, I used to smoke a good 3 or 4 times a week. And that was for a few years. I alsmost always enjoyed it. I remember getting paranoid at first and then later I could just laugh at it. Damn, at first, when I would smoke a bowl of cryp, I remember it being like a terrible trip.
After a while I got tired of smoking bud and just quit. I never hit that stuff again until about 6 months ago. It was like a 7 year break. (I certainly didn't quit anything else)
Anyway, I still haven't gotten back into the whole weed thing. I can have a good time sometimes, but for some reason, I never have all that 'old high school fun. A lot of the time now, I'm just edgy and weird. Soemtimes I pop a Xaxax or a Valium (or 5 since I think those pills are weak) I actually like to do about 80 mg of OC and smoke a bowl and THAT MY FRIENDS IS FUN.
Sorry if this is long, just empathizing with the girl who started this thread that I guess weed just isn't everyone's thing.
 
I also totally agree with weed not being for everyone ~ i def don't think it's for me. I felt all self-conscious, and over analyzed everything... granted maybe i didn't know my happy 'level/limit' either, but i think that there's a lot better stuff out there to be crazy on... heh....ritalin bein one of them perhaps...?

damn avatarolt that post about packing too hefty bowls with your girlfriend was the shit, i've been having the same problem lately and your suggestions are useful and insightful
 
yea i get that too, you try and say a simple sentence and it comes out sounding absolutly retarded. if u try and plan out what your exactly gunna say in your head before saying it, it'll never come out right.
i found if you don't think about whut your gunna say beforehand and just say it, u should be fine. oh yea, and try talking more at once, i know this sounds like it would add to your problem but giving a "speech" (and remember to get into it) high is much much easier then just trying to say a sentence. once you start getting really into the conversation or whutever is going on you'll forget about all that other stuff.

I am a male and know the feeling you are talking about. You become very quiet and you can't spit out what you really want to say.
Almost in a paranoid state. You just sit there daydreaming to yourself.
This doesn't happen all the time but usually happens when i haven't smoked for a couple of days (being an everyday smoker) and then having a smoke and getting really fucked up or when i smoke to much and get smashed.
My advice would be to smoke less. Don't get as stoned, have a bong and enjoy what that does to ya then have another one when you think you really want it.
Or smoke joints, they dont knock ya back as much if ya know hat i mean.
 
The first few times i got stoned i too got the same feelings. I really hardly ever smoke (once a week maybe) and after a little while it passed. My advise is if you get those feelings and you are new to weed they will probably go away in a little while. If they dont, or you dont have the desire to get to that point, then of course dont smoke weed. There are plenty of other fun drugs to do
