Psychedelics changing your view of cannabis?

[~_Hiss_~]

This isn't quite on the topics you guys are turning the thread towards, but I know something has made weed more anxiogenic for me. I used to think it was psychedelics. I still think its possible, or maybe just wearing out my receptors from so much multi-daily toking for a while when in mid-teens.

i can take 1-2 hits and be plenty "high"... although the high isn't anything like I used to get (which was trippy and fun)

I do always like to have some handy for psychedelics though, because the synergy is quite good, although a little goes a long ways, and smoking too much for comfort is very possible.

Definitely agree with OP.

Weed slows me down, makes me feel anxious and abject, and after doing a fair bit of psychedelics, I just don't care for weed anymore. I'll only smoke it if its around with friends, and I never seek it out personally.

Weed makes my HPPD despair, and I mean CRY. Evil thoughts, one-in-a-million-chances-what-if-this-happened-to-me type thing, I can only focus on that which is bad about me. Which is the main reason I try to keep pot to a minimum.

All this is amplified obviously by my ego. Perhaps if I was another person I would enjoy weed more. It just doesn't calm me like it does others, and yes this new opinion seems to coincide with taking psychedelics, but how correlated they are is a mystery.

I agree. I used to be a habitual smoker for about 4 or 5 years. It got to a point where I began to notice some anxiety, especially in social situations. I found it hard to break the habit though as it had been such a big part of my life. I began using LSD around this time and after one trip I decided I wanted to stop smoking as I knew it would be best for my confidence.

Now I smoking very rarely, usually after a few drinks (I still notice a bit of anxiety though). But what's important to me is that I broke the habit, which I found noticably easier after a few acid experiences. And my views on weed as a whole are pretty much the opposite of what they were 6 months ago. It saddens me to see people spending all their time getting high and not being productive.

Then i figured out where my anxiety was comming from and tackled it head on and decided to give cannabis another try. My highs were overhwelming as usualy, but started smoking by my self to reduce the social anxiety.

I would love to find out where my weed-induced-anxiety came from and take it on myself. Any advice on doing this?
