Lately I have been noticing that when I smoke weed takes me to a place that I don't enjoy anymore. In the beginning it was all fun and giggles, but now it seems like my mind focuses on all the negatives about me and my mind keeps running in an endless loop of thoughts. I seem to talk to myself heaps.

I smoke probably 1-2 times a week, large amount each time. Is this the result of weed abuse? Am i going crazy? Reason why i ask if im going crazy is because it seems to take a few days to get out of this headspace and feel normal again.
 
Yeah man. Weed isn't all giggles and laughter sometimes.

I just came off a 4 day non stop smoking session and I feel retarded haha. Sometimes it can make you evaluate yourself in a very negative light, especially if you are already feeling down in general.

I find it quite unpredictable. Sometimes I will evaluate myself with accuracy (even if its a little bit negative), and marijuana actually helps me awaken to this and accept whatever it is, but other times it is just completley irrational and paranoid.

Just the unpredictable nature of cannabis my friend.
 
once or twice a week doesn't really seem like heavy use to me...

Just chill dude.
 
the cannabis is trying to tell you something, perhaps you should listen instead of trying to block it out
 
i had/have the same feelings when i blaze. i smoked all day everyday for about 4 years but i cut back to a few times a week back in march it helped alot
 
Just like heavy psychedelics set&setting is important, where your smoking it, who your with, what you want from smoking it, and state of mind. Those are all important factors. When I'm alone in my room and smoke weed to cure boredom I tend to get a bad high, paranoid, negative thoughts about myself, talking to myself and defending myself to myself, that has happened to me a few times and realized I needed to take weed more seriously. All that shit is is paranoia I think, which I've rarely gotten but I got it a few times usually from bad set&setting and where you are in life at the time. Not to mention I've had helpful insights but also I've gotten paranoia thinking my family is trying to spy on me etc

He didn't say he was trying to block it out. Unlike a lot of other people he didn't ask what drugs he could take to stop it, he was just discussing this effect.

To the OP: This seems very common... Perhaps lower the dosage otherwise take a two month break and then see how it feels when you come back?
 
Avoid Sativa strains since they can do this to people.
Also try smoking less and avoid it when you are stressed out.
 
oh wow man that was EXACTLY ME


just stop smoking for a while or cut down and smoke a joint..


no need to smoke 10 bong hits




im fine now and i smoked everyday last 2 weeks (first time for a LONG time) and no thoughts like that..


another thing was i was smoking at night before i went to bed. i would go to bed high as hell with nothing better to do then think. this lead to my rule to not smoke before bed time and i decided that i only smoke mid day so by the end of the night i can go right to sleep
 
Try to keep in mind that your mood and state of mind have a lot to do with everything (set and setting, too). Especially when taking mind altering drugs... Try and sort out your issues on a clean head, and if at all possible try and change your mood when you are about to enjoy your smoke session. I would try smoking a little less, too.

Even if what I have said is not an exact depiction, I would argue to say that if you're going off into a lala land that is full of problems and anxieties, something is on your mind...

Good luck, and I hope you are able to enjoy marijuana again. I smoke to relieve myself; I could not enjoy it the way I do if I suffered a lot of these common symptoms that it sometimes induces.
 
I have just accepted the paranoid as being part of the high.. it can lead to some useful introspection, but I know at times random paranoia such as someone mentioned 'your parents spying on you' is entirely irrational... and I'm sure we've all been there

Smoke for reasons other than to cure boredom such as to reward yourself.
 
Your not alone, I went thourgh the exact same thing as you. From my experience it signifies that something in your life is off - relationships with friends, family for eg- and smoking weed focuses your mind on this. So when your stoned you go into an introspective trip and do nothing but focus on the negetives. people say all you need to do is lay off the weed for a while but the only way you'll get better is to get to the root of the problem.

makes alot of sense thankyou!
 
ive been going through this same thing. Im 21 and ive been smoking since i was 13,daily since i was 18. The first few years pots a wholenother drug,it was my ecstasy,always stoned and loving it. Since ive been smoking daily(3 years)pots not as fun as it use to be,it kind of gets in the way somtimes,like at work or paying bills,dealing with familyetc.
Now i only smoke at night after work and all my duites.
Trust me,pots never going to be like it use to,now just look at it like another drug.
Peace
 
perhaps the weed is trying to tell you something. like its all well and good to sit back and get blazed, but not when there's work to be done...

hahahahaha I thought you were about to spit out something utterly stupid like "people say all you need to do is lay off the weed for a while but the only way you'll get better is smoking through it."
 
Weed telling people things?

Yo, the shit that gets you high is an non-living drug. It can't "tell" you anything.
