Weed no longer being fun?

the most sustainable way is to confine yourself to a bowl each day (if you smoke a lot, add one for the morning) or just take a break

after a week or two or even just a few days a few bowls will be great

since insomnia can be a problem when smoking less, smoking that one bowl at nighttime is probably best

Try popping some pseudoephedrine an hour or two before you toke. If I'm buzzing on 120mgs, I can get quite a bit more stoned without all that annoying paranoia and anxiety.

this may be bad advice. pseudoeph and other stims usually increase anxiety. they can make the weed high more "trippy" and "up" and "cognitive" and i suppose that could take your mind away from the anxiety side effect. i never feel comfortable mixing stims and pot though
 
I was in a similar situation about 10 years ago. It took me quite a long time to get back to it being fun again.

I just stopped smoking. I stopped for over a year and then when I had it again I still didnt like it. Racing thoughts, negativity, inability to speak it all came back.

Now if I have it I make sure its in a good setting and I usually have a couple of beers and get used to the surroundings and company first.

The type of weed also has an impact. Last year I had a big dose of a really strong sativa in a strange environment and all the bad shit came back again but with milder mixed strain and indica buds at home or friends places I'm fine.
 
If you aren't enjoying pot anymore then now is a good time to take a break.

It really is that much more enjoyable after a long pause. You may also become reaquainted with the sharp and on time you.

Ive been at that stage in my life before, basically anytime i smoke, i get anxious, if i smoke to much, ive been smoking on and off for 7 years now,

its all about controlled dose, get a bong, with a glass screen, and load like 0.01 into the bowl, take that, relax, take another hit every five minutes until your comfortable

theres been periods in my life where i really hate smoking becasue of the anxiety, but now i know how to handle it, and i love weed once, again, its helped me cut down on drinking, and helps with my adhd, and insomnia

i wish thats the way it was with me, god i stop for a little bit my tolerance goes away completly and i can't smoke itanymore,

but now as my tolerance goes up i love weed more and more

but still even though ive been smoking 3 times a day since january, i can still get baked of a small bong hit(if its the first smoke of the day)
 
I feel you on what seems to be a reverse tolerance.

There is a point where regular dosing continues, but the amount one doses with decreases.

It takes a smoke or two to get over that anxious, unduly agitated, paranoid state. After that it is all gravy--gravy if you are a high functioning short toker.

i actually think that once the weed cherry is popped and you take a break when you start smoking again, your natural tolerance is lowered,
i remember when i first started smoking id smoke a whole joint and be really baked

then after my last quiting session one hit off a joint rolled me into a huge depressive pit of anxious despare that made me wanna die,

theres been points in my life that even just being around weed id get anxious, that only started hapening after my exstacy abuse fase
 
Really?

I can't say I ever abused MDMA/MDEA/MDA.

What I mean when I say reverse tolerance is that one matures enough to realize that being niced is preferable to being baked or--worse--zooted.
 
i was foolish in my youth who knows what i fucked myself up with,
all i know is now i have a minimal tolerance, thats only slowly building, then theres people who dont really smoke much weed, and they smoke 5-6 big bong tokes, and aren't paralysed,

everyones different, the mind is a mysterious thing
 
Weed has always and still does make me a less talkative and more anxious person, But that's what makes it good in my opinion. I will smoke it to get things done when i need to, a year or two ago i remember smoking a half O face up with friends and being the only one left awake still smoking it down. I think you may just be confused about the drug, It's common with fairly new smokers who start to think it's the weed that's fucking up there lives and that can lead you in to depression/anxiety.

I would say try something like xtc and get close with your little marijuana friend ;)

I wholeheartedly disagree with that advice.

Taking one drug just to enjoy another is... well... in my opinion, it's pretty fucking stupid.

worst combo ever for anxious people IME. may increase the chance of lasting effects like anxiety or hppd as well
 
I think that depends on the strain.... Throw a nice benzo over the top and you are all good.

Smoking pot can get pretty boring, but that's why you need hobbies to go along with it.
 
Social paranoia usually doesn't really go away. I abhor being stuck in the middle of a large social gathering whilst heavily stoned. The kind where everyone is a friend of a friend of a friend and people just sit around gossiping about personal acquaintances and retelling old war stories so that you can't contribute anything anyway. Fuck that. It never really gets easier although with practice you can kind of accept your social handicap and move forward trying to make the best of the night instead of sitting there hating on yourself.

Also, when I first started smoking, smoking would BE the entertainment. Now it just makes things I already find entertaining slightly more interesting. And not even reliably so. Try not to let it get to the point where it becomes a lifestyle drug, though it's difficult depending on who your friends are.
 
I have always felt this way when smoking weed with a couple exceptions. I get self conscious, nervous, just a very overall uncomfortable feeling.

I've tried smoking more, less, different strains, different ROAs but I came to the conclusion that weed isn't for everyone.
