If this doesn't make much sense, I'm not surprised. I took a pretty stupid amount of pills of all kinds today, one of my dumber days.
Now that I've viewed my post, I think that it should only be interpreted in a general and speculative way, a bunch of educated guesses that are not complete bullshit but not very precise either. This one has research and evidence behind it, but only stuff that I remember reading and seeing, not much that I could readily link to. Here goes...
That doesn't seem too abnormal. Obviously some people can handle more weed than others, but I think most of it is in the dose/strength/tolerance. I think most people could become very paranoid if they kept toking on a joint of strong bud repeatedly until they encountered psychosis.
I used to love weed, but now the crash almost merges with the high and I feel pretty jumpy from nothing... If there's such a stage as being so damaged (whatever you want to call it) that the drug actually affects you strongly again, usually negatively, that's how I feel. For a newbie though, maybe you're just getting too stoned on sativa bud? that would be normal.
The feeling wears off... right? I smoked strong bud all day for four months. After three months I felt like I was getting near some serious mental problems, feeling as though I could snap anytime, but I always hoped that the next high wouldn't be bad, or I'd forget the unpleasant parts. I eventually even learned to like it for what it was, good or bad. Anyway, I smoked heavily for one more month and that made the effects stay, although they get milder over time. Once you get those bad reactions, stay away from weed, otherwise the paranoia and anxiety start to seep into sober life and stay for several months (obviously depends on the severity).
I didn't have much anxiety before the abuse, either. Just be wary of how much you take. Intense abuse can destroy healthy minds. my observations:
short-term:
Indica-dominant overdose = very slow thinking, sleeping, passing out peacefully
sativa-dominant overdose = paranoia, hallucinations, psychotic episodes
long-term abuse (daily for years):
indica-dominant turns you into a boring, slow, apathetic person
sativa-dominant turns you into a psychotic, delusional, and horribly depressed person, but also enlightens you in some ways.
It definitely depends on frequency, dose, length of use, and person. These are rough educated guesses.
While cannabis sativa often gives a much sharper and more visually intense high, it also seems much more taxing on my body. This may not seem important in the short run as marijuana of any kind rarely causes significant problems with occasional use, but it makes a huge difference once it becomes a daily thing. If you keep smoking, I'd recommend trying to find a light indica strain. In my opinion, some characteristic effects of the strains:
Stronger sativas: speedy, stimulating buzz that feels like you're floating, or rising, often with electrical visuals and a sharp, futuristic visual shift and not uncommonly accompanied by vague auditory hallucinations and split-second visual hallucinations and flashes. The vast majority of peoples' feelings range from strong euphoria to moderate dysphoria
Best described as a light psychedelic high with a strong buzz and minor psychotic symptoms. This is almost like taking a peak into the psychedelic world. Most daily smokers of this kind of marijuana may end up with a minor mental illness after months of use but eventually, after years, may develop serious mental illnesses.
Most people smoke hybrids, often near 50/50 indica/sativa. These can produce a feeling of sinking or of bouncy heaviness. This provides a good combination of feeling high but also stoned, able to think about philosophical ideas while being locked to your couch.
Lighter indicas: slow, depressant-type buzz that feels like you're heavy. Also comes with a subtle, unimpressive, and uninteresting hallucinogenic element, probably the reason for why many people think that weed isn't hallucinogenic. The vast majority of peoples' feelings range from neutral to light euphoria. Best described as a light euphoric depressant, and is very mildly damaging compared to other drugs. Most daily smokers of these strains will not encounter any serious mental problems from their use, although some may have minor ones after years of daily use.
Also, all of the types can be weak or strong, but I'm being very general here.
If I can get myself together, maybe I'll eventually start writing *real,* well-researched and well-thought-out articles about the OP's questions and whatnot. Just need sleep, practice and recovery from drugs. I have gotten some negative vibes because of my crappy posts. What can I do? It's so much harder get intellectual work done now.
