Why can't I enjoy getting high

[freehugs]

So i'm an anxious person who always thinks and worries about shit thats gotta be done and never really relax and when you blaze it's suppose too chill you out right?? wrong for me my anxious personality just fucking flips out by 10 on kush so how can I just chill out and start enjoying my high (also sketching out about blazing in public doesn't help either) also used too have social anxiety which I can control now but when I blaze it ust seems too come back

Fuck all I want is too enjoy being high on weed so I don't need too use other drugs as much as I do

If you solve the problems behind your anxiety then weed will become fun for you.

If you get panic attacks, anxiety, or don't feel good when you get high why use cannabis then? Or don't smoke so much? Just smoke or vaporize a hit and see how it is, and use more hours later if you want to. Try different types or strains besides Kush?

A friend of mine who when she smokes pot gets super paranoid that the cops will show up, doesn't like being stoned in public, or gets high and thinks something will go wrong does not smoke daily and just does it a few times a year at home.

Don't get into taking benzos for anxiety or panic attacks you get from cannabis they're highly addictive as other people posted. Just learn what makes you anxious or panicky and use herb when you have everything done, and if being very stoned in public makes you anxious just stay at home like my friend does. Good luck.

Weed started to effect me in that way. I finally stopped, but do still smoke on occasion. Seems I am alright if I am drinking or took a benzo, but just weed alone and I risk getting a bad anxiety attack. I always take it easy now, too, taking only a couple hits.

Just an fyi, I smoked nearly everyday for around 7 years and was smoking on a regular basis (multiple times a week) for over 10. This wasn't an overnight thing, but I would say the first 3 years I never had much issue, after that I started getting anxiety from it. I wouldn't say it got progressively worse, but it got to a point where I just didn't find smoking to be worth it. It was like Russian Roulette, I might be fine and chill for the whole high, but at any moment I might freak out.

It kinda pisses me off because I did enjoy getting high, and alike you OP almost all my friends still blaze daily. Like I said and you probably know, benzos make it possible to relax while high, of course they are addictive as fuck so if you want to smoke everyday and not have anxiety there aren't many good options.



I wouldn't be so sure about that. Though I am not even sure what "serious business" is suppose to mean, either.

Serious business as in serious discussion about marijuana. I'm just comparing the threads about marijuana on Bluelight compared to other forums meant for discussion about marijuana, where the vibe is more "chill out and hit dat man".

The reason why I responded like that to his post was because he was using drug boards as an example of people not actually enjoying marijuana. If you look in this section, you see a lot of people discussing negative affects from marijuana - nothing wrong with that, but the reason this is seen so often is because it's on a harm reduction board.

This is all my opinion, I can't prove much of what I'm saying. I'm talking about this more than necessary, lol.

i Never understood why people do things that create more anxiety for themselves. if you are not enjoying weed then just dont do it. If you used to enjoy weed and now cant because of the anxiety then its time to quit and take a long break. or maybe you are just smoking in sketchy places with sketchy people so that will add on to your anxiety. idk they say setting really matters for your roll but i think that goes with all drugs.

You don't enjoy the high because you expect too much, maybe a few weeks of sobreity would make you apreciate it more.

Also, substituting a high for another is just a dark road you may never return from. What happens when that drug loses its magic? You'll turn to the next best high? Then what?

^this is true cuz before you n=know it you'll be chasing a high thats stronger and stronger and then before you even know it your snorting cocaine or shootin' up heroin. no offense to those of you who enjoy coke and the tar.

Weed is not for everyone, simple as that.

I smoked daily for years despite a lot of negative side effects, but continued to do so.

I look at it as abuse, thinking back, and honestly I regret putting that strain on myself mentally.


Not worth it, don't let the hype from the media and the general acceptance by the mainstream or popularity sway you into doing something that may be harmful to you personally.

Unless smoking weed is the problem. What if weed is the problem and he starts believing he has an anxiety disorder?
This...

I must admit that benzos + weed is a friggin good combination

Wouldn't want weed to lead to other drug use, proving gateway theory.

Drop some mdma ull be forced to love it, and all jokes aside some people just cant smoke pot after awhile of doing it due to anxiety, not weird rather common.

Make sure you have all the things done for the day you need to get done before smoking, also if you're sketchy about doing it in public do it at home where you know the risk of getting caught is slim to none. Also could be that weed is not the drug for you.

Some people just don't enjoy/agree with cannabis.

Try smoking far smaller amounts with space in between the session... my highs are better when I seep into them slowly.
