Hi all,

I've just joined basically so I can ask this question about smoking weed. I was wondering do you think that some people just aren't cut out for smoking weed? I'll explain...

I have taken lots of different drugs before, always recreational such as speed, pills, ketamine, lsd, mushrooms etc never really had a bad time on any of them. I never touch drugs in the week and sometimes go 2-3 weeks without taking anything (basically just trying to say I have taken loads of different drugs but I'm not a heavy user of any!)

The only drug I ever find myself having a bad time on is weed? I have smoked it before and been ok but more often than not I get paranoid and feel out of the conversation if I'm in a room full of people. I get aware that i haven't said anything for a while, then when I do say something I'll wonder if I said it too loud etc, I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about. It seems to have no positive effect on me.

Is everyone like that if they don't smoke it regularly? Is that something that passes in time if you persevere? Or do regular smokers just get high the first time, love it and continue?

I have friends who smoke it every day and they are fine with it whereas I think if I smoked it every day I would be an absolute mess incapable of doing anything haha
 
From the sound of it you are experience paranoia when you smoke cannabis. Drugs effect everyone in different ways. I'd say quit weed and stick to the drugs you enjoy. There's not much fun in being paranoid.
 
Hey radio, Welcome to bluelight.

This is a pretty common question with a simple answer. Yes, weed is not for everyone and not everyone loves it. Everyone has different brain chemistry, and even though it is commonly thought that weed is one of those things that everyone enjoys just like drinking! But that is a myth, just like drinking. I personally could care less about alcohol, I have a sensitive stomach and drinking makes me feel sick so easily. I end up regretting is more often then I have a fun crazy night. And I HATE getting sick to my stomach, which makes hang-overs that much worse for me. Its kinda why I love weed so much, its makes my stomach feel better when I often have trouble eating and get bad indigestion.

Here in Cannabis Discussion we have whole mega threads dedicated to the negative side effects that you described. They are totally common. I see people who love getting high but occasionally have issues and people like you who just feel weird and get anxious when they are stoned. Some people get bad anxiety and even have panic attacks which scare the shit out of you.

Feel free to look around CD, lots of useful info. And click the link in my signiture and check out the CD directory. Its got links to all the Mega threads which cover many common questions.
 
Nice one! I kind of guessed it would be a case of it just not agreeing with me, just wondered if everyone feels like that at first but push through but that probably isn't the case.

It kind of annoys me in a way, just because I like the escapism of any substance and the way it changes your behaviour but I like to be clear headed for day to day things such as work, driving etc so you can't go getting yourself smashed on any drug (alcohol included) the night before but you could enjoy a smoke, go to sleep and wake up fine so I suppose I feel I'm missing out a bit there!

Plus the fact it can be abused like crack without any problems. Love weed.
 
I'd feel that way too if I were to smoke in a room full of people.
Have you tried smoking on your own? or maybe with just a couple of good friends?
 
I get the same thing when its with a bunch of people i dont really know, id find it much more easier to converse if i was sober. But when im with good friends i dont get the paranoia.

If its potent weed, you can expect just what you describe if you only use it now and then! If used more often, these effects mostly get a lot milder and easier to handle, letting you relax and enjoy the stone! Try smoking by yourself with some music, and lay back and relax! Dont smoke so much either. Just a bit at a time, till you feel comfortable! Often, the initial anxiety and paranoia experienced by some, go away as the stone gets a bit farther along. Dont give up on it yet, its by far the mildest, and least damaging of any recreational drug:)
 
I'm a regular smoker. I got high as a kite the first time, and smoked nearly everyday since.

Great for pain management for someone my age, although it's still illegal here.

I used to get paranoid sometimes, esp in public or school, but now paranoia is pretty much non-existent. I'm pretty antisocial but, always been that way though.
 
My brother litterally goes crazy on weed and has everytime he does it, yet drinks and has done other drugs in the past without any issues. Granted, my brother is an exception because he has a severe anxiety disorder that marijuana seems to affect. I guess my advice is to stick to what you like, as said before, and be grateful that your reaction isn't as bad as my brother who loses all ties with reality and usually leads to the cops being called because of dillusions of grandure.
 
I have smoked for 4-5 years everyday and ive never experience the paranoia some people explain on here. In some cases it could just be a tolerance issue, I used to get so fucking high it was unbelievable, it was better than anyother drug ive had before, but now its just a high ive known for years. I like it tho =D
Gotta love hitting some good dank out of a 3ft bong and stuffing your face with food!! %)
