WHY DOES WEED MAKE SOME PEOPLE PARANOID?

only you are paranoid...lol

OP, you were probably smoking smoke hardcore Sativa. That gives you a high similar to an overdose of caffeine. The same happens to me and many other people. Also, try vaporizing it instead of smoking, it takes the edgy side of the high.
Vaporizing + soft indica = very relaxed, good mood high/stone.

dude its because of your subconcious will make a big deal out of things then your conscious will act on it and like for example if you were scared of getting caught by the police then every thing that you see that reminds your brain of police or whatever would make you think about police ..kinda like the purple polar bear theory,like if i said dont think of a purple polar bear..then of coarse your minds gonna get wrapped around a purple polar bear, its the same with paranoia,like it gets worst the more you think about it and try to understand because thats how paranoia works..but once you really experience how it works then you can fight it but like the more you smoke once you reach paranoia then it only gets worst then shit gets too real then you become a cucumber then your lifes no fun anymore...

Depends on who grows it.

Paranoid people = Paranoid bud

Razrin's weed = ultra mellow.

Doesn't surprise me that the best stashes are grown by women.

Im one of those who gets paranoid from weed. When i started smoking the shit i was fine, had some good times... but after a while i had some psychosis and now dont go near the stuff. GL to those who love to smoke it, but its not my drug of choice

You couldn't be more wrong.

+1

dunno.. been smoking weed for a long time, but have to admit that it makes me paranoid recently.

even have to avoid it.

actually it seems that smoking is only good in relaxed setting.

when i smoke it on a daily basis here it comes paranoia and paralysed social activities.

Do you know that one joint will cause the damage of 4 cigarattes

I have nothing against smoking pot, in fact up untill a few months ago, after I would get home from work, it would help me relax, and sleep really well. Latley When I smoke a few hits of the pipe I am getting extremely paranoid. I feel fine before, but after I feel guilty for the things I have said and done throughout the day, weird, I can't stop with the thoughts, irrational stupid thoughts. Makes me feel like I am gonna have a panic attack. Why is this happening. I know I need to quit, but now I will have to take sleeping pills to sleep. Does anyone know why really why this happens to some people, I think it may be a mental disorder, or is that just the paranoia? I know I sound crazy but I really would like to know what the hell is going on, probably should see someone about it, I am serious.

because you were conditioned to believe it was BAD.

Because it is illegal. I only ever felt paranoid if I thought someone was gonna smell it and bust me, other than that no paranoia.

It opens door to your body. The entities that enter must match your vibrations. If you are of light or you are of dark has then very different endings.

lol you just graduated to another drug. You weren't feeling "paranoid" you just werent happy with the chemical induced so your brain said "give me something else". opiatesss are the devilll.

becasue you soon realize the gated community you live in is a prison.

I'm quitting for the next week, but not becasue I am paranoid because I've been smoking for so long I need to prove to myself that I am still the one driving this ship.

I cant handle the stuff , puts me in psychosis, paranoid as all hell. But ive seen worse than me. I know a guy who smokes all the time and his paranoia has gotten worse but he still smokes. I gave him my old computer and he was convinced i deliberately messed it up so he couldnt use it. Even though it was perfectly fine for the longest time. All it needed was a reformat and the idiot threw it in the garbage, some gratitude.Also i lived above him and he was telling people i was planning on shooting him through the floor while he was laying in bed.

i skipped ahead of all 5 pages
so i dont know if someone hasnt already pointed this out:

ALCHOHOL=depressant
CAFFEINE=stimulant
MARIJUANA=enhancer.

it is neither a stimulant nor a depressant.
it ENHANCES UR mood.
so however U feel, it will increase that feeling.

and it also depends on how good the shit is.

So 30 something more than retarded retards are your co-workers what does that say about you?

The Fucking PIGS!
They want you to feel like you are commiting a crime.

I am a medical user in a LEGAL STATE and have no paranoia.

Anyone else agree?

because that's your body and mind's way of telling you that you don't need to be smoking it...what you are mistaking as paranoia is actually anxiety and if it makes you feel anything but good and happy then why would you do it? "listen" to how your body responds to all substances in order to be happy and healthy. don't be afraid to try life for a little while without marijuana.

I get paranoid and very disoriented when I smoke pot.
I happen to have very low blood sugar, and pot lowers your blood sugar, so my theory is that my blood sugar goes so low, that I can't function or think properly.
The same lowering of blood sugar is what gives you the "munchies" after smoking.

Cause the cops are after you?

The reason, alot more people are getting paranoid cause of weed, is because the last 25 years, the THC percentage has gone from roughly 0.8 percent, to 30,5% so, the effect are more intense, and give an extra kick, also chemicals are used to add "weight"to the plant/destroy fungus/insects, and Hybrids are made to grow practically anywhere...

because it makes it more apparent that you're in the
middle of ww3 - fluoride, chemtrails, gm food, vaccines,
debased culture, slaughters in the middle east , total surveillance etc etc etc

This post is so old, but I would just like to say that I'm a VERY paranoid person to begin with. I began smoking weed at the age of 13, I smoked all throughout my childhood years until I hit 16. I was a wild child and ended up being placed on probation, as a requirement of this your obligated to provide urine samples for drug testing. So for I had no choice but to quit smoking for the remainder of my 2 years. The reason why I smoked was because it helped me with my anxiety,depression,and anger problems. Weed just chilled me out and made me love life, helped me realize that there is beauty in the world. While I was on probation I was overwhelmed with my physiological problems, I had relied on marijuana for so many years that once I stopped smoking I had no idea what to do. My depression got worse, my anxiety progressed, things just spiraled out of control. Now that I'm off probation I began to smoke again, exited to do so only to realize that things had changed and that my high was completely different than it was before. I now get extremely paranoid and shake uncontrollably, I basically have mild panic attacks. It upsets me because I know I can enjoy smoking because I have in the past. And I believe that me quitting smoking because of probation really has an affect on it. But overall I LOVE WEED, and even tho at this point I can't enjoy my high, one day I will get over my issues and find the peace in me. Weed has NOTHING to do with MY problems. Weed doesn't have a mind of it's own so for the only way it can affect you, is the way you allow your own mind to do so. Hope this changes the anti-marijuana people's opinion out there.

BTW ' I HAVE TONS OF STONER FRIENDS, AND THEY ARE NICEST MOST CHILL LOVING PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET!

So that topic of stoners being "evil" needs to be thrown out.

I'm in this camp now, and this is coming from a young college stoner who's only reason in quitting weed is because I can't get any Christmas break. This shit is mentally addictive, and makes me think waaaay to much. I think the paranoia really comes from the fact you imagine every scenario or situation, good or bad, and essentially you can't put the "brakes" on your own imagination.

I walked out of this experience realizing that weed is for done people, but not all. Some can naturally put things together, feel empathy for others, and can put themselves in their own natural meditative bliss. For those that can't, weed helps us get there. To each his own, the key is finding what's right for you, and having the ability to pursue such without the influence of others, or in a manner that is negative or unproductive.
