Extreme paranoia alert.

Post by Turtle Slapper »

I've been smoking weed on and off for a few years. I've been smoking weed regularly for the last little while. I get paranoid about everything. Whether it is about people being against me, or some crazed fantasy plot made up in my own head. I'm wondering if this could be an onset of smoking.

Should I stop?

Will it get worse as I continue smoking?

Will it go away if I stop smoking?

Any thoughts or opinions on the matter would really put my mind at ease.

You gotta talk to Weedguru Anex or Shwoot on that one. They've both had similar experiences I believe

Yea man I used to get paranoid all the time. I finally just threw out my paraphenila because thats what will bite you in the ass around here. Switched over to joints and things sure seemed to be less freaky.

The easiest way would be to stop smoking, because it likely will go away. Worked for me.

However, I tried smoking for the past 2 nights, so I'm learning how to do it properly. Try to find the thing that bothers you the most, and isolate it. The worst thing for me was that I thought people hated me and just pretended not to, so I made sure they weren't around when I smoked. I only smoke with my best friend, people I don't know very well, and total strangers (isolating the group in between best friend and people I don't know very well)

Also, you could try just getting used to things. Like the past 2 nights, near my come-down, I started thinking all these fucked up conspiracy-theory thoughts, and I thought people were reading my mind, cuz I would all of a sudden just think about something else. But, it was fun in some weird way.

I'm not worried about people catching me smoking. I'm more paranoid on peoples motivations towards me. I feel as if everyone is against me and put on "1st face", while there is a "2nd face" that are the true intentions of the person. Usually the 2nd face is negative towards me. I feel like people try and hurt me through manipulation. Even a day after I smoke I still have these feelings.

I have considered trying to stop smoking, but I do not know if I can. Whenever a spliff if lit, I always hit that shit. I've tried to only drink when I'm out with friends, but end up blazing when I'm drunk.

I think I have to stop smoking.

The time is now. I've been caught up for a while. The refeer must go with the pain. Pain is part of life's game. Shallow as it may seem, it runs so deep within me. Never ending in its eternal glory. The time is now.

Thanks for your help.
