Paranoia caused by smoking

Maybe your subconscience was trying to tell you somthing. I find if I have an uneasy feeling its usualy for a reason. My intuition has really fine tuned itself over the years with the use of cannabis.

My husband and I went for a ride late late one night and I had a panicky feeling with paranoia it wasnt a cop feeling, but felt more like danger. We were driving thru a secluded park. I never did see anything that may a sparked it. But we do live in the 3rd most dangerous city in Amerikkka.

Hi, David. I know of a couple ways (besides weird chemicals) that the Cannabis Sacrament can cause more paranoia effect.

#1 is simply the strain--Sativa types have more of that effect than Indica's do.?? if its bagweed??who knows? you could ask??

#2 is if the Sacrament is kept flowering too long before it is harvested, a week or two can change the feeling.

You could do a little online reading to learn more of this if you were interested.
I hope this is of help to you.

Look for the thread , "What about the Herb" in Questions and faqs

There are some ways of dealing with that feeling when it does occur.

To start with make sure when you have your sacrament that you are in the right state of mind to fully enjoy it.

The bad feelings are not always "BAD" in the end though. Let me explain.

In my experience cannabis works as an enhancer. If I am in a happy state of mind, confortable, surrounded with people I like and trust and I am fine to start with, I will feel even better with some cannabis and go either in a contemplative state, creative state, spiritual state...

BUT

if I am not in the right situation to start with, if I am on my own at the wrong time while I would like to be with others or loved ones, or if I am going through a normal conflictual phase in my life, or I am with people I dislike and don't feel confortable with I CAN FEEL ALL THAT TEN TIMES FOLD. I can become anxious and yes... a little bit paranoid.

Is it bad? After long thinking I actually think it's not bad at all. It helped me on several occasions to find out what works best for me and choose the best for myself. It is possible David that there are things that you need to work on right now.

Let me know if you think that might be the case.

Take care

Hey man, I think that happens to all of us. For me it is a matter of confidence. I became very insecure because of smoking in bad moments, and I thought that I was going to get better if I kept smoking, even though every time I did it I became paranoid, and I knew that I shouldn´t smoke. I don´t know if it is your case that you have bad trips every time you smoke. As marijuana is a powerful spirited herb, I think it gives lessons to us. I learned that I wasn´t being very humble so the sacrament had to teach me a lesson, I had to stop smoking it for a while until I get myself humble again. My advice is stop smoking for a while until you think it would be okay; its good to be with nothing on you for a while, at least for me it was.

Peace man.
