weed can open your mind up to who you are, it did that for me. but it can also make you paranoid, I started growing around 2 years ago and last October became extremely paranoid for a month, after smoking 5/6 oz a month for 6 months, I do put it down to the fact I was also smoking 1 or 2 grams a day of dry sift on top of the bud that was at my guess 60/70%, my rough estimate is that I was putting 2000/3000 mg of thc a day into my system, maybe more… it wasn't cool and I have quit since then and will try my best to not go back to smoking, I have adhd and that was my reason for using it, I still say its a better medicine than Ritalin but like anything moderation is a key part of life. Ritalin also made me paranoid as a kid…
So everyone in the comments smoked weed from age 12 to 22? Lmao
Grown men who are still pot heads, Deary me how embarrassing.
These people in the comment blaming "weed" for their inability to man-up need to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask themselves "was it really the weed, or am I just a little bitch?"
This is for all the people saying "it's all about moderation" and "if you're having anxiety/paranoia" or anything besides fuckin' nirvana when you smoke, "then I don't know what the hell you're smokin'!"
It's when I smoke in moderation that I CAN'T tolerate cannabis. When I was smoking daily, I loved it. It actually helped my anxiety and depression. But when I started smoking less and less is when I'd experience more of these negative symptoms, and it became unbearable after I stopped smoking for a couple months and then tried to start again. I'd take just 1 or 2 hits, get "too high," and I'd get extremely uncomfortable, I'd be anxiety ridden, I'd dwell on/ruminate about everything that was currently bothering me as well as things I regretted from when I was a frickin' teenager. The last time I smoked I ended up having a panic attack.
And I'm not some newbie, as I have plenty experience, nor is it that I was "smoking the wrong stuff" or didn't know what I was doing. I was a habitual smoker from age 14-18, then again from age 23 until age 31 which was just a few months ago. And during all that time (except the first few times I smoked nearly 20 years ago which was some nasty ass shwag that half you young'n's probably know nothing about) I was smoking/eating highly potent cannabis.
Really, it's just like they talked about in the podcast–first and foremost, if life is going well, then your high will reflect that. But if you've got shit nagging at you and/or you have some shit deep down in your subconscious that's bothering you, cannabis will bring that shit out and it's not fun. And it's especially true if you don't smoke very often. Daily/habitual smokers like I was for half my life don't have that problem, at least not as often. The thing I'd add to what they were saying is that, if you're like me and you have any predisposition to anxiety, depression, and/or panic attacks, then you're far more likely to experience negative symptoms after smoking cannabis.
Anyhow, to sum up why I had to quit, just last year I'd gotten to the point where I was only smoking once every couple of weeks and was beginning to have those very undesirable symptoms, so I finally quit for a few months and didn't smoke at all. Of course I got bored and tried smoking again another handful of times, but each time I became even more anxious and depressed until finally, the last time I smoked which was about 2 months ago, I had a full-blown panic attack in which I nearly lost consciousness (fainted), couldn't breathe, and felt like I was literally having a heart attack. Needless to say, I haven't smoked since, and I don't really care to.
