I Get Very Paranoid About People Noticing I'm High Off Weed

[Gizmo j]

I'm in a housing program that doesn't allow weed on the property but you're permitted to smoke weed away from the property.

The problem is when in public I get very afraid of people thinking Im high, or that I'm acting oddly.

I get very self-conscious about my body language and mannerisms and try really hard not to look strange, I'd be like:

AM I WALKING WIERD?
AM I MAKING WIERD FACIAL EXPRESSIONS?
AM I SITTING WEIRD?

Does this ever happen to you?

Have you tried not getting high?

 

[Grey_Beard]

I say smoke more. Get so high you are no longer worried about it. Drink a beer and blame it on drinking.

Yes. Yes you are.


Also I'm not sure why you didn't just edit that last thread to reflect your latest cry for attention .... it's not like this one won't be hijacked immediately anyway!

Bruce is right

Doing weed in public will lead to paranoia as you start to worry about how people perceive you and then it leads to an anxiety attack. I learned that the hard way myself when I did it at a work Christmas party. Never again. If ever I do decide to try weed I will make sure I'm alone. I think the only way I'd decide to do it is if I want to try it for medical reasons. I'd probably try edibles instead. All sorts of stuff at the store to try really. CBD/THC oils etc too may be an option.

Nope. I vape Indica strains for my MS. Try it.

This my friend is where not giving a rats a$$ what anyone thinks comes in handy!



(next time you're HAF in public give it a try!)


To be honest these days I prefer to stay home and play Skyrim when I'm high myself!

for some reason, i never realized this song was by the same guys who did "land down under"

 

[sandorski]

Never noticed.

I you meet a girl named Lola don't take here back to your place!

 

[pmv]

Quite a distressing irony in what ultimately happened to the sax-player in that band/video. (A story which is also a reason to be annoyed with rent-seeking corporations.)

 

[snoopy7548]

Same here. I guess I do have something in common with OP...

You are obviously smoking a strain that makes you paranoid. Time to switch or reduce dosage.

 

[ultimatebob]

I'm pretty sure that NVidia does random drug testing. Smoking weed isn't going to help you land that prestigious GPU Engineering job!

 

[VashHT]

Yeah strain matters a lot, certain ones make me way more paranoid. It's not as simple as indica vs sativa either, I have strains I like and don't like from both sides.

This. It happened to me more often back when I was a new smoker, but nowadays, it's either a strain that isn't to my liking and/or I've had too much.

 

[MrSquished]

You're the only one this happens to. I would definitely go to a doctor and get some scans and blood work.

Please read your posting history. The last thing you need to worry about is being high. There are far greater issues at hand.

 

[BudAshes]

Maybe you are more of a meth guy.

 

[BoomerD]

I realize it probably escapes the OP, but there is one REALLY easy solution to this problem.

(well, two, but encouraging suicide is frowned upon here for some stupid reason)

Certain high-THC Sativa/Sativa-leaning hybrids will do that to me once in a great while .... usually strains mixed with East Coast Sour-Diesel.

Still trying to figure out exactly what chemical property that type of bud has which can trigger mild anxiety so I can avoid it.

Overall its not a serious problem though unless you are prone to panic-attacks .... those can be dangerous for multiple reasons.
