Maybe the strain didn't agree with me?

It was Grapefruit Kush. But then, that's a hybrid.

It's possible, I actually really learned to "enjoy" being high alone, maybe try that. Some people just prefer it that way (I know I do).

Or if you have never smoked with your sexual partner you might try that, foreplay while high can be amazing, and it's a great way to occupy your mind from things that might get you paranoid!

It's all about your state of mind when going into it, if you go in expecting to be paranoid, guess what you're gonna be feeling? Paranoia.

For anyone who has never been high but wants to i recommend;
a relaxing environment(living room or bedroom if possible), nothing scary, make sure you wont run into police or authority figures (big cause of paranoia), put on some music, and preferably have a good friend who you trust implicitly, drink water, do NOT smoke too much, 2-3 hits will usually get me a decent high for 90 minutes, and I smoke every day.



finally a guy that doesn't have his head so far up his ass, nails it!

amen brotha.

Neither. Both are stupid. I prefer keeping a sound mind. Well, as sound as I can, I did lose a few marbles a while ago :p

I didn't initially get the paranoia from pot, it was just pure awesomeness. But eventually it started seeping in. First I interpreted the self-criticalness as insights to improvement, but eventually it was just a constant attack on myself.

I stopped smoking it, but I still get self critical all the time about 3 years later. :\

he needs to take lsd. it will make him see everything for what it really is, and make him realize how important he is in this world of meaningless.

I've tried DMT. It gave me some sense of purpose to this universe. But overall, it didn't seem to help much for the depression.

I'm not big on either really, but I prefer a nice drink now and again before a nice smoke.

Though I have nothing against it, and think it should be legal.

I don't like the after effects of drinking nearly ad much. But weed makes me paranoid though relaxed. Its really odd.

Its a real tossup for me though it absolutely makes no sense that weed is not completely legal.

I've got to say though that weed can really make you concentrate well. I've broken code I couldn't understand while thinking about it high. Alcohol on the other hand you just forget things. Turns you into a complete idiot

depression curing, functionally usable, constant access to DMT is available NOW at your local Pentecostal church!

every tried shrooms? when i get my depression phase about once or twice a year i take about an eighth of shrooms (3.5g) eaten with a candy bar (to hide the disgusting taste) and i get knocked out of depression mode as soon as the onset kicks in. somthing about tripping that makes me realize my 9-5 job aint so bad, and it makes me think about the positives in my life much more then th negatives, and im no longer depressed. honest to god, shrooms cures my depression every time..

Never been a fan of the way weed made me feel, and I haven't done any other drugs.

I do like a good buzz when drinking though. Honestly the best drinking buzz is after I haven't had a drink in a few days, it's Friday, I'm hungry and I fire up the grill and drink a beer. That first few beers on a semi-empty stomach gives an awesome light buzz while sitting on my deck listening to the sound of grilling meat on a warm summer evening. Goes away quick, but it's great while it lasts!

Smart man. One time I mixed my rum and coke drinking with some sambuca shooters for my birthday party once.

Had a total black out (had ZERO memory of the night before). Woke up to a pissed off girlfriend who said every bad word under the sun..lol!

Seems that I woke up in the middle of the night and stood up and pee'd on the bed with her on it as well (guess she had a lot to drink herself and passed out).

She was figuratively and literally pissed off!
