I’ve smoked weed quite a few times in the past and it’s chilled me out a little but the negatives have always outweighed the positives, such as very bad paranoia, anxiety and a general uncomfortable feeling.
Recently I had a smoke before a night out. Like usual, at first it felt good, little mellow, was joking around with my mates and then we got a cab to a club (never smoking before going out again, just felt tired). As we got in the cab, I properly started tripping out like never before. The weirdest things were happening to me, every single thing that I thought about was making me over think things to the point where I was actually scared. I noticed that because of all this thinking inside my head that I had stopped talking to everybody which made me panic because I’m usually never quiet. Then the worst of all, I really focused on my friends conversation and suddenly couldn’t understand what they were saying, literally not a word. I couldn’t even think in my head as I couldn’t understand the voice in my head. Absolute mindfuck. I tried speaking but couldn’t which made freaked me out. We finally got out of the cab and I could understand again but I was so scared I made my friend promise me that I’d never smoke weed again.
Being stupid of me, a week later I was bored and decided to have another smoke. This time I went into my room once I had smoked it and chilled, listened to some Bob Marley when all of a sudden I started to feel my heart beating really fast, at first I tried to forget about it but in the end I just couldn’t because the feeling was really enhanced like I could feel it within my whole chest. Then weirdly, every body part that I thought about started doing something weird. For example, I thought about having a dead leg and instantly I physically couldn’t move that leg, then as soon as I thought about being able to move it I could. This may sound absolutely ridiculous but it’s true. Then from being really high I thought about the feeling of being sober and being truthfully honest I felt completely sober, 100% fine. I got up from the slouched position I’d been in for 10 minutes or so and walked around my room, I was completely shocked. I quickly sat back down to message my mate on Facebook about it and then I was back to the high state again. I really think weed has fucked up affects on me but it would be interesting if anyone has had anything similar happen to them.
Both nights I smoked about half a blunt with a friend (I’m so inexperienced with weed, not even sure if that’s a lot! haha)
But please reply with your opinion, thanks!

Heya mate. Sounds like you need to stop smoking it to me. Personally all I think is happening is extreme paranoia, nothing physically going wrong, you’re just believing whatever your subconscious tells you. It’s mind over matter but when your mind gives you negative feedback you get shit like this happening. Weed simply doesn’t agree with everyone and you would seem to be one of those people. Case closed I think.
PS depending on the size of the blunt (any idea what weight was in it?) unless you smoke weed regularly yes half a blunt is a lot.
I’ve tripped more on weed than LSD. Probably around the 10th time I smoked it (having never done more than 3.5g with a friend in a single night) me and 3 friends got a half ounce/14g of northern lights and blitzed it all in a single sitting. Don’t remember much apart from lying in a field at about 4am with 1 of my mates sat over me blowing smoke in my face. He was telling me everyone else had gone in but he stuck with me cos he felt bad and knew I was in no state to move. I could hear everything he said but my mouth simply wouldn’t produce a response. I was literally paralytic from being too high. I was staring at the sky and the more I focused on the stars the more vivid they became, then suddenly it was like my minds eye was awakened to the normally imperceptible hyperactivity of the cosmos. I could clearly see the solar system stretched across the sky with black holes, meteorites and white dwarves speckled about. There didn’t seem to be a single patch of inactive space.
I must of led there tripping out for hours cos my mate alerted me to the rising sun (I hadn’t noticed) and the fact he was going home. I don’t remember making the decision to walk home but found myself near the end of my road when I could hear excited chattering and hooves clippity cloppying on the tarmac, I looked up and saw several members of the KKK on horseback. Did I panic, did I fuck. I calmly told myself I wasn’t black therefore they had no quarrel with me I will continue. Carried on walking until about 10meters away the hooded racists melted and morphed into a bus stop. There’s more to that story but you get the idea lol. Fucking ridiculous state to be in.
Yeah sounds like you are getting severe paranoia. I’d stop smoking if I was you as it’ll only get worse, and could start to happen in your sober life if you carry on too much.
my mates had a similar thing. we smoked it quite hevily and regularly for about 4 years, then he started really not enjoying the high anymore, paranoia, just like you explained. obviously i cannot say if this is exactly the same, because it didnt happen to me, but from what hes said, seems pretty similar. even now if he has like a few drags, he get proper high, and really peeks out…
As others have said, stop smoking it. Weed does this to some people, sometimes early on; sometimes it can start after years of use. Continuing to use this drug when its doing this to you could affect your mental health. Avoid.

Thanks for the info mate, yeah literally paranoia at its worse, it’s the worst things ever, think I will stop smoking it. Only thing is when everyone else is I want to (not peer pressure) just because I remember the chilled out feeling and think that the paranoia won’t happen but it sometimes does! But yeah I will stop. Don’t have a clue on how big it was either. Wow that’s a crazy story, I have had so many weird things happen to me including sounds that I know aren’t there, thinking there’s someone downstairs in the darkness so scared to go down etc. It really is a bad state, one time when I made brownies for the first time, I was so bad that I thought it would never end and everything I did felt weird, I was noticing peoples reactions to me and I just wanted it all to stop! Horrible.

Ok yeah I’m going to stop. Well, it already has. The day after when it happened, I was sitting in a lecture and it was like a gradual rise to that horrible state of mind, I felt like whatever I’d say would sound stupid and not come out right etc. This carried on for about 2 hours until I met up with a mate and it slowly went. Really fucked up.
As above, paranoia is quite common, not only fear of being caught, but also thinking people are talking about you, or even wondering about about what other people are thinking about you. When I smoked I only got this in a very mild occasional way, but effects vary from person to person.
Forgetfulness and ‘loop’ effect are also common side effects with strong weed, where you repeat the same conversation or thought process over several times.
Lots of people dont like drugs at all ( freaked by loss of control etc ), those that take drugs usual have ones they like and ones they wont touch because likes & dislikes are very much a personal thing
General rule is If you dont enjoy it dont do it
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Only because I didn’t have any tobacco! Yeah I suppose that would be better. Think I have skunk, it really does fuck me up. I think the reason I keep trying it is because I don’t feel I’ve ever felt the effects that my mates do and it always looks like they’re having a good time when they smoke it.
