Stoned Anxiety

dislexic

So i used to be a pretty big stoner, smoking stupid amounts on a daily bases, but as the summer ended and i started having to worry about real shit such as starting college and a new job i found myself smoking less and less, now that i have got adjusted to my new life style i have started smoking again but now im done after a coupple hits, which seems like it should be better right. Well its not now whenever i smoke i seem to have very high anxiety and being stoned has become unenjoyable for me. The anxiety seems to take over and i can no longer enjoy the mindless munching and silly aduly swim cartoon shows like i used to.

I was just wondering a few thing and figured this was the place to ask 1) has anyone experienced this before and if so how did you deal with it and 2) any idea what could be causing it.

Please respong honestly because i miss the old careless highs i used to enjoy.

Anxiety can be caused by alot of things.... are you sure that perhaps now there is more on your mind and this could come into account more when you smoke. Are you in a environment that you are comfortable in?? No this has never happened to me but I am trying to relate to this because it seems to have a affect on your life that you are unsure of.
Yes you have come to the right place and I am sure you will get some helpful info here from members. All the best with this.

thanx, and i forgot to mention in my thread that i have never experienced anxiety before and i only experience it now when i have been smoking

Do you feel anxious or restless?

Either way, whenever I get restless while I'm high, or just cant content myself to sit around watching something, I play video games. When your stoned, you tend to only have so much attention to distribute, and if you do something like gaming, it can suck you right in. I'll try to think of some other ideas...

i have the same problem when i quit smoking for more than about six months. after a couple of months of smoking again the anxiety seems to go away and i'm back to giggling at the silly shit again. i've found that the longer the break the worse it is. over the years i've quit many times and every time i come back it's the same damn thing.

but then that's just me.

hi dislexic
well, your life has changed since summer,
you got more responsibilities and less free time,
it gets like that,
sounds like paranoia too,
interesting side effect...
hangin out with us will certainly help,
i find, that when i smoke,
it needs to be quality time, enjoying it,
alone or hangin with others,
you might want to try checkin to see what kind of budd yur smokin,
an Indica or a Sativa,
this i am just learning,
so others might have some better advice on that subject,
hang in there
cya in chat

And for stuff like that, you can find information on good old Erowid.org.

Erowid Cannabis Vault : Identifying Cannabis

That explains the differance between Sativa and Indica pretty well from a physical aspect. I also found this on another messege board to explain a little better.

"Fat leaves and short bush = Indica
Thin leaves and tall bush = Sativa

Indica, higher CBD than THC equals heavier, sleepy type of high. Yield is usually higer than Sativa, and shorter growing season. Better for indoor growing, because they don't get as tall.

Sativa has higher THC than CBD equals cerebral, soaring type of high, more energetic yield is usually lower than Indica, but is very potent.

Sativa's typically take longer to germinate and flower and they grow
more gangly then indica breeds.

I guess the only way to tell if your bud is Sativa or Indica is to smoke it and whatever kind of high it gives you is generally one of the species."

yea i had a look at it but i dont think its tthe bud im smoking that is the prolbem, simply because it is the same bud from the same person i usually smoke

I found that I have been very anxious these past couple of weeks, but there has been a lot going on this year that has effected my life in a big way. So, if you are undergoing some major changes in your life, like a new job, school... a new place to live, all of those could be a factor. Just don't overthink everything, thats my problem... I think WAY to much and it makes the problem worse. I'm rambling.
Peace.

Whatever the cause, I think me and Calvin have the solutions.

You just have to find something that calms you down. The nice things about being stoned is it can narrow your focus. Find something you can focus on and you probably wont have the spare processing power to be anxious .

do you have a girlfriend who doesnt smoke? maybe thats what it is...
