Weird High everytime I smoke...?

Alright, been smoking for about 2 years, and I still love pot. The thing is, for about the last 3-4 months, I have been getting extremely nervous/paranoid when I get high around people. Sometimes I will get like this for like 10 minutes and then itll go away, and sometmes it seems like it last the whole high, which sucks when you smoke a huge bowl and feel like that for over an hour. Even if I get high with my close friends, i get extremely uncomfortable and feel awkward and paranoid. This used to not happy; I would be very chill and calm, basically just your typyical person who is high. I have talked to my friends and asked them (when I am not high) if I am actually really awkward and just generally not fun to be around when I am high, but evertime they say that they dont notice anything unusual. I just dont get it. This used to not happen (or at least not near as much), but now I sometimes turn down a smoke with friends bc I get worried that Ill sttress out and get uncomfortable. Everyone says weed helps with stress, but it seems like it brings on a bunch of stress for me lately. It pisses me off because I love the feeling I used to get. I dont know whats going on...? Is it just that I am thinking about it too much or what? Just figured I would see what yall think, and hopefully yall have a solution maybe? I am considering only smoking alone, but that thought alone depresses me bc I used to love getting stoned with my friends and playing Xbox or whatever. Hell, at the very least, yall might get a good laugh at me asking about my high ha

Basically is there something I can do/ tell myself thatll clm me down or something?

hmmm what you need to do is smoke by your self when you can at least five times and start to feel cool about your self... smoke by your self a couple of times will chill you out and make you less stressed out, you wont have to worry about anything.

yea I love when I smoke by myslef....that crap doesnt happen i just get stoned and feel great. I think (well I know) its just in my head, and I guess I just gotta get over it or quit smokin with friends, and I dont wanna do that so I guess i gotta find a way to just get over it ha....

. Maby your blazing to much when your with your friends, try smoking less amounts.

Or maybe your subconcience just latched on to the fact that these friends are compromising your safety and anonimity.

Thanks for the replies...Its not like I dont trust my friends or anything. Maybe I am just smoking way too much, and then I get that feeling that I very stoned and feel like my friends are like WTF im not that stoned why is he...? ha you know

I think i know what you mean. Sometimes i'll be out with my m8s gettin high an having a laugh an that.. Then i just dont really know what to say, so i'll think about what i should say, then i'll think about not having said anything in a while, and by now i just dont know if i should even bother.. So i just sit there in silence for a bit till someone talks to me lol.

my cousin is the same way....he was my hardcore smoking buddy we were always smoking but then one day he had a really bad acid trip and now cant smoke pot cuz that same shit happens to him like u described.

RollTide I know exactly how you feel mate. I was the same about a year and a half after I started smoking properly, (been smoking for about 5/6 years now) I got really paranoid about what I would say or do in-front of everyone, mind was always in overdrive and was constantly feeling awkward around people, especially people I had just met and I became really withdrawn.. I don't know when it happened or how it happened mate but I eventually got over it and now I look back and laugh at myself for being like that lol I couldn say how long exactly it took me to stop spazing out when I smoked but I've been fine for years now so...

I think its just the inner you being challenged, or feeling as if its being challenged to interact with people...I dont know lol but I wouldn't worry too much my friend

i'm like that sometimes too man.. its weird dude. i was perfectly fine the first 2 years i smoke then suddenly i kinda tweeked... now i hate smoking with more than 2 ppl. any more than that.. i get nervous and feel like theres spot light on me. not a good high at all.

i think it's smoking too much... remember, just becuase they pass it to you.. does'nt mean you have to take a hit.

could be the type of weed you're smoking. some weed really does have an edge to it, and i think breading for shear potency is problematic for some smokers. it's kind of like expecting everyoone to want to drink 151 straight all the time. lots of people would rather drink (ugggg) bud light. if you're a grower try growing some strain that is sold as a eupphoric strain, not "the most potent strain known to man, guaranteed to crush the most experienced smoker" type weed.

Man you hit the nail on the head....like You over analyze EVERYTHING. Thats exactly what happens. When Im just drunk or sober, or basically anything but high from pot, I am fine in large groups. Usually in the conversation, and fine at parties. I can meet girls and usually hold a conversation like a normal person. Throw in some bud, and I become the weird kid who isnt saying a word. I just zone out and then when I come back, I fell like its been too long to get in on the convo now, so I sit there ha. Now, I absolutely will not smoke if I am about to go to a party immediately after, but I know alot of people that are like that. What I dont like is me not being under control even with close friends in small groups.

I am glad yall know what Im talking about. I figured everyone would jsut be like "wow look at the pussy that cant handle his high". But yea I am just in my first grow now, and it is nothing special, just 2 seeds that I luckily found in soem nice, smooth smoking dank that I bought one time. I want to let it flower really long, so that it gives me more of a body head rather than a head high. Im thinking that will help me get outta this slump ha.

y'all need some lorazepam lol.....seriously though it stopped my panic and anxiety attacks when i was younger until eventually i didnt need em anymore. plus you'll get a hell of a relaxing buzz from em lol

I dont know what Lorazepam is but my parents always joke and say I need a Ativan bc I get excited/stressed out sometimes. They always joke and say Im too young to have anxiety and high blood pressure, but I always look for their Ativans to see if it would help me out. Next time I find some Xanax I want to try that too. I dont really want them for recreation (athough Im sure I would like them), I just think they might help me out with I get all freaked out like I do sometimes.

EDIT: Apparently Lorazepam and Ativan is the same thing, or atleast very similar. Maybe you are right then ahah.

Yeah you must be alot like me then =P, it only ever happens when im stoned aswell..
Even though im with my mates most the time im smoking, it doesnt always seem like a very social drug.
I definately do over think a lot of things, like sometimes i'll have something to say, and i'll think about what i wanna say an the effect it'll have for so long that i just dont think its a good idea saying it anymore, i don't really know how to explain it lol. But yeh, wierd.

This has been happening to me recently, but usually after a couple blunts. Try to smoke less. Like jfgordon1 said above "just because they pass it to you.. doesn't mean you have to take a hit." Hard advice to follow, though, even for me

that happened to me too in the last year, i dont know why but i felt like that.. like i was over analyzing like you said, even with my close friends i felt like what everyone said was to brag or to show off and stuff... and the thing is even when i said something, i thought "hm the guys must be all thinking right now, ohh hes just showing off" and those type of things..
eventually that feeling disapeared, when i was smoking with my friend in the beach, and our parents werent there so we where really relaxed.. about that time was when i noticed that the strange feeling went away!

I smoke so that I don't have to be prescribed meds for my anxiety and panic attacks. I would rarely suggest to anyone to just jump to meds without first trying to find an alternative to help with the problem. A lot of the time, I really think anxiety problems can be fixed by talking things out (preferably with a trained professional) and trying to find your trigger. I honestly think that we over-medicate and are too quick to slam prescriptions at people to solve the problem. All that really does is help you cope with the problem, not find the solution.

Anyhow, to the OP, when I first started smoking, I was smoking with two people and my boyfriend. I didn't know the two people very well, and when I was high, I used to get this feeling that they were judging me and making fun of me because I'm sure I was stoned out of my mind and they were just buzzed. I basically would feel very unsure of myself, and eventually it just stopped. For me, a large part of it had to do with getting to know them (which in your case isn't the problem) and also seeing them more fucked up than I was. Being more sober than the people you're with can help a lot if you have anxiety about acting weird. Mostly you just have to tell yourself that generally potheads are the most chill and laid back people you will ever be around and they're not there to judge you, and generally love it when you're baked into oblivion. It's about having a good time, as long as you're not too stoned to control bodily functions and are able to handle the high without freaking, then you're never too high.
