I think its definitely hyper awareness I always thought it was paranoia but I was seeing shit my mates weren't, and realised things they didnt, especially when it comes to self, I see so much more about myself, good and bad when I'm high, when I'm sober I think I'm the shit and dont have much thought process before doing things but when high, I can break down my ego more easily, and see a whole range of things I may or may not be doing wrong.
People like us who get paranoid on weed always think our friends are not really our friends. I was smoking with some mates and bc I was high and not enjoying it I laid down near them on the couch and bc no one cared that I might be feeling shitty on the high and they were just talking amongst themselves I assumed they actually don’t like or care about me
@@viperfanaccount688 fck I cut Most Out, And Have Trust issues I don't Know, we were in car people I didn't knew well, They were snapping my pics while I had Blunt and I was like Will U blackmail me later, Hold pics for ransom etc, I haven't Done Pot for over 2years but Paranoia is still there, I don't know Smoking it has Brought up some Anxieties I never knew I had but it's gotten much better!!
My issue is that I become hyperaware of my own body, I feel my heartbeat too much and like there's a pressure in my chest, prevents me from relaxing even though I'm high and my mind just keeps racing about thoughts and regrets regardless...
Invertex thank god I thought I was the only one that felt uncomfortable physically when high. Everyone talks about tingles, numbness and feeling relaxed while high but I feel every little bodily discomfort increase by a thousand. I think it’s because you become hyper aware of your feelings and any tiny discomfort becomes an obsession which needs to be adjusted but never can be.
@@viperfanaccount688 are you using sativa or indica? There are different strains that actually help with anxiety. I have been doing medicinal research and found that something with a 1:1 cbd to thc ratio helps for people who have anxiety. Also higher CBD content can keep you from feeling bad when using cannabis. If you are in a legal state, then your dispensary will have that info. If not, and If you suffer from any kind of anxiety, then maybe medicinal cannabis is the way to go.
GRILL MASTER 😂😂😂👌🏻 that’s literally hilarious “give it a google” give it a go bud you already that’s like well idk but I would say atleast 92% of the worlds population does well take that back actually that percentage I would say only applies for Americans talking the world rather a good 80% (excluding 3rd worlds)(ex. Parts of Africa/India,Haiti) 3rd world in this situation probably isn’t s good term to use Just saying the “not so technologically advanced civilizations in this since”) in my opinion literally google is persons go to for everything any kind of question with Amazon the way it is and online shopping like 98% of most everything starts with a “GIVE IT A GOOGLE” kind of deal.. 😭😂😂 that was the good one.😅👌🏻
I'm guessing this same equation applies while sober? It sorta sounds like me with certain paranoia where it's just me overthinking (though I have A.S. so what I say might be different)
Ur applying something that is an experience to something that has no meaning an event is an event you apply emotion or feeling onto it. weed makes you see things more clearly but your paranoid thoughts ruin the hyperawarness its a sad thing that you can't escape.
Hyper awareness is a positive spin to paranoia which I disagree with. Because a lot of the thoughts we get while high on weed are simply not true. For example the infamous “they know I’m high”. In reality: No they don’t and They’re not even thinking about you.
I, a certified pressure washer, would agree with you that superficial “hyper awareness” is probably actually paranoia, but at the same time there is a much different grounded “knowing” feeling to some other situations that makes me feel like it is something different than the paranoia. Of course I don’t know that it’s hypersensitivity, but it sure feels different. I also feel like it causes patterns to become much more prominent. Some people jump to high conclusions about these patterns, but I’m convinced that it seems to intensify the ability to “see” things, and then we are high so we come up with always creative, not always positive or true, rationalizations for these perceptions. This is from 6 months of Guinea pigging marij with myself alongside a structured inward looking and across multiple active and non active environments. But I’m just a pressure washer so don’t take my word for it. More study needs to be done with brain scans and long term cohort studies
@@zachhubbard4458 it can be both. Not all our thoughts are our own either. Sometimes if you're balls deep into a weed high and in a poor environment, spirits will put ideas and possibilities into your mind to mess with you. Big reason why so many cultures engaged in rituals and cultivated a sacred space before using substances. It could be paranoia or hyper awareness, its a matter of thinking critically and scrutinizing these negative thoughts as they arise
Doing shrooms unfortunately changed my experience with weed.. changed my experience being sober.. learning to live with hyper awareness (questioning everything, even this comment, is my typing worth it? Will it reach someone?) lol lifes a journey yall theres a lesson in everything for everyone.. cheers 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@Khanate Archer same homie. One thing about my hyper awareness is that it makes me feel like a robot. This is worse when I take psychedelics. I am hyper aware of the masks we wear unconsciously that dictate how we act. From my perspective it looks like everyone has a unique personality and way of acting and manifesting and they are doing it unconsciously. In contrast, I feel like im too conscious and have to analyze and second guess my every act from how im going to say something to how fast im breathing.
Paranoia is a survival instinct instilled in us thru thousands of years of evolution. If you're in the jungle it's better to assume that the noise you just heard is dangerous rather than something not harmful. The trouble is that in our modern world we don't really have that many physical dangers to worry about, which results in the high mind thinking things threaten us when really it's just an over-reaction (so-and-so must be talking about ME right now, etc.) The human mind is an amazing machine, but most people would do well to ignore their paranoia, especially when brought on by smoking. Just let it ride and have a good time, no need to get worked up over nothing.
As an avid smoker i totally thought it was paranoia, but being exposed to the term "hyper awareness" to describe the feeling i got is 100% a better term and is more in tune with the reality of what was going thru my mind
Not I, hyperawareness and paranoia are 2 different things. I can be hyperaware and not paranoid, a state of elevated awareness doesn't have to be fear producing. Paranoia is inspired by fearful thinking
This is a classic example of Clarks anxiety model. You are afraid your heart rate is going to increase, so you become anxious, which increases your heart rate, then you check and find that your rate has increased, which makes you more anxious, which further increases your heart rate. The cycle repeats.
Yeah weed does raise your heart rate a little bit but it's not dangerous. The problem isn't your heart rate, it's your hyper awareness to your heart rate. When you go for a jog your heart rate accelerates as well. It doesnt bother you though right? Reason being is that your heart rate being sped up isn't the problem. It's your perception of your heart rate that is the problem. Calm your mind, eat some food and get rid of the high, go for a run, take a shower, etc. It's not about slowing your heart, it's about slowing your mind.
First few times I smoked weed I was fine. Around the 3rd or 4th time I freaked out and my heart beat super fast and I thought I was dying. Same thing would happen every time after. I learned to talk myself down after 3 or 4 times of experiencing it. After about 10 sessions it stopped being an issue, and after like 6 months I stopped worrying about it whatsoever. I also never had the issue with edibles, so I would suggest trying those
Imagine if we never die? Than,we would absolutely be panicking! Death is the only true liberation that we can count on and when I say “death” I only mean the illusion of death, just as the illusion of Time and Space,which is also completely necessary,, damn I’m seriously stoned!
@Khanate Archer They're just not aware of the effects. It took me years to become aware of all the mental and physiological effects that weed has. People think it expands consciousness when it actually decreases ALL cognitive functions. Just get into the science. Everything is gonna make sense and you'll see that chronic stoners are just incredibly unaware of their own consciousness and how it changes when being "high". Some are so regularly high they even think their state is normal. They try to find trippy justifications but their reasoning is mostly the direct opposite of what's really going on in their brains and bodies. I smoked for 10 years. I'm incredibly grateful to myself that I stopped. You're on a good way. Becoming aware of the actual effects is the first step to getting free of that stuff.
Hyper awareness. If you think its paranoia you're missing out. There's a fine line between being intune with your surroundings on a deeper level and being paranoid and about to green out.
I would disagree been smoking 16 years now off and on mostly on heavily and certain strainds and chems not being flushed from weed as well as my tolerance at the time play a role in paranoia which i would describe as more lke anxiety because i believe i am allergic to the chems that are not flushed out properly i never had problems with the old brick shit.
First time I had a paranoia attack was absolutely terrifying and can only be described as I thought I was dying. The second time it happened was no where near as bad but it I was able to control it more and literally keep telling myself it's ok, you're just paranoid etc. Although I still thought this guy was going to kill me walking through my hometown 😅
@@wecanttrustanygovernmenttb3352 I had a way worse experience as of recent with it. Similar to the first time, pure panic and terror. I think it has something to do with the people around me influencing my feelings at the time. Like when people around me panic and make me paranoid that's when I spiral out of control. I'd be super interested in trying to smoke weed on my own with nobody around just to see how I'd feel then because after my horrible episode during the last time it happened, once everyone around me saw the light of the situation and stopped panicking , so did I and it was an intense feeling of happiness and bliss
In the right headspace, on the right dosage, everything in nature comes into hyperfocus. Sounds become clearer. Colors become brighter. THC is definitely a psychadelic.
I started taking edibles since 2020. I always took the least mg (5) and i get high but am still aware of my actions. Over the year, i tried 2 pieces. It felt normal and passed, or so i thought. After my nap, i timed it and it lasted 6 hours. I woke up fine, decided to go out but then i was suddenly hit with this anxiety and paranoia like why am i driving? My perception of time was so slow! I did started panicking and parked at a supermarket and tried to calm myself. I was just freaking out for no apparent reason! It was so unlike me
Some of the paranoia I’ve experienced while high can only be described as sheer terror! The feeling that all we are is thoughts, thoughts that we don’t have control of…. Thoughts that come from where? I go down a deep dark whole and even have thoughts of suicide, thinking of how hard much work it is to control your thoughts. and how our brains are just fluid and cells. And that makes me realize how fortunate I am to have my sane mind. Sharing this in case anyone else has been through something similar… you’re not alone *breathe*
@@lucabaki life is literally crazy and you’re crazy if you take life seriously. living and experiencing life on this earth is supposed to be a beautiful thing, and unnecessary suffering is the root of all pain that we as humans experience in any given lifetime of our conscience. stop overthinking everything in life and smoke some weed, and stop taking life so serious whoever is reading this. love yourself first and love others after, and remember to let go of things out of your control.
I love when Joe does his, "we're on a spinning ball floating through infinity" bit to people who haven't heard it before. these guys were genuinely entertained. lol
I think 7 out of 10 people experience actual and real paranoia. Hyper awareness means that there’s a reason to whatever someone is being aware of. But some people just freak out about things that don’t have any possibility of happening. Weed is not for everyone and you really have to have the skill of being introspective. So you can then have more control over yourself which leads to you having the ability to function normally on weed.
@@PaKuaKwon Reality is only reality as it's observer...quantam physics proves it. Perhaps marijuana was giving a glimpse of the eternal but has been negatively connotated due to our lack of understanding of these states of consciousness. I do agree though, it is intense and unmanageable for some. Take it slow, respect the plant. Have a positive mindset and it can be a great relationship.
I used to be able to smoke a bunch and not have any negative side effects. except when I was not in the right setting or mine state to get high. but for the most part I was pretty solid but throughout the years of getting older having a child and a full-time job I just can't do it anymore. then again I also think I'm a person who doesn't necessarily need it either. I'm already a person who can feel happiness and peace sober. I really think this type of medication is for people who have issues with being content
usually when I eat too much carbs it makes me more anxious and even depressed I feel like if you have a well-balanced diet and exercise and also consume the right amount " your own definition " of CBD and THC ratio should be smooth sailing from there.
I been smoking for twenty years, I'm 33 now. I can barely take 2 rips of this newer potent ass weed, any more than that and I become very uncomfortable and have to literally walk it off, like go outside and walk around it's so weird. Then after my initial freakout I can go back to the pipe and rip another couple of hits and I'm good, it's like going swimming for me now I have to start shallow and get used to it then I can get in the deep end.
joe is right in highlighting how we should treat totally different the weed we smoke and the week we eat. I dont understand why countries legalized both versions at the same time. It is not the same drug
I feel like when I’m high a get a higher level of perception and I’m able to properly evaluate every little social que but it confuses me because ‘am I experiencing a higher level of comprehension or am I just manually picking up on social ques that I would otherwise just unconsciously interpret.’
It's all paranoia and its all bollocks. THC lowers all cognitive functions. It's a scientific fact. When you have a stupid thought being high just makes you think you're having a great thought. The problem is most stoners are not aware of the actual effects weed has psychologically and physiological. Get into the science. Things will clear up.
Not true, weed CAN make you think in a way you never thought sober, which CAN FOR SURE open your eyes like... sometimes cars drive FAST with NO LIGHTS... I should not rely on headlight to know if a car is coming when it's night time.
It heightens all your senses this is why musicians are so great. Most smoke. Sounds colors everything is heighten so if you are already depressed your bound to feel it.
It's definitely both. You can be so high that you think the person knocking on your door is a stranger even though your friend said he would be there in 5 minutes and there's nothing to be concerned about. Or you can be so high that your ego takes a backseat and all the important questions and feelings your conscience has been dying to express come to the forefront, for better or worse.
Alessandro Friche so everybody should just do drugs then? Ik somebody whos a homeless orphan and our high school took him in. Cleanest and most kind person i have ever met.
It's definitely a bit of both. Sometimes I do some valuable self reflection and sometimes im scared shitless that someones out to get me in a way that makes no sense
I don't get high, unless you count adrenaline or the rush you get from fishing or hunting or going as fast as you can on a banshee. Adrenaline definitely gives me hyper awareness, with adrenaline for me comes a fear that I love as well. I think that fear creates my hyper awareness.
I truly believe it's hypersensitivity.. anytime I eat edibles I look at the world especially recently and just look at this world and go wtf is going on. Weed makes me more sensitive as well.
100% agree man, people call me paranoid but NOTHING terrible has ever happened to me(besides a nasty tree kiss with a truck) and I don’t let “paranoia” bother me...
Bruh, are we all living the same lives? I started smoking pot when I was 18 and when I turned 21 and could legally buy it. I used it originally for working out and making music which was fucking amazing, but once covid happened I was just sat in my room all day with my weed so I'd just smoke it and get super anxious about how the world was going to end, or that covid was going to kill me, that I was going to have a heart attack from panicking, or that I was about to become a schizophrenic because I felt like reality was about to rip apart (I was tripping frequently on acid shortly before covid). It took me until I was 22 to kick it because I just loved it so much for making all the pleasurable senses I had so much more amazing than they were, but at the same time it amplified all the shitty experiences too. I still miss it though. Just watching these videos with 3 joints I bought from a pot shop debating whether or not to smoke one. I've been an alcoholic before and I used to smoke a lot of cigarettes and vape so now that I don't have anything, and it's been 2 years since I last smoked I'm wondering if things have changed.
Best thing to do when you focus on ur heartbeat is tell urself that it’s just in ur head and turn on some cold water and put ur hands in it. Focus on how cold the water is and That usually helps within 5 minutes.
Sushi Trash if it’s alcohol it’s because you overloaded your Gaba levels and coming off of that tilts the teeter totter from really calm and mellow to anxious and fearful
I’m an anxious person and can take 1,000 mg edible and feel great and not freak out. The human body is different for everyone and everyone reacts differently so I don’t agree with that young doctor saying he dosnt think an anxious person can handle it I don’t think it’s that black and white
"Oh my psyche changed!"... more like "If i am different now, who was I before and will I ever be the same? Is there a same? Is this inevitability of forever change, but what changes? What stays the same? What if I die? What if I am already dead? What if they killed me and are laughing at me? Why did I take this? Did it make me better or worse? Who is me? Do I have any control?..."
My first time smoking weed was in grade school and it wasn't a paranoid event I actually enjoyed it couldn't stop laughing it was until I left to high school that weed made me feel paranoid and it changed my life for the worst I couldn't figure why smoking weed wasn't fun any more and I believe that it mentally messed me up I became paranoid all through high school and became socially awkward till this day I'm in my 50s now I stopped smoking in the late 80s and I'm still suffering because of it
Great topic !!! finally !! I've been using cannibue since a kid I recently quit and moved to CBD oil because of the new fuckin strains you don't even know what's inside of these new Craigslist kushes or Cherry dosie etc.. you have the platform to discuss alott more of the negative affects now a days that back in the day didn't happen . Like having reg. Blueberry hydro or haze ir even a cheap regular . Now firgettabouttt it .. this a a great topic that u need to discuss more as a regular viewer and someone like me quitting after 19 yrs. Also CBD s BOOMinG Secret. Thanks.
Hyperawareness can cause paranoia, especially when it's all negative. Also, handling that hyperawareness can lead to 'paranoia', if you can't let go of your normal state of being or accept things as they are. If you get dry mouth, so what? That is least of my human life problems, but for some people it can cause real anxiety. It is also vital to know how to stop narrative you are telling yourself, and not to idetify with your altered state thoughts
I'm not fearful but weed makes me feel bad. Ever since weed became legalized it's been different. There's something called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome which has been happening a lot more to people since weed became legal. I truly think there's something going on with the weed nowadays.
I have never done shrooms or any psychedelic but they have always been my nightmare. But I do smoke extremely strong medicinal pot. So this comment makes me wonder.
I've always said my paranoia has stopped me from some fun times but it has stopped me from alot more bad times. It's one thing when I wake up tired cause I'm already invested that bad is coming and I want that to change but it's another thing when I know how people are and I know how I am and when the 2 shouldn't mix. I've done more than most who know of me would think and same time not as much yet the same people or friends that have did types of things I do have had to change or trouble . For instance if we're drunk in public which is always risky be quite and do what you gotta do and go or be loud and be noticed and watched. From my looks girl's have always been attracted to me and guys have always wanted to test me and as much as I love girls and am not scarred of any man I know that gets unwanted attention so I keep to myself till I'm in a situation it's ok to be noticed
Calling paranoia "hyper awareness" is like calling a coma "hyper self-restraint". However, this kind of reasoning is completely predictable with stoners. Consuming weed makes people think they're smart when they're stupid. Makes people think they're aware when they're completely numb, makes them think they're focused when their minds are completely reactive. It makes people think they're relaxed when their body is physiologically measurably stressed. Weed makes people think they're social when they're disengaged, makes people content with being passive, weak and easily manipulated. GETS PEOPLE HOOKED for NO LOGICAL REASON and I haven't heard one good reason in 10 years of having smoked weed myself and being around hundreds of stoners in all those years. People make up justifications but they're mostly bad, unreasonable and often the complete opposite of what is actually going on. I was guilty of that myself. Weed creates a physiological response in the respiratory system and consequently the entire body that resembles dysfunction, stress and anxiety. These effects are physiological! Synapses in the brain literally close off communication between nerve cells in the brain. Maybe that's why people take years to even become aware of these physiological effects. Weed makes people think their consciousness expands when in fact it does the opposite. Stoners think weed is this great wonderful medicinal plant when pain relief is really the ONLY measurable upside and in reality weed causes lasting brain damage, memory shortage, decreased cognitive function, infertility, low testosterone (which constitutes many medical situations for men, such as higher chance of getting a heart attack, higher stress levels etc.). Weed consumption also leads to all kinds of respiratory situations and much more commonly than people are aware of even psychiatric disease. Become self-aware, aware of your own conscious state and aware of others when they're high. Learn the science and you'll see that everything written above is accurate.
Hey @Holy Rollin' Moly, I completely agree with what you said. I just wanted to share something I felt recently and would like to understand what your view is on this subject. I am in college and was walking home through the streets when I started to think about humans and our relationships. I thought of our animalistic instincts towards food, water, shelter and sex. Thought of the weirdness of buildings and judged how uncomfortable the architecture around had made me feel. I was in a house and how shady the place I was walking at had been. I kid you not I thought of human beings and just where we are and I cannot see anyone the same ever again. I think that is the kind of hyper awareness they are talking about. The one that makes you questions peoples motives at the core. Honestly, only talking to my mom helped me get out of that loop of thought momentarily. I find myself judging peoples motives conveyed through their behaviour and it is sad sometimes. I am currently just trying to focus that we are complex as humans, which reflects in our thoughts. I am not going to lie I find it difficult to convince myself so nowadays.
I think it's a psychedelic from a certain point of view, especially by yourself in a secluded/isolated area. I live in the deep rural south and back when my tolerance was really low i took a few bong rips in the woods across from my house by a bayou just chilling against a tree and watching the water. Man that shit took me to some weird places in my head. I definitely consider it a very light trip.
I am stoned whilst watching this and after hearing joe talk about how we are moving in space that quickly I’m terrified I really think at some point the earth will fall in space I was so chilled out now I’m sweating thinking about it
Today @12pm I head over to some friends house and took hit for the first time and the next three hours of the day, had me near pissing myself. Looking back on it, that shit was funny asf but no way in hell I'm gonna through that again. The hyperawareness I had was just that time was sort of looping for me and when I observed my friend's reactions to the way I was acting, I couldn't help but be a bit paranoid. First I started thinking they gave me something bad cuz one of them seemed stressed out. Second with the time loops I'm experiencing, it felt like I was barely in control of my self and and clearly see myself dying to a really stupid accident of me (the nerd) just trying to loosen up and be like my friends, then somehow dying to some dumb fuck up like a overdosing or something. (and the only I smoked was weed... I think). Lastly tlmy friends were going off about how others just acted a bit stupid and laughed it off. But I was not laughing and this shit was starting to scare me. Eventually I took a breather and try to get myself and all my friends to relax but during that time it felt like my heart stopped. So my paranoia sets back in and I immediately want a hospital. I somehow recovered my composure and kinda laughed it off with my friends and got them to let me go home. On my way home though, I swear I could feel my walking affecting my heart rate (like the pulse in my leg matching the beats in my chest). And so my paranoia started going into overdrive. I started straight up thinking I need to keep my heart rate steady. Not too fast or it might give out and not too slow to make it stop again. When I got home none of my family noticed anything wrong with me until I started asking for an abulance. In the end when everyone found out I was high but I felt there was something off, I got my lectures (though I was too high to give a shit and was focused on not dying) and was told to drink some water and get in bed for a while. Not gonna lie, the experience itself was just horrific. It's 2am and I'm still shaking right now.
@@Accelerat270 just that one time. I think I had an hallucination when It happened cuz I saw some some weird shit when before I got back up lol. I just don't wanna say it.
We are a small percentage of the population that experiences bad reactions to Marijuana and it makes me envy of others who can smoke and chill 😎 but for us it's the worst feeling in the world Truth be Told I would rather get hit by a bus than smoking that again good riddance
God this is so relatable man. When I get high I feel like I have to fight in order to stay alive or stay sane, like I’m constantly struggling to stay afloat in water. For you it was walking to keep your heart rate normal and for me I felt like I had to fake laugh every 5 seconds or so because it would reset the looping I was experiencing.
Weed is good for relaxing and enjoying if you know how to use it. Taking a few breathes before or during your sesh. And then finding ways to distance yourself from your overthinking.
Im hyper aware and it sucks cuz its turning into like beginning stages of psychosis ( i know what this means don’t say “don’t talk about something you don’t understand”) i have conversations in my mind with myself about a possible future scenarios, i don’t trust anyone at all and I’ve implanted it so much in my head that all i think about is how i never will have that trust with someone, but step up to me and ill smile in your face and say whats up and act like i know im not going crazy and im just normal☹️i love to let people think there getting away with subliminal disses towards me just thinkin that they think I’m dumb fascinates me and I’m always staring at everything and i mean everything if u even moved ur head towards me, or if u do any movement around me ill see it in my peripherals and focus on everything else around me while only staring straight
@@gottabecajuste i mean its still there but i loki got over by thinking that i gotta take care of my family no matter what so i gotta get a good job to buy whatever we need but not give em money so they dont use me, and ive been finding people who like what they do cuz everyone else likes to find people who will give em money food or weed, i figured im just a real person if that makes sense like an OG finding out what to do thatll make money is hard tho
Any updates bro ? I’ve started to have the same issues where I notice all the subliminal disses when speaking with people I call friends & Ive even caught multiple people talking about me negatively when they think I can’t hear them & subliminal social media posts. Its honestly been going on for some years now & i’ve just distanced myself from people & when i do come across familiar faces i play the fool they think i am but it’s starting to get old quick.
@@finesse9892 & same thing with the noticing how people act around me, the faces they make when certain lyrics play during a song, or someone will look at me when they see something they think defines me
Reminds me of this girl that my friends and i got to smoke for her first time. We thought she'd have a great time... Boy were we wrong... Ive never seen someone not handle the time morph so badly from that first hit. Needless to say she had a horrible time and was very paranoid. Dont think she talked to me much after that haha.
Was in the dam 2yr ago my brothers stag do and yea we wanted a smoke but same time first hour getting their and it being a stag it was beer time but his brother in law didn't drink but wanted a smoke fair enough we got him in somewhere he got a toke and...iv never seen the color drain so fast from a persons face he was chalk white lol I thought shit not gd! Ran out got him 2 cans red bull seemed bit better dragged him into mcds got him a big Mac and he was cured color came flooding back and it was time to party again! Lol
I suffer from it. I have the exact same feeling whenever I watch gore videos. The cruelty and the way a life can end in just seconds just takes me back to that rabbit hole.
as soon as i smoke it becomes clear that everyone and myself are living life like robotic animals with half the brain blocking out most the stuff you are seeing, thinking and hearing. Weed completely lifts that brain blocking for me and I see everything for how it is.. and it is scary. Its not an easy thing to handle.. drinking alcohol after the paranoia kicks in though does gradually bring it to a neutral zone and enjoyable
Im better high alone in todays competition of ego . Havent been high in ages. Do it with what you love and you will have a greater passion for it. Be it music or sports it even a small hobby
It's funny how once you go high, logic thinking flyes out the window. Then when you sober up, your like: "Why the fuck did I even think like that?". For instance, you get high, you see random guy from a far and your all like "omg, he can see that im high". Then you sober up and say to yourself: "How the fuck would that guy see that im high? Its impossible".
these are early stoner thoughts, once you become a true stoner you realize you only look stoned if you act stoned, once you become an enlightened stoner you only smoke to think about love and connection
"Paranoia or Hyperawareness?" my paranonia was completely eradicated when growing became legal in the state. hyperawareness, try peyote then tell me what you seen/heard ..
idk. i think it's paranoia. when i use to smoke and sit and chill and play video games i always would turn around occasionally and look behind me because i felt like something was there. and i would turn around a lot of times, just to check. always had that feeling. why would i do that? thats paranoia not hyperawareness. although mentally i do think i am hyper aware when on marijuana my thoughts are supercharged and i think thoughts i normally wouldnt sober.
@@alexkanehbosm4082 that's what it feels like. as if something were behind you lol. not spooky, but something that makes you want to turn around and check. why would i have that strong feeling when chilling and gaming? i dont do that when sober lol only when im high. weed can definitely give you paranoia
I lacked empathy completely before I smoked weed, but after a year smoking I started experiencing it and it freaked me the fuck out. I valued no one's life or pain so who knows what I would of ended up as an adult if not for weed, thanku cannabis
By accident at the age of 6 I took edible pot in form of sweet and after 30 minutes my heart was beating so fast that I felt it will explode my brain, the area near heart was starting to pain, burning and tingling sensation a lot , I was so scared that I felt That I will die, felt dizziness and no controls on my body, the heart felt like it will collapse but after 4 hours Everything got ok. At that time it feels like I met death and came back😓
Being such a young age 6 and the high potency of thc in the eatibles you consumed would have made your experience really bad. But I highly doubt it would have been fatal have you ever smoked weed during your adult life if so how was your experience now.
I suffer from hyper awareness. I say suffer because it alters a lot. You become aware that EVERYONE has an agenda

SamStam12 That might be true. What you see in others is probably in you also otherwise you couldn’t see it. Empathy.
When i get high I get really good at judging if a movie actor is good or not. You can see the fake in them quite Easy if they are bad at Their job
This is why I stopped watching television while high, i can’t get over the production side of it lol
I think your just not oblivious to movies
For real I had to shut off so many movies from horrible acting I would not have noticed
Wtf are you talking about
yeah true i noticed that in harold and kumar, harold the chinese guy is kind of a bad actor while kumar the indian guy looks natural
I think its definitely hyper awareness I always thought it was paranoia but I was seeing shit my mates weren't, and realised things they didnt, especially when it comes to self, I see so much more about myself, good and bad when I'm high, when I'm sober I think I'm the shit and dont have much thought process before doing things but when high, I can break down my ego more easily, and see a whole range of things I may or may not be doing wrong.
Tomas Fawcett 💯 spot on
Tomas Fawcett I’m the exact same way
It reveals one to itself
exactly
Couldn’t have Said that any better
Every time I get high I realize everyone’s laughing at me and not with me... but sober I just think my shits hilarious!
People like us who get paranoid on weed always think our friends are not really our friends. I was smoking with some mates and bc I was high and not enjoying it I laid down near them on the couch and bc no one cared that I might be feeling shitty on the high and they were just talking amongst themselves I assumed they actually don’t like or care about me

My issue is that I become hyperaware of my own body, I feel my heartbeat too much and like there's a pressure in my chest, prevents me from relaxing even though I'm high and my mind just keeps racing about thoughts and regrets regardless...
Invertex thank god I thought I was the only one that felt uncomfortable physically when high. Everyone talks about tingles, numbness and feeling relaxed while high but I feel every little bodily discomfort increase by a thousand. I think it’s because you become hyper aware of your feelings and any tiny discomfort becomes an obsession which needs to be adjusted but never can be.
That just sounds like anxiety lol
@@viperfanaccount688 I was fine for 8 years and then I started experiencing this
Spectrum UK ^ ditto
@@viperfanaccount688 are you using sativa or indica? There are different strains that actually help with anxiety. I have been doing medicinal research and found that something with a 1:1 cbd to thc ratio helps for people who have anxiety. Also higher CBD content can keep you from feeling bad when using cannabis. If you are in a legal state, then your dispensary will have that info. If not, and If you suffer from any kind of anxiety, then maybe medicinal cannabis is the way to go.

SOE that’s what you get for thinking✌️
Justin Uptmor seriously with the Manson BS?
Fear+Hyper Awareness= Paranoia.
It is not what the substance or its experience does to you, it is also what you add into the experience.
I'm guessing this same equation applies while sober? It sorta sounds like me with certain paranoia where it's just me overthinking (though I have A.S. so what I say might be different)
Ur applying something that is an experience to something that has no meaning an event is an event you apply emotion or feeling onto it. weed makes you see things more clearly but your paranoid thoughts ruin the hyperawarness its a sad thing that you can't escape.
Mate: “I think the neighbours will call the cops because they can smell the smoke from their balcony.”
Me: “You’re too hyperaware brah.”
Neighbors: “You think the neighbors are going to call the cops because they can smell the smoke from their balcony.”
I was thinking that yesterday
Valid concern
That’s not hyperawareness
But the thing is, you can't let fear control you. Once fear control's you, you stop living your best life.
Fear is the worst enemy in the world!!!
Hyper awareness is a positive spin to paranoia which I disagree with. Because a lot of the thoughts we get while high on weed are simply not true. For example the infamous “they know I’m high”. In reality: No they don’t and They’re not even thinking about you.
So true!!!!
I, a certified pressure washer, would agree with you that superficial “hyper awareness” is probably actually paranoia, but at the same time there is a much different grounded “knowing” feeling to some other situations that makes me feel like it is something different than the paranoia. Of course I don’t know that it’s hypersensitivity, but it sure feels different. I also feel like it causes patterns to become much more prominent. Some people jump to high conclusions about these patterns, but I’m convinced that it seems to intensify the ability to “see” things, and then we are high so we come up with always creative, not always positive or true, rationalizations for these perceptions. This is from 6 months of Guinea pigging marij with myself alongside a structured inward looking and across multiple active and non active environments. But I’m just a pressure washer so don’t take my word for it. More study needs to be done with brain scans and long term cohort studies
That’s not true if they know you’re supposed to be sober snd you’re high- the guilt!- it’s damn near impossible to hide from one who you respect
@@zachhubbard4458 it can be both.
Not all our thoughts are our own either.
Sometimes if you're balls deep into a weed high and in a poor environment, spirits will put ideas and possibilities into your mind to mess with you.
Big reason why so many cultures engaged in rituals and cultivated a sacred space before using substances.
It could be paranoia or hyper awareness, its a matter of thinking critically and scrutinizing these negative thoughts as they arise
Doing shrooms unfortunately changed my experience with weed.. changed my experience being sober.. learning to live with hyper awareness (questioning everything, even this comment, is my typing worth it? Will it reach someone?) lol lifes a journey yall theres a lesson in everything for everyone.. cheers 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Peace brotha
@Khanate Archer same homie. One thing about my hyper awareness is that it makes me feel like a robot. This is worse when I take psychedelics. I am hyper aware of the masks we wear unconsciously that dictate how we act. From my perspective it looks like everyone has a unique personality and way of acting and manifesting and they are doing it unconsciously. In contrast, I feel like im too conscious and have to analyze and second guess my every act from how im going to say something to how fast im breathing.
What about an overthinking mind + shrooms?
Yeah it fucked weed up for me. Yet I’m still addicted to weed, I can’t get myself to quit. Then it hits me like a freight train.
Paranoia is a survival instinct instilled in us thru thousands of years of evolution. If you're in the jungle it's better to assume that the noise you just heard is dangerous rather than something not harmful. The trouble is that in our modern world we don't really have that many physical dangers to worry about, which results in the high mind thinking things threaten us when really it's just an over-reaction (so-and-so must be talking about ME right now, etc.) The human mind is an amazing machine, but most people would do well to ignore their paranoia, especially when brought on by smoking. Just let it ride and have a good time, no need to get worked up over nothing.
We should smoke together
@@Jasmine-ue9rm down
Kendall Monnett brother did atleast do her good??
Not all of us can just "ignore it"
As an avid smoker i totally thought it was paranoia, but being exposed to the term "hyper awareness" to describe the feeling i got is 100% a better term and is more in tune with the reality of what was going thru my mind
Not I, hyperawareness and paranoia are 2 different things. I can be hyperaware and not paranoid, a state of elevated awareness doesn't have to be fear producing. Paranoia is inspired by fearful thinking
Weed just causes my heart to beat incredibly fast and that's what gets me. Anyone else?
@Dank Dank To be fair, same shit happens to me but I know its beating faster cus I have a fitbit which measures my heartrate
This is a classic example of Clarks anxiety model. You are afraid your heart rate is going to increase, so you become anxious, which increases your heart rate, then you check and find that your rate has increased, which makes you more anxious, which further increases your heart rate. The cycle repeats.
Yeah weed does raise your heart rate a little bit but it's not dangerous. The problem isn't your heart rate, it's your hyper awareness to your heart rate. When you go for a jog your heart rate accelerates as well. It doesnt bother you though right? Reason being is that your heart rate being sped up isn't the problem. It's your perception of your heart rate that is the problem. Calm your mind, eat some food and get rid of the high, go for a run, take a shower, etc. It's not about slowing your heart, it's about slowing your mind.
@@HalfEatenMushroom Thanks man, You learn something new everyday I guess.
First few times I smoked weed I was fine. Around the 3rd or 4th time I freaked out and my heart beat super fast and I thought I was dying. Same thing would happen every time after. I learned to talk myself down after 3 or 4 times of experiencing it. After about 10 sessions it stopped being an issue, and after like 6 months I stopped worrying about it whatsoever.
I also never had the issue with edibles, so I would suggest trying those
Imagine if we never die? Than,we would absolutely be panicking! Death is the only true liberation that we can count on and when I say “death” I only mean the illusion of death, just as the illusion of Time and Space,which is also completely necessary,, damn I’m seriously stoned!

I agree on marijuana being a psychadelic, but I do think if your mental/bodily awareness level is too low you don't get the same effects.
that’s why some are blessed to know how to feel that part of energy
@Khanate Archer They're just not aware of the effects. It took me years to become aware of all the mental and physiological effects that weed has. People think it expands consciousness when it actually decreases ALL cognitive functions. Just get into the science. Everything is gonna make sense and you'll see that chronic stoners are just incredibly unaware of their own consciousness and how it changes when being "high". Some are so regularly high they even think their state is normal. They try to find trippy justifications but their reasoning is mostly the direct opposite of what's really going on in their brains and bodies. I smoked for 10 years. I'm incredibly grateful to myself that I stopped.
You're on a good way. Becoming aware of the actual effects is the first step to getting free of that stuff.

Hyper awareness. If you think its paranoia you're missing out. There's a fine line between being intune with your surroundings on a deeper level and being paranoid and about to green out.
I would disagree been smoking 16 years now off and on mostly on heavily and certain strainds and chems not being flushed from weed as well as my tolerance at the time play a role in paranoia which i would describe as more lke anxiety because i believe i am allergic to the chems that are not flushed out properly i never had problems with the old brick shit.

First time I had a paranoia attack was absolutely terrifying and can only be described as I thought I was dying. The second time it happened was no where near as bad but it I was able to control it more and literally keep telling myself it's ok, you're just paranoid etc. Although I still thought this guy was going to kill me walking through my hometown 😅
@@wecanttrustanygovernmenttb3352 I had a way worse experience as of recent with it. Similar to the first time, pure panic and terror. I think it has something to do with the people around me influencing my feelings at the time. Like when people around me panic and make me paranoid that's when I spiral out of control. I'd be super interested in trying to smoke weed on my own with nobody around just to see how I'd feel then because after my horrible episode during the last time it happened, once everyone around me saw the light of the situation and stopped panicking , so did I and it was an intense feeling of happiness and bliss
That’s called a panic/anxiety attack
In the right headspace, on the right dosage, everything in nature comes into hyperfocus. Sounds become clearer. Colors become brighter. THC is definitely a psychadelic.
Interesting way to look at it. Thank you
I started taking edibles since 2020. I always took the least mg (5) and i get high but am still aware of my actions. Over the year, i tried 2 pieces. It felt normal and passed, or so i thought. After my nap, i timed it and it lasted 6 hours. I woke up fine, decided to go out but then i was suddenly hit with this anxiety and paranoia like why am i driving? My perception of time was so slow! I did started panicking and parked at a supermarket and tried to calm myself. I was just freaking out for no apparent reason! It was so unlike me
Joe, it would be awesome to see you make a guided meditation series with an app like calm or something similar.
Some of the paranoia I’ve experienced while high can only be described as sheer terror! The feeling that all we are is thoughts, thoughts that we don’t have control of…. Thoughts that come from where?
I go down a deep dark whole and even have thoughts of suicide, thinking of how hard much work it is to control your thoughts. and how our brains are just fluid and cells.
And that makes me realize how fortunate I am to have my sane mind. Sharing this in case anyone else has been through something similar… you’re not alone *breathe*

I think 7 out of 10 people experience actual and real paranoia. Hyper awareness means that there’s a reason to whatever someone is being aware of. But some people just freak out about things that don’t have any possibility of happening. Weed is not for everyone and you really have to have the skill of being introspective. So you can then have more control over yourself which leads to you having the ability to function normally on weed.

Words of wisdom
I used to be able to smoke a bunch and not have any negative side effects. except when I was not in the right setting or mine state to get high. but for the most part I was pretty solid but throughout the years of getting older having a child and a full-time job I just can't do it anymore. then again I also think I'm a person who doesn't necessarily need it either. I'm already a person who can feel happiness and peace sober. I really think this type of medication is for people who have issues with being content
Wow, joe just helped me with this one. Goat
usually when I eat too much carbs it makes me more anxious and even depressed I feel like if you have a well-balanced diet and exercise and also consume the right amount " your own definition " of CBD and THC ratio should be smooth sailing from there.
Fast for a few days and experience the difference!
I been smoking for twenty years, I'm 33 now. I can barely take 2 rips of this newer potent ass weed, any more than that and I become very uncomfortable and have to literally walk it off, like go outside and walk around it's so weird. Then after my initial freakout I can go back to the pipe and rip another couple of hits and I'm good, it's like going swimming for me now I have to start shallow and get used to it then I can get in the deep end.
Best comment
joe is right in highlighting how we should treat totally different the weed we smoke and the week we eat. I dont understand why countries legalized both versions at the same time. It is not the same drug
In the end it's just not worth it.. sometimes thinking too deep is not good for you.
I feel like when I’m high a get a higher level of perception and I’m able to properly evaluate every little social que but it confuses me because ‘am I experiencing a higher level of comprehension or am I just manually picking up on social ques that I would otherwise just unconsciously interpret.’
When smoking weed I listen to Rogans Podcast then it makes me Fly AF. 😆😆
Some of it is paranoia and some of it ain't. Weed opens your brain to new ways of thinking, some of these thoughts are inspired and some are bollocks.
It's all paranoia and its all bollocks. THC lowers all cognitive functions. It's a scientific fact. When you have a stupid thought being high just makes you think you're having a great thought. The problem is most stoners are not aware of the actual effects weed has psychologically and physiological. Get into the science. Things will clear up.
Not true, weed CAN make you think in a way you never thought sober, which CAN FOR SURE open your eyes like... sometimes cars drive FAST with NO LIGHTS... I should not rely on headlight to know if a car is coming when it's night time.

You can be so high that you think the person knocking on your door is a stranger even though your friend said he would be there in 5 minutes and there's nothing to be concerned about.

I don't get high, unless you count adrenaline or the rush you get from fishing or hunting or going as fast as you can on a banshee. Adrenaline definitely gives me hyper awareness, with adrenaline for me comes a fear that I love as well. I think that fear creates my hyper awareness.

Bruh, are we all living the same lives? I started smoking pot when I was 18 and when I turned 21 and could legally buy it. I used it originally for working out and making music which was fucking amazing, but once covid happened I was just sat in my room all day with my weed so I'd just smoke it and get super anxious about how the world was going to end, or that covid was going to kill me, that I was going to have a heart attack from panicking, or that I was about to become a schizophrenic because I felt like reality was about to rip apart (I was tripping frequently on acid shortly before covid).
It took me until I was 22 to kick it because I just loved it so much for making all the pleasurable senses I had so much more amazing than they were, but at the same time it amplified all the shitty experiences too. I still miss it though. Just watching these videos with 3 joints I bought from a pot shop debating whether or not to smoke one. I've been an alcoholic before and I used to smoke a lot of cigarettes and vape so now that I don't have anything, and it's been 2 years since I last smoked I'm wondering if things have changed.

I’m an anxious person and can take 1,000 mg edible and feel great and not freak out. The human body is different for everyone and everyone reacts differently so I don’t agree with that young doctor saying he dosnt think an anxious person can handle it I don’t think it’s that black and white

Do I have any control?..."
Everything he described is not paranoia to think about but true. That's just worrying about things you can't control.
My first time smoking weed was in grade school and it wasn't a paranoid event I actually enjoyed it couldn't stop laughing it was until I left to high school that weed made me feel paranoid and it changed my life for the worst I couldn't figure why smoking weed wasn't fun any more and I believe that it mentally messed me up I became paranoid all through high school and became socially awkward till this day I'm in my 50s now I stopped smoking in the late 80s and I'm still suffering because of it

Hyperawareness can cause paranoia, especially when it's all negative. Also, handling that hyperawareness can lead to 'paranoia', if you can't let go of your normal state of being or accept things as they are. If you get dry mouth, so what? That is least of my human life problems, but for some people it can cause real anxiety. It is also vital to know how to stop narrative you are telling yourself, and not to idetify with your altered state thoughts
So true. This is why I have issues with weed, is cause it makes me think and feel more. I do enough of that when I’m sober.
@Khanate Archer I hear you brotha. Glad to know I'm not the only one haha.
I'm not fearful but weed makes me feel bad. Ever since weed became legalized it's been different. There's something called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome which has been happening a lot more to people since weed became legal. I truly think there's something going on with the weed nowadays.
It’s because yt people in labs are trying to make it as strong as possible through genetic modification. Natural cannabis is at most 13% thc
100% agree. It’s a psychedelic and while a great one, it isn’t mild. Misconception by many imo.
Weed is extremely psychedelic , especially for lightweights like me
I have never done shrooms or any psychedelic but they have always been my nightmare. But I do smoke extremely strong medicinal pot. So this comment makes me wonder.
Paranoia is a sideffekt and depends of the Strain.
I've always said my paranoia has stopped me from some fun times but it has stopped me from alot more bad times. It's one thing when I wake up tired cause I'm already invested that bad is coming and I want that to change but it's another thing when I know how people are and I know how I am and when the 2 shouldn't mix. I've done more than most who know of me would think and same time not as much yet the same people or friends that have did types of things I do have had to change or trouble . For instance if we're drunk in public which is always risky be quite and do what you gotta do and go or be loud and be noticed and watched. From my looks girl's have always been attracted to me and guys have always wanted to test me and as much as I love girls and am not scarred of any man I know that gets unwanted attention so I keep to myself till I'm in a situation it's ok to be noticed
regardless did the paranoia get better now?
Calling paranoia "hyper awareness" is like calling a coma "hyper self-restraint".
However, this kind of reasoning is completely predictable with stoners.
Consuming weed makes people think they're smart when they're stupid. Makes people think they're aware when they're completely numb, makes them think they're focused when their minds are completely reactive. It makes people think they're relaxed when their body is physiologically measurably stressed. Weed makes people think they're social when they're disengaged, makes people content with being passive, weak and easily manipulated. GETS PEOPLE HOOKED for NO LOGICAL REASON and I haven't heard one good reason in 10 years of having smoked weed myself and being around hundreds of stoners in all those years. People make up justifications but they're mostly bad, unreasonable and often the complete opposite of what is actually going on. I was guilty of that myself. Weed creates a physiological response in the respiratory system and consequently the entire body that resembles dysfunction, stress and anxiety. These effects are physiological! Synapses in the brain literally close off communication between nerve cells in the brain. Maybe that's why people take years to even become aware of these physiological effects. Weed makes people think their consciousness expands when in fact it does the opposite. Stoners think weed is this great wonderful medicinal plant when pain relief is really the ONLY measurable upside and in reality weed causes lasting brain damage, memory shortage, decreased cognitive function, infertility, low testosterone (which constitutes many medical situations for men, such as higher chance of getting a heart attack, higher stress levels etc.). Weed consumption also leads to all kinds of respiratory situations and much more commonly than people are aware of even psychiatric disease.
Become self-aware, aware of your own conscious state and aware of others when they're high. Learn the science and you'll see that everything written above is accurate.
Hey @Holy Rollin' Moly, I completely agree with what you said. I just wanted to share something I felt recently and would like to understand what your view is on this subject. I am in college and was walking home through the streets when I started to think about humans and our relationships. I thought of our animalistic instincts towards food, water, shelter and sex. Thought of the weirdness of buildings and judged how uncomfortable the architecture around had made me feel. I was in a house and how shady the place I was walking at had been. I kid you not I thought of human beings and just where we are and I cannot see anyone the same ever again. I think that is the kind of hyper awareness they are talking about. The one that makes you questions peoples motives at the core. Honestly, only talking to my mom helped me get out of that loop of thought momentarily. I find myself judging peoples motives conveyed through their behaviour and it is sad sometimes. I am currently just trying to focus that we are complex as humans, which reflects in our thoughts. I am not going to lie I find it difficult to convince myself so nowadays.
Sadly, you are correct, and I say this as someone who routinely did it for many months.
I totally agree with the dude in the blue shirt. It comes down to the individuals mental strength
I think it's a psychedelic from a certain point of view, especially by yourself in a secluded/isolated area. I live in the deep rural south and back when my tolerance was really low i took a few bong rips in the woods across from my house by a bayou just chilling against a tree and watching the water. Man that shit took me to some weird places in my head. I definitely consider it a very light trip.
did you enjoy that experience in retrospect?
Man I could never smoke outside without thinking someone is gonna run out of the trees and kll me😂
I am stoned whilst watching this and after hearing joe talk about how we are moving in space that quickly I’m terrified I really think at some point the earth will fall in space I was so chilled out now I’m sweating thinking about it
I once thought a man on my computer screen was seriously watching me and I have no camera. So, it's DEFINITELY just paranoia.
i just feel relaxed man i dont think it gets me paronoid i just like the feeling more aware
Today @12pm I head over to some friends house and took hit for the first time and the next three hours of the day, had me near pissing myself. Looking back on it, that shit was funny asf but no way in hell I'm gonna through that again.
The hyperawareness I had was just that time was sort of looping for me and when I observed my friend's reactions to the way I was acting, I couldn't help but be a bit paranoid.
First I started thinking they gave me something bad cuz one of them seemed stressed out.
Second with the time loops I'm experiencing, it felt like I was barely in control of my self and and clearly see myself dying to a really stupid accident of me (the nerd) just trying to loosen up and be like my friends, then somehow dying to some dumb fuck up like a overdosing or something. (and the only I smoked was weed... I think).
Lastly tlmy friends were going off about how others just acted a bit stupid and laughed it off. But I was not laughing and this shit was starting to scare me.
Eventually I took a breather and try to get myself and all my friends to relax but during that time it felt like my heart stopped. So my paranoia sets back in and I immediately want a hospital. I somehow recovered my composure and kinda laughed it off with my friends and got them to let me go home. On my way home though, I swear I could feel my walking affecting my heart rate (like the pulse in my leg matching the beats in my chest). And so my paranoia started going into overdrive. I started straight up thinking I need to keep my heart rate steady. Not too fast or it might give out and not too slow to make it stop again.
When I got home none of my family noticed anything wrong with me until I started asking for an abulance.
In the end when everyone found out I was high but I felt there was something off, I got my lectures (though I was too high to give a shit and was focused on not dying) and was told to drink some water and get in bed for a while.
Not gonna lie, the experience itself was just horrific. It's 2am and I'm still shaking right now.
Did your heart stop again or just that one time?
@@Accelerat270 just that one time. I think I had an hallucination when It happened cuz I saw some some weird shit when before I got back up lol. I just don't wanna say it.
We are a small percentage of the population that experiences bad reactions to Marijuana and it makes me envy of others who can smoke and chill 😎 but for us it's the worst feeling in the world
Truth be Told I would rather get hit by a bus than smoking that again good riddance
God this is so relatable man. When I get high I feel like I have to fight in order to stay alive or stay sane, like I’m constantly struggling to stay afloat in water. For you it was walking to keep your heart rate normal and for me I felt like I had to fake laugh every 5 seconds or so because it would reset the looping I was experiencing.
@@lechusa2128 For real the fake laugh for me I couldn't do it as much cuz I had a feeling if I did I wouldn't stop lol 😂
Weed is good for relaxing and enjoying if you know how to use it. Taking a few breathes before or during your sesh. And then finding ways to distance yourself from your overthinking.
For me it would better described as hyper-vigilance
I’m so baked and watching this and reading the comments is *chefs kiss* 😂
i have adhd and when i’m high i get paranoid cause to me if i move my hand it moves a second later
Im hyper aware and it sucks cuz its turning into like beginning stages of psychosis ( i know what this means don’t say “don’t talk about something you don’t understand”) i have conversations in my mind with myself about a possible future scenarios, i don’t trust anyone at all and I’ve implanted it so much in my head that all i think about is how i never will have that trust with someone, but step up to me and ill smile in your face and say whats up and act like i know im not going crazy and im just normal☹️i love to let people think there getting away with subliminal disses towards me just thinkin that they think I’m dumb fascinates me and I’m always staring at everything and i mean everything if u even moved ur head towards me, or if u do any movement around me ill see it in my peripherals and focus on everything else around me while only staring straight
Finesse how u been dealing with it now? I am just now experiencing this
@@gottabecajuste i mean its still there but i loki got over by thinking that i gotta take care of my family no matter what so i gotta get a good job to buy whatever we need but not give em money so they dont use me, and ive been finding people who like what they do cuz everyone else likes to find people who will give em money food or weed, i figured im just a real person if that makes sense like an OG finding out what to do thatll make money is hard tho
How are you
Any updates bro ? I’ve started to have the same issues where I notice all the subliminal disses when speaking with people I call friends & Ive even caught multiple people talking about me negatively when they think I can’t hear them & subliminal social media posts. Its honestly been going on for some years now & i’ve just distanced myself from people & when i do come across familiar faces i play the fool they think i am but it’s starting to get old quick.
@@finesse9892 & same thing with the noticing how people act around me, the faces they make when certain lyrics play during a song, or someone will look at me when they see something they think defines me
Everyone's got there threshold. If you can balance it, its all good....
Joe "Lemme tell you about DMT" Rogan
Noted! There is two ways of using a hammer 😂
Reminds me of this girl that my friends and i got to smoke for her first time. We thought she'd have a great time... Boy were we wrong... Ive never seen someone not handle the time morph so badly from that first hit. Needless to say she had a horrible time and was very paranoid. Dont think she talked to me much after that haha.
Was in the dam 2yr ago my brothers stag do and yea we wanted a smoke but same time first hour getting their and it being a stag it was beer time but his brother in law didn't drink but wanted a smoke fair enough we got him in somewhere he got a toke and...iv never seen the color drain so fast from a persons face he was chalk white lol I thought shit not gd! Ran out got him 2 cans red bull seemed bit better dragged him into mcds got him a big Mac and he was cured color came flooding back and it was time to party again! Lol
@@joeodonnell921 Learn how to spell and formulate legible sentences. Ugh
@@Euphoriasmotion2011 oooooooh shit its the spelling police!!!!
What a lightweight lmao
Hampered awareness.
High energy + continuity = real awareness. Psychedelics rip away at your sense of self (self)
You should be anxious! Joe is right we don't have a clue about anything haha
Hyperawareness for SURE!
I suffer from it. I have the exact same feeling whenever I watch gore videos. The cruelty and the way a life can end in just seconds just takes me back to that rabbit hole.
I used Marijuana in conjunction with alcohol and it was great. Each one enhanced the other. Now that I'm sober I don't enjoy weed anymore.
as soon as i smoke it becomes clear that everyone and myself are living life like robotic animals with half the brain blocking out most the stuff you are seeing, thinking and hearing. Weed completely lifts that brain blocking for me and I see everything for how it is.. and it is scary. Its not an easy thing to handle.. drinking alcohol after the paranoia kicks in though does gradually bring it to a neutral zone and enjoyable
Im better high alone in todays competition of ego . Havent been high in ages. Do it with what you love and you will have a greater passion for it. Be it music or sports it even a small hobby
It's funny how once you go high, logic thinking flyes out the window. Then when you sober up, your like: "Why the fuck did I even think like that?". For instance, you get high, you see random guy from a far and your all like "omg, he can see that im high". Then you sober up and say to yourself: "How the fuck would that guy see that im high? Its impossible".
That's how someone with schizophrenia would think
@@esthertodd6562 How do you know if you have that
@@chrisperez7710 you don't unless you're diagnosed with it lol I'm saying that people's experience with 🍃 is similar to people with schizophrenia
these are early stoner thoughts, once you become a true stoner you realize you only look stoned if you act stoned, once you become an enlightened stoner you only smoke to think about love and connection
is there a way to get passed this hyperawareness while high I cant do shit w my friends because I freaked out the first time
It highlights the errors in your way
"Paranoia or Hyperawareness?" my paranonia was completely eradicated when growing became legal in the state. hyperawareness, try peyote then tell me what you seen/heard ..
idk. i think it's paranoia. when i use to smoke and sit and chill and play video games i always would turn around occasionally and look behind me because i felt like something was there. and i would turn around a lot of times, just to check. always had that feeling. why would i do that? thats paranoia not hyperawareness. although mentally i do think i am hyper aware when on marijuana my thoughts are supercharged and i think thoughts i normally wouldnt sober.
It was probably a spooky ghost...
@@alexkanehbosm4082 that's what it feels like. as if something were behind you lol. not spooky, but something that makes you want to turn around and check. why would i have that strong feeling when chilling and gaming? i dont do that when sober lol only when im high. weed can definitely give you paranoia
Someone finally says it!
Makes me feel like I’m in sage mode
It's fun y win e sometimes on weed, I feel like an ancient Chinese philosopher lol.
I lacked empathy completely before I smoked weed, but after a year smoking I started experiencing it and it freaked me the fuck out. I valued no one's life or pain so who knows what I would of ended up as an adult if not for weed, thanku cannabis
Joe "I think" Rogan
By accident at the age of 6 I took edible pot in form of sweet and after 30 minutes my heart was beating so fast that I felt it will explode my brain, the area near heart was starting to pain, burning and tingling sensation a lot , I was so scared that I felt That I will die, felt dizziness and no controls on my body, the heart felt like it will collapse but after 4 hours Everything got ok. At that time it feels like I met death and came back😓
Being such a young age 6 and the high potency of thc in the eatibles you consumed would have made your experience really bad. But I highly doubt it would have been fatal have you ever smoked weed during your adult life if so how was your experience now.
