The first time I smoked it I felt like I was the happiest man on this earth. But the next time I smoked it, I started getting really paranoid and anxious. I thought it must be an isolated incident and should be nothing to worry about. I smoked it again 4 times after that incident and I ended up feeling the same anxiety and paranoia each time. Please help me because I want to feel like I felt the first time I smoked it. Please help me. It has really made me sad.

my cousin has that same prob....but keep n mind he also has problems with amphetamines...so I'm assuming every time he smokes the t.h.c entwines and infuses with said amph. (poison) thats already coursing through my little cuz's veins.(are you on anything else while toking?)
next time u smoke while around others,
keep in mind--we'll all be dead someday so why waste precious time caring about what others think (fuk'em)

Look for a high CBD strain.
That's cause the weed you are smoking was harvested too early. Plants go through a series of "phases" during their growth. If you feel paranoid and get really energetic it's because that weed was harvested before it could fully develop. Read about Trichomes and plant development. Further, it's my belief that a lot of dispensaries sell weed that's harvested too early because of demand and also it's like speed or amphetamines. If you smoke weed that makes you feel really energetic your gonna wanna smoke more because your like speed, you come down real quick, and want to get that back to that plateau you were on so you'll end up smoking more. The weed I smoke get's me stoned but it's a mellow high with no paranoia or speedy feeling, because my plant's are allowed to fully develop. I don't harvest until about 10% of my trichomes are amber. Hope this helps.

Your not alone many people feel as you described so they don't smoke , others push through it until the system develops a tolerance at which point the feeling of fear or anxiety stop happening.

So the way i see it you have three choices , smoke more and get used to it or stop smoking it , saving it for special occasions etc. only

With the 3rd choice being embrace the feelings face them don't fear them its an illusion.

Party on

Lots of uninformed opinions here.
Sativas can give you that racy, paranoid feeling, especially if you aren't used to it or under the influence of other drugs.
Try a nice Indica, it should mellow you out. D

I don't smoke sativas just because of this very issue ......I personally am soley an evening rite before bed smoker .....I like my long flowered indicas to help me sleep and chill me out .......being around other people will definitely help as well IMO ......but I agree different strains are key to the experience one will have .......I have some SSH I grew and I won't touch it personally because the heart race and paranoia are real with that shit lol .....only way I could smoke that is if I was outdoors doing some kind of physical activity with others to keep my mind from tripping me out .......don't think about being stressed or paranoid when your toking either ....it will ruin your session from the start .....GL

Feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome. Use CBD is significantly reduced anxiety, cognitive impairment, and discomfort in their speech performance.

I have read and noticed w myself high THC, like wax THC which can reach 70% or Tahoe OG which can be above 25% can increase anxiety. i noticed low THC / High CBD relaxes me. my fav strand is probably pennywise which gives me a muscle relaxer happy feel. VCDC i get no euphoric feel but heavy limbs and relaxed w no anxiety. id bet that would make a huge difference. look up both strands on leafly or if there are reviews here look them up. you may thank me.

In case you might happen to be Jeff Sessions, Find out the name of the first strain you smoked, it will make you the happiest man on earth.

grow some old school 15% indica and put it in a bowl.....no problems. Its simply the fight or flight system responding to your nervous system being impaired. If you are already stressed and add thc your brain might be able to handle it...which is ok, you're human. Until you get used to all the high % thc with no cbd be prepared for it to happen until your body gets used to it. Ide spare yourself the anxiety and find a high cbd strain like acdc or harlequin...i love cbd tho...so im biased.

Indica sedates Sativa awakes Zing obviously not all people enjoy the high energy high it provides.
Its likely the OP was indeed smoking a strong Sativa as many suspect.

What works for me is Indica in the morning and night with sativa for the day time high.
Sometimes I will get too high on the Sativa and smoke some Indica right after to bring me down or is it sideways who knows..but it works.
