no you dont hear voices. As a previous poster said some people do get anxious but it usally fades after about 15 minutes the worst thing to happen me while smoking a j was burning my finger alas there is no demand for hash anymore because its crap (unless in holland it will knock your socks off) so i have nothing more to worry about

:D

Lonely stoners are renowned for turning severe paranoid psychotic episodes into cash later in life through massive advertising campaigns.

Don't tell me this advert or comparethemeercat.com weren't conceived without the involvement of some severe cannabis use early in life!!!!

Mr. CooL ICE · 24-05-2010 08:32PM

Nope. Not even an inkling of paranoia.

However, I did have a friend (and housemate) who had a whitener during one session, and he left the sitting room and locked himself into his bedroom. He never talked to us for about 2 weeks and then moved out. He since hasn't talked to myself or my other (then) housemate since then. I found out from some mutual friends a few months after this happened and apparently he thought we tried to poison him with nicotine. He is 100% convinced that we tried to poison him as a joke and theres no telling him otherwise.

After knowing and being friends with the guy for over 3 years until this point, I would have to put this down to being one of those rare occurences where smoking weed can actually be bad.

Marty McFly · 24-05-2010 08:46PM

Nope you dont, now i did used to get paranoia sometimes as id walk home from my mates but it was a paranoia inducing walk withotu the hash to which just heightened it, i would be well twithchy alking home though. well unless weed ha got a lot stronger these days havent really smoked it in bout 5 years apart from two trips to amsterdam:D.

now mushrooms are one hell of a drug you see some freaky stuff and spend most the day laughing at crap. One of the few drugs id gladly take well when im sober anyway.

Do you hear things, like schizophrenics, when smoking cannabis? I've been told you see things that aren't there.

You mean like delusions of ganja?

I did one time, in Amsterdam. I put my hand in my head and then thought there were bugs all over my hand (there weren't).

It's weird though because it shouldn't be hallucinagenic.

I was a heavy enough smoker also once upon a time so wasn't larrylightweightness.

Thats a tingling sensation, and its meant to happen - it means youre smoking good stuff. Not that typical crap you find in Ireland. Bugs would be one way to describe it. I consider it a buzz, like most people; almost electric. But not at all painful. Quite comfortable actually.

I have never seen anything I wouldnt otherwise see if I were sober. ie. People with Halogen Headlamps with that blue tint? Yeah you'll think its the cops for half a second. But you do that sober too.

No, you dont really see anything extraordinary that isnt there.

Paranoia comes strictly from the fact that you're smoking something illegal. If youre a secure person youll never get paranoid.

It does affect your rationale and thought-process; particularly in conversation and music, you find yourself spending a lot more time over-analyzing the semantics of things said in a conversation (and you'll interpret double-meanings from just about everything that you hear); the meaning behind musical lyrics, respond more emotively to the music itself, etc.

I see . . . I know and have known many people who smoke daily and none of them have ever heard voices that weren't there. I call shenanigans on your claim.

LOL. I think he's being sarcastic. ie. You still hear people that are talking to you - it doesnt make you deaf :P

Agree with the rest of your post but I don't think its just down to the illegality. Normally I'm fine with it but sometimes i'd start worrying about something innocuous being a terrible situation. Usually would realise after a few min "oh yes, that would be the cannabis"
Then thinking about it the next day wouldn't have a clue how I was worried abotu such a thing.

By secure do you mean mentally or secure surroundings? Mentally I think most people are insecure to some extent. Off top of my head can only think of one person I know who isn't.

I go to Amsterdam and experienced absolutely no paranoia. The only paranoia I get is when I smoke is at home and it's all about someone uncool walking in and making a scene.

Well here I only smoke it in houses where that won't happen. Occasional paranoia is quite common amongst people I've spoken to in real life who smoke

Hehe, No, I saw the bugs in my hand. I actually went to throw them away and hit some randomer on the arm. Like I said, I've smoked many the strong joint but this was a one time experience.

Is that paranoia pretty much exclusively about getting caught though?

Some people can't handle drugs, some people can't handle drink. Both types are best off steering clear of them.

This thread reminds me of the time the pudgy singer from the band, Keane, went into rehab & Noel Gallagher took the p*ss out of him, calling him a "f*cking posh lightweight - one f*cking hit and the next week he's in f*cking rehab."

I concur. I very rarely get paranoid from weed, but when I do it's more like paranoia in a social anxious way. Essentially everything I say will sound totally moronic to me, and I just clam up completely.

Father Damo · 25-05-2010 06:04AM

No. Never experienced giggling, watching sh1t Im not interested in or munchies either (except after a rake of beer). All it ever did for me was cause severe procrastination to a dangerous level. Glad I gave up, its a waste of your time and life (saying that, Im in Australia, dont need it as there is always something to do in the evenings. If I was ever back home id be smokin away out of boredom tbh)

Abrasax · 25-05-2010 10:25AM

Yip, I've tripped, but only smoking Ice-o-lator, a type of cannabis where any plant matter or impurities are filtered out and you're basically smoking pure THC.
Day to day smoking, nah, no funny voices or little green men.

Cannabis can be like mushrooms if you are worried about something and still worried about it when you are stoned, it could make your trip unpleasant. that is all. like neighbours calling the cops/ being in company that makes you uncomfortable/ being a wanted person. Little things can ruin your buzz. Cannabis heightens your sense of sound. If you come out of a club with your ears ringing and go home to quiet surrounds and smoke a joint, you might begin to hear things that arent there, you are just listening too intensely. legalise the **** now so you have one less excuse for killing people ya bollix

Any mind altering substance has the potential to do those things. It's down to the individual as to whether or not they experience it. Some people get very anxious after smoking cannabis, only a small minority.. but it happens.

What makes them like that isn't exclusively down to the drug, but to do with their own minds and imaginations.

That's exactly me hence I don't bother any more.

thebigbiffo · 25-05-2010 01:04PM

i dont think anyone here who's smoked good dope regularly can honestly say they've never been paranoid...and paranoia is basically that little voice (maybe not an actual actual 'outside' voice talking to you) that ****s with yer head enough - sometimes - to make ya think yer a tad bit on the loony bins side of things.

but then ya realise all that was triggered cos ya forgot something you were meant to do today and got a pang of guilt, ya smoke another bowl, stick a pizza in the oven and then realise smoking is the safest and most enjoyable intoxicant god was good enough to put on the planet.

i'm off for a doofer:D
