Its is normal to have this feeling,i advice you to reduce on your weeds,because this is causing you some serious mental trouble.

some might say that you are obviously not smoking enough weed, and that you need to smoke through those problems and come out, the other side, a better person.

Those people would tell you that in a few years you will be totally used to being paranoid and apathetic, and it won't bother you.

And your parents basement won't seem that bad a place to live. Hey, it has a TV, doesn't it?

Or the other way to go is to stop smoking entirely and see if your brain doesn't heal up a bit and you become more of a person.

Hope that helps you

You are seriously paranoid, pretty common side effect of MJ...as im sure you know. Try smokin something a little more top notch. Or quit. They say weed isnt addictive but i kinda feel otherwise.....Youre bound to stop having those kinds of feelings after a long period of not toking.

I agree with you, Daddy's Little Pooltoy. That stuff is better left alone. It makes you apathetic and lazy. I know because I used to smoke a hell of a lot when I ran with a street crowd as a lad. Now I wouldn't touch it for anything. It's a waste of time, completely.

Say hello to your daddy for me, would you?

The best way to deal with that is to just stop giving a shit what other people think and do what makes you feel good, whether its smoking or not.

fucking freaks, ice phobia? XD
So in the winter, if I gave you a face wash with snow you would die of shock?
I just looked up a phobia list of all known phobias, 530!!!!

some examples:
Ombrophobia - Fear of rain
Melanophobia - Fear of the color black

How the fuck do you live?

this guy doesn't seem to have a problem when smoking too much weed, he seems to be using it responsibly but finding himself disagreeable with the effects. i would suggest to him that maybe he should find a new hobby, but there is absolutely no reason to believe he is in danger of dropping out of society. believe it or not, plenty of marijuana users are college professors, business owners, doctors, lawyers or other professionals. i can personally vouch to their existence. pot use does not equal parent's basement.

Sheepish is right! Smoking weed is NOT a problem and many highly educated and successful people partake in this harmless drug in a responsible time and place.

What this person is experiencing is totally normal--it's a phase. Only get high in really comfy places and with really comfy people until it passes. Don't worry. The more you pay attention to it the worse it will get.
