I am a smoker for 1 year and a few days ago i smoked a joint and all of sudden i was very confused and deep in delusions about myself. I got paranoid and when my mom came to talk to me... I did not speak because i was confused on whats going on around me. Since i am deaf, I get really deep paranoid thoughts about my deafness and how it affects my family and my friends. Mind you, I am not completly deaf... i can speak and commuincate with hearing people as well... But what im asking is, do some of you people get paranoid thoughts or delusions about yourself? I really hate it and i believe it is messing up my mind... It only happens when i over smoke (When i smoke a bowl or half a joint, I am very deep in thought and relaxed and calm but with a blunt i get paranoid) Sometimes I get scared of the social behaviors of people and myself as well. I am in full confident to tell you guys that i am deaf, I hope this post isnt retarded or anything but i would like to hear a feedback from you

This happens to me sometimes as well. I don't know exactly why it happens but sometimes I get all depressed and start doing some heavy thinking about myself. There are some things about myself that I don't like and even though I am very confident on the outside, sometimes the inside doesn't agree. I think it is perfectly normal to sometimes evaluate and/or criticize yourself. It is only a problem when it happens so frequently that it starts to affect your life and maybe lead you to do something dangerous.

On a seperate note, have you always been deaf or were you once able to hear. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to be blind or deaf. I have the utmost respect for people who are able to overcome their disabilities and achieve great things in their lives.

I was born deaf, In fact i am about 70% deaf. Being deaf is like having thick headphones - try that and see how it feels.

Anyway, I have read an article on netscape.com which said that Marijuana may cause mental illiness to teenangers in a study from Germany (They only studied 2000 teenagers) I think it is true that it can **** up your mind and make you believe into things that are entirely false. This is the main reason why i smoke by myself always. Because i get paranoid with people and my friends when i am stoned.

Yea sometimes that happens to me too. Just try to tell yourself that the negative way you are seeing yourself in is only a product of a negative imagination. You can try to swing your mind set to a positive train of thought by thinking of the happiest thing you can think of.

**At least thats what i do **

Okay, prepare to be possibly enlightened...

The marijuana high is relatively easily controlled, especially when compared to other off-topics. Most of the time, I like to let my high run its course because that's one of the main reasons I smoke: I like to be high. But when the high takes a turn for the worse--I start analyzing social patterns in a negative way as you did, I start to think I hear things, I start to get extremely paranoid--I have learned how to shut the high off temporarily.

The trick is to develop a routine for fixing this common ailment. When you are feeling paranoid, try to flood your mind with rational thoughts. I smoke in my room before I sleep, but my parents are only down the hall. I use a fan and blah blah, so no smell, but if they happened to open the door for whatever reason, I'd be ****ed. I start worrying that they'll hear my bong bubbling (inaudible over the roar of my fan, but I get paranoid anyway) or my lighter flicking or other sounds which could draw them to my room. So, to calm myself down, I tell myself that they couldn't hear anything over the sound of the fan. I keep telling myself that, rationalizing.

If that doesn't work, then I use my buzzkill. I remind myself that I've smoked marijuana (in these words, basically) and that it's a drug which sometimes makes its users feel paranoid or worried when they normally wouldn't be. I remind myself that everything I feel is normal and that if I were sober I wouldn't be worrying about it. If it's in the beginning of the high that this happens, I remind myself that in a few hours I'll be feeling normal.

Thse things might not work for you, but the point is that you try to relax. My mother always told me, when I had nightmares, to think about something really happy. Usually, it was Christmas. I'd imagine coming downstairs, the smell of the tree, some of the better presents I've received, etc. If I can get myself into a Christmas mood, I start to feel better.

Think of any time when you've been exceptionally happy. Try to flash back to it, which shouldn't be too hard if you're high. Remember every little positive detail. If you're a lady's man/men's lady, maybe you'd think about a great "experience" you've had. Think about your favorite "partner" and that experience. Maybe you have a particular hobby. Anything happy!

I don't usually need to do any of this because my highs remain pleasant, but when the occasional "bad trip" arises, I'm all set.

I've mentioned this before, so sorry for the repost.

I totally agree with everything weiisky said.

Also... if you're paranoid... if it's possible, take a shower. That always helps me. Not only is it relaxing and feels good and stuff... but I also think it brings you down.

Showers are great to calm you down while trippin' or paranoid.
