I'm a newbie when it comes to marijuana. I'm a fairly light user, mainly because it seems to effect me so much. I always go really pale and get REALLY bloodshot eyes. sometimes i have hardly any at all and i get paranoia sort of things happenin. my hearing goes fked up and every sound i hear scares me. does this sound normal? could i be alergic or just have a really low tolerance?

your situation is no more than what you said in your first sentence, youre a newbie. back when i first started getting high i would take like 10 hits on a joint and think i was as high as it was possible to get, and get all paranoid because i just wasnt use to what was happening around and to me. i still do belive, like you, that i have a low tollerance, because now that im more experienced, i still find that im way higher than my friends are when we smoke the same amount. but yea take it as a blessing, its been said many times before but being a cheap stone isnt at all a bad thing. maybe if youre bugging out so bad, try to find a more secure place to smoke at where u wont have to worry about being busted/caught. a chill spot. that could change the whole paranoia factor. as for being allergic, i doubt it,hell, i dont even know if its possible.(what would an alergic reaction to weed be/look like?) i think everyone gets pretty paranoid at one point or another when theyre newbies. i find when im smoking in a cold place ill stay really cold and get pale, but if im in a warm environment my face tends to get flushed, so maybe tahts your situation. wait till summer to see how smoking in the warm summer heat makes ur face look. hope that helps.
peace.

You just gotta get used to being high. One thing that will help is if your paranoia gets relieved. Try smoking in a place where you will not get caught. And make sure you're with people that you are comfortable with. If you're worried about your red eyes then get some visine or clear eyes or something like that. They make those products for stoners. As far as you getting pale when you smoke, are you sure you're not just high and think that you look pale? Also, being paranoid could possibly cause you to look pale. The key is to cut down on your paranoia so you can enjoy your high and then in time you will not get as paranoid in other situations. The way to cut down on your paranoia is to control your environment.

I don't smoke very often so I usually get paranoid probably once per smoke session. For a very long time (and still today a little) I would just be paranoid of cops even when I wasnt high or even if I didn't have anything on me. When you become paranoid, what you have to do is think rationally, its hard, but it comes with practice. One of my friends said "I don't even consider cops a threat," and I kinda do that, I mean I know they are, but mentally at that moment, they arent. Alot of my friends that smoke daily dont ever really get paranoid because they're just used to it so you could do that too -- although its much more expensive

Think of it this way, the cops needs a reason to stop you. Don't give them one. If you're in a car, don't speed. Don't be somewhere you're not supposed to be. Don't break any other laws. Part of not getting busted is luck but its mostly being smart enough to not let come down to just luck.

An illustration of my fear of police...

Last night I had a dream that some cop showed up at my dorm room and was going so search it for some reason, whew, glad that was just a dream

Be sure you aren't drinking too much caffeine (soda, coffee, tea) especially when you are smoking. YOu probably have experienced "cotton mouth" (feeling really thristy when you smoke)

Stick with water, and lots of it...you might notice just by keeping hydrated that it helps cut down on that feeling of "omigod jumpiness"

Also set and setting is very important ~ if you are hanging out where there are police passing by, or in a car where you have no expectation of privacy, then you should be a bit scared...

On the other hand if you are somewhere safe (indoors, in a vast parkland or wilderness) you are less likely to become intimately acquainted with the legal system.

Keep in mind also that certain areas of the UK are currently experimenting with a "warning" system rather than an arrest for the use and possession of small amounts of marijuana.

Hope that helps.
