Effects - Cannabis gives swim problems relating to people

[Orchid_Suspiria]

When swim smokes cannabis and has conversations with people he focuses on things people say and puts new meanings on them.Even if it is simple mundane things swim has trouble "understanding"in a sense and often interprets negative meanings or feels they are being sarcastic or mean to swim even if it is clearly not true.

This actually bothers swim and is one part of the cannabis experience he doesn't like.Does anyone know what swim is talking about or maybe have this same problem?

when SWIM smokes everything is normal, SWIM just feels good inside, feels slightly euphoric at times but overall happy. When he talks to people it feels the same as sober just he knows he is high and they dont.

SWIM doesn't believe what SWIY is experiencing is cannabis but more of something inside of SWIYou and cannabis brings it out. Its also kinda paranoia which most people who dont smoke often get when smoking cannabis. If one doesn't like the drug one shouldn't do the drug. The drug is a product of SWIyou, SWIYou is not the product of a drug. Its not drugs its people. imo

Swim enjoys cannabis,theres just parts of it he doesn't enjoy.It is enjoyment,not total enjoyment like opiates but still enjoyment.Swim likes the way when he lays down and closes his eyes after smoking cannabis his mind goes to all sorts of fascinating places with fascinating sights and sounds.Swim just doesn't like the minor paranoia and the tendency it can have to make one dwell on problems.

one must learn where the problem roots from and treat it while high. One must understand something before they can make it go away.

It could come from swim being generally unhappy.Set and setting isn't as important with cannabis as it is with lsd but swim is seeing that it plays a role.

SWIM feels this, and has been giving cannabis a break for about 3 months now.. he thinks its down to the stress's of his exams coming up and teachers all wanting him to fullfill his potential. It may help if i say that SWIM was diagnosed with aspergers syndrome, so generally has difficulty relating to people anyways, although this was neevr a problem when he was in a nice high, as he simply didnt really care... although recently he has been caring about things to much, so often misunderstands people and what they say when in a conversation, reducing him to a quite guy sitting there doing nothing... SWIM has a friend who feels the same, and doesnt have any neurological 'disorders' ..he simply seems to not smoke when he's feeling down and he is generally fine.. (set and setting are important even when sober)

yeah. SWIM used to get the same things SWIY got, but SWIM started to smoke more and figure out why, Then SWIM realized its all in his head and learned to relax and notice cannabis for the great effects and now SWIM never gets paranoid. SWIM doesn't have any negative effects from the herb now.

SWIM finds that even when he tells himself its in his head, he cant get rid of the negative feelings and the double meaning percepetions he gets from other people when they talk.. although he knows its in his head, he cant get these thoughts to realize that, any advice?

This kind of paranoia is perfectly common, happens to SWIM as well as other people he knows, and fits with many reports he has read. It's certainly not a sign of anything deeply wrong with you. If SWIY feels he can 'treat' it psychologically, then it's worth a shot if the experience is otherwise enjoyable, but if not then it will have to be accepted as part and parcel.

[truth]

smoke alone, Is one of them SWIM can say. Then Once SWIY gets comfortable with the herb move it out to different locations. ITs basically getting comfortable with SWIYourself while SWIYour high. SWIM used to get the same thing, until he started smoking everyday. Now SWIM doesn't get those feelings.
