>>13882559No, the paranoia has never been rational. I've always kept my drug use quite 'safe', only imbibing in a comfortable setting such as my home on days where I know I don't have anything planned and shouldn't expect to be disturbed.
>>13882561No, smoking is not helpful which is why I don't do it and haven't done it for several years. My point I'm trying to get at is the contrast with LSD, which I still take a few times each year without issue. Both weed and acid are drugs which induce a state of mind that can be described as being extremely introspective, you're essentially putting yourself under the microscope.
Acid can take you to some extremely dark places mentally and can really force you to look hard at some of the more difficult or unpleasant aspects of your self, yet I've always found this to be a positive experience at the end of the day and it never induces deep anxiety in me. Temporary horror and dread maybe, but not anxiety.
Weed though...I never found it to be as good at triggering those 'deep thinks'. All the paranoia and anxiety that it stirs up either seems to be baseless nonsense that comes from nowhere, or it's very ephemeral thoughts that under normal circumstances don't bother me. It's as if your mind is reading way too deeply into every little passing thought or something, it's hard to describe.
There's some sense of internal logic to acid thoughts, no matter how weird they might get. There's no such perceivable logic with weed thoughts. Maybe it's the lack of perceivable logic that creates anxiety and paranoia? I dunno.
It's late and I'm going to bed. Thanks for reading my blog, anons.
