Has anyone ever gotten really paranoid after smoking marijuana?

Don't worry about it too much. It's a fairly normal side-effect, much like getting the munchies. Also, what kind of environment are you smoking in? If you're in a situation in which you may be caught, this could place you at a disadvantage mentally, since you would be constantly worrying about someone walking in on you. Try smoking in places with low chances of being caught, (trust me, there's plenty), and try smoking with some kind of soothing music, i.e., Pink Floyd, etc. But overall, don't worry about it, feeling paranoid at some point after smoking marijuana is normal. It's okay. :)

Hope this helps, peace!

Some strains - most notably the sativa dominants - produce more paranoia than others. As long as you recognize "It's just the drug" you'll be fine. As others have said, it's a fairly typical reaction. Not dangerous, kindof obnoxious, but generally short lived and possibly entertaining. Recognize it for what it is, then relax and enjoy.

Paranoia is a side effect of smoking pot. Just like getting the munchies.

It's normal to get paranoid. I wouldn't worry about it.

Sometimes I do still get paranoid. I start making sure I put my pipe away or that nobody has left any pot on the floor or carpet, that all bags are thrown out, etc.

Wouldn't want to get caught by anyone, y'know!

Yes, well it only happened for me the first time I ever smoked it. Which was about 2 years ago. Now whenever I do I'm not paranoid.

you need to relax mann

Drink one glass of beer before you smoke. That usually relieves the paranoia.

My friend once got pulled over by the cops & the cop asked, "Do you know why i pulled u over?" & my friend said, "Cuz i was going TOO FAST?" Cop said, "Nooo! cuz you were driving ONLY 15 mph!"

So i guess he WAS a little paranoid!

Why, should I?

Is someone following me?

Who is that looking at me?

Is that a police car?

Do I smell like pot?

Do I look high?

Am I all right?

Is this normal?

When am I coming down?

I'm too high!

Nope, never happened to me.

yea every one dose u just got to remember its all in your head.
