Sometimes I feel like my friends' words have hidden meanings, but I can't believe this is true. Why is this and is there any way to prevent this. I enjoy marijuana but this feeling sucks.

Answer:

When smoking weed you really need to be focusing on positive thoughts and experiences.

You will find a lot of how you feel depends on the setting and the people you are with.

As you probably know some level of paranoia or social anxiety is a common side effect. There isn't much that I can say to help you with this, except that your mood going into it has much to do with your mood while under the influence. So you might be hanging out with some people that you don't completely trust. Or it could just be that the drug triggers an unjustified feeling that has no basis in fact.

I would spend a few minutes when you're sober thinking about it. Do you trust your friends? Do you think they're saying something bad about you or are you just too high to understand what anyone is talking about?

Like any substance, pot has positive and negative elements. Try to remember this: moderation.

Good luck!

Response to Dr. Death:

"It's illegal!" Actually, no, it's not illegal everywhere, and it was legal in the US for much longer than it has been illegal. People have been using mild altering drugs for centuries. There are plenty of places in the world where it's legal now. That doesn't mean its right for everyone. But jackasses like you who want to lecture people about why others shouldn't be allowed to ingest a chemical should at least have something more to offer than, "it's illegal."
