Man i really appreciate all your efforts though i don't really have to do with it! Really good advice! I experienced similar stuff all of you described.

In the end it's not the drug that brings those things. It's yourself, the drug just catalyses it or lets you experience this part of yourself. Don't let yourself be scared of anything. Because the fear of the fear is kind of the paranoia itself.

What i mean with fear of the fear is that you are unconsciously or consciously being scared of the state of paranoia, which even makes the problem (the paranoia) worse.

It might be good as well just to accept that you're fucked up and talk like that to your friends and if they go along well with it you could also take drugs with them together and let them help you by talking or something.

Anyway try to get a clear view of it and make the best of it, or do whatever you feel you have to do to accomplish the goal, which is to stop yourself being paranoid. Or at least be aware of what you feel you should do to end this.

Hope this helps you sort of! Anway i wish all the best for you!

I've had this experience before also. It's really a bummer, I know. Maybe this is a look into what it could be also just read it today...

From my experience and my weed usage -quite high- I have to say this:

As already mentioned "fear of the fear itself" plays an important role and it's something you need to get over, in my first high I used to think everyone would be talking about me/thinking I'm stoned and whatnot, but since I had read about the paranoia as a common symptom of inexperienced users I just realized it was all in my mind and relaxed. Now I have zero paranoia

Again, as somebody mentioned it, cannabis IS a psychedelic and as such set and setting is important, consider this while smoking; don't do it if there are risk factors like getting caught doing it by somebody you don't want to, it will get to your head and ruin the experience, although when under the effects of THC you do have an increased awareness of things so decide if it's the setting (your friends) or if it's just you!

Hope this helps, good luck.
