It just makes me paranoid. Spliff being round a party of 10...im the only person who didn't accept. Everyone seems to love it. Am i missing something?

I don’t, neither does DH. You’re not alone

Aprillygirl · 22/09/2019 08:35

I don’t touch it anymore because I never know in what way it will effect me. All well and good when it makes you happy and giggling, but I absolutely loathe that feeling of intense paranoia it can give you. I just find it so scary, and the worry of not being able to snap out of that feeling just intensifies that horrible sensation
all the more! Nah fuck that shit and pass me the wine.

I've never tried it but I do hate the smell of it.

OtraCosaMariposa · 22/09/2019 08:40

Never tried it. Don't see the appeal. Never had a cigarette either.

SerenDippitty · 22/09/2019 08:41

Never tried it, never wanted to.

Ellabella989 · 22/09/2019 08:42

Smoked it with my DP for a couple of years and ended up developing terrible anxiety (had never had any issues before). Since stopping my anxiety is slowly starting to disappear. My DP loves it though and doesn’t seem to get any negative side effects and can still function very well in a high powered job etc. It definitely seems to affect people in different ways and should be used very cautiously.

BeyondMyWits · 22/09/2019 08:44

Am also the same as Joblot - never tried it, don't drink either - I am me and don't want to escape from that,

I also don't want the remotest possibility that by my doing something it changes me... I like me.

I just felt that many of the people thought i was a bit strange for not having a puff...i also felt others had a puff due to peer pressure.

My cousin had his first schizophrenic episode after smoking weed😐

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 22/09/2019 08:49

I dont like the way it'scseen as a chilled hippy drug when it triggered lifelong mh issues.

This. I’ve seen it destroy lives.

Crustytoenail · 22/09/2019 08:51

No I don't like it either, the smell makes me feel sick and the twice I tried it, I was sick as a dog for days after. Probably didn't know my limit but had no further interest in finding out. Had bad experience with an ex being addicted to it and his behaviour left a lot to be desired. Not for me.

Bubsworth · 22/09/2019 08:53

Sadly a lot of people don't realise it can completely f+ck your mind up, your reasoning and logic, everything. It has ruined basically every area of my FIL's life and looks like my two BILs are headed the same way.

Animum2 · 22/09/2019 08:55

I don't even like the smell of it when passing somebody who is smoking it, gives me instant nausea

shesgrownhorns · 22/09/2019 08:58

Ed Sheeran ‘something to drink and maybe something to smoke’

Grrrrr...

ASauvignonADay · 22/09/2019 08:59

I don't mind the feeling and like the smell, but hate the illegal side and therefore have very rarely smoked it.

Some people think the illegal side makes it cool and anti establishment. I think the medicinal properties can be hood without thc but like any medication, it should be controlled.
I think the paranoia feeds into the conspiracy theories surrounding the drug...the goverment want to keep it banned to stop humanity reaching spiritual heights...or some such bollocks.

I did it about 20 years ago and has my first panic attack! I still have them now and would say to anyone wanting to try it, just don't!! Wether or not it started off my anxiety, or it would have happened anyway, who knows, but I wish I'd never tried it.

Paperdolly · 22/09/2019 09:12

Like putting a revolver to your head. 🙄

Waxonwaxoff0 · 22/09/2019 09:13

Never tried it myself. Just doesn't appeal to me. I do drink though but I've never tried any illegal drugs.

I'm all for it being legalised though as I know it helps a lot of people, but it's not for everyone. The same way alcohol isn't. I think people with a history of MH issues should be very cautious with it.

Jiggles101 · 22/09/2019 09:13

If you don't like it that's absolutely fine but there's no need to judge those of us that do Smile

Different strokes for different folks innit!

northernknickers · 22/09/2019 09:16

Never tried it...wouldn't recognise the smell that people are talking about either to be honest! I don't know anyone who uses it...and have no friends who smoke either. I guess we all choose our own tribe, and that's ok ☺️

Blueoasis · 22/09/2019 09:23

Never tried it, never going to.

skippy67 · 22/09/2019 09:38

Yep, you're the only person in the world that doesn't like weed...🙄

WellButterMyArse · 22/09/2019 09:43

I used to enjoy it years ago and do still like the smell, but grew out of it in my early 20s. Fortunately never had any cause to investigate the medicinal properties.
