So sativa for motivation, then some indica for pain, a little coffee to get going...Then stop using indicas at high temps and do some low temp sativas! I'm sure you'll get used to the paranoia.

Makes me paranoid, what me? nooo never!! Hey Dudes, Did you Ever realize that we might be observed by government agents or some messed up psychologists, who read our posts and profile us under insane drug abusers? Just to catch us somewhere walking on the street while being high to the point we can not even defend ourselves verbally... oh shit i gotta go, somone just knocked on my door....
-no wait, it was only me farting!
...but to get this topic back to seriousness, I felt a lot paranoia smoking the green goddess. Depending on the people I'm with and on the environment I'm in. but also dosage, looking back now I think a lot of the bad experiences had to do with how I physically felt after smoking. often I had an exelerated heartbeat and the impression that I could OD. But that was when I was younger and didn't know you can't really OD on cannabis. The lack of information about this plant often leads to false experiences. I also learned vaping doesn't generate the toxins that appear after combustion, without these byproducts the paranoia never hits too hard when it does.

I totally miss that though! I wish I could get that baked and be tripping balls about how I think everyone can notice how twitchy I feel haha.
that is the best quote: "when you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky".
As for paranoia, I think of it as the mark of getting high. It used to be a barrier for me, but now it's a signpost. Maybe the plant evolved like that so people (the hosts) would be more cautious, have less chance of getting busted - and continue to propagate the plant. Anyone think of that???

I totally agree! I had a profoundly beautiful moment yesterday, I revisited an old friends house where about 2.5 years ago I used to practically LIVE at as a full-time drug addict and criminal.
I stood in the room as a man who has learnt his lessons and come out with a new outlook on life, a man with a job and a daughter and respect for himself.. And in the same room I saw the flickering memories of my past self, sitting hunched on the couch over a bong and an endless mixbowl. whoops, monologuing!
long story short..I had a hit from my trusty vape and as the high took it's effect I felt very self-conscious.. Suddenly aware of how high I must have looked.. Normally i'd get a bit paranoid and take a seat and not move very much until I felt more comfortable, but I stood up and closed my eyes and did some stretching and enjoyed the feeling. Being self-conscious is a divine thing which we put a negative connotation to.. Being self-conscious is very pure I believe.
Peace to all!

Came across this article. Maybe someone that gets the "maranoia" can try it.

It's already Thursday! I haven't been to FC since last week I think... (been vaping in Canada with friends). Anyway, it's funny, @Magic9 , I just read that article too. I like black pepper in lots of different food. Maybe it is helping me. As for the reflection on the self-conscious aspect, @Deja Vu, I loved your description of your experience and I found it thought-provoking and a little soothing that you should mention the positive aspects of self-consciousness. Don't we beat ourselves up too much about how we're this or that? A couple nights ago I was in Vapor Central in downtown Toronto hanging out with friends and making some new ones. Because I hadn't been there in several years and because I was forming these new connections there was this fresh aspect to my whole experience. I watched this beautiful young woman, Natalie, put an elegant focus on her ritual of dabbing (she had a lovely palette of various strains of concentrate, which she had made herself) and I realized that she is absolutely aware of everything she is doing, how she looks, what is going on around her and within her, but she carries on as if that's all perfection anyway. We were all comfortable together as a group (her husband was there as well and he's a financial officer for some big bank while also openly activist for legalization, so THAT was interesting). We discussed political and economic issues passionately, laughed (I was joking that VC is really a welders club, with all the torch lighters in activation), sympathized, did everything totally self-consciously - but wonderfully. I agree that self-awareness is pure, is divine. What a nice expression!

Lovely experience also! That being said, I was a bit paranoid last night on Afghan Kush but.. It didn't particularly matter. I fell asleep in 20 mins
Well, I have to say that being really paranoid, for me at least, has often been the first part of an exceptionally good trip.

Great quote! But there's another kind of paranoia I've experienced where something like a racing heartbeat (something I experience for a minute or so once in a while, even straight) makes me worry that something's wrong with my body (like a heart attack??), then the worrying makes me feel more agitated, which then makes me get up tight, which then exacerbates the whole feedback loop. It's only happened a couple of times, but a very nasty feeling. Both times - the remedy? Taking a hot shower! Immediately back to normal.

Wow that's odd, I thought it was the thc that made me silly and the canos that made me calm/tired/relaxed.
Pure thc no good for mental state?

It was the THC that made you silly but it only made you silly because of the CBD/s that are mixed in with it to take the edge off.

Guess it best to let nature work its balanced magic, direct parts by being shot directly into the blood stream is to much for the body it seems.
Interesting though, guess those with psychotic tendencies should stray away from high thc strains though...
