Why does smoking weed make me feel upset and overthink?

[SpunkyPansadaX]

Everytime I smoke, I feel overwhelmed, ashamed that I smoked, and I think a lot about my life and the bad things... any reason why I feel that way?

[NearlyNapping]

It affects different people in different ways. If it's making you feel this way then stop.

"any reason why I feel that way?"

Yes. It's a drug. It does things to your head. That's the entire purpose of smoking it, to do things to your head. In your case the things it's doing to your head are not pleasant.

The smart thing to do is to shrug your shoulders and realize it's not for you. That's the smart thing. To continue doing it, when you know it's adversely affecting you is the stupid thing to do. Why would you continue to do something that you don't like? Seriously think about the answer to that question.

Sounds like you're having the side effects of anxiety and paranoia, possibly depression too which doesn't effect everyone like this however you could possibly already have anxiety and depression and the drug brings it out in you more. Better to smoke something a lot weaker or not at all if it's messing with your head! Hope you feel better when it wears off 😊

here's an idea, dont smoke weed. Simple. why are you confused. My friends that do it feel relaxed and happy. Maybe it opens everyone mind differently

I think it's the same thing that happens after people masturbate. I feel guilty every time I masturbate lol

[clarinet89]

but masturbating is not a drug, mind altering drug. it's a natural thing

[Opinion Owner]

@clarinet89 But it does release hormone though, kinda similar to some drug's feeling?

[clarinet89]

i dk any drugs that release hormones

[Opinion Owner]

@clarinet89 Not saying literally but it gives the same kind of feeling, if you get what I'm saying?

[clarinet89]

uh, i dk any drugs that release hormones. name me one

[Opinion Owner]

@clarinet89 Good grief but if you really want an example, ecstasy is one of them. Although ecstasy doesn't directly releases the hormones, it causes the body of the consumer to produce the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin more than it should be produced and from that hormones being released, the consumer will feel high and stuff.

[SydTheDM]

The difference is drugs introduce a new chemical into your system where as masterbating stimulates your body to produce chemicals by itself.

[Opinion Owner]

@SydTheDM The point is it affects your body~

[SydTheDM]

The how is the important distinction, though. Why do you feel guilty for masturbating?

[Opinion Owner]

@SydTheDM According to my religion, I'm not supposed to masturbate for any reason other than to fulfill the lust. I feel guilty because I usually do it just for fun or because I'm just hella bored so...

[SydTheDM]

Like any normal human.
I'm sorry you have that conflict.

[Opinion Owner]

@SydTheDM No problem. It's not much of a conflict anymore as I stopped doing them for a while now lol

[SydTheDM]

Oof. Well I hope you can resolve that. It's a good stress reliever.

[Opinion Owner]

@SydTheDM Definitely, I actually do them whenever I feel down in the dumps (depression, specifically) and doing it made me forget about all those stuff :s Plus, masturbation releases those awesome chemicals (dopamine, endorphin and prolactin) that makes you feel good afterwards and also sleepy lol.

[SydTheDM]

Yeah, and it's fun during the act.

[Anonymous]

Maybe it's the type of weed? I used to smoke a lot, but I mostly grew my own. There's basically three types. Sativa, indica, and a cross between sativa and indica. The highs are totally different. Sativa made me want to get up and do things. Indica made me want to just sit and stare. Most weed on the market is indica.

[Decentguy]

because deep down you know that you are heading to the wrong direction in life and weed will make your life more miserable in the future, but you dont just realize it now.

[Grayce]

If you feel that way after smoking then stop it, why bother doing something that affects you negatively.

[Sabretooth]

addiction

[Grayce]

@Sabretooth True

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Why bother smoking it if that's how it makes you feel

[Shmoon]

it does the same to me its either that or it doesn't get me high but when it does it makes me that way

[MlleCake]

That's simply how the drug affects some people.

[LeaLee]

It effects each person differently

[pizzalovershouse]

Cuz it effect your rationing cuz your high

[TheNephilim]

Because that's what it does.

[gowtham12]

[Sabretooth]

[Anonymous]
