I'm just curious. Apparently only some people have had negative reactions to weed like paranoia, anxiety and fast heart rate. Have you had any bad experiences?

I haven't smoked pot, but my friends don't get anxiety.  They just go into some deep philosophical bullshit while munching down snacks.

Sometimes. A large part of how drugs affect you stems from what your mental state was prior to taking them.

You can get paranoid from something as simple as beer if you're already set up for it.

I want to be able to enjoy weed but I keep having bad experiences. For example, I had only two hits from a blunt and my heart started racing, and as I become aware of this it only snowballed the anxiety effect to the point where I just had to sit in the shower and wait for it to go away.

I... don't know. Maybe you just need to work at it. If you can't relax while stoned in the shower, where can you relax?

Not all experiences have been bad, but it's really easy for me to smoke more than I can handle, and it just becomes a negative thing. I have smoked about 10 times in my life.

I neither fear, nor despise.
A coworker of mine stopped smoking weed because he got caught by the police, has to take a class.
All his "smoking friends" left him. That's garbage right there.

Weed will increase your heart rate anyway, whether or not you're anxious. I've felt paranoid before, but only in some cases. Otherwise weed's all gud
