There’s no such thing as a pharmacological free lunch.
Some people just react badly although a lot is mindset and setting. My father can’t even get near cannabis because he says it makes him feel like he’s disappearing and isn’t a real person anymore.
I stopped using Cannabis several times because my mindset and setting were less than optimal but I was also pretty much stoned 24/7 except for work times (and I believe this was a big part of my problem)
I also had to learn to let the plant work and not try to hold on to the days problems and concerns. I would fight sooooo damn hard not to let whatever was bothering me go (or to quote Pacific Rim I chased the rabbit) and ended up paranoid.
This is the system I came up with. YMMV
- take one and only one puff
2 ) wait
3)if I feel relaxed and slightly euphoric then I continue if not & my internal
wheel starts spinning I take a walk or a shower or play some games or whatever.
If I feel better I try again…or not. The most important thing is not to beat yourself up.
As far as strains go… some people say sativas will make you paranoid if you are apt to be that way and others say it’s bullshit. YMMV
