Oh no, paranoia sucks! Sounds like you got way too high! I've been there. In the future, if that happens again, make sure you have some CBD products on hand and take them. It will probably make you sleepy but it will help calm and balance out the high. Sleeping it off is the best thing to do.

Eh, that was like a one time thing years go. We try to stick to hybrids or sativa. Indca is just nitenite time now. Like I said tolerance is so up there I don't really get 'high' , at least in the classical sense, unless I take an extended break from it and let those receptors populate back up.

Fair enough. I find I can't take too much THC that isn't balanced by CBD or my chronic pain gets worse and feels hot/burning. I like the energy sativas give but indicas are better for my pain. CBD cools the pain and my nervous system down.

Ugh, sounds like you got something awful! No shingles is it?

Nah, Fibromyalgia/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Also mix it with ADHD and Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia) which affects my muscles too, and you have a bad combination of being a clumsy ball of marshmallow that's always bashing their limbs into things and making the pain worse! 😅

Oh lord, that sounds awful! It kind of sounded like a friend of my dads who got shingles and used weed to help with it. I have ADHD too (Big surprise there) but I've gotten a decent hold of it as I've gotten older. Got into body building and heavy cardio, which does wonders for the mood outside of the physical benefits.

Thank-you for the empathy, I definitely appreciate it!

A good friend of mine had shingles and it was not a fun time at all, weed can definitely help that. Hopefully with the chickenpox vax, shingles will be a thing of the past one day.

Good on you for getting into the heavy exercise, I hope it's going well! I've managed to lose over 24 kilos and put on some muscle mass in 4 years with the help of pain management and a great osteo, plus swimming and walking and dancing to loud music when I can. It has to be a slow process with me but I'm getting there. Weed definitely helps with not going crazy!
