PARANOIA LEVELS ~ Heathy -vs- Excessive

[Guest]

I was wondering what you ICer's would consider "normal" paranoia ?

I feel we should all have a higher sense of awareness for security reasons if growing or dealin with the sacred herb, but wheres the fine line between healthy alertness & over excessive worry/stress fall for you ??



Thx, LBM

LOL at "healthy paranoia", funny concept, don't you think? :wink:

I've been known to bust three quick lefts or rights if I ever get a funny feeling while driving; see if any cars follow me on my illogical path.

I always look over my shoulder... That's about it these days. Life's too short to be overly paranoid. If you're covering your tracks and don't shoot your mouth off to ANYONE, who's tripping? Paranoia isn't usually unfounded but it'll consume you if you let it.

I try to keep logic some where in the scenario...

I have found that you can learn to live with fear.

 

[SouthernGuerila]

paranoia is illogical fear.

like being afraid of a great white shark busting down your front door and shooting you...

most say paranoia is why their still alive... haha

Paranoia is a healthy state of mind when people are out to get you.

Ru Looking for Ran inducing sats. Need to get some adrenaline into your life.
Some indicas numb your emotions. thats why some love them.
Two tokes and looking out the curtains with the noids.

I know its cliche but you aren't paranoid if they are really following you. Also I would like to add to that if they have followed you or have reason to currently follow you. Now how you publicly behave while being paranoid thats a different story,...

Paranoia can save lives, if you feel like you are too paranoid lay off the sativa and see a shrink.

yeah paranoia can drive you mad! It definitely drives me mad but after years you learn to live with it....i used to be paranoid my grow being busted ...but these days its more visions of walking up my road with house ablaze neighbours out and fire engines...thats what makes me paranoid!...i better lay off this haze!....and looking like a bearded long haired pot head doesnt help my paranoia levels!

If things you are paranoid about hold you back from stuff in life, and they've never come back to bite you in the ass, stop letting them hold you back.

Cover your tracks and tell nobody... And it's all good.

It's all relative, but for me, getting up to look out the window because I hear a car coming down my street or see headlights is excessive. Looking out the window EVERY TIME the smart dog barks is a healthy level.

Paranoia can be severely reduced with planning/precautions

Got to thinking, what about marked bills..? In this day and age, it's definitely a reality that people should be concerned about if you're handling a lot of cash. I usually change it out at multiple sleezy places not too long after copping it, is that healthy or excessive? I consider it covering my tracks... But someone may think otherwise? Cops around here are known to do the shit and do illegal busts...

ozzy said it best:

Finished with my woman cause she couldn't help me with my mind!
people think i'm insane because I am frowning all the time!

All day long I think of things
but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me, occupy my brain?
Oh yeah!

I need someone to show me
the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true
happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh
and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words
telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but it's too late

 

[LiLWaynE]

that song is paranoid by ozzy or black sabbath, not sure...

anyways, theres another song about paranoia by the kinks called destroyer...

check them out...

paranoia is healthy if you ask me... like someone mentioned, if you play your cards right, paranoia shouldnt be too much of factor...

Paranoia is the result of a government gone bad. I was paranoid once. Now i just don't obey the laws that i don't agree with. Its nice to not give a rats ass.

Getting bigger bills, I usually get the 20's... Always a good idea bro, never know what's lurking around the corner...

Damn, I go to reply and yeah, that was for you though G.

Shit, I added this, but I get takeout a lot too... Put it back in the economy and stay safe at the same time. Know what I mean?
