For me, the paranoid/anxious/fixated type of high can be a feature, not a bug. I try to meditate when it happens. Marijuana can be a tool to exaggerate the way you're feeling about mistakes, shortcomings, and flaws you perceive in yourself, and when you're not high, you can assess what to do about how you're feeling. It's helped me make peace with my self image, and forced me to confront negative habits and patterns in my life. Drugs can be great to poke and prod your psyche and help with questions like "why do I think or feel like this?" Identifying things in your environment that trigger anxiety or paranoia can also make your home a more comfortable and cozy place. When your perception is altered, it's an opportunity to learn new things. The new perspective can be a valuable tool for becoming a better version of yourself.
