(Entirely my opinion) Its important to note that alcohol and weed have exactly opposite effect on brain: where alcohol dulls you and make things matter less, weed can make you overly focus on your thoughts, more than a sober you would consider appropriate. This can lead to paranoia, because the first whif of it sends you on a spiral where you think about it, and that usually makes you even more paranoid. It is a form of mild psychosis. "The cur" is you have to realize that while your thoughts are valid and about real things (something real made you paranoid in the first time), the magnitude of your reaction is currently being altered by a drug. This allows you to take control of your emotions/feelings and allows you to logically reason about your current mind state. This skill you _have to_ learn to overcome paranoia/psychosis on weed, and it is much harder to effectively practice while under weed influence. But on the other side, once you do, you can practice it while sober too, and that alone improved my mental health long term. It is a psychoactive, and with high doses you can even start seeing your vision pulsate and shapes morphing. If you were hearing things and had psychosis, you definetly had way higher dose than you should have. If you try again, give yourself 15 mins between single puffs.
