That’s the biggest reason I don’t smoke weed anymore. The paranoia it brings on far outweighed any enjoyment of it. Fear of getting busted can put your head in a bad place, and it was not worth the risk.
Never did acid either. In spite of thirty Grateful Dead shows, and being a big fan of psychedelic art, the thought of uncontrollable hallucinations terrifies me. Three 60s music legends- Syd Barrett, Skip Spence, and Roky Erickson, tattooed their brains on acid and never came back. All at the age of 22.
Don’t need it, don’t want it.
