Dear TDZ,
I'm a retired hippie, and I can tell you that, back when a whole bunch of folks smoked pot, there were always a few that couldn't stand the effects. I'm one of them. I used to get paranoid. I just couldn't "let go" and relax with the slowing-down effects of the drug. When I first tried it, I was with a very protective boyfriend, he arranged for a quiet room with music I liked, it was late in the day, and we smoked together and just laid back and relaxed. I did not have a bad reaction and loved how it made me feel. But gradually, especially in social situations, or in broad daylight trying to do "normal" things like going into a quick stop, well, I was miserable. So, in those instances, I finally had to just turn down a toke, saying it made me paranoid. You can say it makes you too dizzy, perhaps.
