Last year I went to a weed shop and picked up an eighth of indica, was like $30. First thing I noticed was it seemed a bit week compared to my friends weed. Then each bowl was different. The forth I started hearing shit in my head, felt like my heart was racing. In my 50 years of smoking I've never encountered this experience until this shop weed.

Long story short it's not the weed but (IMO) it's something they add to the weed.

    Indica is its own thing. What they used to call "speed weed" or "loco weed", what African warriors smoked before going out to do serious mayhem.

    Interesting, https://www.healthline.com/health/indica-strains "Traditionally, indica strains are associated with more of a body high that makes you feel relaxed. They’re often recommended for people seeking strains to help with pain, insomnia, nausea, or poor appetite."

    and I smoke it to sleep so, how can a strains used to relaxed and recommended for people seeking strains to help with pain, insomnia ?. I don't buy you comment at all.

    Paranoia highs and bad reactions to certain substances. People can have paradoxical effects from any substance.

    As I said In my 50 years of smoking I've never encountered this experience until this shop weed. And A paradoxical reaction or paradoxical effect is an effect of a chemical substance, typically a medical drug.

    I've had paranoia highs nearly every time that I've consumed something with THC.

    THC is a chemical, and it's one of the many different constituents that make up marijuana. Marijuana is prescribed for medical purposes in some areas, and would be considered a controlled substance.
