This website link is about why you get paranoid from weed which is why it is important and how to prevent that and do proper weed so that is it enjoyable.

https://www.clear-uk.org/the-importance-of-matured-cannabis/

From that article.

THC D9 is a potent stimulant and if plants are cropped too early, any cannabis will have little or no CBD and will only provide a very stimulant high, whilst not every cannabis user finds this adverse, many do, it is well known that a lot of novice or infrequent users who use cannabis which is immature, as in, were one to look, the capitate trichomes would be all clear, not all cloudy/milky or with a good ratio of amber coloured trichomes, but clear as crystal, will have a paranoid reaction, become confused, they will have physiological experiences such as heart palpitations and some break out into a sweat from elevated physiologicals, some start to have panic attacks.

The first, is commercial cultivators, aka, “cashcroppers” who are entirely focused on cultivating cannabis purely for profit and it is sad that many of these know damn well that there is a point of diminishing returns in the latter stages of development in the cannabis flowering cycle, where plants stop growing, they cease to put any more energy into increasing bud mass, which is weight, which is the saleable product after being dried, so many crop at that point, when the plant is pretty much at maximum weight for whichever commercial strain, they know this is a point when trichomes are mainly clear, depending on strain, clear into milky.

As you can see, emphasis is on yield, on the clear trichomes, but that also equates to completely raw THC D9 and totally stimulant with practically no other compounds present to round off the potent stimulant effects, then they state “cloudy” which is as they say the up and heady high, then the ambering, then they say about the mix of cloudy/amber.

But as I say, at the point of diminishing returns, the plants will have pretty much reached their maximum bud mass and weight, with most commercial strains, trichomes will be clear mainly and a small ratio of cloudy, or milky as I prefer to say, and that means fully stimulant, with no oxidase terpenoids or CBD/CBV etc to round off the high, not to mention the full personality and indeed beneficial qualities medicinally speaking, are not present either, the majority of the active compounds derive from latter stages of oxidisation.

It is at that stage, clear mainly, into milky, which makes a large amount of cannabis users feel paranoid and gives them adverse effects, and we all know, that paranoia, is a main psychological component in psychoses.


Raw, un-oxidised THC, acts on the brain receptors, in a similar way to amphetamines and prolonged use of amphetamines does trigger psychosis, especially in conjunction with long periods of sleep deprivation. An effect of raw THC is it will deprive people of proper sleep because it over rev’s the brain and chemicals usually produced by the brain during sleep periods which induce dream state are not produced properly and this leads to the detrimental effects as the cumulative consequences of over stimulating neurochemicals takes hold and the brain essentially snaps and misfires more and more, so a psychotic episode, even if they do get their heads down for a few hours through fatigue, if they use a lot of unripe cannabis with raw THC, they will be unlikely to achieve REM states, and that in regards to potential psychosis, is what matters, waking up again after a brief sleep period without REM may restore some physical energy, but then frequent users of unripe cannabis will drink that coffee etc, have another wake and bake spliff etc, and so the REM deprived person goes on and on day after day until that snap occurs, that, is what can seriously cause a psychotic episode especially when stress factors like troubled relationships, or familial difficulties, money worries, employemnt difficulties, prolonged personality clash dynamics etc and for example, are present and serve as triggers.

It is entirely true, CBD is anti-psychotic as much as is sedative, so plants with a decent ratio of CBD will do the exact opposite, it will allow the brain to achieve REM states properly and balance the stimulant THC D9 so the brain doesn’t ‘over rev’ too much.

I may like a bit of immature cannabis, many do, but too many people do have adverse reactions with unripe cannabis with raw THC and unless the consumer demographic knows they like it, they should only be sold cannabis which has matured to %30 (plus minus %10) with a choice of an earlier cropped product where trichomes are just about to turn amber, the clear and energetic high from milky trichomes is good when the trichomes are just starting to turn amber, up to %5.

There is nothing wrong with people using cannabis with clear or milky trichomes if they state a preference, because not everybody will use it regularly enough to develop the potential mental heath issues with constant use of raw THC. Some are not prone to ill effect and suited to speedy highs and other stimulant drugs and indeed many like the very stimulant high it gives, but it should be as a preference, on request from regulated vendors or those hobby cultivating at their own risk, general consumption people should use herb cultivated when around %30 amber and **cured**.

Curing allows for a further period of oxidation of active compounds and that is beneficial to a cannabis user on several levels. People also tend to use less if properly mature and well cured because the active compounds do everything they should do and is a superior high/stone than cannabis just cropped and dried for sale, very different to immature cannabis which tends to be a shorter lasting high and people use more as the brain tries to keep stimulated and this often leads the user to use too much, a common issue with speed actually and again a similarity between raw THC D9 and amphetamines. Curing is a necessary part of the process, something which is fast being forgotten in commercial weed terms.

So yeah make sure your resin is milky white with a bit of amber then, you will have proper weed then which will never make you paranoid.

Hi all am new to this forum anyways this is what i have to say, please add regarding what you know about cannabis as well.

This is what i have learnt regarding cannabis.

First off you will need cannabis plant food which i recommend > Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part A+B Soil Amendments

Next you will need a microscope with at least 100 magnifcation to check the trichomes/resin if the trichomes/resin is transparent this weed will make you paranoid as hell, if done properly where the trichomes/resin is milky white with a bit of amber since when the trichomes/resin turn milky white then once that is done they then turn amber, amber trichomes/resin is where you get medical effects from cannabis.where it makes you relaxed etc too much amber trichomes/resin then you will experiance couch lock.

I like to point out though when the trichomes/resin is milky white with a bit of amber this weed will never make you paranoid as hell.

I recommend you buy the cannabis strain called blue dream you can buy these legally and collect them, the only bit is that if you germinate these seeds you are breaking man made laws and is a crime apparently.

First off plant the seed in soil and you away germination done.

Let the plant grow for so and so long time after 3-4 weeks it is time to use plant food.

once you confirm when the resin/trichomes is milky white with a hint of amber it is time to flush the plant with plain water for 2 weeks to make the smoke less harsh and bring out the flavour.

once done chop the plant up then dry for 7-14 days once done when the buds snap it is time to put them into jars.

Fill jars up to half level then open once a day for 10 minutes.

Voila you are done.

The more dry the buds are the more thc effect you will get out of your weed.

For very first time growers i recommend purple haze auto from originalseedsstore

For the microscope to check the resin i recommend this > Carson MicroBrite Plus 60 -120x LED Lighted Pocket Microscope

For drying the weed use a washing line and then attach the stems with buds on onto the line and wait at least 7 days and checking to see if the bud snaps or not.

For plant food, use Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Sensi Grow Part A+B Soil Amendments, 500ml during the growth stage then when the plant flowers use Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part A+B Soil Amendments, 500ml this is for the soil, every 1 liter you add 5ml to the water can, when the water can is empty put the plant food in first then water after that so that it is done properly, you add both a + b together mixed that is, so if you have a 3 litre water can you put 3 times 5 ml of part a into the can and then add part b same as part a put in 3 times 5ml again then water afterwards.

Well that is what i do anyways, regarding purple haze auto, it is a forgiving strain and easy to grow and the growth is likely to be completed around about 3-6 months varying on your growing equipment or not and use natural sun light etc as if you grew outside whichever.
