You know, I used to be one of those people who got paranoid on pot, but that was back in the dark ages where like UT said, people would sometimes have to smoke 3 joints to get high. With the stronger varieties available today, a few hits give me a nice buzz without any paranoid response. I prefer sativa, myself, but if you go into a medical marijuana dispensary here in Colorado, there's an array of products available, carefully grown and prepared to meet your every need. Or so the dispensary owner claims.
