I would say the same thing, to a certain extent, that cannabis just helped me become more intuned with who I am a person. It always stimulated ideas for me, helped my words and imagery come better to me, and in turn helped me be more aware about myself.

I have never had paranoid problems in my early usage, ironically. But the last years having personal problems when I started smoking heavily again this year I did encounter some paranoia. I put something in my head over and over. Pondering on this, I felt as though the reason I got paranoid about this particular subject wasn't because of the cannabis itself, but because of my fear. The next time I smoked, I didn't try and fight my problems, but instead, let my mind explore it, and it never bothered me again after that.

I think that people can underestimate the powerfulness of cannabis, it's not shrooms or DMT, but it can still have extremely powerful insights if you let it. I find to do this though I have to seperate myself from people or anything that might distract me, like tv or the computer, and just isolate myself, or else I won't usually get anyting from it.
