My name is Tyler Chisdell. I'm the founder and CEO of Pinnacle Peak Recovery. We're an addiction treatment center in Scottsdale, Arizona. So let's break it down. Stimulants. Drugs like cocaine and meth can lead to intense paranoia, especially during the come down phase after prolonged use. Behaviors exhibited from this paranoia could be peeping through the blinds or thinking people are after them. Cannabis. While not universally experienced, some strains, particularly those that are high in THC, can cause paranoia and heightened anxiety in some users. Hallucinogens. Substances like LSD, PCP, or even magic mushrooms can cause heightened paranoia as part of a larger pattern of altered perception and thinking. MDMA. Ecstasy produces a feeling of closeness and euphoria, but it can also produce paranoia when taken with high doses or combined with other substances. Synthetic marijuana. Sometimes known as K2 or Spice. These are lab-created substances that mimic the effects of THC found in cannabis. They are much more unpredictable and can result in extreme paranoia or even hallucinations. Basalts. This synthetic substance can cause intense paranoia, hallucinations, or even violent behavior. Inhalants. Chemicals found in products like aerosol sprays or paint thinners can lead to extreme paranoia when abused. There's also some prescription medications like benzos or sleep aids. When they're abused, they can lead to feelings of paranoia. If you notice someone who's paranoid and you think they're abusing drugs, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
