If marijuana has a negative effect on you, well, don't smoke it. Although, you may get along with different strains if you ever wanted to explore it. For me there's the high, of course, but it also makes me feel relaxed and reduces any anxiety I may have vs. the opposite of causing a panic attack. My anxiety levels are pretty much nil now since doing this diet/treatment protocol, so I barely smoke any at all for those purposes anymore.
Good luck with the fridge! Meh, at least it gives you a reason to have some communication with someone outside your home.

I communicate with people outside of my home every day as I am rarely in. I still have not mastered the art of finding maintainable friendships yet though (I really don't like the company of people just for the sake of having company..I only like the company of those I find interesting or with whom I have something in common...I've not found anyone I can form a connection with yet. It is important that the connection be there or I won't maintain the social commitments needed to keep the friendship going especially as I don't like being around humans just for the sake of it and like to spend a lot of time doing my own thing).
I prefer not to chase highs. I prefer contentment and am able to achieve such feelings from doing something enjoyable, satisfying and fulfilling. High's only result in a low (or a crash) and that makes for a roller coaster ride emotionally. That is not preferable to me. Contentment is generally more stable and is closer to what I would call happiness. High is just a chemical overload of sorts.
