Is it normal to get a panic attack when you drink and smoke weed?

I prefer drinking so if I end up smoking cause the people I'm with smoke, I have to make sure to have my drink to have a good time. However it doesn't turn out so well afterall. I feel the high but then I feel this burned pain in my chest and I don't know I begin panicking like I can't stop moving and I have to sit down to relax but I'm still shaking and taking deep breaths because if I let myself freak out I feel like I'm going to explode any minute based on my worst experience with weed. So now I know not to let myself freak out but that doesn't stop me from being in a panic mode. What's weird though is the first time I smoked I had some whiskey and it was the most beautiful thing I ever experienced so why not now? Does it depend what kind of alcohol you drink with weed? Or does this happen with weed by itself and it's not the alcohol?

    I use to smoke weed and I developed panic syndrome. There's a book u can buy called living with it, helped a lot. It is weed by it's self and alcohol by it's self. The last time I smoked weed I though I was gonna throw up so I went out side and my friends followed and I didn't vomit they said I fainted then started twitching!?! Weed can give u all sorts of mental problems. It's fun for a while until u realize what ur really doing! When ever I smell weed I panic it is an instinct I hate it!

    Weed can cause paranoia and the like, panic attacks could be an extension of this? I'd recommend to stop the weed, but I'd always recommend to stop the weed, so take what you will from that.

    i can't smoke weed anymore because it makes me super paranoid/panicky, but back when i could, i could never mix weed with alcohol or i'd feel horribly ill.

    U hear people on here saying don't smoke weed anymore, others will say do what u feel but u gotta understand that the weed isn't what it used to be way back when. I'm more or less goin thru what u are going thru. Weed can cause panic/anxiety based on how you're feeling before u smoke. Best of luck to u

    I know people with problems like yours. Completely normal. Just all depends on brain chemistry.

    Weed and alcohol compound on each other in horrible ways. Smoking too much after drinking left me puking in some guys bushes because the world was hurtling though space too fast and I got horrid vertigo... Smoking and drinking is a touchy thing. I learned my lesson, use caution. And remember you don't calculate safety as much when intoxicated ;p

    it's because of the combination of alcohol and weed. I myself get really sleepy when i drink 1-2 beers and smoke 1 joint, but i also know people like you who really freak out.
    My advice: choose one thing for the night! Somethimes you drink, sometimes you smoke! :D

    Why let your friends pressure you into something you seem like you do not enjoy? Never mind, my argument will go unheeded anyway. Smoke weed and drink booze. Whatever makes you happy.

    I get this too, even though I don't smoke much at all. I suppose I'll have to stop all together

    Sounds like your having a panic attack but doesn't have to do with what you are using! I have panic attacks and sometimes have them when using but I think it's happening cause your thinking about it which is causing you to freak out and then PANIC! Just chill man and enjoy yourself. It's not normal to panic just cuz of drugs man... Go see a dr and have him prescribe you something for panic!!!!
