Is it normal to have panic attacks when getting high

that's really weird.

it happened to me for a bit after smoking, but 2 years isn't normal.

you should really see someone about it.

my friend developed schizophrenia for smoking pot.

It's been horrible. I just don't think counseling could help. I feel like I'm in a different state of reality. No one knows what's going on with me

Ok Ive read all the posts again and everyone on here is dumbass except coqpit77, slick138 and maybe bakerrr. The rest of you,DUMBASSES!!!!!!!!!! and again if weed does all this trippy shit to you people then it aint weed or it's laced with something like slick138 said. My final comment is: If the weed your trying does this to you or the weed you smoke on a regular basis does this to you then you've never smoked just good old fashion weed.

I had like 2 full time panic attacks, out of MANY many many times I've smoked. And they were the 2nd and 4th time I got high. (first four times I've smoked out of a light-bulb which exponentially increases the high, OUT THE WINDOW). 2nd time was messed up, I thought I was stuck in a time-loop and everything seemed to be repeating itself, so that was scary, once I thought I was stuck I wanted to kill myself, but redirected my thoughts, then I wanted to go to white house to inform the president that I was freaking out and to inform people to do good things and not smoke (or too much at least). So I started running fell in snow and thought I had died, I saw flying colors towards me along with geometric symbols. Then my friend picked me up and we went to my room. He put on the song "Map of the Problematique", and I literally tripped, the sound of the song was swirling around (hard to explain), and had some intense auditory hallucinations, and then I laid on my bed and I would shut my eyes, I saw dimmed colors then really vivid peace signs and ying-yang symbols flying towards me, then I envisioned the whole earth with a rag around it, that's when I told my friend "God is showing me the world through a towel" <-- only phrase I remember that I said other than "I think I died and am stuck in time". 2nd time was much less worse but still pretty bad, (caused by the song "fronteer psychiatrist" good song, but tripped me out), won't get into detail, but now I can smoke all the time and it actually helps me with my worries nowadays. Don't worry just smoke less to start out.

Sounds like it was laces with something

You ppl are buzzkills, man. I personally like the trip where I'm hearing shit in the walls and trying to see ghosts in the yard and shit. It's fuckin' awesome.

yeah that happens, my friend hads to quit because of that

I don't think the weed was laced with anything. I smoked for about 6 months on and off and it would happen randomly. No one else would get attacks.

ya i know. it's many people, isn't it? that's weird.. and apparently weed is 'so safe.'

i wouldn't recommend medication!
what i hear, though (if you want to take that route), is that any anti-anxiety meds will work. some people also take anti-psychotics.

i don't know what it is about weed that's doing this to people. maybe it's just the strong strains available now.

If anyone is going through what I'm going through (which I found out is many) I'd like to know what medication is used and what was most helpful.

Thanks guys. I don't think this will ever ge better unless I seek treatment. But I don't think I have money for that right now.

what slimjim said, never smoked but still feel bad work out fuck hos.

it feels fake for a bit, but it's not.

Some drugs when consumed can cause paranoia and panic attacks but you should seek some help, counselling or even just talking to your GP.

If they're doing their jobs properly they won't judge you and will know exactly how to help you.

All you can do is try but sometimes counselling works wonders, I know that myself :) Good luck :)

i had a panic attack last july when i got really high, and now ever scince that day i have them all the time, do NOT smoke weed anymore i had to quit, also go to councling it will help knockk u back into reality i promise.

Dude this happened to me the second time I smoked weed. It felt like my brain was gone and I just felt like shit. But then I smoked again and I came back to reality. Been smoking ever since with no problem. Just try smoking weed again, it heals everything!

best way is to build a tolerance up and put yourself in safe settings with familiar people or alone where you can't scare yourself.

I use to get panic attacks when i smoked, i didn;t smoke for a while, but then i smoked again and DANCED and it helped me get rid of the panics!!!

It wasn't pure weed. It seems like you took weed with PCP. The pure weed can't lead to such effects. I smoke weed about 15 years long and never had such feeling

Dumbass, marijuana isn't a drug. It's a plant that contains thc crystals and THAT is what gets you high. Most people get paranoid as shit when they're high, ask anyone. You just psyched yourself out. I've done it a few times to the point I throw up. Ya shouldn't green out
