Is it normal to start panicking from just one puff of weed?

I have never been able to enjoy weed, my heart always beats fast and I feel like I will have a stroke or heart attack at any second. Even if I take a single puff I find myself grinning in front of the mirror to make sure that my grin is not lopsided (as can happen from a stroke). Even on those rare occasions where I don't feel like I'm having a heart attack or stroke, I just feel general discomfort and the feeling that something bad is about to happen in my body in a few minutes. Is it possible for me to ever enjoy weed at all? I feel envious of people who are able to relax and sleep after smoking weed - I feel like I'm missing out. Thanks.

    I’m the same way, I’ve never been able to enjoy pot for the exact same reason. I would suggest trying small amounts of sativa instead of indica. Indica makes me EXTREMELY paranoid where small amounts of sativa makes me giggly, laughing and relaxed.

    If you're in a legal state, consider getting something with about 10% THC from the CBD section. I'm very sensitive to THC too and it's what I've had to do when visiting CO.

    Weed can make you paranoid. It’s a common side effect.

    When I smoke, I get uncomfortable around people lol. I'll be so into my thoughts that I'll miss what's going on around me and when everyone starts laughing I feel like they're talking about me. Or I'll think too deep about what people are saying and twist it into a way where I'll feel like its somehow something negative about me...
