Like weed hate panic attacks

Yes it is normal -it is a well documented side effect. Unless you like anxiety for some weird reason - give it up. Save a bunch of $ too.

no, weed doesn't really always make you mellow... and i can sort of relate.

just stop smoking :) you'll be fine. i never got panic attacks, per se, but bad, unpleasant trips that i always wanted to sober up from. the last time i got high (4 months ago) i regretted not having had booze instead just because i hated the feeling i had.

I have had soooo many panic attacks smoking weed over the years that I continue to be amazed by the fact that I wanted to smoke that shit for such a long time. Typical scenario: I've just had some beer at a party and I am now good and buzzed. I enter a room with people passing a bowl. I sit and take hits with them, chatting, etc. Suddenly I am unable to put anything around me into a real context of any kind. Peoples' lips are moving, words are coming out, but it makes no sense. My heart races. Everyone but me seems dandy.
For every 1 amazing moment I ever had smoking reefer, I had to have 5 miserable, terrified moments. Those panic attacks are more than anyone, ANYONE can handle. I wish I had never touched weed, even after all the cool ideas I had while I got high...

DUDE!! SAME HERE!! i use to smoke everyday, all day, for like 5 years. then one day i started smoking a Bowl, waited until i was flying high. BAM!! i started freaking out SO BAD! like my heart wouldnt stop pounding, i started getting nervous, sweating, everything. i couldnt wait until i was sober again. My friend had to calm me down, i was close to crying because i was thinking i was gonna have a heart attack. So i ripped off my Bra, and my shirt thinking it was like cutting off my air supply and sh*t. UGH i was sooo relieved i wasnt high anymore..since then i havent smoked ( 1 year ago ).. soo i totally know what you mean.. now i just take painkillers haha.

ME AND MY HUSBAND USED TO SMOKE WEED DAILY FOR YEARS BEFORE HE STARTED TO GET PANIC ATTACKS ,THEN A FRIEND WHO SMOKES WEED AND CALLS HIM SELF HARDCORE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY AND SAID ONLY THE WEEK MINDED SUFFER WITH PANIC ATTACKS ,A YEAR OR SO LATER HE STARTED TO SUFFER WITH THEM AND WAS CONVINCED THAT HE HAD A HEART DEFECT ,WENT TO THE DOCTORS AND HAD A HEART MONITER PUT ON HIM FOR 48 HOURS BEFORE HE WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG ,IT CAN HAPPEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE WHO GET THEM AND THEY ONLY GET WORSE ,MY ADVICE IS HAVE A DRINK INSTEAD

I had the worse panic attack smoking weed.. Like I swore I was gonna die, I didn't know where I was(even though I was only around the corner from my house) I even started praying.. Lol panic attacks are the WORSE.. I threw up in the end because I was so freaked out.. My boyfriend had to calm me down.. My best advice is to stop smoking.. I can almost guarantee you it will keep happening.. It's funny now that I think of it because I feel like an idiot

If you can obtain a medical card there are strains now that are very high in CBD % and low in THC %. THC is the chemical component that gives you the mind high (aka can make you trip out especially from strains with high thc potency). CBD is the chemical that gives you more of body high/buzz, helps you sleep, and relieves pain. Has also been shown to relieve anxiety/scizophrenia symptoms. While I don't have a medical card, I have read up that these high % CBD strains don't make people paranoid.... Anybody have experience?

Somebody help me out, i love weed

So, its not the weed? Its the smoke?
...or doesnt it depend on what type of weed, (sativa, indica)?

I can relate to almost all of the stories above. I smoke Green for 3 years starting when i was 17. I smoked once last year and like everybody else said. My lungs felt like my cloths were keeping air out of them, so i took my shirt off. I kept pacing around my room wondering wtf did i just smoke. But one things that weirds me out is that i tried to cut back and/or quit just for a little while times before this and couldnt, yet after this shit happened i didnt have a problem, i was so freaked out. I went to the doc and he gave me every test he could think off. I checked out. So i havnt smoke in a yr sense then. My after affects of this were panic attacks for awhile, side pain, and awkward chest pain, like somthing was racing from left to right in my chest (pointing that out to the doc was awk). But i do confess, the times i smoked were the when i was stressed or even not. but no i struggle with shit like driving dt (from a subberb) when i feel uncomfortable with my surroundings my hands start to sweat, mind races and my breathing shortens. Do i start to see a therapist for anxiety??? or wtf do i do...

I found a cure for my panick attacks. It does not work for everyone but when i take a vyvanse(add pill) it calms me dodwn when high and i can enjoy it again.

Smoke more till you get used to it.

STOP smoking weed, i know this sucks to many because they have never had problems with weed and really enjoy and now that u just want to get high u cant, but its for ur own good. SECOND for those who really want to smoke their is hope. what im about to tell you take into very very deep consideration because it can be fatal if abused , there's a medicine called alprazolam more commonly know as XANAX , what this medicine is used for is ANXIETY DISORDERS witch every one here seems to have, what u do if u have never used this before is take 0.5mg witch is the lowest dose 30min before smoking ,for some people that are over 180 lbs taking a little more so it can have its effects is better. so what this medicine dose it dose lower ur blood pressure so we already talked about this and what can happen but since ur not using huge quantities of it ur fine simple drinking a coke if u feel really down and sleepy fixes the problem, its a downer so it calms u down relaxes u and dose not let ur heart rate shoot up, so when u smoke weed ur heart rate dose not go up so this means no panic attack or paranoia. ur heart will not race and you will not feel like ur dieing or any of that, so u can enjoy ur weed and not have to deal with it. okay last part i know this was way long but trust me this will work , i personally have tried it and i don't like to self medicate but im medical student and i know what im talking about and the risk of taking this and it was my choice to do this so i did and it worked wonders i was able to be calm and smoke weed and not feel like im having a heart attack. OKAY LAST THING< PLEASE PLEASE be careful with this medication to much of it and u can die from respiratory failure , and it is a control substance and it is addicting , and you do need a prescription for it .again I don't advice this option but if ur desperate then go for it, be safe and i hope this well help some of you

Okay I am going to try and explain this as easy as i can, this happens to a lot of people and its not because the weed is bad, ur crazy, or ur dealer laced it, ITS BECAUSE you have an anxiety disorder , now hold on let me explain, some people may have an anxiety disorder and not even know it , u ask yourself hmm thats a load of bull , im not a jittery person i dont worry alot how do i have it? , its cause by many things could be chemical imbalance of the brain, (i am not going to get into the chemical part if u wish to know more just email me) or medications that u are prescribed too, supplements u might take to enhance ur physical appearance, diet pills that have amphetamines, or the use of any drug like X, Cocaine , crack , speed. okay now that we have that down let me explain why. What these substances do is they alter ur metabolism , what dose this mean/? it means that ur body speeds up, ur diet , ur heart, so thats why when u see an addict using any of these drugs, they are thin , and its not because they do not eat its becuase their body it altered so all the food is digested and burn immediately and for that to happen your body works harder like your heart and liver. so ur body gets used to this and adapts like all living things so ur body is in race mode even tho u dont feel it, and as soon as u take that hit one thing leads to another first ur heart rate increase from 20-50 beats next its like mixing downers with uppers , when u smoke weed ur blood pressure is low but ur heart rate is high, so ur more prone to having a heart attack, so when people say no ones ever died of smoking weed its true weed didn't cause u to have the heart attack, having ur blood pressure low and heart rate up those. and it happens to people having these types of problems with weed (panic attacks) so i recommend for those that have this problems i have 2 options for you.

oops i mean yes that is norm,al;

Only time I ever got that stoned was when I was younger . Jim Fry got me sp stoned he wouldn't take me home for 2 hours because He was afraid I'd be seem by my mother.

I get the same thing! I LOVE WEED As well but when i smoke it i'm just not as 'calm' as everyone else. I smoked it for three years straight suffering thru the on and off attacks- smoking it alone is my only option now, but lately i just gave up on it all together - maybe it just wasnt meant for me

I'm not sure what it is,but the same thing happened to me.When I was a teen I used to smoke everyday.Then suddenly I would freak really bad and have horrible panic attacks where I thought I was dying or people wanted to kill me.
I think sometimes the THC can make people overly paranoid...
I quit using it and got put on xanax for a while.

Yeah, i've smoked for 6 years, and then this one day i got high you know enjoying it, BAM! i started having a panic attack, felt like my heart was gonna explode and i began sweating and i couldnt sit thinking it was gonna get worse, for me when i get a panic attack i like to go somewhere cooler like the bathroom because their is all this tile and stuff and when i get all hot and freaking out, i dont think my body would pump so much blood lol. so i just quit..eh i couldnt stand getting high knowing that was gonna happen again, so whatever..try some other downers!! haha

IDK

SO I used to smoke weed and when I first started I smoked a lot, all the time and with no problems. Actually it never bothered me until about a year ago when I started having the same issue. My heart would race-my head would pound- it felt like my chest was caving in- and sometimes it only took one hit... It happened out of the middle of nowhere too- Everything in my life started to fall into place- great new house, new job, new boyfriend, but for some reason I had horrible attacks over practically nothing everytime I even thought about it. I don't know. I passed out a few times over it.I used to try to go to sleep after smoking and convince myself that I wasn't going to stop breathing in my sleep... I can still smoke on occasion- but I found it better not to. I don't like feeling out of control of my body.

Too bad man, I'm sorry to say it, but maybe your body just can't handle hashish... Its very different from person to person how they react to the THC, a friend of mine used to smoke the weed, and he started falling into sleep right after a joint, so he quitted, and Im sorry to say it, but maybe you should too? Or just have a break at least... Do you smoke alone or with others? Maybe you need to change your friends, I dont know, I just hope you make it alright m8... :)

The pot you are getting from your supplier has some other drugs in it. I suggest finding someone who isn't a complete basturd.

wft? I thought weed made you more mellow. Can you imagine how panic-y you would be without it?

Stop smoking or one day you are gonna wake up death, it happen to my cousin :(
