[@J-CG]

Once you have that first panic attack from Cannabis it's hard to stop it happening again and again the next few times you get high. Thinking about that first panic attack next time you get high will trigger another attack. Then next time you want to get high your previous 2 panic attacks will be on your mind and.....You see where this is going. I smoked Cannabis heavily for 5 years with no problems. Then out of nowhere one night it caused me to have that first anxiety/panic attack. Really bad chest pains and one of my arms had shooting pains through it. Basically anxiety/panic disguised as the signs of a heart attack. Ever since then I can't get high without getting these "heart attack" symptoms. I thought I was the only one until I read through these comments! In the end I decided to just quit weed altogether. I tried edibles to see if that would change anything but it didn't. Same chest pains and same panic attack. Sucks because I used to enjoy being high! Certain music and TV/KZbin just hits different when you're high 😔 and obviously food. If anyone does end up having an attack try looking up some breathing techniques on KZbin. Helped me last time I got high. Other things I've heard that work are chewing peppercorns, utilizing lemons + their peel or using CBD to counter the THC and help balance you out when you are overly high. Stay safe and remember you're not going to die! You're just high. It will pass and be over soon. Drink some water, take some slow, deep breaths and try to relax. And stop watching videos like this when you're high 🤣 Watching videos about anxiety and panic attacks sounds like a good way to trigger it 🙄 go watch some breathing techniques and listen to some Gunna or D Block Europe! That stuff be hitting different when you're as high as you are 🤣 ✌

This video/comment section have been so helpful. It’s nice knowing that I’m not alone. I’ve had 3 panic attacks due to marijuana use. I had been smoking for a year or so with no issue and then after a large hit, I had an awful panic attack. I tried two times after because I used to really enjoy smoking, but both times I had more panic attacks. I have been struggling with anxiety ever since. I feel that I disassociate or lose focus a lot. I sometimes even feel like my brain is broken because of my marijuana use, but it is completely irrational. I’m still struggling with this, but videos and research like this has been helping. I really appreciate the content.

For me marijuana just doesn’t make me happy, it does the complete opposite for some reason now, it started doing that after I did LSD and MDMA for my first time a few days apart, then I smoked so much weed and ate 3 edibles because I was used to that and I thought I was going crazy, I was freaking out because my mom was about to come home and I was thinking about crazy shit like how I’m trapped in my body and the only way out was to die and what if when you die, your reborned so it just never ends and I was freaking out thinking what if I had some disability like Down syndrome or autism my whole life and my parents were hiding it from me or what if I was an MK Ultra victim or creepy shit like that, luckily when it started going down a few hours later and then when I started feeling normal again, I started to feel really emotional like I was a different person than I was a few minutes ago and I felt like I felt bad for the person o just was because they were just feeling so much pain when they were freaking out even though I was the same person and then I kept feeling like I was going to cry and I started to feel kind of like how weed used to be like I felt that warm tingly feeling a little bit but then everytime I smoked weed after that, it still seems really creepy and I don’t feel happy at all. I just keep telling myself that stuff isn’t as creepy and scary as it seems and I’ll be back to normal soon, hopefully marijuana goes back to normal for me soon because I miss smoking weed so much and I have so much weed that my friend gave me, it used to be where I had no weed and I just wanted to smoke weed so badly, I couldn’t get weed for 6 months once and now that I have like 15 grams and a bunch of edibles and stuff, I can’t do any of it

I promise guys it’s all in your mind your mind is the most powerful thing in your body ,it is the lamp of your body , you have to protect at all cost bc that’s where life flows from .. I went through a panic attack from smoking weed back in February, it is a scary experience but as I would hit the blunt often I use to post February I can really feel my anxiety coming down from having another panic attack .. when you overthink it eats you up my best advice is don’t think about it .. distract yourself, do something you like , it’s not real & it can help you in ways that you don’t even know .. but I’m back to smoking weed not as much but I can smoke comfortably again .. bc I went through the experience of panic it may sound crazy but I’m kinda glad I went through it bc it help me .. just remember it’s all in the mind your not going crazy , hope you feel better , I’m just being real!

there is one way but you may not want to do it. If you take Xanax or Klonopin 20 mins before weed you will enjoy like the old days again. But be careful you don’t want to have your weed addiction back with a Xanax addiction too on top of it, if you can’t keep it to once and a while then you have to let it go.

U accurately hit every point about this topic. From tricking your brain into it, to fear of it happening again to depersonalization in the long run.

[@TayTheGodFather]

How do u do this?

[@supreemcourt9181]

Jah what I personally do is, make sure the people and the environment is comfortable. And in order to control ya heart rate, u have to distract yourself from the panic. So speak to ya friends what ever, say funny shit if u have to, rap or sing a song out loud, or use ya phone to watch video. Point being don’t dwell on the possibility of panic attack ensuing, your mind is gonna run with anything u put focus on

Smoked weed for years, 5 years ago I quit because of severe anxiety and panic attacks, something just switched, I used to love smoking. It’s interesting to see how so many people feel the same. Some people can smoke Forever, we just can’t :( there is a root to our problem. We need to overcome it before we try thc or just don’t do it anymore

[@larrytate1657]

Yes I remember it happened to me after about 5 years of heavy use too and I was the first of my group of friends it happened too and they thought I was weird kinda cause of it. It also was after mushrooms for me too, whether that had anything to do with it ill never know for sure. Now the only way I could enjoy weed is I have to have a Xanax or two klonopins right before it, so needless to say it’s rare I do it now cause of this. Maybe like theee times a year I’ve done this the last couple years. It’s the only cure to enjoy I’ve found but must be careful don’t need a benzo addiction but luckily it’s rare I can even get them anyways,

Consistent smoker for 13 years here. No anxiety, and never experienced panic attacks until about 2 months ago. Had 6 panic attacks back-to-back and ended up in the ER with elevated heart rate, high blood pressure, intrusive thoughts, sense of impending doom, could not stop thinking about mom and dad passing away. It even felt like I was dying, and felt the effects for about a week after I stopped smoking. Almost like psychosis. I started exercising and walking 2 miles a day. I haven't smoked since that last attack but feel excellent now. I miss cannabis every second of every day. It is so strange to see how many folks have dealt with the exact same scenario. I'm going to try again after I have put some time and mileage in between the last attack someday. Could be years though. Best of luck to everyone. It's all in our head.

[@quickpua]

Hey man, I was in the same boat. Try again slowly. I started with Delta 8, the Indica version, which is supposed to calm you down. You can increase gradually until you reach the point that you want to be at. Also, Google and research "stop paranoia using black pepper". Take a few of those with you in the car or whatever, so that if you have any panic attacks outside, you can take them right away. Good luck and enjoy.

[@snownestling]

@@quickpua Hi friendly stranger. Thank you for the words of encouragement. I’ve actually been able to indulge again! I have been using indica strains but very very VERY lightly. Usually a puff or 2 then put it out, wait an hour and do the same with no panic whatsoever. The first few times I attempted, I felt the panicky feeling just a little bit but was able to combat it. Nothing like those first few episodes. I have re-introduced it in to my life and have a brand new relationship with cannabis. I have black pepper on hand just in case! I appreciate the reply.

I have been smoking every day (like I said, small amounts) every day again and will sometimes get uncomfortable but no panic attacks. I find doing it early in the morning when I meditate sets me up for a better outcome if I smoke later in the evening. Don’t do it during the day, because guilt seems to creep in idk why that is. Early in the morning and night after sundown before bed. I have less anxiety that way. Best of luck.

[@damienswan11]

I remember when this first happened to me like it was yesterday. I had recently went from smoking everyday to not smoking at all for about 4 months. The very first bowl back I knew something was way off. I couldn’t focus, my mind was racing and like many of you, my heart rate was sky high. About 30 mins in and I was convinced I had smoked pcp laced bud and was probably going to die. I was shaking so bad my teeth where chattering. This lasted all night. Ruined smoking for me forever, which was the only substance I used regularly and enjoyed. For the next 6 months I thought I had a heart problem and went to the cardiologist to have EKGs and an Echocardiogram, at 18 years old. The doc probably thought I was insane. Long story short, this experience f***** me up for a while. 7 years later and I still can’t enjoy smoking, but this really changed my perspective on what anxiety is and had a big part to play on my decision to study psychology. Good to know that I’m not alone.

I never done weed again i was literally saying ill never do this again. The last 2 other times i had another panic attack was at a restaurant after drinking and at work under stressful workload. Now i suffer from anxiety and i have this fear of getting panic attacks anytime, my biggest fear is I’m afraid to lick my lips constantly because i remember whenever i had my first attack the delay in feeling my lips when i licked or bit them was freaking me out cause i couldn’t feel it my mind was so delayed. Every time i looked around it was all delayed i had no control over my senses whatsoever.

It scared me so bad, I had no control and I felt like it was going to last forever like I was in hell, which made the panic attack worse.

Hey guys just know you aren't alone. I've been smoking weed for 2+ years and I'm just now starting to have panic attacks from my highs. It really is all about your mindset.

You put what I have been struggling with for years into words perfectly. I have never been able to explain this to anyone, thank you.

[@MOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

I had my first panic attack induced by pot first in 1984. It struck again in 86 and 88. It then started everyday without smoking it and screwed my life for many years thereafter. No one even knew about panic disorder. No doctor at an ER, no one. So I felt as if I had some dreaded disease. It wasn’t until the early 90s that I tried Prozac that I found real relief. I also started doing things I was most afraid of, standing in line, driving at night, over long bridges and flying. No of that was easy. But once I broke the cycle, life became almost normal. SSIs really do help. But so does behavior therapy. Although I drive for a living today, I still take Prozac. The only thing to worry about is to not drink alcohol while taking it as boosts the effects of drinking by a lot. Don’t do it.

I don’t smoke for the most part anymore, but I tried picking up a vape pen a few months ago and giving that a try, and I still got that anxious, chest pain, fast heart rate feeling. I’ve been sober but struggling immensely with anxiety these past few months and idkk if I’ll ever smoke again, but if I do I feel so much better just knowing that there are so many people with this same issue. Thank you for the video, and especially thank you guys for the comments. It’s given me a lot to think about

For all the people who still want to get high but have the anxiety, it's the high coming on all at once. I recommend just using a cart or something and taking small hits and building up the high to a state your comfortable with. I've always found going from sober to feeling like my mouth is swallowing itself and someone banging my chest is terrifying.

[@haleysompolinsky4373]

this is gonna sound fucked and a lot of people would consider it depression but the best way to relieve yourself of anxiety is to truly not give a fuck. our biggest fear when we feel anxiety is a panic attack. when we have a panic attack we fear death. really spend time with yourself and try to come to terms with the fact that death occurs to everyone and not to be scared. once you no longer fear death then your panic attacks/ anxiety will lessen. i was diagnosed with panic disorder. went to a therapist and took the meds they told me to take and the meds made me worst off. i ended up getting depressed, paranoid, showed symptoms of borderline personality disorder, adhd, ocd just about everything. i really thought i would have to be institutionalized. panic attacks constantly. so i tried to come to terms with the fact that we’re all gonna die. like i said it sounds depressing but i’m not sad. i’m happy. i feel like i’m living life without anything holding me back.

[@deezhuevos_4202]

After reading shaans book it made me realize that it’s normal that I’m going through anxiety and that I just keep tripping myself out. My mindset changed COMPLETELY. I wouldn’t say that marijuana caused my anxiety, but my stress. I couldn’t even smell weed without it making me trigger my anxiety but after accepting my anxiety I was able to be around weed smoke and after a tolerance break of a month I will give it another go because I am confident, trigger or not, my triggers will not dictate what I want to do and they will not make my decisions. It’s the fear of another anxiety attack that’s holding you back from going back to whatever you did. Whether it’s smoking, going to the grocery store, DO NOT LET YOUR ANXIETY STOP YOU FROM YOUR ACTIONS. do what you want and do it with confidence. It won’t be easy but you WILL overcome your triggers and you WILL get back to your old self. Last night I got rid of my melatonin. Yeah sure my anxiety creeped up on me, but I accepted it and I didn’t get up from bed and started my breathing exercise. I let it be and it went away FAST and I was able to sleep without melatonin. I did GREAT. I’m going to ditch my l-theanine pills now because I’m actually implementing the 5 steps shaun provides for you in his FREE book. Go read it if you havent :) good luck to everyone much love. You WILL overcome this if you truly have faith you will :)

I just had a bad trip from smoking pot last night. I'm not a big consumer of it, my fiancé is though. But when I have smoked it, I usually like the indica, and trying different strains. Well I went into a dispensary yesterday and wanted to get the best, most relaxed indica there was. I got a cartridge refill for my pen. Later in the evening I took little hits here and there, and then I took a bigger hit. I had some dinner, then after I dinner, I had an Altoid. Now this might sound weird, but I swear right after I had the Altoid, within 5 min, I started having that weird feeling. I'm not sure if the Altoid enhanced the affects of the pot, or if it was just the pot itself, but I freaked. I felt like I was having a medical emergency. I was feeling tingly all over and almost numb, including my face. It was a freaky feeling. I thought "Am I having a stroke?" I jumped up threw my shoes on, my fiancé is like "What's wrong?" He started to get up, and I ran outside, and went to the neighbors she was already outside, and I said "I feel like I can't breathe!" She had me sit down on her porch with her and she looked at me, "She said you look fine," and I said "I don't know what's wrong with me." But then I told her I smoked some pot, then she said "Ahhh." She sat and visited with me for awhile until I calmed down. It was embarrassing, but now I know I just got some strong pot. Lol. I don't think I'll be smoking pot again. Lol.

I had my first panic attack a month and a half ago. I was given Prednisone for a sore throat. Now I know that the sore throat was likely allergies along with being anxious about the state of the world but the Prednisone, even at a low dose, made me absolutely and horribly insane. So little sleep. I had two courses and the first day of the second course I landed in the ER after an eight hour panic attack. I had NO idea that's what it was. I left with a prescription for Celexa, which I quit after three days, and Ativan tablets, which are now in the middle of a chunk of concrete. Prednisone messed up my cortisol. Like I said, I was mildly anxious before. I was okay with that. I didn't fight it before. I knew what it was. Now I'm carrying anxiety on the daily with all kinds of physical symptoms and I know that the way out is the same as if I had panic without the Prednisone. Daily letting the panic ride the wave so I can gradually come to pre-Prednisone levels. I sure am learning a lot about myself in this process. Like how far back the mild anxiety goes. And, as an artist, just how creative my brain gets about the thoughts!

I had to have my girl and her mom talk me down all night the other night, having them tell me things like man you're real get out of your head, but no matter what I did I felt as if I was about to be blinked out of existence with this constant state of existential dread constantly hovering over me.

I’ll give you some advice that helped me. Take smaller pulls, drink water before, during, and after you session, but not too much or your stomach will start to hurt, just sip it. Take deep breaths when you feel the panic attack coming on and tell yourself “it’s just the weed, this will pass” IT WILL ALWAYS PASS. I prefer to listen to my favorite slow songs, but just listen to anything that calms you. And DISTRACT DISTRACT DISTRACT!! Watch a movie/show, listen to music, meditate, do anything except think about your heart racing and body tingling.

Best tip, if your having a serious life crisis, don't smoke weed, it doesn't help at all, it will make you overthink until you are having an anxiety attack, its hard if you are a regular smoker, its hard to sleep when you stop, so your left there at 1am thinking about your problem, and wanting to smoke......but don't, it wont help.

[@efectoaloha]

The accuracy of this video is unbelievable. I'll tell my story maybe Someone can relate. I smoked weed for approximately for 3 years from 2013-2016 16 to 19 years old. At first everything was fine and all laughs, but then weed started to affect me differently when I horribly failed at my first year at the university. Then I noticed I felt unconfortable with just one hit. I was overthinking, super self conscious, I thought I had a deeper understanding of the society or the world. Social situations Also started to feel weird. I felt I was judged most of the time and I found myself judging others by mere simple and innofensive comments they might have made. This thoughts and feelings were scaring me since It was the first time I was experiencing them. Then camE the first panic attack. I had a big hit on one very "concentrated" joint. My Heart started Racing, I was shaking, completely pale, dizzy and with nausea., couldnt stand still but neither move. My vision became dark and blurry and negative thoughts of going crazy and losing control of my mind started racing. I Also felt "laggy" in my movements and responses. I managed to walk back home scared and in a hurry. Next week I felt okay but I was worried that the drug could have changed my brain forever and I was curious about what really happened so If started googling. As soon as i read a few articles about weed and brain chemistry I started having my second panic attack and as I didnt know It was a panic attack I was convinced I became terminally insane. Like how am I experiencing similar symptoms if I didnt smoke at all? Then came the anxiety cycle. I struggled with anxiety for half an year, then It simply started to Fade away. Nowadays I am not scared of reading articles about weed and the brain but im definitely still scared of weed itself, even after 5 years. I know I cant smoke It again having this unconscious fear, I know that as soon as I feel the high It might trigger the panic attack. What I still have to a minor degree is the fear of becoming psychotic or schizophrenic (that was my fear back then aswell) but now I know its just anxiety. Things do get better, is just a Matter of understanding yourself ✌️

[@OscarLopez-wj6jb]

I first smoked when I was in seventh grade. I would smoke with my older brother and his friends. I handled it really good. It was super fun. Sometimes I felt relaxed and sometimes everything was so funny. My senior year of high school, which was last year, I smoked 3 times. The first time was during school and I had a pretty good time. My friends made fun of me cuz of how stoned I looked lol. The next time was with my friends and the one after that was with my girlfriend. Those two times were the worst times of my life. The good thing was that they were both during the night so I forced myself to sleep to get rid of the effect. I haven't smoked since. My heart was pumping so fast and I was overthinking my whole life and everything. It was scary. I think this was caused by a change in my personality over the years. When I was in middle school, I was confident and I was the guy to make the whole class laugh and stuff. But as I got older and throughout high school, I was known as the quiet and shy dude. I developed some really bad social anxiety that affects me a lot. I wouldn't be able to tell this to someone face to face. I would just freeze. I've only told this to my girlfriend. And as I struggle, I try to fix it but idk how.

two tips: 1. 3:1 ratio. have cbd on hand. for every 1 hit of high thc concentrated cannabis, take 3 hits of cbd (in either bud or vape form). I would recommend taking two hits of the bud and six hits of cbd for the first half hour. Alot of people mess up with this and get way too high very quickly. Its not a race, and once you build a tolerance - you can take more. This is also helpful for saving money and the most efficient use of the bud you have. 2. Dont hold the high thc bud in for longer than a couple of seconds. Treat it as if it were a cigarette, inhale but don’t continuously hold it in until you stop having anxiety.

I used to smoke a lot before, now I smoke less , like 4 blows, quit the fire of the blunt and wait to another session , and pauses of 2 or 3 days before another session. Another hint is , do something u like, eg, I like to walk, make soft exercises , clean my house, yoga or meditation, activities that I have to focus on something to not have a lot of thoughts on my mind , and if u see ur becoming weird, just think , weed is just like that, it’s okay , why am I overthinking on a moment I should relax and let I go ? Why do I have to take this so serious ? ( my eng is not very good I hope u guys understand )

I had one and i threw up from it

Same

[@pavan.kumar.n]

Same. Happened to me today. Worst trip in my life

[@ogiler]

I never had any anxiety or depression until i had a panic attack from cannabis. Few days after that i fell into that same thought process and have another panic attack and it kept going.

[@MultiWarbird]

Me too :( I’m exactly the same. How are you doing today?

[@ogiler]

@@MultiWarbird These videos and the free book really helped i am no longer concerned about symptoms. I just let them be. my biggest issue is that i got deeply depressed i do not enjoy anything it makes sense in my head because you cannot enjoy anything when you are in fight or flight mode. I used to defend and love cannabis but now i really see that it is dangerous because some people are susceptible and do not realise it. It unlocked that thought process for me teach me how to fell into that anxiety spiral. Anyway i wish you the best and how are doing?

[@MultiWarbird]

@@ogiler yeah I’m depressed too :( it’s good that the symptoms don’t bother you anymore though. These videos do help

[@ogiler]

@@MultiWarbird Just thinking about that experience skyrocketed my anxiety. It might be a form of PTSD. I mean panic attack feels like hell it is a very traumatic event it feels like dying and anything related to death gives me a massive anxiety.

[@kelvinperalta6711]

u had another panic attack sober or while high again?

[@jacobmiranda1]

Your blood pressure goes down when you smoke weed and your body compensate by raising your heart beat. One of the reasons I stopped smoking weed years ago was because of how tacky I would get. The bad trips completely defeated the purpose of smoking, which was to feel good. However, I'm glad that it scared me enough to stop. There were times my heart rate would stay elevated for long periods of time. I've saved a lot of money over the years from not having to buy weed. Most of us would do good without it.

[@Stoicsaiyan]

True but it shouldn’t naturally raise your heart rate to 200 bpm it should raise it s little bit my friends get high and they didn’t have days heart rate but normal heart rate first time I got high I didn’t even feel my heart and I was chill but ever since then I just get panic

[@ishdogg1205]

What I noticed with myself…is I only had this marijuana panic attack when I smoke sativa…so I only smoke Indica and haven’t had the issue since.

[@braden8130]

Had the same problem a little over a year ago. To this day I still have anxiety and I’m now on prescription meds to help manage it. This video said the exact process of what happened to me and if I could go back I would.

I thought I was the only one who laughed at this sort of stuff 😳 it scares me how relatable it is and I can’t help myself, did you ever recover from your anxiety?

[@stonefaceBRC]

This is awesome, thank you so much. I love smoking, but anxiety plays a role in it about 75% of the time for me. I already feel like your advice here can make a difference for a problem I've had for years now.

[@nabzThegooner]

I used to smoke every day literally morning afternoon night everything was nice until 1 day I literally felt my heart about to come out of my chest I thought I was getting a heart attack that was about 1 year ago I'm scared to even try smoke again but I can't lie I fucking miss the buzz man I just wanna have a trip now and then. Not sure what to do man should I wait a bit longer?

[@paulcunningham5911]

How are you now are you able to Smoke without any anxiety?

[@Bearz710]

Dude you’re spot on with #1 and #2. I’ve done acid and shrooms twice each, and I keep thinking it messed my brain chemistry up. And you’re also right with the other one too, I’m stuck in constant anxiety and in the cycle now. Every high I’m worried.

[@elletal23]

Idk man but maybe you should stop doing it, I had a little thc the other day and had anxiety and increased heart rate, I was scared, but thankfully it is going away, I still feel a little bit but definitely passes with time, don't focus on stuff to much, do easy stuff, clean your house, brush your teeth I found that helpful, simple and easy. Hope you feel beeter.

[@Bearz710]

@@elletal23 Thanks brotha! I’ve stopped smoking excessively and that helped a lot. I only do a bowl a night now. And I also stopped getting from the streets, so that helped a lot too. I feel a lot better now mentally.

[@heatherann4390]

It's not even enjoyable high anymore if I'm just getting an anxiety attack so I quit.

[@mikel7505]

Damn. I had my first panick attack every while I was high alone at 3am. I was the only one awake in my house and I had no clue what was going on and felt like I was gonna be dead. Looked at myself in the mirror and saw myself getting pale. This happened 2 months ago and ever since I've only smoked once or twice since i'm scared it'll happen again

[@mikel7505]

That being said, I wasn't an amateur either. I took what are called "blinkers" with my cart which is 10 seconds per hit, and about 4 each session. I'd be fine but my panick attack happened with my new cart after a 5 second hit

[@miasianw]

same

[@antoniochianese5910]

I can drink 20 beers in one night and nothing happen me but if I take just one pull of joint I have to go home and be alone (at this point I can even enjoy it) but if I’m high in public I feel like I’m naked, is like I have the feeling that everyone can see what I’m thinking, I can’t explain it, don’t know maybe it is just because we’re not used, because even my friends that smoke joints like cigarettes now, I remember them back in the days when they just started getting high they was nervous, you couldn’t had joke with them, and I remember someone fainted as well

I smoked for the first time two years ago and have only smoked two times after that, in which each time I had a panic attack. Ever since those ive had horrible anxiety and have been having derelization episodes and everything I eat and drink make me have a thought in my head that its gonna do something to me.

[@Torontoaccount]

For everyone that had a panic attack when you got high, was there some thought that triggered the panic attack? In other words, you had some kind of fear of something > you got high > that fear you originally had got exaggerated > panic attack Or was it purely just physical symptoms with no thoughts or fear involved? Meaning you were having a good time > got high > heart started racing, fainting, hyperventilation = panic attack Thank you so much for your feedback/input

[@atxandy4771]

for me the second i dissociate and feel stuck in my mind it starts and i feel like there’s no way out

[@RamblingReliks]

First time I had ever tried it, I had no idea what to expect. When it hit it I remember being a bit freaked out by the feeling of floating, so I guess I began to have anxiety. I have health anxiety anyway, so when my heart rate went up, I immediately thought I was having a heart attack. I was OK after a while because I was with company. Something happened which distracted me so it wore off. The second and third time I got cocky, smoked way too much and blew my head off. I had a very uncomfortable, almost out of body experience and a heart rate which felt insanely rapid (but my concept of time was totally off to the point where a few seconds felt like minutes so the heart rate probably wasn't as bad as I thought it was.) Haven't tried it since the third time because I didn't want a repeat. That said, ironically I'm now being prescribed medical cannabis for sleep issues with a microdose of high THC. Hence why I'm here as I await my prescription. I am a bit concerned it'll happen again.

i was losing my mind and i was in school taking sr pictures i went to the nurses office asked to go home and drove my self home, i don’t even know how i drove home i was shaking, with my blood pressure low but my heart was racing like never before. i felt like everyone was looking at my like i was crazy. worse experience ever

[@princecuddle]

When I started smoking I never had any issues. Few weeks ago I started having panic and or anxiety attacks when smoking causing me to have a heart rate near 187. It wasn't until after that time that I figured it was a panic attack.
