I do not consider myself a very stressful person though I seem to remember having minor panic attacks when I was around the age or 6 and then once when I was sick with food poisoning at 12. Now, I know that anxiety runs in my family because my mom is a very anxiety driven person and suffers from massive amounts of stress and worry. I had never felt these sorts of feeling’s though so I thought it would be safe to smoke marijuana. The first few times I tried it I loved it. I just felt an onset of happyness and joy. It seemed to relax me but just put me in a good mood. I even smoked it an night when my girlfriend had left me (a night that I would clearly think would give me anxiety).

Now, it is important to say that the other times we had smoked outside and taken off our clothes and washed them after smoking. This night though, the forecast was 5 degrees fareheit and me and my friend thought why not just smoke in my room out the window. So, we set up the insense and rolled the joint but this time differently. This time we rolled it with not just marijuana, but with nicotine aswell as we had heard that it helped the marijuana burn easier and was nice. We got to the window and started to smoke. After about 3 hits I started to feel alittle buzz that didn’t feel to good but still felt quite nice. Anyway,we kept on smoking and at about 4 hits I started to cough and my chest was burning (from the coughing and the smoke). I started to not feel very well but stupidly thought that I would smoke through this feeling. With every hit I took I would say I was done but would come back for one last painful hit of coughing and discomfort. Finally, we killed it and I started to lay on the couch.

Immediatly I knew this was not like the other times. I lay there feeling very stressed and not having a fun time. I thought to myself, mabye if I lighten up with a laugh or a smile i’ll start to feel like normal. I pulled out a fake laugh but it didn;t help. I knew now that something was wrong. I was rubbing my legs and just kept saying "i’m freaking out man, i’m freaking out". My friend offered to go see my dad and get help and with some thought I knew this was a smart idea. After getting up and taking about 5 steps, I felt like I was hit by a train. All of s udden I was hit but a wave of something I had never felt before in my life. I felt like everything was slowing down and and all of the walls were shaking and moving. I remember hearing my heart start beating faster and faster and my skin feel as it was just tingling all over me.

After the longest and scariest walk to my parents room I explained to my dad what we had been doing and that I was freaking out. I kept insisting that we call 9-11 as I felt as though i was having a heart attack and was going to die. My mom came into the room and told me to sit with my legs between my knees and just take deep breaths which I did. When I closed by eyes I would see weird patterns and thing’s that I thought were connected to my chilhood but looking back now, I had never seen in my life. Everything was quite in the room yet everything felt so loud. I could hear my heartbeating though it sounded like it was go about 60 times a minute. If I concentrated though, I could hear the real rate of my heartbeat, which was still beating very quickly. I thought at this point that it must have been laced with something like PCP because the reaction I was having was just so bad. Eventually, I went to the emergency room and the doctor there was kind and nice to me. I felt safe there because I felt as though if It was a heart attack, they could save me. Finally I went home and fell asleep.

The next morning I still felt pretty lightheaded and high. A lot of that day I remember now in a daze. It was just a day of relaxing and I felt so sorry about the whole incident that I was working and doing what every I could to make it up to my parents. The very next day I went to school and I wasn’t scared to tell my story at all.

A month later, while at home I thought that I would catch a buzz before my parents came home (it was 5:00 and they come home at 6:00). I got out another joint that we rolled the day of my last attack which also had nicotine and went outside and started to smoke it. I didn’t feel any real stress other then people smelling it outside. My plan was to only take about 3 hits and then just relax on the couch. I took about2 hits and was immediatly hit with this onslaught of high. I felt like I had just taken 10 hits instead of 2. Wow I thought, i’m a lot more high then I was planning on being. I put the rest of the joint away and put all my clothes away. I was alittle anxious that the high wouldn’t go away before my parents came home but not really thinking about having another panic attack. Sure enough though, it happened again. All at once I just felt like it was really escelating

I’ve had that type of experience before too, but uh…that happens sometimes when you do drugs! I mean, come on!!!

4 months (smoked in october) have passed that i first smoked marijuana. it was my first time s and smoke a lot for being first. while i was high i then got a panic attack or had a "bad trip" and couldn’t fall asleep, couldn’t stand still, had to keep walking, heart racing. So after that, had a horrible week which was terrible felt not hungry, constipated, throwing up in the morning, depressed and feeling sad, memory all messed up, not wanna do anything. everything felt like a dream like state.
But as the months pass by i started feeling these symptoms little by little less. not entirely gone. some weeks are low plain and no mood. some weeks are a little higher but not to normal self.
4 months have passed and feel good buy sorta 90% not 100% whole. not entirely like myself
will it eventually go away entirely as time passes? any advice in making the feeling go away?
-personal experience or professional advice can be helpful.

again this pot was laced w/something evidently pretty potent~all the symptoms you described are asymptomatic for pot you should be 100 % in another month?

It sucks because sometimes i’ll feel I have a panic attack coming but when I smoke it seems to subside. It’s funny because I thought marijuana caused people to have panic attacks not prevent them. Does anyone know what this kind of condition is?

I am in my late forties and have smoked marijuana on and off for 30 years. Honestly for me I don’t smoke so much for the buzz anymore. I probably grew-up with undiagnosed attention deficit disorder with a dyslexia and agraphia kicker tossed in for good measure. What that means is my mind is sometimes to fast or to busy for my own good. I smoke marijuana to help me slow my mind down so can sort things out clearer. Instead of expensive presciption drugs with side effects not to mention you have to take all the time I smoke from time to time. I have come to really appreciate the three days after smoking where instead of still being buzzed up I am just a little "frosty" and relaxed. Personally I think they should legalize marijuana, tax it and then use that money to fight a real drug war.

Okay, weed makes you paranoid. So, I can see how that would easily trigger a panic attack.

When you are not smoking weed, I would say you have an anxiety disorder. There are tests that you can take online to find out for sure if you have anxiety. Just go to google and search around for all the information you can find on it, and see if this is what caused your attack.

Millions suffer from anxiety, and a lot of people deal with them with drugs. And i’m not talking about your type of drugs. lol. Good luck. I hope this helps.

Perhaps it’s from Marijuana because I smoke pot for 2 years… It is my first time to try cocaine, what do you think will happen to me if i try cocaine and I have anxiety and panic attacks.. Please don’t preach… Share some facts

No, no, NO!!
The doctors can prescribe you stuff to stop panic attcks, NEVER turn to illegal drugs. Cocaine will make you worse.
This increases the risk of all those diseases that you don’t want.
Please don’t do it, for your (and the doctors) sake.

Will they continue? I thought my weed was laced but later found out that it was just really really potent marijuana.
Alcohol’s not that bad but cigs are.
Well I wasn’t really tripping hard but I was hallucinating patterns and my mind was racing. I was very very scared. That was the main thing.

yes, if you alter your brain chemistry you could be stuck with a permanent anxiety disorder. congratulations, hope it was worth it. weed is NOT harmless. and how could you possibly know exactly what was in it? did you grow it and pick it? no. Never touch the stuff again. gather your balls and just say NO.

It was a good high but then in another 10 minutes, I started feeling like my lips and tongue were swelling. It scared me really bad which caused me to start thinking about all kinds of crazy stuff in my head. Then it felt like my throat was closing up. I started panicking and I had a continuous panic attack for about 3 hours. I smoked the marijuana at about 3:00 pm. It’s now 2:43 am and I’m still feeling relatively high. I still feel like my tongue is swollen, it’s hard to keep my eyes open, and it’s hard to swallow. Do you guys think it’s all in my head, or is there something really wrong? Just a little background, I smoked marijuana yesterday too but it didn’t make me feel this way. Any help would be appreciated. And please don’t leave me comments being like, "you’re stupid for smoking weed." That’s honestly not going to help.

Thanks!
We made a home made bowl out of a can. Could it be the chemicals in the can that’s making me flip out?

well it couldve been laced with smthng else like a stronger narcotic type of drug. or u could just be suffering the effects of the marijuana because mj is a hallucinogen no one can know this but ur self if u feel any kinda way about it that ur health is in danger go to the emergency room they should be able to help

dude idk what that joint was laced with but none of those symptoms are normal for pot smokers~hopefully you’ll think twice before you light up again?

As soon as the high hit me i began to freak out (just like other two times). Things started to spin in a circle like if you took a picture and kept spinning it my heart was racing like never before. i closed my eyes and thought it would be better if i tried sleeping. the spinning kept going and i thought i was dead then i thought my life was flashing by. Im am never smoking weed or any other drug again. I now realize drugs ruin lives…

sit in quiet meditation and contemplation on what you just said.
"I now realize drugs ruin lives"

in there lies much wisdom!!!!!!!!!

im a recovered addict of 26 years.

sounds like some cotton mouth and you didnt drink any water, just drink water, chillax and youll be fine you dont have to stop like some of the douchebags on here tell you to
