weed and panic attacks

weed associated with panic attacks?

 

yes marijuana can trigger panic attacks pretty much everydrug can

 

yeah it happened 2 me b4....scary! i was just smoking a bowl in the bathtub with all the lights off and i started to freak out! i was like going in and out of concsiouness and i lost sense my of myself and i kept pulling my hair and i thought i was gonna die!!! and i thought 'aw man im not gonna smoke for a while' but then i ju ssmoked like the next day or something - but, i dont know why that happened???

 

well panic is like one of humans only safety systems. When you get high, the part of the brain which houses among many things this safety system, gets amplified. Notice when your high you picture in your mind all of the possible things that could go wrong, or ways you can protect yourself from a situation like being cought. well thats like your safety system on steroids (well, yeh literally sorta) and i personally find it pretty cool to observe the amazing feats this paranoia can bring in terms of thinkning of ideas or complex situations.
paranoia is usually half edge and half entertainment for me

 

a panic attack is more than just paranoia, though, bill. I'm happy to say I've never had one, stoned or sober, but my dad recently did over something at work; he was driving home at the time, thought he made a mistake at the jobsite (major construction work) and he actually had to go back to check. There was no mistake but he was still freakin when he got home, and even though the attack was over, he was scaring ME. I can't imagine how bad it was for him.

 

that which is fear is not love

that which is love is not fear

 

actuly not realy

 

yeh im just sayin about paranoia/. ive never had a panic attack. i dont quite understand what people are gonig through when they do. in fact i dont even get paniced with paranoia, i get anxiety part of it more than the panic side. id say

must suxor to be in a pan attank

 

I quit smoking because of panic attacks.....

 

ah that sucks crummy, ive never really had a panic attack before but get paranoia when im in large groups of people i dont really know. my friend once had a panic attack in a bus station and he started talking to this old lady who was sat by him, he was proper freakin out until he saw this white light then his fear left him

 

its alot more ive had panic attacks just siting and reading a book i wasnt afread of nervous or anything i had to stop smoking weed from panic attacks too

 

mind over matter!!!

 

I just recently started suffering from panic attacks. When I started smoking weed I was fine, but for some reason within the last several months I have had a few while high. It is a nightmare! I can't really smoke anymore because of them, everytime I smoke I think, shit am I gonna have another attack? Now I can't enjoy smoking weed like I use too. so yeah, that sucks.

 

My advice to you Midnight Toker would be to only smoke a little the next time. Don't get "high" for a while, just get a buzz. Same goes to all the others who had to quit smoking. The reason u got a panic attack the first time is different for all of u, but the reason u keep getting them is because u get high, and then yur afraid that you may get another panic attack, there by inducing a panic attack. It really is mind over matter, but i do reilize how much they suck. I got one the 3rd time i smoked. And u do indeed feel like yur going to die. U have to simply reilize that nothing in weed can kill u, and theres no reason to freak out.

 

hey isn't this from donnie darko?

 

Why the hell would you wanna dig up this old thread?..

 

I never had paranoia or a panic attack on weed. I did freak out sonted last night because I saw someone with only one arm and it scared me.

 

I've had a few nervous experiences and nearly came to a panic attack once. I smoked up on christmas with my buddy in my room, then my cousins came over unexpectedly and I had to talk to the family stoned, this was not the plan, and when I got back upstairs I was shaking really badly because know one knew I smoked, and if they did, I'd be dead haha.
Me and a friend also saw this face in my other friends house, it was really freaky.
I mostly get paniced when im stoned alone, because your mind has nothing to touch reality with, you just fly through thoughts.

 

this happened to me twice i felt disconnected from myself, like i wasn't in control. Both times I was around people who kept telling me it was going to be alright, it took a while but as I started to come down I just began to enjoy myself. You just gotta keep reminding yourself it will pass, this is hard though because if you are like me time seems to go really slow when you are stoned and even slower when something goes wrong.

 

i hypervenolate (spelling) when i get scared, needles mostly.

i dont know why but i always have.

but ive never done that stoned
