From what I've read, pot can and does cause panic attacks in some people. Then again I dont know if it actually causes them....or makes them worse in people who are already prone to them.......but I did read something about the two being linked, although I dont think its common. Dont know much beyond that though I know people who smoke to help with their anxiety and attacks......I smoked heavily for years and while I had a few panic attacks, I believe it was linked to other drugs I was using, not pot. Once I quit the other shit and just stuck with pot, I never saw another attack....so.....?
The above doesnt sound TOO much like a panic attack. I used to get them (not when smoking) and you get suddenly dizzy, your chest feels like it collapsing in on itself and you REALLY feel like you're gonna vomit.
i know what you're talking about. i get the exact same way. I've had plenty of panic attacks but only when i smoke alone. weed causes paranoia...its just another effect. sometimes you're too busy or too high to notice that you're getting paranoid, or sometimes you're in such a good mood, you don't.
i have really bad panic attacks in everyday life, i get them all the time, but wen im smokin weed, it helps ease tha tention of my panic attacks. i've gotten a panic attack once wen i was high, it was after smoking 3 grams of weed that was laced with angel dust. i dont use chemical drugs, just natural "drugs" so i was really pissed off with the results. but anyways, my point is that weed actually helps me with my horrible panic attacks, so i guess it just differs from person 2 person, also prob. depends on the strain of weed.
i have never felt like that after smoking cannibus, after eating mushrooms maybe, but definately not marijuana
they do say, that weed increases paranoia. most people think theyre having a panic attack, and then panic more, and get an actual panic attack, which just keeps growing when your stoned. your throat is actually functioning normal, but youre feeling your throat do things that you dont usually feel. i used to get it. not anymore. i panicked a bit but i always remember that i cant die from smoking weed yay
all i know is i get those symptoms sometimes when i smoke a lot. i'm sorry to say i'm not knowledgable about "panic attacks" as they're usually referred to. yes. i can't think of any other explanation than this. it's just soooooo hard to fight it once it happens. it's all in the head... that's the thing i try to keep in mind. nobody ever ever ever dies from weed, right?
the drugs inside weed are, for practical purposes 100% safe. you CAN physically overdose, but youd have to like inject it. and i dont think weed increases the likelyhood of any other drug causing death either. the fast heart rate is actually healthy because your blood vessels relax.
the only time i've ever felt remotely close to what you're describing is when i've had EXTREME cottonmouth and am unable to get a drink. my throat and nasal passage get really dry and then i start to get paranoid that something is really wrong with my throat. as soon as i get a drink though, gone.
