I love the stuff before and after the panic attack I get EVERYTIME I smoke. It has become a trigger for panic attacks. Just like driving on the interstate, or over a bridge. I have them all the time with or without weed. I still miss it. I used to be able to paint like crazy when high. Now all I do is hyperventilate!

^Yes, that is exactly what happens to most people. It's great for a few years, then suddenly starts to give some anxiety, then starts to give it like 100% of the time. Now that I've quit completely, I can smoke occasionally and enjoy the effects, but I still have to push down that anxiety when I feel it creeping up pretty damn often.
There was actually a study I read somewhere that said that like 50% or some obscene percentage like that of people who smoked cannabis regularly eventually quit because of the intense anxiety it eventually caused... It's shitty, I agree!

Well that's just ducky.. guess I'll put off giving it a try again. I can barely handle my panic attacks on panic attack meds.
Only once, Took too huge a bong-ri to see who could take the biggest rip. Well I felt light headed like crazy, started getting tunnel vision bad and the place where I couldn't see was covered in multi-colored statics. I randomly thought I had to piss hella bad, I made an excuse and stumbled out of the garage mumbled something about pissing. I felt like I was leaking piss and I was straight sweaty. Stumbled into a bathroom and sat on a toilet for 10 minutes thinking the piss would come out anytime.
Terrifying and over something stupid

This might sound off topic or just silly, but i used to suffer bad from panic attacks, up until about 2 years ago when i stopped eating certain additives in food..it was like an off switch..i still get them to a very mild degree and they are now easy to deal with.. but i dont really think the weed was the issue.. it affects everyone differently though, and a close friend of mine is insanely paranoid.. crack user paranoid but without the crack involved lol.. and would benefit from a break i think!

What additives in food were they? I know that Aspartame can make some people depressed but that stuff is bad anyway. Are you allergic to gluten?

No known allergies really, i think it was just side effects of chemicals in food, mainly i cut out MSG and E number colourings (i never ate or drank anything with aspertame thankfully, as yeah its very nasty stuff)!

Maybe I should do MDMA and weed at the same time
Tis a waste. I can never feel weed on a good roll, only on the come down, makes me get a few more waves for 30min to an hour, a good extension.
Make it so, Captain.

i remember years ago when i suffered from the anxiety etc from weed i stupidly ended up getting stoned at my friends house with my ex there and a few other people, biggest mistake ever. never felt so uncomfortable in my life, ive known these people for fucking years yet i felt literally like i was in a room full of aliens, i felt withdrawn like my ego sunk deep into myself and i could hardly talk, very socially retarded everything was weird and tripping me out, i had this massive urge to get up and run away. thank fuck i had a 5 year break. now when i smoke im fine, but dont think ill make too much of a regular habit of it incase it starts happening again

I feel bad for you guys who get this paranoia... Just try to ride the wave, remind yourself it's a short acting drug that alters your perception of things 
Yes I've had panic attacks during/after smoking weed. This has happened alone as well as w/ others. Most commonly it's with others. It has definitely caused me to smoke less. In fact, it's the primary reason that I don't smoke weed (I do like 1X every 2 months)=it causes or provokes my anxiety.

I have had panic attacks (not bad) maybe once or twice) and definitely increased paranoia a lot of times...
but honestly there is nothing i like more then what i am about to do now that its 5pm and i am leaving work
get to jersey city stop in the corner store buy 2 dutches
roll up a blunt
put something sweet on to watch
spread out on bed in boxers with ashtray on my stomach and jus tlay on my bad and smoke a blunt
i can't imagine experiencing paranoia or panic attacks doing this lol
maybe the people who are havin panic attacks just need to get somewhere comfortable, smoke in your own home not where cops are gonna ctach you and shit

Dude you got me craving so bad now...bastard!
But yeah I usually smoke alone too. I'm an introverted person, so I don't automatically feel comfortable tripping in a group. Plus, you miss out on the psychedelic aspects if you're just focusing on the social aspect.

Me too, I hear voices and really loud noises and weird chanting in my head but it sounds so real like it's coming from another direction.
It has given me panic attacks, but when I was younger 24 I think.
Kept having em anyway if I smoked or not![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")
These days it can still freak me out a little.
Thinks it best when you know ya not going to be inavaded by relatives (Who don't smoke)
I get some diazepan now , allow myself just 1mg with a beer & a smoke .
Sad maybe but necessary

That's where I was, at home with the wife. I think my problem is I had read the story about the cop who stole weed from the evidence room and made weed brownies, he and his wife ate them then started freaking out and called 911.. I heard the 911 tape and I think that stuck in my subconscious. Seeing that it was my first time I was already going in with that on my mind. It's hard to imagine going through that again.
