Can't handle cannabis anymore?

[LiquidEx]

This is weird, ever since I was 15 I smoked cannabis daily, when I was staying in a homeless shelter (3 years later), I started doing opiates heavily and started taking heroin, dihydrocodeine, oxy ect and had a 2 month break from smoking weed. Now whenever I smoke gravity bongs or even a joint I start having serious anxiety and a general feeling of doom, and I have never suffered from paranoia to this extent before on weed. I'm not sure if it's a panic attack but It usually lasts the entire duration of the high, which really ruins it. I still smoke weed but it ain;t as enjoyable, I have no idea how this happened? cos my tolerance went down? :S

Firstly, this doesn't belong here, and I'm pretty sure a mod will move it to CD when they see it. There are plenty of threads there where people describe similar experiences, so take a peak around Cannabis Discussion for information. I had something similar happen to me...even going from all day everyday for a number of years to taking a few days off, I find that I do get some anxiety when I smoke, but if anything it's because I've underestimated the quality, and forgotten what it feels like to be stoned, not just in a continuous haze. I've never been addicted to opiates, so I can't comment on that aspect of this.

might be the tolerance. maybe you should try smoking less until you get more tolerant again. or have you had any anxiety problems or panic attacks on other drugs like opiates? if so maybe your mind goes to that and you go into the high worried itll happen again. because if your high and think youll get anxiety you most likely will. when i started getting anxiety from smoking weed it was because i had a panic attack and that "sense of doom" from mixing with amphetamines. so now sometimes when im about to smoke ill remember that and get alittle scared ittl happen again which gives me anxiety when im high. but if i dont think about it and go in with happy thoughts and stay on those thoughts im all good.

Marijuana increases heart rate up to 50% in some people. This is what I hate about it. Unless you find a nice haze strain or something mellow and not so stimulating.

Multiple strains used to treat anxiety ^. I'd say take a small dose of a benzo with your weed, but after reading about the opiate addiction I don't know if that's a great idea.

you are just getting too high because of your tolerance. I'm sure you felt like that when you first starting smoking too
