Pot+Me= Superfuckingfreakout

Yeah thats happened to me a bunch of times, ill get focused on cleaning just to keep my mind off of everything, but the comedown was beautiful. Now, i can mostly enjoy it, but it still flares up a bit if im not trying to fight it.
 
I get the same reaction from pot sometimes too. I'm sure everyone does. I'm also a daily smoker, for the most part and usually how stressed I am, sober, is a good indicator of how anxious I will get if I smoke up. It usually pertains to something negative going on in my life, self-loathing, wondering what the fuck I'm doing with my life, tons of overly paranoid thoughts etc. I have gotten better at learning to manage the anxiety I get, or push away paranoid thoughts but it still gets me sometimes. Really though, it just means I need to right something going on in my life and until I do, my highs won't be as satisfying. It's a good motivator.

I feel the same way about alcohol too. I binge drank all throughout my teens and early twenties and now it just makes me feel sick and tired. None of the good effects I used to get so I've pretty much given it up. It's not worth it at all anymore.

Like many others, I had to give up my daily MJ habit as my anxiety became worse and worse. I only smoke it once a month now. If you must smoke cannabis, I'd try pure Indica strains, these strains offer more of a body high, rather than the more "heady" Sativa strains. When I do smoke, I only smoke Indica strains, they're less anxiety inducing. Even smoking Indica, I have to be in the most relaxing set/setting, otherwise I get full blown panic attacks as well.

That said, it sounds like you're better off giving pot a long break. Try replacing pot with an exercise routine. It sounds lame, but exercise now gives me the euphoric relaxation that pot used to have for me.

^^ This. Man, you sound just like me. I used to smoke pot every single day, from the time I got up until I went to bed. It was,, I don't know what it was, certainly too much no doubt. I liked it though. Now Whenever I touch the thing I start overthinking everything, my mind racing, it sucks. Even with a great setting like a movie, I would just end up pausing it and trying to fix one of the things I think I'm doing wrong.
I guess I'll have to give it more time, and get my hands on some hindu kush kind of thing---
 
i get the same reaction, apart from the panic attack. lots of looping negative thoughts, feeling uncomfortable and quite anxious. gave up smoking for years, not overall bothered about cannabis anymore. benzos help a lot though, but make me so unmotivated combined with weed and end up eating so much food
