So...Here is my back round. I stareted to smoke weed for 2 years then suddenly got VERY bad panic attacks. My first one was on haloween and i thought i was dead and going to die even more. Anyway every time i would smoke weed after that i would panic for 8 hours. But i could take any other drug and be okay. Like lsd, mushrooms pills. Then i slowly got dependent on Oxycontin. (this was about 1.5 years after my last weed time) and i took a lot of pills because i had anxiety and it really helped. Then i got off the pills after a long process. and my buddy offerd me some bud. I took it to my house and KNEW i was NEVER gonna do it again from what i experienced. But i built up the urge after a few days and decided to take only 2 hits. So i did and felt AMAZING! Best feeling i have ever had. Then i smoked again and it was also amazing! For me rite now its amazing. So i only smoke weed now and i love it. BUT i only get high of a tiny pinch? why does that happen? its VERY small. So could of my brian been hurt from thc by making it super sensitve to thc so id panic and now when i take a small rip i get very high? Someone try and tell me if a bran can do this. thnaks 8)

Sometimes less is more. As a fairly heavy smoker I find the best high is if I have one cone & chill for 40 minutes rather than punching 3-4 in a row. That is if I can show restraint........
I doubt your brain has been "hurt" by THC you just have zero tolerance.

Some people get hypersensitive to cannabis in this way.

There are a few different factors that can play into this. Did you smoke a different strain than usual? Did you smoke more than normal? Were you just psyching yourself out?
I smoke weed daily, and I occasionally feel nauseous and/or get the spins when I smoke different strains or if I smoke a lot. When I begin to get nauseous I tend to get paranoid and it can result in a bad trip. I actually had this happen last night when my new sister-in-law-to-be got me way blunted after I had already smoked a couple bowls and I couldn't close my eyes for fear that I would get sick although I was extremely drowsy. I am a firm believer that you can make any trip bad or good, depending on your mindset, though, and easily turned this around by telling myself that I'm just tripping myself out and that I felt good. I was fine for the rest of the night after that. I just had to think positive and tell myself that I was being ridiculous.
Regardless of what it is, though, it's a good thing you gave yourself a break. Sometimes if you do too much of a good thing it can turn on you.

Ive gotten around 2 panic attacks in the 6 years ive been smoking . They ocured within the first 3 years of me smoking which is when i got really high . Since then i dont get nearly as high . I still get high but not as much as then and i still smoke the same amount yet my anxiety assoiated with weed has decreased
The feelings me and you get are panic attacks yes .. But
I think they occured and they occur in most people not because they have underlying anxiety (of course a minority of people do ) but because theyre simply too high and thoughts manifest on each other until one is thrown into a panic attack.
Even the most calm person with no anxiety at all could feel a panic attack from weed as after all its a psycadellic not a sedative or w.e. people dont take this into consideration and are quick to question if they have serious anxiety problems .
Basically all you have to do is disipline your thoughts and learn how to control your mind so weed doesnt take it and send u into panic attacks .
Thats what i do and ive been smokin good for years

It is your underlying anxiety man! I swear it makes a pot high feel stronger.
I would always ask myself, why are there used syringes in most parks and alley ways? It is clear to me now. Opiates and Cannabis (and probably other drugs) are considered 'place conditioning' which basically means if you are using the same thing in the same place for too long, your tolerance will seem larger in that place (it results in a lot of opiate overdoses when the victim is at home/very comfortable) meaning you will have to smoke more pot, or take more heroin to get your desired effect in that place. It makes perfect sense, I have noticed this with cannabis. When I would get high at my house at lunch, I would never think I was high enough to go back to the last few mind numbing periods. As soon as I would start walking up the street to get back to school, or walk through the doors into the school, BAM! I would always feel twice as high as before. I am almost sure this is because of the anxiety factor. (Anyone ever been in a principals office or a squad car while decently stoned?... certainly not a 'buzzkill' per say)
Also, it sounds like you were off the stuff for a long time.
Another phenomenon I have to mention is what I have been told by all opiate addicts who got clean and tried smoking pot. They hate it. They can smoke if they are using, but once clean, it apparently is too strong for them somehow... Maybe brighter minds could explain the biological action, but, it seems to be a pretty regular thing with prescription opiate addicts.
Embrace it, if you love the intensity of a small amount, then enjoy saving a lot of money as a stoner!!

Dr. E is implying that you have an anxiety disorder, which I have. I usually smoke Indica strains because it helps my anxiety go away, Sativa is better suited for depression as it makes you happy. I'm not saying that Dr. E is wrong by any means, BUT I do think that what jamesmartin and I both have said is probably more accurate? Speaking from personal experience. Next time you start to feel a panic attack, take a deep breath and tell yourself that you're high and you need to just go with it. Come back and tell us how you felt after that, because I'm fairly positive that it'll help.

I have heard many tales of similar things since becoming CD mod, yes. And as the other have said...for some people less is more. I know many people who for what ever reason have gotten a panic attack while high...and then when they get high in the future that feeling reminds them of the panic attack...and they panic...also anxiety has a funny ways of once it starts you start looking for more symptoms...and you get more worried.
I have also noticed that people might get anxiety before they ever smoke which will only make it more likely that you start to panic when you get high (people who have had a panic attack or anxiety issues with weed before). This can cause a higher risk of you having a bad high.
But weed does have a way of changing over time...even if you build up a tolerance the way you high feels can change over the years...just like your brain chemistry will naturally. But I say if your enjoying it now then stay posative about it, make sure you in a chill mood when you smoke, and your around people your comfortable with. Make sure your gonna watch a movie or listen to some music..so your not just sitting there thinking about how you feel.
Good luck.
