Just had a panic attack from weed this morning. Forgot I smoked, and had a panic attack because my adrenaline started pumping and felt like something was gravely wrong.
Is this why it's illegal? Is this why people are against its legalization? I never get this feeling from tobacco or alcohol.
u smoked a high thc strain. smoke a strain with less thc and more CBD. those strains are good for anxiety. high thc strains will increase anxiety and if ur a pussy ull have a panic attack
Jaxson Myers
Well get a strain with a higher amount of CBD.
Nicholas Nguyen
This is bad advice considering sometimes indica can have just as high of levels. DESU I try to only smoke shitty weed to get a mild high, or shake. I feel ya about the panic attacks tho
John Rivera
>smoking anything ever Go be gay somewhere else.
Zachary Lee
I've been smoking "ringos gift"- high CBD/low thc strains for me. I get everything I expect from marijuana without it fucking up my day or making me stupid/paranoid.
Luis James
I don't smoke any more, but you're right to a certain extent. If you get a very dominant indica though like 90/10 or 100% it'll have enough CBD to keep you calm.
Strongest shit I ever smoked was white widow. I picked a seed out of it and grew it, and it turned out to be a White Widow #5 phenotype. I called it space weed.
Oliver Adams
no, look up the history of the drug war and the illegalization of weed it has nothing to do with some people getting panic attacks
and if weed gives you panic attacks either don't smoke it at all, smoke a different strain, or learn how to deal with it and channel it in a productive manner
focusing on creative or physical tasks decreases that anxiety
Blake Jenkins
How did you forget you smoked?
Wyatt Hernandez
If I want to get a little more THC in me I use Kushypunch recovers and break the quarters down or a take a hit or two off an indicator vape or it of my bubbler if I'm home. I'm always "medicating" and you'll never see me stoned unless you show up to my house at 11pm and I'm having difficulties falling asleep
I was against legalizing marijuana for medical reasons but I understand now that it's just a "coping mechanism." I also now believe that EVERYONE should have high cbd/low thc strains stashed away in their medicine cabinets at home-
Ibuprofen and NSAIDs really kill my stomach now, the cbd strains also get rid of my nerve pain almost immediately after smoking. I do a "wake and bake" everyday now, just three to five puffs before I begun my daily intake of caffeine.
Anthony Nelson
OP here.
Panic attack literally made me go out for a run outside. Luckily I had my shoes on and it genuinely looked like I was getting cardio exercise in at 5 AM
In actuality I was freaking the fuck out. When I got back after coming to my senses, I realized I didn't even close my front door when I left in a hurry.
Samuel Wood
All cannabis strains have the potential to induce paranoia and panic attacks. Smoke a small amount first, wait a few hours, then smoke more. This is the best way to overcome the common side effects.
Nicholas Gutierrez
Never smoked weed, want to try it
What sort of shit should i get? Also where do i find dealers
Ethan Roberts
*Tips dreadlock
Kayden Scott
Because they like smoking it too and don't want to get arrested even though most smokers know it's a vice
Aaron Fisher
I only ever got that way with salvia, and it wasn't a panic attack, the world was being taken apart and mashed back together and all I could do is run around in circles screaming.
Elijah Green
Short term memory loss. Either that or I was so hyperfocused on how I felt that I drowned all other thoughts out and began to panic.
Owen Ramirez
I'd be more worried about your intake of (((social media))) and those sites you visit, than what a harmless fucking plant does faggot
Lincoln Russell
>Forgot I smoked wut?
Christian Hernandez
>dutch the best way to overcome side effects is to smoke weed erryday fagget
Josiah Reed
I wasn't hallucinating in the sense that there was things I saw that weren't there.
It was a sensation that I was trapped in a sequence of negative thoughts and I had to "break out of it" or else it would've gone on for an eternity.
Like I'm stuck in time but don't know how or why. I'm told it's called ego death, if that's it; then Ive experienced it.
Jonathan Peterson
i either work out, play guitar or write
Ryan Hill
Marijuana is a gateway drug to mental illness and brain damage. You heard it here volks
the more woke you become about how thc is a neurotoxin killing your brain, the more it starts to happen. Pretty soon you won't be able to touch it
Levi Collins
Just ask for some numbers in a club smoking area then drop a text the next day, depending on where you live you probably won't be able to be too picky with what you get.
Caleb Hall
Do you have rickshaw drivers in your city? Ask one on a big club night and you'll probably get a 20 quid bag of weed. If it's your first time anything will get you fucked up so don't worry about what it is.
Aaron Russell
nah, i have long hair but not dreadlocks
Mason White
Wrong french faggot. Smoking everyday is bad.
Connor Rivera
I do that occasionally you remember again pretty quickly though.
Luis Nguyen
You're saying me being redpilled is why I have psychotic episodes from weed?
While other normies just smile and laugh like idiots saying "DUDE WEED LMAO" to each other, I feel at a subconscious level that something is seriously wrong and something isn't right - triggering a panic attack.
Is my redpilled self fighting the feeling?
James Davis
This happened to me too, OP. Had such a bad reaction to it, I felt like nothing was real for the next month and had constant existential panic attacks. I know my stuff wasn't mix with anything else because I grew it myself (Cheese strain from Dinafem).
My trip was fucking horrible, I remember the claustrophobic feeling of view in a world were everything felt slowdown the most, I don't know how people can enjoy this drug.
Julian Gray
You're smoking a psychoactive drug which lowers your blood pressure and ups your heart rate. Get a strain higher in CBD and you'll be fine.
Better yet, quit smoking the herbal jew and live your life free of it. It's gateway to mental illness and anxiety.
Easton Foster
Next time get some sugar in your body, I have chewable vitamin C on hand for whenever I get uncomfortably high. Marijuana needs CBD to help balance the THC, I am not one of those peoooe that can handle massive amounts of thc. I am already paranoid without it and smoke to be less anxious. Plus once my high starts wearing off I have to take a nap, some times it's 15-20 minutes and other times it's six hours. Sativa strains don't "wake me up," I've always leaned towards indica anyways. I do like sour diesel and OG Kush-those are my go to strains for getting high. Lately it's been thc/cbd edibles-then indica vape, northern lights out of the bubbler, and ringos gift. High CBD strains are really the way to go. My favorite strain at the moment is huge in cannabis clubs in Barcelona, you get a nice clean high without paranoia, tiredness, impairment. I don't like describing it as a high, it's more like a glowing feeling, your alertness and inner dialogue increase, your pain fades away, and I focus better
Kayden Bell
U had a panic attack because u let urself worry too much and gave into the false anxiety. its in ur head. u cant handle ur high THC strains, so get CBD strains instead. they will do the opposite. they will relax u and get rid of ur paranoia/anxiety.
Jace Cook
It doesn't happen to me all the time, but when it does - I get a lingering brain fog for months on end until I'm back to normal. I know how you feel, existential panic attacks - the panic of being overwhelmed by existing and being in the present moment
Andrew Walker
>paying for poison lol, good idea bro! xDDD
notice how it's the potatoniggers and the chimney cleaners who both sell that are posting this "advice"
symptomatic of brain damage to the hippocampus, which is exactly what le harmless weed does
yeah. I have a friend and I pilled him on weed and he started having panic attacks too. It's great, when people start to realize that the state they're under is toxic they stop having positive associations with it
Benjamin James
Don't worry, you just found out you're a HUGE fucking pussy. Deal with it.
Aiden Hernandez
Eat chocolate or meat, salads and drink some water. Your body and mind is literally telling you not to smoke weed. Could also be mental, maybe you are not feeling well deep inside. Best would probably be not to smoke at all.
Adam Ward
sometimes weed just hits people like that, it happens, panic attacks only feel like a big deal but they aren't
Mason Sullivan
you're retarded, basically
Jayden Evans
>smoking high THC concentrate, which causes every form of mental illness to begin with lol, you are a future schizophrenic
Logan Cook
yOU WERE OVERWHELMED. yOU BASICALLY OVER DOSED CUZ NOOB. first highs are the strongest, you will never get that high again. And you fucking wasted it being paranoid and a typical righty straight edge pleb.
Nathaniel Bell
I had that happen to me when I was on lsd.
Imagine the feelings of a panic attack, but while all of your senses are 4x more sensitive.
But to answer your question no that's not why it's illegal but it has been used as a justification.
Sebastian Clark
Things to consider: >blood sugar >tolerance I think we've all been there and it's pretty uncomfortable. If you're more supseptible than others, you should consider not smoking. It doesn't agree with everybody and brain chemistry ain't nutin to be fucked wit
What strain?
Benjamin Lopez
Panic attacks and stress are a big deal though, they literally destroy your brain, specially if they are continuous.
OP, if u wanna smoke some high THC strain without the anxiety, make sure ur prepped before u smoke up.
get some snacks, and music playing, maybe a movie in the background. smoke up, then just listen to music and enjoy it. if u focus on the music, u wont get anxious. u will only get anxious when u allow ur mind to drift off and worry. focus on something enjoyable instead.
Alexander Watson
And yeah-my doctor prescribes it because he believes that while everyone might not benefit from using marijuana, there is a strain that offers its own benefits for anyone who is looking into using marijuana for whatever reason.
Personally-I am a drug addict with a degenerative disease and love getting high but not from marijuana, I use marijuana and totally substitute it for other drugs but it's inconsequential really. I don't break the law, I don't spend a lot of money on it, it doesn't make me a shit parent.
David Allen
>symptomatic of brain damage to the hippocampus, which is exactly what le harmless weed does
proofs?
Blake Morris
Only ever had a panic attack once from weed and i've been a pretty regular smoker for the past 3 years.
I was running low on weed so i sprinkled what i had left in a joint and then added a fuck load of kief, smoked that and felt pretty baked so headed to maccies. it was packed in there though so once i ordered i was standing around for 10mins and started feeling really weird and anxious had to go to the toilet for a while to calm down.
At first i thought i was just going to whitey but that was definitely a panic attack, never had one since though.
James Mitchell
Monster Purple - it's a cross between an indica and an indica dominant hybrid
Alexander Hall
>symptomatic of brain damage to the hippocampus, which is exactly what le harmless weed does
If you think temporary drug-induced symptoms = actual brain damage you might be brain damaged yourself
Xavier Murphy
I am never smoking weed again, I've tried many drugs and I'd rather take stimulants over weed any-day.
I've never had a bad experience on amphetamines, modafinil or nicotine.
Lucas Reed
Btw not to make you more panic attack or to worry you but a panic attack and a heart attack feel like the same thing and weed makes you much more susceptible to one for the first few hours of smoking. If you have a history of heart problems I'd go to the doctor and get checked out.
Logan Lewis
faggot
Bentley Mitchell
>Forgot I smoked
Burgers...
Elijah Anderson
You serious? If you're interested then sample some wherever you can-but then find a burger who is willing to ship cartridges to you, smoking it is kindve stupid at this point. I eat it and vape it, my dog eats some two or three times a day. I always have coconut oil on hand, it doesn't get you super high but it does help with pain, mood, sleep.
Justin Kelly
yeah weed is hell bad for anxiety. I smoke a few gms a day and I am fucked in social situations. especially starting a new job or something where the pressure is on. quite ironic that people still pass round a joint to "calm someone down". Though to be honest it does work sometimes. You just have to be in the right frame of mind. but smoking everyday will most likely fuck with your head. some of my friends are fine and actually prefer to be social whilst high, depends on the individual
Elijah Rogers
My heart is fine. I have a healthy one. I exercise and have positive doctor checkups.
It's more of a mental thing, my body doesn't necessarily feel like something bad is happening.
Kevin Baker
I had a horrible panic attack my first time, and only did it once more after. I was okay the second time, but still after the first, i want interested in it. Thank god i had my friend with me, i felt like i understood why it was illegal because even though i was an adult, i would've probably got myself killed trying to drive home or function to any degree. In fact i almost jumped out of my friends car while he was driving. I was all over the place, happy, sad, suicidal, stressed, anxious, cold, confused. I dont know much of the politics but i wouldnt want this to be feely available to anyone who god forbid has anxiety or MDD whatever and like me didnt take it seriously. I know it rarely happens but thats just my experience
a known short term effect of le weed is memory impairment. Not hard to figure out what the effects of chronic exposure are
>I don't understand toxicology
Andrew Torres
THC is bad for anxiety, not weed.. CBD is probably the best medication for anxiety. works better than benzos.
Cooper Bell
Sounds like you're young sir-how old are you?
Isaiah Nguyen
>quite ironic that people still pass round a joint to "calm someone down"
Ever heard of Indica?
Lucas Cruz
So much retards ITT wasting their money and brain cells.
Connor Hall
Do you think meditation can cause damage to the hippocampus too? When I meditate a lot, I start having trouble distinguishing real memories from things that happened in my dreams...
Julian Hall
>"Muh freedoms!"
>"Wah wah I can't be personally responsible with a substance, please Daddy Government, ban it so I can be safe"
Why is Sup Forums so retarded?
Jaxon Scott
You had an actual panic attack, and instead of being paralyzed with fear and stress you knew knew something was wrong and tried to calm yourself down.
If you had not smoked, you may have been lying on the floor for hours, panic attacks are fucking terrifying.
You need to go see a doctor, NOT A SHRINK. Panic attacks are a medical symptom of something you will probably need medicine for, a shrink is going to fucking brainwash you and ruin your life.
Levi Green
If I was in a car and had a panic attack I'd go insane with the feeling of having nowhere to go.
Christian Murphy
if you don't want panic attacks, just drink alcohol with it.
Charles Foster
If you have any friends that smoke just ask them. That's your safest bet. Don't act like you've never smoked before but also don't lie and say you have, just don't bring it up. ask for an 8th That's about 3.5 g it should cost you 40-60 usd depending on your location. Don't smoke a joint your first time, buy a glass pipe and a glass filter. The filter is just like a little glass thing you drop into the hole of your pipe so that you don't eat the ash. When it turns gray that's when it's done, don't smoke the ash and don't dump out a lit bud. I like to smoke, when I'm done I ash it into my hand and I poke around with my finger to see if there's anything that doesn't feel like ash, if nothing's there just rub your hands together or toss it. The ash is good for your skin though
Ethan James
Yeah-he's an immature kid just saying dumb shit, what a gay premise for a bait thread
Chase Garcia
A lot of that 'indica this sativa that' stuff is bullshit. (Aside from how the plant actually grows)
Honestly though, 20% THC is very strong for n00bs. I'm not surprised at all by your reaction and I have reacted similarly to it in the past: Full blown panic attack. Never ever had ths sober.
Anthony Robinson
18. Been smoking for 2 years on and off
Cooper Diaz
every single study on meditation shows it has a positive effect on the brain. What the are you talking about mate, consuming -nothing- is NOT neurotoxic
Tyler Cruz
Might as well pop some valium.
Wyatt Lopez
Goddamn I've heard of bad reactions but nothing like that. Your brain chemistry must really not like THC.
Wyatt Harris
weed is dangerous. look up disassociation from marijuana. people have psychotic breaks for days sometimes weeks. some people never recover either. stay away from weed. i know someone who has a psychotic break
Jacob Stewart
Use darknet markets for cheap, quality stuff.
Alexander Lopez
ive had panic attack sober, and under influence.
they both suck ass
Hunter Thompson
DO NOT SMOKE MOLDY OR BLACK WEED
Caleb Harris
Agree.
Michael Sanchez
I only get panic attacks from weed, I never get them drunk/buzzed on tobacco/ or sober. Why do I need to see a doctor for that?
Lincoln Long
The odd time it gives me anxiety, but it only does when I haven't done something that I need to do to proceed forward in my life. I only smoke when I get my responsibilities out of the way. I think the paranoia can be okay if you can manage it, because it makes me view my life in a different perspective, i tend to write my thoughts down as well.
Ayden Thompson
Good luck getting an 8th in most places in the UK anymore mate, every dealer used to do 8th's now i only know one guy in my area that still dose and he only deals 8th's to me and a few others because we are long time customers.
Chase Gonzalez
No you just had bad vibes
In ego death you lose track of the "I"
Lincoln Harris
the funniest part is they're all agreeing they are having bad experiences, but still rationalize it away as something you've just got to deal with lol
Evan Cooper
Too much THC from overbreeded weed. Go for hash or outdoor weed - you choose not to quit entirely.
Jacob Bailey
you probably smoked entirely too much i drink a decent amount and start off a night by downing a glass with six shots and a little seltzer, that would probably send a lot of people straight to blackout town you probably just smoked half an order of magnitude more than you needed to
Hunter Moore
stick to vodka and cultural brain damage , da!
Nathan Cox
I've had tobacco do this to me, first time I chewed.
Samuel Turner
how cheap?
Isaiah Thomas
>forgot I smoked wat
Its called personal responsibility dumbass. Know the side effects of doing drugs and quit making shit up. If you can't handle it, don't do them. Don't tell us that other people shouldn't be allowed to do it.
Chase Cook
I'm not going to pretend to be a brain surgeon, but I've talked to and smoked with literally thousands of people on this subject. The worst i ever heard of was a guy who literally became narcoleptic when he smoked. I could see weed being linked to the panic attacks, so just not smoking should be enough.
If you're not bullshitting you are an insane rarity, this kind of shit does not happen to the vast majority of people who smoke weed.
Owen Richardson
Yeah because i've smoked weed 3 times a week give or take for the last 3 years yet have only had one bad experience so of course i'm not going to quit because of one bad time.
Isaac Barnes
Agree again.
Jacob Stewart
I can literally tell you why people have such a negative opinion of weed:
It's because they smoked too much.
Imagine that, rather than having a beer or two with your supper, that "typical" alcohol consumption was to try to drink a 26er in one night. That nearly every single person that drank alcohol ever tried to drink that much, that it was normal for people to sit at a bar and drink a 26er straight, and that when you went a friends house for a shindigger they handed you a fuckin 2-6.
That's how stoners are with weed, seriously. A person who doesn't smoke weed should not be taking a bong rip. That completely fucks you up. A couple really, really small puffs is enough to have enough of an effect to feel very under the influence, and yet the concept of only consuming that much is actually frowned upon by people that smoke weed regularly.
It's exactly like a guy going "hey come grab a drink with us" and then he hands you a 26er of rye.
Evan Sanchez
>Smoking the herbal Jew Good goy
Samuel Price
I know the feeling. This happens to me every time I try smoking and I have absolutely no good feelings associated to weed. I came to the conclusion that it simply isn't for me and have no plans on touching it ever again.
Dominic Rodriguez
Everyone has their vices.
Some people chase whores that stab them in the back, some people smoke joints that give them panic attacks. If you want to pretend you're a complete saint i have some news for you, nobody here is falling for it.
