Extream anxiety and fear from smoking pot

[CEH151]

I tried smoking pot last night and had a horrible reaction. I first got  a ringing in my ears followed by a feeling of pressue like they needed to pop, then I felt something thick and warm run out my ear. I started to feel extreamly anxiety and was very scared. My heart pounded a mile a minute the whole time and left side of my chest felt like it was on fire. The house I was in felt like it kept changing, like the rooms where rearranging themselves. I started seeing bright specs of color everywhere on the tv screen, the whole thing went crazy. Other parts of the room were distorted as well.  I felt like I was going to pass out I started sweating, my hands got very thingly and I felt very sick. If I tried to move my feet felt like they were sinking into the floor. The whole thing felt like a bad LCD trip.  I would think it was laced with something but other people smoked the same thing and experienced none of what I did. In the past Ive always had bad reactions to pot but never to this extreame. Why in the world would this have happened?

Why do you keep smoking pot if you have "always had bad reactions" to it?

Yeah, a good idea would be to not smoke pot. Everyone in my family smokes pot, some smoke daily but if I do I will always have a panic attack.  It works on different peoples brains differently, just don't smoke it.  If you have some peer pressure just say you are looking at a job that has a drug test so you need to be clean.

Some people smoke to calm themselves, but it always gives me this feeling of being on edge lately too, lately being in the last few years.  So I just don't do it anymore....it just happens.  You could try baking brownies with it?!?!  Just a thought.

I smoked for many years, I ended up quiting because of the same kind of reactions you mentioned. I would suggest quiting now. You might have underlining anxiety issues.

hahaha you felt that way because it was some good ****!!!! haha you just had a panic attack. it happens to everyone who smokes weed at least once or twice... i have been smoking weed for 10yrs and im only 20.... my sister used to be able to smoke with me, but she cant anymore due to the panic attacks she gets when she does smoke... (of coarse when it happens, all i can do is laugh, becuz im too hi 2 understand that shes really freaking out...) my advise is if you cant do it... then dont... i cant drink liquor... but i can sure smoke. everybody is different just accept it, and if you wanna habbit X this one out and pick something else.

There's very little reason for anyone to stop taking cannabis because of anxiety, it's a very easy problem to overcome. I've been a daily user for over 30 years and can guarantee that this will solve most problems that users have with anxiety. Do NOT listen to the many trolls here trying to paint cannabis as leading to long lasting mental problems. It can certainly exacerbate any existing illness, but it certainly can't create one.
