strange problem...

I need help finding out what is wrong, Im very unhealthy and I would smoke marijuana and cigarettes almost all day everyday for about 5 years and then i went on vacation for 3 days without any marijuana. when i returned I smoked some and about half hour later felt higher than i ever have and began to have what ive been told was a panic attack in which i felt like I was about to die. For the past 5 days I have felt very wierd like im drunk or something. I feel like there is something wrong with my brain but sometimes I have a pain in my chest so I dont know what it could be. I feel ill and light headed and I cant do this anymore. If there are any ideas about what is happening Id really appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks everyone, I was on some forums last night for about 3 hours talking to others about similar situations, Im officially done with weed but need cigarettes just to stop from going crazy in the coming months. I tried to quit a little while ago but weed was supposed to be my fall back :P. I dont need rehab though, my last few experiences with weed (the initial episode and one that happened the other night) are enough to make me not want to smoke it at all. I just wish my head didnt feel so wierd, its really the worst part about it all.

It could be anxiety combined with withdraw symptoms or maybe you got a batch that was mixed with some other drug you didn't know about.

I agree with Vawn.
If you're strong enough you could propably make it on your own. If not, then you might need some support, someone to talk to, someone who "knows better" than you do.
Quit smoking is not easy, especially when your close ones smoke. Stop smoking for a while and you'll see A HUUUGE difference in your mood and health.
Ps: I don't think your symptoms have anything to do with marijuana. It's more psychological.
You'll be fine! :) send me a priv. mess if you need to talk!

Cheers

Quit smoking for sure! Sometimes marijuana (because it is illegal) can be laced with other drugs that can definitely cause brain damage.  Smoking cigarettes can cause lung/chest pain as well, even death! Even if the marijuana wasn't laced with anything, marijuana use for years at a time will inevitably cause your brain to slow down and can even stunt your brain's growth and development if you start/started before you were/are 25.  You should see a doctor and then seek some rehab or therapy to help.
