Smoked weed for 8 years and had no issues until the last year. Was diagnosed with G.A.D. and was having CONSTANT panic attacks out of no where. Used to LOVE and enjoyed the body feeling I had whilst smoking, but now it just increases paranoia and panic for me and I've been afraid to smoke again since. Its now May 1st, 2024. Haven't smoked since September 2023. Have thought about going back to it due to my depression issues, but so afraid of having another panic attack.

I took a gummy, and I felt so high I thought I was dying. My heart was racing so fast I had my husband call the ambulance. My body experienced so many emotions. I cried, and I laughed uncontrollably. I was angry it was horrible. I thought it was over for me. Never again

Nobody understands this subject more than shaan. NOBODY. This the most helpful video ever concerning pot induced panic.

I’ve been going through derealisation for around a month now from a weed panic attack and it’s slowly getting better and better but it still come back sometimes I just can’t thankyou enough for your video it’s helped so much with recovery every time it comes back I watch this video and it makes it go away thankyou

everything you said made sense and i started feeling better by the end of this video, i don’t know how to thank you enough 🙏 god bless you my brother

For someone who got into the cycle this way I can say this is the only way out, choose life over how you feel you need to prioritize life make the goal to live life instead of overcoming these symptoms ik it seems weird but trust me it’s theeee way we must feel the discomfort and see it through to heal pain we must feel pain.

I needed this advice 5 years ago after my first panic attack, better late than never. Thanks

Mannn, this is the most helpful video I have ever watched!

Glad to see someone adress this. It does have its down sides along with medicinal uses that are beneficial.

Wow man wow I needed this Needed to be seen and heard Thank you

I smoked when I was 22 for the first time and had a massive panic attack. For 6 years after, I did not feel like myself. Panic attacks daily, feeling like I was in a dreamlike state, fogginess. My entire life and personality changed. Had to see a psychiatrist and was put on medication. I am now 46 years old and I tried it again about 2 years ago. It was great! It helped me relax and sleep at night...UNTIL I smoked while riding in a car with my sister & BAM....another severe severe panic attack! To the point I begged her to call 911! My heart was about to explode I thought and I could not breathe! It was horrible and took me right back to when I was in my 20's. Today I am again struggling with disassociation and panic attacks daily! I hate myself for ever trying it again. It set me so far back in my mental recovery and I am struggling!!! The anxiety and feeling foggy is unreal. I hate this!!! 😢😢😢

thank you for speaking so smoothly and gently. watchning this as im having one. helps a lot.

I needed this for so long

I use to smoke weed every so often for special occasions or just hanging out or relaxing. One day I was so stressed and freaked out after I graduated high school. I felt like I didn’t know what to do or where I was going with my life. I decided to smoke and only did like 2 hits and that’s when I had the worst panic attack. I had no idea what was happening. I felt like I couldn’t breath, I was shaking, my stomach and muscles were hurting like crazy and nothing felt real, I felt like I was going to die. I had Derealization for hours until it finally stopped. Next morning I thought I’d be okay and it would be gone but I had such severe symptoms that continued. I had a couple panic attacks afterwards that weren’t as bad but I got stuck in the cycle. I never smoked weed again after that because I had no idea what was going on and I was scared. I thought it caused some kind of medical problem. So I went to 4 different doctors just to find out nothing was wrong. I didn’t believe I had anxiety at first, but once I accepted it I felt a lot better and just decided to carry on with my life. I had just started my first job and was terrified but just continued living. Symptoms of dizziness, brain fog, uncontrollable shaking, and muscle aches eventually went away after a year but I stopped having panic attacks. Every so often I get severe symptoms like the ones I listed above but never had another panic attack again, but I still fear if I ever will again. But this time I’m prepared for it and have educated myself since then. I think before I knew I had panic attacks and anxiety, I followed the recovery method without realizing it and it worked for me. Hopefully my comment could help someone feel better about what they’re going through. Sometimes when I get intense symptoms I read other comments about other people’s experiences and how they recovered and it makes me feel better, hopefully mine can help someone else. ❤

You're fucking amazing dude. I'm a 17 year old who did 100mg THC on their first time, despite only trying to do 10mg and thought they fucked themselves over for life. Thank you so much. Never stop doing what you're doing. You're helping so many people. Gonna look into the recovery.

This is something that everyone I know experiences, but few discuss. Pot intensely triggers my fight, or flight response regardless of the setting. I can only take one small hit that I blow out immediately. I don’t take gummy’s because I can’t regulate the dose as well. After I’ve been high for an hour, & a half, I feel much more comfortable, & usually smoke more. Pot is extremely powerful these days, & when I get high I often find myself ruminating about all the worst aspects of my life. I have to tell myself that I’m not thinking straight, & that I’ll have to push these thoughts to the side for now. My neurotic brain definitely clashes with pot, but without the pot I’ve never had a panic attack.

I got my first panic attack from THC Vape. I started to cough badly and 10 minutes after i thought i wws dying. And got me into anxiety cycle. 7 months later i don't have panic attacks since 4 months, but i do still have symptoms. Still recovering

thank you sir

I smoked weed after 2 years off of it , when I did it hit me so hard that my vision went away for like 10 seconds & hands got sweaty and heart was pumping out of my chest

I’ve had these feelings for 3 years + really hoping this helps. The cycle of it’s in my head to actually worrying there’s something wrong physically and endlessly searching

This video need lot of likes😊thankyou bro

My anxiety was also started because off weed 10 months ago so much up and down but finally i am recoverd totally i got my life back and liviing freely 🎉🎉❤❤Thanks to shaan and thank to me that i believed in myself

Thankyou sir

Well we’ll said. Just subscribed

My first cannabis trip was with a vape pen. I was completely new to cannabis. 30 minutes later, I felt Ike I was dying, suffocating, heavy chest, and anxiety. I took a shower to calm down( big mistake).. it became worse. I said my last prayers and was waiting to die

Today I vape too much and had a panic attack. I thought I had an allergic reaction, freaked out and called 911. I really felt like I needed an adrenaline shot, thought my life was ending and it was pretty crazy, my bp also spiked to 210/120. Scary! 😮

i smoked weed for the first time and had a panic attack...its only now that I'm realizing it was a panic attack....ill never do that again😭😭😭

Wish I could have watched this 9 years ago. I had my first panic attack at 17 and it was deeply traumatic. My life switched from normal to horror in a few hours. My brain and body didn't respond anymore, I was stuck in a endless bad trip. I never fully recovered, I just got used to it. I got used to anxiety, obsessive toughts, paranoia, derealization, and many other symptoms. My life before that night almost feel like a dream to me. I don't even exist anymore.

I turn 50 next year. I've been dealing with this for almost 30 years. First time I've heard someone explain it perfectly. I constantly check for symptoms when out. Just thinking about going out, the symptoms appear. My subconscious mind takes over. I know nothing will happen, but that information doesn't help. I feel I may never live a normal life. I've spent thousands, tried ssri's. Now I have to take two pills to leave the house and I still have anxiety.

i used to smoke a lot of weed every day for 5 plus yrs one day had a panic attack and now one little hit gets me so high i freak out so iv stopped smoking 2 times and still sober today but still have a lot of anxiety and physical symptoms that make it so uncomfortable and hard to do everyday task.

Yes, this how I got into anxiety cycle. Took a gummy once for the first time. Almost three years later and I’m barely almost recovered from anxiety cycle.

Had a bad mdma trip..been trying to recover for the past 8 months

Shaan what is about social anxiety and a big mistrust in other people from smoking weed. Everytime i smoked i felt socially akward and cant talk to anybody and get paranoid. I quit smoking but im sure my social anxiety comes from those bad weed trips and two years ago this lead into a panic attak after i couldnt handle it anymore

Felt like i was having a heart attack, heart beating & racing ao fast, sucks bc i used to smoke so much until one nite it caused a panic attack & i thought i was dying & having a heart attack, even called ambulance, havnt smoked since & it fkn sucks😢

It has helped me more than pills

I had a bad panic attack last year because I took a 80mg cannabis oil pill, it was pretty bad and uncomfortable and definitely scary, took me several tests, echo scans and a Holter monitor just to convince me and turns out my heart was perfectly healthy but my anxiety says otherwise but then I realised it's just that anxiety so I just continue to do what you said (even though this was before this) but recently I got back into because of a recent trigger and other stresses but I'm slowly getting better with some set backs of course but I'm getting around to accepting it now

ive already gone by dpdr once and i will again, its all about taking it in, being used to it, accepting it and not letting it make you fearful anymore, its hard cuz your nervous system is on high alert all the time so its very easy to trigger but its not impossible, if I did you can. Right now its the 2nd time im having it and I could cry abt myself or whatever but what does that get me? instead its better for me to work on the things i can change and that will speed my recovery. Also, ANYONE can get cured from dpdr, when u see people saying they had it for 20 years its not bc it was meant to be like that, but because they never got used to it and accepeted it, so therefore it only got worse. Dont see dpdr as a curse, but rather as a opportunity to discipline and make yourself stronger, for me getting them dpdrs is like a boost that strengthens you.

Had my first panic attack. It was scary. But then I noticed I lived through it so now there isn't a reason to panic. I Wonder how many people suffer from panic attacks in a 3rd world country?

Had my first ever panic attack after a mixture of weed and coke, 13 years later and the bastards are still wrecking havoc on me. Haven’t touched drugs since that day but I can’t seem to break the panic cycle. They seem to clear up for a few months and then come back with a vengeance. Had to take almost 3 months off work on and off since august and it’s getting to the point I’m worried I’ll lose my job. Actually drives me mad

I remember back in high school, I would smoke everyday, and all it did was make me feel a little funny and hungry. Then, one day, I smoked some actual strong stuff and ended up having a full-blown psychedelic-like experience that lasted hours and caused me to freak out.

hello whats the application u use to call ur clients

i quit cannabis (edibles) two weeks ago. i was a microdoser, maybe 5-10MG, and used it for fun for about a year and then i developed an anxiety disorder/gastric issues. weed def helps DISTRACT u but it doesn’t really cure anything… in fact, i’ve had multiple panic attacks while the high kicks in. i honestly think cannabis is part of the reason i have it because i get derealization and just disconnect from the planet. then the existential crisis kicks in & nothing seems “real” been on zoloft for 3 & a half months & once i get the root of this anxiety under control-i’ll slowly taper off that & get to a spot where i won’t rely on any substance to get thru the day. bless up.

I smoked weed from 13 years old for years all day, but panic attacks started the day I gave up, and never really stopped

Very nice video! Which indica strain do you recommend for beginners? I used to smoke weed like 7 years ago but i had a very traumatic panic attack and since then i didn't smoke anymore! Does anyone can help me decide how to start slowly and right? I just want something that can make me think less fast, to help with my anxiety and to sleep better :-) i'd love some recommendations!

Heavy smoker for 16 years.....8 of those years on the latter end almost exclusively smoked dabs from an enail at home and a 9 inch American glass bong with a cyclone at work. So im blazed around the clock. 1 day out of no where, i got a panick attack and then atarted to havw them frequently when i smoked. Still get it sometimes but its starting to fade

I am bi polar 1 and 2 and something else like that. I went from low thc weed to a higher version. Thats when the attacks started. I have lots of worry about my life and where I am going. So it caused these weird feelings and the weed just made it worse because I was constantly thinking bad stuff that happened while high. I did not smoke for 3 months and the attacks were not there but the doctors put me on Wellbutrion. I read alot of bad stuff about this medicine and I would rather smoke a little instead of taking these pills. When do you think I can smoke again? It will not be close to how I use to smoke, every day for a long time. 30+years It calmed me down and I even exercized more. Now these pills make me do nothing but I have no attacks. I'll get a lower thc buds because when I smoked them before , I had no attacks. It only happened recently when I changed strains. And stupidly, I got it from someone I do not know.

I got into a panic attack from cocaine even after so long of doing it and after that panic attack that I first blamed the drug on I still had anxiety and panic attacks . Went to the hospital about 8 times and they cleared me from any heart problems and I fell into a cycle where I went in for months and it felt horrible .

I mixed sativa with alcohol It was just a moment i was going to the store to buy something i didnt even go inside it was just a moment someone is standing in front of me telling me that i stole a bottle of water but i didn't even remember that i even went inside next stop was my house it was even more scarier another phase started i was standing in front of my door couldnt find my keys as i was looking for my keys i was back in the elevator like i was teleporting myself there and it was that on the loop standing in front of my door and back in the elevator and it felt like forever i was scared as hell once i got inside my house i was afraid to even leave my room after that or even look through the window

What about extreme fear and profuse sweating???...Are those symptoms of a panic attack..Because i drunk a weed infused drinķ (a small amount by the way) three weeks ago and initially the experience was cool...everything seemed funny to me because i would laugh at the slightest thing...but after a while i was just very scared...i felt the friend that gave me the drink wanted to kill me...and that was the dominant thought through out the rest of the experience...i was in a state of extreme fear and very worried...

I smoked weed and was panicking so bad that it lasted 2 hours and was throwing up then went home and felt weird and then my chest started hurting again so I told my uncle and he gave me a anxiety med to try to calm me I went to sleep and woke up never felt the same

So how can I go back to smoking weed again? It started when i was 15, I’m 23 now and still can’t smoke without getting panic attacks (or paranoia) at the very least. Does this mean I’ll never be able to indulge again? I mean shit, it’s been this long without it but, I do want to be able to enjoy it again, especially since I’am around it all the time.

I mean some of the stressors are irrational like you think someone could be plotting to kill you or do something bad to you, or you're just paranoid about random things that aren't really happening or likely not to happen. I have seen this a lot with stoners.

I used to smoke a lot daily until one day I had to much had a panic attack and have had anxiety ever since that was 20 years ago

i smoked 3 weeks ago first time i use for recretional but i think i smoked a lot cause i smoked 3 dab pen, before i never have mental issues then after i smoke i feel so much severe paranoid and nervous, and then i think its dissappear after the weed is gone but after 3 weeks i still feel paranoid sometimes and im feel very nervous when i hang around new people, and when i think my life problem, how can i overcome this im very frightened that this will be my new life with this! please!

i also got panic attacks 3 times and having problems breathing till now what to do i don’t know

I smoked weed and it made my throat and mouth kinda numb and I couldn’t feel myself swallow so I panicked the next day it stayed for a bit and it went away it’s been 2 weeks since that happened I been stressed cause of some things that I been going through and I kinda started overthinking about that numb feeling in my throat and mouth that i suddenly felt it and I freaked out and it ended up sticking with me idk how to describe it it’s not really numb cause I can feel and taste but it just feels of and weird I constantly find myself swallowing and everytime I eat it’s like a disconnection with my mouth and brain is this dpdr??

In anxiety disorder, the head is always heavy, sometimes it hurts, there is a very bad feeling. I feel like something is going to happen to my head. Then I get very scared. Cityscan came up normal. Is it normal to have anxiety? How to recover from such severe headache. Has anyone recovered from such a situation?😢

is there anyone who got back to smokeing after these panic attacks? i got my first panic attack high i didnt smoke for 2 months in this time my anxiety got way better but i tried to smoke again and i was really anxious and uncomfortable but i didnt had a full blown panic attack it was just a really bad high

Same with me. I had 1 edible as a prank from a friend. I thought i was going to die that night. Its been 3 years and im still recovering from symptoms. Its been really hard the last 2 years. I lost 50lbs weight in one month the first month. No medical issues at all. Did everything hospitals have to offer.

I am 32 years old boy start pain under my brest nipple. Doctor say I have to examine cure needle biopsy to check this is cancer or not. I am so scared because last many years I am struggling with depression.... plz reply

Bro you outlined this really well. But sadly nothing you suggested can cure it?

My father gave me $45k for rehabilitation, how much mentorship could you provide with that?

what about if you did edibles for a year? is it the same as doing one time? is it still all my nervous system and my brain is ok?

I thought I was laced by k2 or spice I been smoking normally forever and then took a 5 day break came back hit my bong n boom thought I was on shrooms or sum

I’m feeling this right now 3 days after. I just want it to stop, I want to feel normal again. I can’t sleep. Is there a way to speed up the recovery?

Took gummy weed 11 months ago and now I’m so close to full recovery. Just be patient, get distracted a lot, and go to gym. Also repent and believe in Jesus so you don’t make stupid decisions again. 😂

I wish I could use weed . It really helps BUT my brain sucks . I have determination , anxiety , existential ocd and depression . I used for 8 months and everything was good . One day I got a paranoid episode . I had this 2 times :/

I have friends who literally can’t believe that Marijuana could be anything other than relaxing.

I love you

Thts how mi panic attack happen but from a weed edible gumie i thought i was diying

Smoked 20+ years. Had my share of crappy trips etc. Last summer I took the smallest blast and looking back Im sure i was borderline having a psychotic episode lol. Was horrible. Havent smoked since. Dont want to go through that one again 😂

Lol dunno if I should cry or laugh but I am here because all yall know why, fucking hell but it does seem weird though. Shit. 😅 Still acting normally in the house though, can't let mom and dad know... At all. Fuck this shit I got into this to forget Alcohol, but I will just rejoin my boxing gym, this ain't giving me what I want. No offense guys.

Haha alright, we get it, you dont want to knock on weed use, but please stop trying to over-caveat its "not the weeds fault" we get it. It might not be the weeds fault but it definitely started from that lol. Rather than emphasizing "its not because of the weed" we should emphasize that most first-time users arent aware of this risk and a lot of people probably WOULDNT HAVE panick disorder if they decided to not use it

I had a horrible panic attack the first time i smoked weed ....never did it again lol

I'm guessing legitimate recovery coaches and addiction therapists are regulated. Mentorship programs probably aren't. Scamming emotionally frail people is pretty low. A few encouraging words helps, nobody should have to pay this guy to say them. Accomplished people mentor. Who is this guy? What has he accomplished? Normally you would ask exactly what kind of service was being offered but I don't think he could answer that. How much? Or blah blah blah PANIC!!! blah blah blah NEVEROUS SYSTEM!! blah blah blah

My friend found some bad weed. I was smoking weed while playing video games. I felt bad so I closed the game, alt f4. I thought I was having a heart attack and ran to the hospital. We did tests with the cardiology department. When everything was normal, I realized it was a panic attack. Now this is important. The symptoms started while I was returning home from work. I will tell you why. The brain knows that I smoked marijuana in my room and that there was weed in the house. So on the way home, the brain made the connection. First we need to understand the cause Then we can solve it.

Not blaming the drug for pulling the trigger is like blaming the gun on the shooter
