Marijuana-induced Panic Attacks (AND HOW TO ELIMINATE THEM) 

I really enjoyed the feedback I got from this video, however -- I felt like I wasn't fully satisfied with this video. I made a part 2 of this video, going into experiencing Depersonalization and Derealization after the Panic Attack. Hope it helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0ffw25Tel0w.html

Once you have that first panic attack from Cannabis it's hard to stop it happening again and again the next few times you get high. Thinking about that first panic attack next time you get high will trigger another attack. Then next time you want to get high your previous 2 panic attacks will be on your mind and.....You see where this is going. I smoked Cannabis heavily for 5 years with no problems. Then out of nowhere one night it caused me to have that first anxiety/panic attack. Really bad chest pains and one of my arms had shooting pains through it. Basically anxiety/panic disguised as the signs of a heart attack. Ever since then I can't get high without getting these "heart attack" symptoms. I thought I was the only one until I read through these comments! In the end I decided to just quit weed altogether. I tried edibles to see if that would change anything but it didn't. Same chest pains and same panic attack. Sucks because I used to enjoy being high! Certain music and TV/RU-vid just hits different when you're high 😔 and obviously food. If anyone does end up having an attack try looking up some breathing techniques on RU-vid. Helped me last time I got high. Other things I've heard that work are chewing peppercorns, utilizing lemons + their peel or using CBD to counter the THC and help balance you out when you are overly high. Stay safe and remember you're not going to die! You're just high. It will pass and be over soon. Drink some water, take some slow, deep breaths and try to relax. And stop watching videos like this when you're high 🤣 Watching videos about anxiety and panic attacks sounds like a good way to trigger it 🙄 go watch some breathing techniques and listen to some Gunna or D Block Europe! That stuff be hitting different when you're as high as you are 🤣 ✌

When I smoke my heart beats very fast and I overthink it thinking I’m gonna have a heart attack...

My solution is to start of with an EXTREMELY SMALL hit. I'm talking about where you inhale for less than a quarter of a second. When I started doing this I got way less anxiety from weed.

Consistent smoker for 13 years here. No anxiety, and never experienced panic attacks until about 2 months ago. Had 6 panic attacks back-to-back and ended up in the ER with elevated heart rate, high blood pressure, intrusive thoughts, sense of impending doom, could not stop thinking about mom and dad passing away. It even felt like I was dying, and felt the effects for about a week after I stopped smoking. Almost like psychosis. I started exercising and walking 2 miles a day. I haven't smoked since that last attack but feel excellent now. I miss cannabis every second of every day. It is so strange to see how many folks have dealt with the exact same scenario. I'm going to try again after I have put some time and mileage in between the last attack someday. Could be years though. Best of luck to everyone. It's all in our head.

I had my first panic attack induced by pot first in 1984. It struck again in 86 and 88. It then started everyday without smoking it and screwed my life for many years thereafter. No one even knew about panic disorder. No doctor at an ER, no one. So I felt as if I had some dreaded disease. It wasn’t until the early 90s that I tried Prozac that I found real relief. I also started doing things I was most afraid of, standing in line, driving at night, over long bridges and flying. No of that was easy. But once I broke the cycle, life became almost normal. SSIs really do help. But so does behavior therapy. Although I drive for a living today, I still take Prozac. The only thing to worry about is to not drink alcohol while taking it as boosts the effects of drinking by a lot. Don’t do it.

Really never thought there were this many people who struggled with this exact same issue. I’m an addict who’s been using opioids, benzos, alcohol, meth, etc on and off for nearly a decade and it all started with me moving from weed to harder stuff, for many reasons, but one of the biggest was because I couldn’t handle weed anymore. I had a terrible trip on a research chem and ever since that I felt like I was having a horrific panic attack/Heart attack just about EVERY time I smoked. I don’t smoke for the most part anymore, but I tried picking up a vape pen a few months ago and giving that a try, and I still got that anxious, chest pain, fast heart rate feeling. I’ve been sober but struggling immensely with anxiety these past few months and idkk if I’ll ever smoke again, but if I do I feel so much better just knowing that there are so many people with this same issue. Thank you for the video, and especially thank you guys for the comments. It’s given me a lot to think about

'focus on long term freedom, not short term comfort' That's a good mantra.

I used to love smoking weed. Smoked from 20 to 27 years then I had a panic attack and the fear stayed with me till my next toke. That was 6 years ago. When I was 30 I experienced panic and anxiety without the weed, it's stayed with me and I've learnt to deal with it and not be afraid of anxiety. I would love to be able to smoke again, perhaps this time I'll be able to manage it. I miss smoking and need a smoke so bad during Covid

I use to be able to out smoke the friend group now I can barely smoke a blunt by myself wtf happened

This is where my panic attacks started i remember smoking a massive bong then all of a sudden my heart started racing, i had tunnel vision, everything immediately became delayed i felt helpless and completely out of control. I just kept touching my face because it felt so laggy like id touch my face then id feel it like seconds later. I just jumped out my window and went for a long ass walk in my socks to try sober up. I never done weed again i was literally saying ill never do this again. The last 2 other times i had another panic attack was at a restaurant after drinking and at work under stressful workload. Now i suffer from anxiety and i have this fear of getting panic attacks anytime, my biggest fear is I’m afraid to lick my lips constantly because i remember whenever i had my first attack the delay in feeling my lips when i licked or bit them was freaking me out cause i couldn’t feel it my mind was so delayed. Every time i looked around it was all delayed i had no control over my senses whatsoever.

I appreciate this vid man, i had a seizure the other day while i was high n when i got high a few days later i started panicking very hard n thought I was gna have another. This really opened my eyes to what that was, im bunning up again today so I'm gna use what u've said to help me out. BIG LOVE man all the best :)

I thought I was alone in feeling this way when I smoked, this helped open my eyes to why every time I smoke I have a bad trip. Thank you. I’m going to work on it now because I know it’s a process but this was my first step❤️

I first smoked when I was in seventh grade. I would smoke with my older brother and his friends. I handled it really good. It was super fun. Sometimes I felt relaxed and sometimes everything was so funny. My senior year of high school, which was last year, I smoked 3 times. The first time was during school and I had a pretty good time. My friends made fun of me cuz of how stoned I looked lol. The next time was with my friends and the one after that was with my girlfriend. Those two times were the worst times of my life. The good thing was that they were both during the night so I forced myself to sleep to get rid of the effect. I haven't smoked since. My heart was pumping so fast and I was overthinking my whole life and everything. It was scary. I think this was caused by a change in my personality over the years. When I was in middle school, I was confident and I was the guy to make the whole class laugh and stuff. But as I got older and throughout high school, I was known as the quiet and shy dude. I developed some really bad social anxiety that affects me a lot. I wouldn't be able to tell this to someone face to face. I would just freeze. I've only told this to my girlfriend. And as I struggle, I try to fix it but idk how.

This literally happened to me yesterday I ate too much from a brownie and it hit after 30 minutes and at first it was fun but once it hit fully I was so scared I heard voices but like scary whispers and laughing it was 1 in the morning and I heard cars outside but there were no cars and I closed my eyes and my heart was literally beating out of my chest so I repeated the phrase "i am calm it's all in my head" until my heart was finally back to normal but then i started feeling dizzy like I was going to throw up and I avoided it as much as possible because I hate it so I just held my hand on my heart and slowly brought it down to my stomach and it really calmed me down I ended up falling asleep at 3 in the morning and woke up a little high so I went back to sleep for about 3 hours and felt so drowsy throughout the whole day and I still feel tired the last bad trip was off smoking but it went away in a couple hours but this was the worst trip by far hopefully it doesn't continue with smoking

After smoking daily for over 8 years one morning I was smoking a joint and I had a horrible panic attack. Ever since then (that was 10 years ago) I still don't feel right when I use cannabis. It seems that the only time I can handle it and actually chill is late at night when I'm watching TV alone.

I'm in my early 30s, and I've been smoking since I was 9. Just this past summer, I smoked, and, I started breathing heavy, getting dizzy, and nauseous. It doesn't happen when I don't smoke. It's weird. I think my smoking days are coming to an end.

It's a conspiracy.....I've been dealing with this for a long time...now it's not all strains but some increase anxiety attack

ever since my anxiety attack from weed, its kinda stuck to me till now even tho i haven’t smoked in almost 3 years, i still feel heart stuff and get panic attacks

anyone finding weed pens are triggering their panic attacks? Sativa in particular. Having many of the symptoms i fully understand this is what is happening now . It's brutal. Anyone have lingering head aches

I used to enjoy smoking. But all it took once that one bad trip. And once the thought of death enters your mind, it’s a hard thought to filter out. And now, I deal with thanatophobia regularly. I don’t know whether it’s a “bad trip” or whether you really are subjecting your mind to a gateway for demonic voices to enter. You can overcome a lot of barriers in life. But you can’t overcome death knowing that it’s going to happen but not knowing how and when.....and it’s nothing you can do to stop it. Smoking weed induces this thought and I hate it so bad.

It is truly amazing how few videos on this topic exist on yt.

Does anyone else feel like they have like an air bubble inside of them ?

Facts going through this now

I used to burn, b4 i got my career job. We get lots of randoms. I had a 30 day vacation, given to senior employees that are eligible for retirement. ( see if you want ut or not ).. you actually have to put in for retirement to be eligible )I love my job, and never want to ever retire!, but wanted the vacation. My 2 day, there was a big party i was at.. i drank alot, and took 2 hits from the J. Next day .. i was panicking. I knew i couldn't return to work, i might get a random test. I got anxiety and was paranoid. I had unexpected stressful events happen at this time, and i became overwhelmed ?, i didn't understand.... i started having attacks and was in fear always... i couldn't return to work on time, and they retired me. It broke my heart. I totally lost it. Now im a basket case. Living with anxiety and depression. 😢

I used marijuana for 15 yrs, then it suddenly gave me panic attacks. I hate them. I feel terrible.

I’ve been smoking very regularly for the past two years. I’ve had a couple bad trips, but overall pretty great experiences. Lately I’ve noticed it has induced panic attacks more. I had one specific bad trip that was horrifying because I had too much and my brain keeps telling me I’m going to go back to that place. Being in a comfortable environment helps a lot. I find putting an ice pack on my head and forcing myself to take deep slow breaths really helps. Also, just don’t do too much.

Just happened to me like 3 weeks ago. Really bad experience, went to the ER thinking I was dying. My heart rate was in the 130s, but they still said it was just panic stuff. Since then I've had several more panic attacks and just overall high anxiety and some depersonalization. Just got on Lexapro a few days ago. Ideally I'd like to tackle this with therapy and wean off of the lex, we'll have to see. Shit sux

When I smoke I feel everything in my body and it makes me feel like my heart beat is stopping

Started smoking about 6 months ago. And would smoke often. About two weeks ago I had a panic attack while I was high. I also am vaping and now I am having heart palpitations. I’m giving up both smoking and vaping and now I don’t feel like me anymore. Any advice?

I smoked for the first time two years ago and have only smoked two times after that, in which each time I had a panic attack. Ever since those ive had horrible anxiety and have been having derelization episodes and everything I eat and drink make me have a thought in my head that its gonna do something to me.

Damn. I had my first panick attack every while I was high alone at 3am. I was the only one awake in my house and I had no clue what was going on and felt like I was gonna be dead. Looked at myself in the mirror and saw myself getting pale. This happened 2 months ago and ever since I've only smoked once or twice since i'm scared it'll happen again

This is what started my anxiety in 2006...... never had anxiety until I had a bad trip and then it crept into my life when not smoking weed.

I can drink 20 beers in one night and nothing happen me but if I take just one pull of joint I have to go home and be alone (at this point I can even enjoy it) but if I’m high in public I feel like I’m naked, is like I have the feeling that everyone can see what I’m thinking, I can’t explain it, don’t know maybe it is just because we’re not used, because even my friends that smoke joints like cigarettes now, I remember them back in the days when they just started getting high they was nervous, you couldn’t had joke with them, and I remember someone fainted as well

That’s crazy I just had my first weed induced panic attack and the thought of my impending doom actually made it worse. I was smoking almost everyday though and taking big hits, I’m sure that didn’t help either

WOW!!! I took a cbd gummie and I misread the dosage. I had a VERY bad trip. This was back in November of 2020. I'm JUST now getting better from having anxiety. This makes so much sense.

To stop panic attacks is to sit in front of a fan and keep a cold drink by you

I had one and i threw up from it

first time i smoked weed i was panicking i thought i was gonna die 💀 i felt everything moving i looked at roof and it was moving and i almost cried i was panicking so much my heart felt like it was beating faster and faster until i ate a bag of chips and passed out

I smoked weed every day in my early teens all the way to my early 20 s it really fucked me up baad anxiety depression paranoia panic attacks for no reason Im completely smoke free at around 25 and I’m 28 now I’m still suffering with anxiety but it’s gotten better since

I used to smoke marijuana and never even thought of a temporary marijuana induced panic attack would be permanent, wow. What I'm trying to figure out is if I were to smoke a little bit like three hits what would I do if I got panic attacks?

I dont smoke weed as the last 2 times I did, I had anxiety attacks... for anyone scared of it, after you smoke and you feel it coming on.. grab a shaker of black pepper and take slow deep breaths through your nose (with the jar right at your nose).. this will calm you down and give you something to focus on. It does work.. I fumbled around trying to find out how to get out of the state I was in and read it somewhere, and it did work.. not smoked since though as if I have to do that all the time, then whats the point. If this helps one person, Im happy

When you feel panic, don’t smoke anymore! Then taper yourself off it, then quit

I smoked for a few years then out of nowhere one day it made me feel like I was super cold and couldn’t stop shivering then after that every time I tried smoking I’d feel so sick and feel like I was having panic attacks

My main problem was that I'd eat food quickly or eat dry food and this combined with cotton mouth/ being high would cause me to believe that food was stuck down my throat. This would cause a panic reaction that would transform into a bad trip and fear of weed in general. This same panic would carry over to eating in general when I was already anxious/ stressed/ tired/ or just eating too quickly. I'd eat something and believe that it was stuck in my throat/ could kill me. I've experienced this enough (and survived) that even if I'm high as fuck I can still rationalize my way out of it that I'm not choking and it never bothers me when I'm not high anymore. I can still enjoy weed but I have to be careful/ mindful if I'm eating when I'm high. I haven't smoked in months and I don't miss it, however. Anyone else have a similar situation?

Bong hit some CBD strain. It will show you the difference in feeling. Very relaxed body high. Add small amount of THC. Try a 50/50 THC/CBD strain, may be hard to find.

Don’t blame your mental problems on weed. Born in 1949 smoking weed since 1966 and zero panic attacks.

I smoked with my brother and got a panic attack. It completely flipped my life upside down. Now i gotta seek help to fix this.

smoking causes me hella health anxiety

I believe when you’re in a hard place in your life or you know you have done wrong or need to level up in life etc. it makes you think hard and lowkey shows you the truth. I believe it exposes in a way like shrooms does. Only speaking from experience because I smoked heavy . Hella woods etc . And one day I looked at the blunt and thought about my life and put it out . Tried smoking on and off and it wasn’t the same. So I don’t even smoke no more or anything just Cbd

I even had a panic attack after using weed for the first time. My heart started beating hard and I started sweating profusely, and my face became yellow like acid 😂 and nausea, difficulty digesting food, blurred vision, and I see flashes of light and I cannot sleep, but I noticed that it decreases day after day. Until it gradually disappeared

I've found D8 to be much friendlier on the nervous system, I used to get lit without batting an eye, I had an unlimited tolerance in highschool, now im a 2 hit chump scared of anxiety when I touch D9

Smoked weed daily for about 10 years, never had any issues. Then in a matter of a month or two I started getting slight anxiety just after smoking weed, which would go away. But after a month or two I had a major panic attack and I wasn't even getting high at the time - I was at work, with some stress and working fast. Ever since smoking weed almost always caused me anxiety which made me quit it altogether. I kind of tricked my body into reacting this way because of worries I have regarding unfair testing practices for drivers I might become a victim of, etc. Now I just don't smoke and am better off. I wish I didn't have to go through that stress and I am very angry that I had to give up something I like because I was pushed into anxiety by the law but I guess sometimes you can't afford to wait around for justice and just need to adjust yourself to life... it's only worth what it is because of the assholes you share it with anyways, be they stupid coppers or others :)

Ive learnt that i have to set myself up for a successful smoke. If you smoke to run away from thoughts, ur anxiety will grow and will focus on any un dealt with issues. Ive have found that a few hits from a water pipe has the best results too. 99% of the time i have issues is too much thc intake because ive watched a dope as yola video and had 10 lung hits of gorilla glue

Sounds about right lol! You're worried that you're going to have another panic attack so you do have another panic attack, and it creates a shitty paradox of panic attacks until you start to sober up. It's truly a horrible cycle, and can be very traumatic.

Honestly I think my shit was laced I smoke weed every day and I picked up some weed like a week or 2 ago and I've smoked it twice and it made my ears start ringing to where I couldn't hear and I started to lose my vison it was going black and my heart was hurting from beating so fast and my chest was hurting I was super fucking hot as well and felt like I was gonna die if anyone has felt these symptoms smoking could you help me out and lmk what you guys think cause I'm scared to smoke cause I've never felt like that before definitely not going to smoke the shit I have now but I just want some help to see if anyone's experienced this

I've been an everyday smoker but i wouldn't say a heavy smoker, since the last 5 months i have been working from home i have started smoking much more which in general should mean my tolerance is up however it seems the opposite as I have been getting these anxiety & panic attacks while high, it's exactly as you explained where my mind would worry about something then all of a sudden my body would react & as soon as i know I'm getting anxiety then within 5-10 minutes I'm having a bad panic attack & having it while high is much worst than when you are having one when you are not high believe me, what i don't understand is why all of a sudden now after all these years of smoking I'm getting these annoying marijuana induced attacks...last week i had a cold which i also lost my taste buds & smell, this is something that's happened to me probably 50 times in my life & never had issues as knowing a bad cold with congested nose would 99% of the time take away your smell & taste buds, for some reason it triggered an extreme panic attack for me lasting much longer than they usually do (I've had a history of panic attacks when i was younger) which made matters much worst as i was high & the fact my taste buds & smell would not come back as i was sick just made it worst, what I'm trying to say is having a panic attacks while high is not a good thing & unfortunately I have been getting them recently even though I have been smoking regularly for many years, might be my body telling me to it's time to stop, do you think the brain could be doing this as a way to tell me to stop getting high? I know it sounds abit stupid but in all honesty I'm literally afraid to get high now knowing some bad thought could trigger an attack

Sad how weed can induce anxiety attacks when it’s supposed to do the opposite 😞

all never smoke again or eat edibles

I was smoking my brother dab pen at least 5 hits and before this, I haven’t smoke in a month or so and I always would smoke everyday but I stopped. Anyways, I was feeling fine the first 10 minutes, then I saw visuals like two eyes were looking at me and and then I started to have a panic attack. This had never happen to me when I smoked and I thought I was gonna die so I went to the hospital and was going nuts lol. I wasn’t high to be honest, I think my anxiety kicked in and went crazy

Big facts right here, thank you!

I felt like a dead person want to get back into life i could hear my voice 10x i could hear my blood flow ws not sure if its a dream x dream x dream horrible movement

I had an awful weed trip which was like a week ago i never smoked more after and im getting continuous panic attacks and im pissed about it cuz even if i feel a little dizzy i freak out and think the weed did something to me (I didn’t smoke weed before only like 2 times)

most people dont even know if they had indica or sativa and they dont know amounts start small like 2 mg. Indica is in the couch. Sativa doesnt do wellfor me

This is why I will not smoke because I know I will experience a panic attack

It’s all about management, don’t over do it, learn how to be healthy, learn what works best for you in many aspects If you really care, do something about it

Used to love weed so much

Had a really bad panic attack smoking his bong I couldn't stop laughing for 20 minutes straight

One hell of a bad trip indeed. I never had a panic attack, or took so much thc at once before. It’s been 3 months of pure fucking hell. It gave me OCD the shortness of breath made me manually breathe and then I got stuck focusing on my breathing. Not to mention the DP/DR and now I’m severely depressed and exhausted. I kept reading about people who just live with this for 10+ years and that even ssri don’t help. So now I’m contemplating suicide. I can’t believe how much it escalated.

It’s worth talking to a mental health specialist if this begins to interfere with your life. I am on Klonopin for anxiety attacks and it really helps stave them off. If you don’t want a benzo , then talk to a doctor about propanolol, a beta blocker. You can take a dose before a stressful situation or in the midst of an anxiety attack and the drug will block binding of the activating adrenaline to their receptors. Your heart rate will slow down, blood pressure will drop and the physical symptoms are reigned in.

My heart rate dropped to something/36 my vision was getting blurry and black around my eyes I fought and fought to not pass out then I smoked again the next day just a tiny bit and yeah same shit again but less aggressive cuz the joint was small

Search "Night Lights by Gerry Mulligan".

I did noticed my heart racing but I was thinking it's the grabba that's what people say in case people might not know Grabba is tobbaco leaf that could be mix with weed

Okay I was reading the comments and idk if you guys where using carts or edibles. When I smoked flower I've never had anxiety nor depression even after months of breaks. When i took my first high potency edible and smoked 90% thc carts that's when it went down hill. I think it depends on the potency and how much you can take. Majority of people go overboard with the shit an think they need some high thc ranging between 70% thc and above to feel some. If you have a low tolerance like me it only takes 1 to 2 hits to set me straight. Stop trying to smoke like 40 hits and remember check the potency of your weed. You can override your canaboinoid system, thats what causes your body to spaz tf out. Also moderation. Remember snoop dog and wiz Khalifa been smoking weed since the 80s and 90s an never showed any signs of these symptoms. That's because they stick to flower, I've never seen snoop hit a cart or edible.

It feels really weird, never felt this before, I took ¼ of a tlc gummy, after the trip I woke up and I felt weird, now I'm kinda focusing on my heart rate, that's freaking me out in a way that I never felt, no pain or anything just like I know I got to stop it, but can't find the way out of the "cycle" I don't want to feel this way anymore.. help.

I wish I had this video when I smoked k2 in 2013

Have i got this or depersonalisation basically i smoked last 1 month ago and 2 days ago i just randomly feeling high

Weed is like vaporised anxiety to me

Same here 2 years ago weed triggered my anxiety shortness of beart pain in chest nd hand nd choking in throat pressure on heart and feel like i will die

I smoked one time after work and had to ride my bicycle home in the dark. My tolorence was waaay lower than it used to be. All of the sudden I started questioning things like: ''Am I going really slow or is this normal speed? - Well what is normal speed? - Can i assume the average?'' ''What if my parents want to talk to me when I get home? I'll tell them I'm tired and rush to bed.. No no, that's weird- But whats normal?'' And literally a fucking cop pulled up next to me driving really slow checking me out (At least I thought they did but idk maybe it was because I was high) My heart was beating like crazy and I was planning on what would happen if they pulled me over. I would tell them I'm having an Asthma attack and I need help, that would explain my weird behaviour. They didn't stop me, so I got home and went straight to bed and started worrying about my career choice and all that stupid stuff we worry so much about :) So yeah that was last time I smoked and it's probably 7 months ago now.

Had this happen after eating edibles and it was pretty bad! I was experiencing something I never have and didn't know what the fuck was going on! I thought I was brain dead trapped somewhere with no way out...I thought I was going to be permanently be fucked up for life! I couldn't see straight my eye sight had a delay so everywhere I looked my mind was playing catch up... my brother was saying calm down breath it's not real so I tried to calm down. After we drove to a mall I tried to get out and couldn't I wasnt 100% out of it yet... later that night I had to catch a flight and after I came down off it I thought I was ok. Got to the airport and it started again an I was about to freak out because at that point I felt something more was wrong since I came down from the high. I some how made it on the plane with another problem knowing now I'm stuck on the plane, what if I freak out again? At this point I'm about to freak out again but I managed to stay calm an haven't experienced it again. I hope that's the end because it really makes you feel like your losing your mind!

I’ve only been smoking for about a month and I’ve only had bad experiences when I smoke sativa strains. The anxiety is scary as hell and lasts for days.

So I smoke half a joint the other day in my garage and so I went in my house to sit on my couch and I started to feel paranoid like time was slowed down and I started to feel really light as if I was just floating or falling and I got yup and my heart beat started to beat faster and faster I was scared because I felt like I was going to die and I kept think that I was going to die.

I quit weed 3 days ago and now randomly my mind goes blank I get a strong metal taste and I sweat and I feel in danger and goes away 30 seconds later

can someone tell me why now after yrs of smoking Marijuana all of a sudden, I get anxiety/panic attacks from smoking

This actually really helped me thanks sir

I use to love tree and everything you said happens to me it fucken sucks feels like dying and can’t breath

I know it’s an older video but I had to like and subscribe the way you presented the intro solid production man good work

This has made my life so much harder

explained it perfectly!!!!

Weed makes me think that i was living in a matrix-like simulation bcuz i had weird illusion while i was sleep deprived, now it gives me panick attack and feels like im going insane. I feel like this life is just a dream or illusion. I hate this depersonnalization and derealization

everytime i smoke my heart beats fast and im scared im going to die of a heart attack or something and freak out, then i feel good after 1 or 2 hours weed is just not for me. my drug of choice was always oxycodone. never had nothing freak me out on oxy always felt super combfortable and talkative. combfortable in my skin

I tuink drinking lots of water helps with my bad high becuase im doing a repetive action and im focusing on my swallowing

I had a bad trip from K2 or "Spice" had a panic attack. Throwing up and crying for an ambulance. The trip was over quickly. But I went back to regular weed and it made me freak out again and cause me to panic again. I wish I could enjoy marijuana again like I use to

This guy is talking directly to me.

I used to love weed, now I’m scared of it

This video/comment section have been so helpful. It’s nice knowing that I’m not alone. I’ve had 3 panic attacks due to marijuana use. I had been smoking for a year or so with no issue and then after a large hit, I had an awful panic attack. I tried two times after because I used to really enjoy smoking, but both times I had more panic attacks. I have been struggling with anxiety ever since. I feel that I disassociate or lose focus a lot. I sometimes even feel like my brain is broken because of my marijuana use, but it is completely irrational. I’m still struggling with this, but videos and research like this has been helping. I really appreciate the content.

the first time i had a panic attack i was convinced that i was going to die lmao kinda funny looking back now

my panic attacks don't make me feel like im dying but rather that i've permanently lost my mind and that time has stopped and i will be in that state of extreme fear forever.

Way too many depressing testimonies, and not enough positivity! I went through this and absolutely beat it! EAT CLEAN, WORK OUT, AND THE MIND WILL FOLLOW! It’ll be much easier to get your thoughts under control, trust me! Hoping this gives anyone one who’s going through this hope!
