ive smoked for years. i started when i was 14 and now, 2 weeks from my 18th birthday weed is all different

it happened a few days ago when i had a wake n bake with a bunch of kief in a joint and got high out of my mind, like my hands were shaking and i felt really nervous. i was in my house, comfortable & safe, but it seemed like weed hit me more like shrooms than thc. like, my stomach was unsettled, things looked really clear and different, whereas normally when i smoked i just get comfortable n relaxed. like, i really had a tolerance to weed so i dont know why it was so strong all of a sudden.

anyways, since then, whenever i smoke i feel my heart beating uncomfortably, my hands get all clammy and i get hot flashes.

and now, this happens to me sometimes even when im not high. the worst scenario was two nights ago i was trying to sleep, and normally im an insomniac, but it hadnt been affecting me lately. anyways, i was in my bed, thinkin about shit (life and death, somewhat depressing thoughts) and all of a sudden my heart is just racing, im sweating all over and it had been over 2 hours since id smoked a joint. i must have been havin the first panic attack of my life, cause my thoughts were sporadic and i thought i was losing my marbles, my heart was beating like a drum at 200bmp, and normally im pretty zen. like, i can just concentrate and slow my breathing, heart rate etc in a somewhat meditative state, but i had completely no control of my body. it had me thinkin i was schizo or some shit.

anyways, since that night i quit smoking. so, that means, i havent smoked all yesterday nor today. today im feeling pretty normal, but i still feel anxiety sometimes, loss of appetite. but yesterday, i was just sitting watching tv and it feels like im shrooming(or coming up on something) again. like, nervous, fidgety, and i dont know what to do with myself. i had trouble sleeping last night, not panic but more insomnia, just not tired, which eventually had me feel anxious because i was getting impatient.


anyways i want to know. will i go back to normal? should i get some help?

i want to be able to just smoke and get high, not be high and trippin while im sober. i wanna be able to toke and feel that good ole feelin, but now even if i go back to weed im gonna get wrecked because my tolerance is down
also: should i stop completely or slow down to say once a day/once a week, whereas normally i used to smoke 4-5 times a day, everyday.

and i mean everyday i smoked for over 3 years, not a day went by without me high. could this be why im feelin all crazy all of a sudden? like a thc toxicity in my body?


anyways if ya guys got any answers it is much appreciated. im lookin for help from other stoners, ive looked on the web and a lot of people get nervous when theyre high for the first few times they smoke. that isnt the case with me, i was no lightweight when this occured. also, has anyone had their weed buzz change from social & comfortable to scary like that? its not just a change of strain either. this was some relaxin indica shit n i was still tripping out.


sorry if im ranting, just trying to explain everything in detail so as to avoid confusion.

Its the strain of weed your burning,Ive been smoking since 1977 and I have incountered strains that made me feel wierd from time to time.

if you have a chance to get a physical i'd say you should - notice the blood pressure - because pot will raise you blood pressure
i find that my state of mind is determinative with my buz
if i am troubled, then pot will help me realize that, right away
your state of mind can definitely influence your heart rate and your blood pressure
so the only other adivce i can give is if you have any problems, then carefully construct a few set of goals that will eliminate 'em
then relax

I have an extreme anxiety disorder, and let me tell you, anytime I ever smoke any weed that leans on the sativa side I have the tendency to get the exact same feelings you are having, but over time I've learned to control it.

Now I can't tell what you smoked, but it sounds like you got hold of some killer dank.

Or you could just be worrying yourself into a panic attack, you never know

The common denominator that's always there in these type of stories is "i started smoking young...everyday"

You could try taking 500mg or so of vitamin c 30minutes to an hour before smoking. But besides that, i've never read of anything helping.

Assuming its not the strain.

i dont think its the strain, cause i switched it up from m39 (mainly indica) to acapulco gold(pure sativa) and i still get it.

what worries me most is the feeling i get when im not high, like i didnt smoke all day yesterday and still felt odd, nervous n anxious at times.
could it be just mood swings??

WILL IT ALL GO AWAY?!


** : idk i could just be stressed all over anyways.. my gfs mom was diagnosed with cancer, i was gettin sick, idk.
but im nervous to smoke again.

i think maybe marijuana has been subduing my anxiety.. normally i can be kind of all over the place but when i smoke i would just vedge...
and how did u learn to control the anxious feelings? u just talk urself out of it or what?

Alright, I have dealt with anxiety while smoking many times, and yes it does seem to be caused from sativa dominant strains.

However what you are experiencing is also happening while you are not smoking.

I believe, from what I have read, that you are having anxiety attacks while high, and also while straight, simple as that.

You seem to have a lot on your plate right now, and it would be best to stay off the dope for a bit to cope with what you are going through, as marijuana sometimes brings out unconscious emotions that make you have anxiety attacks.

I have only had one anxiety attack while not high, but many while high, and I'll tell you, it is the scariest feeling ever, you think you are going to die. The important thing to remember if you are having them while high, is that is is just marijuana, and NO ONE has ever died from marijuana. Also, as far as that goes, you can't die from a panic attack either, my doctor told me that.

So, I hope I've helped you some. Peace and good luck!

Lmao why must people admit to being under 18? Being here for 4 minutes and reading threads make it perfectly clear.
