Ive been smokin for 4 or 5 years but lately Ive been having some bad effects from smokin weed. Today I smoked a blunt with my friend and I had some bad effects from it. I started to panic and get paranoid, and my heart was racing and pounding hard. I also thought I was gonna die a couple times and I started to get really dehydrated and couldnt breathe, the effects lasted for about a hour. The stuff I smoked today was pretty strong but I still dont think it should have those bad effects. I have anxiety a lot but I dont know if that has anything to do with it.

I was wonderin if anyone else has ever had bad effects like those from smokin weed. Also I was wonderin if theres any way to stop those bad effects from ruining my high. I love smokin weed but lately the bad effects outweigh the good effects by a lot.

Sounds like you finally got a hold of some good bud.

Or maybe you were stressing before smoking....making it worse (never happened to me...the stonier the better).

Yeah bro, I got the same problems. I get anxiety like a bitch. People like us need to stay away from sativas. In some instances they're OK but sometimes they can make your heart and brain start racing. Indicas have the opposite effect usually. I just started growing some blueberry and WW, I'm hoping they will do the trick. I also want to order romulan, I read somewhere that it is the best strain for anxiety.

You should try growing your own and only grow knock-out indicas and I would bet u would be cured. I'll let u know how it works for me.

Sounds like a panic attack, and you'll likely have them when your not high as well.

I'm an idiot, but I've long forgotten why panic attacks were bad? Isn't it interesting that some people can walk around this life and find nothing to panic about--are they fucking veggies? Like those who smile all the gd time, annoying. In short, get over it, nobody ever died from a panic attack--i love saying that, next time you have one you'll be like, maybe i'll be the first? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Further, learn to recognize what is really happening--you're in a panic (your not fucking dying), it's a left over trait from the days when you're great grand monkey pappy had to decide to fight or flee; heart speeds up, limbs can become numb (u don't want to feel it when the saber tooth rips your little monkey limbs off), bowls loosen (nobody wants to eat a monkey that just shit himself), can be dizzy (u have a boat load of energy and your just standing there...), basically your brain is screaming there is a serious threat but your senses can't find it! No shit you feel goofy. Ha ha ha, but damn it man, you're not going to die from a panic attack.

Actually go see a therapist, maybe you ARE crazy...and their medication is legal, ha ha ha ha ha ha

I have pretty bad anxiety and I had a couple panic attacks (while sober) a couple years ago but they all happened in 1 month and I havent had one since. I am not worried about dying most the time becuz Ive been to the doctor and got checked out and he said I was very healthy physically. Ill try to get some indicas and Romulan like he said.

i'd go with what iblazethatkush said.
stay away from sativas and see how indicas treats ya

indica > sativa !

Can u order Romulan strain seeds off the internet? Do u know any other good strains that reduce anxiety? What is the main difference between Indicas and Sativas. Ive heard it a lot of times but i forgot whats the differences are.

Yeah you can order Romulan off the internet. Just google it or ask the fine ppl here where they ordered there's. So this is how it goes Sativa=Mental high, can cause your mind to start racing. Indica= Body high, helps to lessen anxiety b/c it's more of a 'stupid' high, where u quit thinking so much. Also any of the Kushes or White Widow are good for anxiety.

Aside from the immediate effects from smoking, I personally have felt the sting of Chronic Memory Loss. I've been smoking regularly for years-the past five years pretty much daily. Aside from constantly getting up to get something and forgetting what I'm looking for before I get out of the room, lately I've been having trouble "seeing" objects. For example, if there is a cluttered table, and I'm looking for my keys, and they are sitting right there behind the mail, I just somehow skip over them the first few times.
It doesn't happen too often, but more often as of late.
Anybody else have memory issues or strange things going on with your brain?
Just wondering.

--you're joking right?

and you think these "symptoms" are directly related to marijuana....why?

because nobody you know who doesn't smoke does the same thing, or as regularly as you?

just for fun, consider that stress causes the same "symptoms" in your post...and so does being human, and thats a fucking tough one to avoid eh?
