SO I used to smoke weed and when I first started I smoked a lot, all the time and with no problems. Actually it never bothered me until about a year ago when I started having the same issue. My heart would race-my head would pound- it felt like my chest was caving in- and sometimes it only took one hit... It happened out of the middle of nowhere too- Everything in my life started to fall into place- great new house, new job, new boyfriend, but for some reason I had horrible attacks over practically nothing everytime I even thought about it. I don't know. I passed out a few times over it.I used to try to go to sleep after smoking and convince myself that I wasn't going to stop breathing in my sleep... I can still smoke on occasion- but I found it better not to. I don't like feeling out of control of my body.
ME AND MY HUSBAND USED TO SMOKE WEED DAILY FOR YEARS BEFORE HE STARTED TO GET PANIC ATTACKS ,THEN A FRIEND WHO SMOKES WEED AND CALLS HIM SELF HARDCORE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY AND SAID ONLY THE WEEK MINDED SUFFER WITH PANIC ATTACKS ,A YEAR OR SO LATER HE STARTED TO SUFFER WITH THEM AND WAS CONVINCED THAT HE HAD A HEART DEFECT ,WENT TO THE DOCTORS AND HAD A HEART MONITER PUT ON HIM FOR 48 HOURS BEFORE HE WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG ,IT CAN HAPPEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE WHO GET THEM AND THEY ONLY GET WORSE ,MY ADVICE IS HAVE A DRINK INSTEAD
The pot you are getting from your supplier has some other drugs in it. I suggest finding someone who isn't a complete basturd.
Too bad man, I'm sorry to say it, but maybe your body just can't handle hashish... Its very different from person to person how they react to the THC, a friend of mine used to smoke the weed, and he started falling into sleep right after a joint, so he quitted, and Im sorry to say it, but maybe you should too? Or just have a break at least... Do you smoke alone or with others? Maybe you need to change your friends, I dont know, I just hope you make it alright m8... :)
DUDE!! SAME HERE!! i use to smoke everyday, all day, for like 5 years. then one day i started smoking a Bowl, waited until i was flying high. BAM!! i started freaking out SO BAD! like my heart wouldnt stop pounding, i started getting nervous, sweating, everything. i couldnt wait until i was sober again. My friend had to calm me down, i was close to crying because i was thinking i was gonna have a heart attack. So i ripped off my Bra, and my shirt thinking it was like cutting off my air supply and sh*t. UGH i was sooo relieved i wasnt high anymore..since then i havent smoked ( 1 year ago ).. soo i totally know what you mean.. now i just take painkillers haha.
I have had soooo many panic attacks smoking weed over the years that I continue to be amazed by the fact that I wanted to smoke that shit for such a long time. Typical scenario: I've just had some beer at a party and I am now good and buzzed. I enter a room with people passing a bowl. I sit and take hits with them, chatting, etc. Suddenly I am unable to put anything around me into a real context of any kind. Peoples' lips are moving, words are coming out, but it makes no sense. My heart races. Everyone but me seems dandy.
For every 1 amazing moment I ever had smoking reefer, I had to have 5 miserable, terrified moments. Those panic attacks are more than anyone, ANYONE can handle. I wish I had never touched weed, even after all the cool ideas I had while I got high...
Stop smoking or one day you are gonna wake up death, it happen to my cousin :(
Yes it is normal -it is a well documented side effect. Unless you like anxiety for some weird reason - give it up. Save a bunch of $ too.
