I don't mean to sound like a dickhead, but dosen't everyone know you can get paranoid when you are high?NO you don't always. Thats rediculous. :confused:

There has been a few of these posts as of late and it amazes me, because most of the people seem to be long term smokers.

I will state what everyone else has already said, but don't smoke when you are stressed! Pot isn't going to fix things,No its not but if you are using it as a medicine for panic attacks and anxiety then how does this statement hold true. You are comparing booze to weed. :shock:
Come on dude. Yes i agree that it can be abused BUT I do not agree that it necessarily makes the situation worse. I don't know where I would be wihtout my weed. Seriously. :confused::peace: it's like alcohol it either makes a bad situation worse or a good situation better, it enhances your moods.TOTALLY TOTALLY disagree. AGAIN it depends on what type of strain you are smokling.
You are being ignorant in that you as classifying all weed as the same. :-? All weed does not have the same effects ...and varies even amongst individuals. What may be great for one may be horrble for another.

Get in the right frame of mind without drugs first, then smoke. As good as pot is, it's not some wonder drug that cures everything.
Well sure. I'll just cram in 8 years worth of therapy, chill out and THEN I can toke???:shock::confused: Give me a friggin break dude. :peace:

Anyway, I hope you find your happy place soon and start enjoying happy highs once again :) GL

this is with different strains though, it doesnt seem like i panic with couthlock weed but more with like sativa strains i think.

Sativa strains are notorious to give people that nervousness or anxiety. KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!

Now that is generalizing. Jack herer is a sativa dominant strain and is for anxiety disorder as well as many others. There are others that are sativa that are great for panic disorders....believe it or not.

THIS is why you need to do some research....particularily if you are one to suffer from these disorders,

Just to jump in and tell a short story, I panicked once a long time ago. I was pretty blazed and I set my head down on my desk and closed my eyes and soon I was freaking out because all I saw was black, and had forgotten I had closed my eyes and thought I was in a black abyss, but I could still hear my TV. Then all of the sudden, I opened my eyes and everything was okay. Ha ha!

well i can say i've learned alot since i posted the thread. instead of just trying to distract myself when im high from panicking, i just dont smoke. honestly, its better not taking the risk. im getting some killer CA purple urkel indica medicinal stuff though so that will be a different try. it seems like most strains i get on maui are sativas, but i could be wrong.

yes and if you are anxiety prone then it all makes sense. You will be better off with more indica dominant strains but there still are some great sativa blends that are extremely effective.

I have ptsd and suffer from many anxiety related disorders and the strain makes a HUGE difference.

Sounds like you are on the right track now in researching and getting the best suited to your needs. :peace:

Whenever I get paranoid or panicky I KNOW it has a direct corelation to the amount of weed smoked. Have you guys ruled out the possibilty that your smoking too much? That the "overdose" is falsely amplifying situations that are not as bad as you think.

Maybe next time you could try something..............Take one, no more than two hits and see if the experience is different for you. For me, this is the ticket to enjoying the high versus freaking out about essentially nothing.

This is restraint and self control. The same process and theory with alcohol. You have to figure out limits. My wife can smoke me under the table anyday of the week. If I kept up with her I would be a paraniod heart attack waitin to happen. Maybe the anxioty is related to the amount consumed................................?

LMAO! DUDE...you so wouldn't be saying all this is you saw me with no weed. :hump:

I have been with my hubby for almost 19 years now and only toked with him three times. Each and every time he was more paranoid than ever. It all depends on the person and the weed.
Not everyone can metabolize weed the same way. I cannot handle booze. It has a horrible affect on me for not just the time being but for days sometimes weeks after.

They can indeed be some generalizations made about weed and anxiety but like everything else....its not all that black and white.
We are all so very different unique individuals.:D

In the past two years, I have only panicked twice that I remember. Once was when I smoked some White Widow. Lasted about 5 minutes and was not pleasant at all! The other time is when I smoked too much (I know, sounds silly). I usually smoke small hits and let it sink in. If I feel I need more, then another small hit. The panic came when I tried out a new bong. Took too big on an initial hit and WHAM, I was in panic land. Again, it only lasted a few minutes.

The main thing is to think it through. It is not going to go on for very long, and you are in control anyway. For me, once I establish these two truths everything starts to calm quickly. Just my take.
