Anything you smoke will make you more anxious. I used to smoke tobacco cigarettes and it made things alot worse. Just imagine how worse marijunana can make you feel? There are more chemicals in marijuana than tobacco. Plus when you smoke (anything) you are depriving your body of oxygen, which in turn causes your heart rate to speed up and in turn causes your body to feel anxiety and stress.

I'm 19, and 4 months ago I experienced a panic attack; induced by smoking marijuana and anxious thoughts prior. It was a terrifying situation, I convinced myself that I was dying, and I believe this event alone has sunk a deep hole in my mind subconsciously always thinking that i'm dying.

Every time I smoke now, I bad trip. I'm struggling with this new disorder i've obtained, my main concern is my breathing (sob) . I wish I could take my own advice better, but honestly the best thing to do is not to think about it.

It all started with myself worrying about my throat, and lungs. I went to the emergency a few times thinking something was seriously wrong. I even got an endoscopy not too long ago! ( they put a camera through my nose, down to my throat ) and also took a blood test, I was convinced that I was hyperthyroid. Now that several diagnostics have gone underway, I became fixated on my heart, and since a week or so, I find myself gravely worrying about my breathing and mental health. It's a vicious cycle when you begin worrying about any slight little imperfection.

As to the hemp plant.. I'm probably more educated about this field than the doctor and it's not the hemp plant that caused this. I however, don't smoke any more since I guess i've cognitively reinforced the notion that weed will bring a panic attack. It's all in your head, but with the complexities of the nervous system, that alone is real enough.

Keep informed, good luck buddy.

I used to smoke marijuana in high school and one night had a horrible panic attack from it. Every time after that I tried to smoke pot, I had a panic attack. I've heard of several other people who have the same problem. Lesson learned? Don't do drugs. Nuff said.

Smoking marijuana is one way to exit your state when deeply fatigued and if it makes you feel this way than you shouldnt be smoking it anyway because you obvously feel better with out it~! Dumbasses :evil: :evil: :evil:

I smoke cannabis every week and trip out a lot
will cut down now cos I get anxious and have panic attacks everytime
i think I am pissing myself and hear people even tho none of that happens its rlly wierd I get so paranoid

Anyone whom takes concious action to inflict a certain physical or mental state upon themmself is clearly an addict to their state. :evil: :twisted: :evil: :twisted:

Or clearly they did it for a reason like I did when I was desperately unhappy im not too sure what ur doing on a site like this cos u sound like a stuck up dckhead anyway whats ur problem.

People take drugs for different reasons until u have experience extreme sorrow I think u should keep ur mouth firmly closed, ok!

Hey hey hey hey I have my addictions to but since I know why I have these addictions (because I have nothing to comply with my real feelings) and I feel I need to mentally escape, I know more about what I can do and do eventually hope to do to cure them before they mess me up more....

P.S. The guy whom wrote the message above sucks dick for meds :evil: :twisted: :evil: :twisted: :evil: :twisted:

Read my message again u clearly havent been able to understand it

think before typing

ps. Dont start slagging match and watch peoples feelings

Smoking cannabis works different on a lot of people. I used to smoke it years ago, didn't really care for it that much all it made me do was laugh a lot and gave me the munchies and comming down was like blah and then I would space out, my dr wants me to try it now for my pain but I told him no thanks

I agree with the fact it affects different people in different ways. I was a regular smoker for a few years but it started exaccerbating my anxiety so I stopped

Me 2 it helps for a while then it starts to change u and I find it makes me more anxious

When I was 17 I had my first anxiaty attack and it was due to the fact I was smoking pot it was because pot makes you paranoid I have known loads of people have an anxiaty attack whilst on pot but none have ended up with an anxiaty condition apart from me but thats just because I was under stress anyway but pot is the worst thing you can do if you have anxiaty because it will bring on an attack if I am even in the same room as pot now I have an anxiaty attack I hope that helps just a little

Agreed
