Wow, this site is amazing. I really think this site helped me make up my mind. I have been an avid marijuana smoker for 15 yrs. About 3 weeks ago I smoked a bowl with my brother and his friend. within 15 minutes of that I had a major panic attack. I decided to drive home, big mistake. I had to pull over half way home on the side of the highway to calm myself down as I was feeling as if I was going to faint. I had all the symptoms. Tingling body, light headed, heart racing, sweating, I pretty much thought I was dying. And the whole oredal lasted for like 3hrs! This wasn't the first time i have had one. i used to get them years ago and It had just been so long it really scared me. I was an everyday toker and I havn't smoked since that night. I have realized that since I stopped I have more energy and I'm not as moody. Both good things right? But I still have this yearning to smoke again as it was a passtime that I enjoyed for so long. I'm 27 years old now and I have a beautiful wife and a daughter and I think that everyone sooner or later has to make a choice about their priorities. I think for now not smoking it definately isn't a bad thing, but if I decide to again I'll probably grow myself a nice little organic cannabis indica strain with not such a speedy effect. I really enjoyed just the mellowing out and relaxing aspect of marijuana. I never liked the racy feeling of most sativa strains! Thanks to everyone who posted here and for giving me the answers I was seeking, and hopefully my post can help someone too! Cheers!

I started getting paranoid anxiety from weed after a few uses. Knowing this l still smoked it but tryed not to inhale to much becuase l wanted to fit in with my crowd. l learned a phase called "euphoric recall " that expaned why i was still attracted to it even though every time l smoked l couldent wait to be normal again. lt means you remeber the good not the bad. for 15 minutes i felt good 3 hours anxious/paranoid. l seached the web for the reason ,wanting to feel good as others claimed and itsaid its in our brain chemistry. sorry no fix. having smoked 50 times hoping for a different effect "im relaxed l wont get paranoid"or "lm safe at home". give it up, my real friends understand it.

i defenatly think there is a link between your anxiety and your marijuana use...everybody will have different reactions do different drugs...if you experienced bad anxiety or even an attack after you starting using, the cause is more than likely the marijuana...its obvious to me...ive been having horrible anxiety and panic for a while now, but i kept smoking, long story, but now i have quit and i dont know if im getting better or not...but i know that marijuana does not help my situation, it makes me paraniod, it makes my anxiety ten times worse, and im more likely to have a panic attack if out of my 'comfert zone'...expecially if im somewhere around a whole lot of people...i think the best thing to do would be to quit and never look back...cause thats what im doing, cause im sick of anxiety, and i honestly think that i have gottin better, and over time it has to be gone...i mean, anxiety is normal to have, but panic isnt...and i just know it has to leave me in time...cause i never experienced anxiety or panic attacks untill after i started using marijuana...so im pretty convinced...good luck, and i hope you can find your strengh to hold on, you are not alone...
