Marijuana has done terrible things to me

I started smoking marijuana back in the later days of high school, and I was doing it about once a week, on friday night with a few friends. As time went on, I smoked it more, and it went up to having it usually 3 or 4 times a day. I got to the point, though, where it was more something I needed to just go on with things, more then something for fun. It got to the point where I started to have panic attacks when smoking marijuana. It made me feel like my chest was closing up, and my hands shake, and it would make me really start to freak out. I went to the hospital plenty of times because of those panic attacks, because they seriously make me feel like I'm going to die. I had gone off smoking it for almost a year, but then I tried just 1 puff from a friend the other day, and just that gave me the same feelings. I've even called the paramedics to pick me up during some of the panic attacks I've had on marijuana, because it felt like I was having a heart attack, I really thought I was going to die. A good friend of mine started getting these same results from marijuana when he was only a year or two out of highschool. These problems didn't just happen to me, they can happen to anyone.

iv reaserched this in the past because i knew a few people this happened to but i found this is due to mental issues that arise from people thinking to much in a certain way all the people who i knew that were like this all didnt have the problems when they first started smoking it just arose over some time they also all all shared verry similar traits 2 of them really loved smoking it but they just couldnt figure out what was causing all this anxiety so i basicly hung out with them almost every day for a month and we blazed it up together every day and i just basically talked to them about their minds and asked them questions and then told them things they needed to do and exactly why their bodys were reacting in this way so that they understood how simple it would be to over come. it only took a week of them smoking with me for all of their issues to go away you can rid yourself of this you just have to work with your mind set and change the way your brain works to the point were anxiety from weed just seems silly to you. its a little complicated to type but just smoke moar and think about it and you will teach yourself i promise you that if you really want to smok.e weed in peace and put some effort into it you can reach it quite easily :] hope this helped :p

wow thats full on! you must have been smoking some full on a grade punani! i always found that when i smoked extreamly heavy, or something that wasnt all naturall, i would have similar effects but not to that extream! maybe next time (if there is one) you try some completely natural stuff amd only have it in moderation, i have also had a puff once before, and cause its was super hydro, that one puff sent me loopy!

well I'm sort of wondering how this could happen, maybe it's like drinking 15 to 20 cokes a day some thing has got to give it may also depend what part of the country your in. That has alot to do where it came from and who grew it they may be using pesticides or chemicals to make it grow faster who knows but I have never heard of this!
