Hello community of cannabis forums. I really need some help, and don't know where to turn. This is going to be a rough story, so please, bear with me.


Whenever I smoke, I get kind of like a panic attack, but its more than that. I don't go the usual high, I get a strange body high which is not fun, at all. I can't stand it and it freaks me out. Now let me explain, this is not my first time, I've been smoking marijuana for over a year now, just about every day. Never had this happen, ever. Its a very, very strange body high without any head high. Its like tingly but its so strange and makes me feel so weird I can't enjoy it. I also get kind of nauseas.

This all started when I donated blood. I didn't meet the weight requirement but they let me donate anyways. While donating blood I almost passed out and puked but I didn't. Later that night, about 5-7 hours later, I faced half a blunt and I got that feeling. It was scary, but I kept my head straight and suffered through it. I didn't smoke for a few days, and the next time I smoked I had a straight out panic attack, with the same symptoms as the last time I smoked. So, I took a longer break and then smoked some mids hoping it wouldn't happen. I took maybe 2-3 hits and it happened and I just didn't understand. So, about 4-5 days passed and my friends had some amazing bud, so I took 1 hit, got insanely nauseas and was just sick to my stomach.

After all that, I haven't smoked in a few days and don't plan on it. But heres the weird thing. The other night my friends smoked while I was in the room, and I didn't take 1 hit or anything. But I got that feeling again. It was very slight, but it was definitely there.

Now, I'm suffering from very bad acid reflux also known as GERD. I don't know if that is the problem with it. I don't know if its the smoke or anything, I have no clue what is going on. But this all started after I donated blood.

I'm begging for some help. I don't know what to do and I'm very upset. I want to smoke, its something that I really do enjoy. Not being able to smoke is going to literally make me miserable. If anyone can shed some light onto this, please, help me.

If you need any other information I will do my best to answer you.

Thank you.

It seems that when my tolerance is lower I feel more prone to anxiety... You might just have anxiety issues, I have them myself but I have made it past the feeling.. My anxiety use to raise when I smoked too much [dosen't happen anymore].. Now usually if I only take a couple hits it will just feel like my anxiety is raised.. It's a weird balance of things, at least for me.. Everyone is different. I hope you figure it out man!

I can't donate whole blood either. It freaks my heart out. I can, however donate platelets and do so every two weeks with no issues. (Thank you for donating!) Smoking ANYTING after donating blood can cause this to happen-you have less plasma, red cells to carry oxygen, etc.
Sounds like you needed to cram the fluids big time but didn't.

Now that this happened, there's probably something in the back of your mind "warning" you in a way-that may be why you felt like this even with your friends lighting up. The "body memory" of what happened to you after donating blood and then smoking-and getting bad symptoms may very well be causing you anxiety, and possibly panic.

If you are smoking sativa and you are prone to panic attacks or anxiety-don't smoke it!

I have Panic Disorder and the sativas throw me straight into panic-BAD panic...

Indicas are a much better choice. Good luck!
