shakes

i think its the strain that i got, i have been smoking the past year, and other then when i first started havent had any trouble intell the last couple of weeks here when i got a new batch of herb. the thing is, the two "dealers" i know dont know what strain or anything the weed is. they just know if its good or not. im gonna grow this summer, but for right now i guiess it will just be a hit and miss as to if the weed will be the indica stuff that i think agrees with me, or the sativa stuff that doesent. this sucks, and i'll prabaly waste allot of money, but what other options do i have?

on a side note, is schwag usualy indica or sativa based? i have one dealer that sells that, and another that is always getting differnt higher grade stuff. thanks guys. this is the most helpfull site, im realy glad i found this place. :)

I know what you're talking about - I've had similar experiences. I'd have to say it really does have a lot to do with my mindset. If I'm feeling anxious/depressed/nervous about _anything_, then I'm more likely to have a bad experience with weed. Although, I think that strains with less THC/ more CBD/N ratio, or whatever, tend not to be as panic-inducing.

For example, Hawaiian Snow, Cheese, and Jack Herer are strains that I've had trouble with in Amsterdam at Greenhouse Seeds. They have really high THC content, up to 24%, and lower CBD/N. I remember that smoking them was quite unpleasant. My thoughts were racing, my heart was pounding, and I had a really weird panic feeling.
I found that this problem of feeling panicky went away as soon as I change what sort of weed I'm smoking. and if you're having trouble with anxiety and panic you might want to specifically look for strains with lower THC levels.
The cannabis capsules method has proved so far to have no anxiety issues, quite the opposite they're very calming.

Hey, I was a heavy smoker for 9 years and 3 years ago i started getting full on panic attacks every time i smoked. I eventually gave up trying. smoking is my most favorite thing in the world to do and i miss it so much. it was the hardest thing ive ever had to do. i even dream that im sitting down smoking a few bowels most nights :) growing at the min at the hopes to "train" myself to smoke again now that i have got to grips with the attacks and am no longer afraid of them (although they are still very unpleasing).

has anyone on here or does anyone know someone who has completely overcome this problem or even learn to live and smoke with it?

cheers

It happens to me when I smoke and do not do something. If I study, work, do chores, just about anything that needs to get done my mind goes into kick back mode and I work and get things done real nice.
Try smoking then taking care of a choir that has been bothering you for a while. If it does not work at least you took care of some choirs.

Sounds to me like you could have the answer there? You don't know anything about what you're smoking.....and this is the hazzard of buying from dealers. You just don't know what shit has been out in there during growing or curing or anything. There's so many horror stories about idiots that put ground up glass in the weed to make it heavier for selling, so think about it, what chemicals are possibly being sprayed etc during growing? Definitely best to either grow your own, or get your weed from someone you know that's growing it, but only way to make sure you know what's in it is to grow it yourself.

Also stay off anything else and see if that helps any. My brother used to get terrible aggressive when he drank and smoke, but was so chilled and such a fun guy just smoking. Even have to consider any medications you're on as they could alter the effects of your smoke, like how you're not supposed to drink alcohol when on antibiotics etc. And I agrees with the mindset thing too - no different from having several beers when you're not in the best of moods - it can be a made move!!

Hope you can get growing your own soon and find it stops your shakes and panic. If not, try meditating or something before you smoke to relax your mind and body? Just a thought :thumbsup:
