I plan to smoke for the first time this weekend and i've heard alot of stories about people having panic attacks how common are they? is there a way to prevent a panic attack? what should i expect for the first time? Also how much should i smoke for the first time if i'm smoking a bowl?
any help is appreciated, thanks!
First of all,
are you over 21 years old?
He can be ten for all i care it doesn't matter how old you are. Panic attacks will happen if you are scared about doing it. It is a harmless drug and you need to relax and fight the anxiety that will sometimes come with it. Just have fun, chill out watch a movie or maybe a stand up comic and relax.
i am 20, thanks smokin
I don't know how common panic attacks are. I'm a very light smoker and have never experienced one after smoking weed. More often than panicking people, grass relaxes folks, but it can depend on the strain you have. If you're really worried about the possibility of panicking, make sure you get a good, hard workout in sometime within the hours before you smoke so you have that cool, calm, after-exercise "chill" going for you.Quote:

That's all a long way of saying don't worry too much if you don't feel the effects real strongly the first time.
Good luck with your first experience. Here's hoping it'll be a good one!
if you can drink you can handle it you wont freak out.
Just make sure you are around people you trust, and a place you feel safe. Panic attacks totally depend on the person and their state of mind, so if your nervous already chances are you'll just get more nervous. Just make sure you are relaxed and in a good mood.
As for how much to smoke, its all up to you, for a first timer I would suggest smoking until you get a nice buzz, and then from there smoke until you are where you want to be.
The idea is just to enjoy your high, relax, kick back watch a movie, etc.
Have fun!
and Happy Tokin'
never gotten a panic attack. just smoke in a chill area with cool people, you should be set. maybe get some water (or green tea) and some munchies, listen to some music or watch a movie or something. have a blast
Another thing is, the more nervous you get about doing something (drugs) the more likely it is you're going to freak out while under the influence of the drug, or cause some other adverse side-effect. Don't be nervous about smoking, ya? Cannabis is an amazing plant and THC is an amazing drug, don't worry about it. Just go into it with the feeling that smoking this is going to make you feel content, relaxed, happy, completely full of joy for life!
Of course you're going to be nervous your first time, but don't completely freak out and give yourself a panic attack BEFORE you smoke. I'd say that panic attacks aren't very frequent unless in people that are already prone to panic attacks. I know a few people that have panic attacks and they tell me that when they smoke the last thing on their mind is a panic attack, the first is how great they feel.
Don't worry, mi mano. You're gonna be fine!
You may not get high your first time, it took me four times but after that...damn I've had some good times.
As someone who tends to get fairly nervous, (and at times a bit panicky), you just need to remember to relax. As long as you're not doing anything stupid and you just chill out; you'll have a good time =)
