Important Question!

[Zeberdee]

Hi guys just wanted to ask a question about something that's been happening lately... Well i've been smoking weed for about 3 years now and everything was allright till the last 3-4 months or so...
Whenever im smoking weed i feel like my heart is racing (tachycardia),and sometimes it feels like my heart is jumping (!!!) I feel all weak and shit, my hands are getting numb and most of the times i feel like i am about to faint and i feel all f***ed up... I made some tests about my health status (heart, blood pressure, etc.) and everything was fine but a really small heart problem which according to my doctor is nothing important and can't be considered as a heart decease.Some people say that because i am stressed before i smoke weed that everything happens because of that. Some say that its something mental and it hasn't got anything to do with my physical health (not meaning that i am crazy)... It kept happening to me some months ago and than for some time it stopped and then it started happening again.Does being stressed affect the high? Can it be that because it happened once that i am doing it to myself all the rest of the times because i am like "scared" that it might be happening again?Any idea what it is? What can i do to stop that?? I have stopped smoking weed momentarily...But i don't like the idea of quitting weed entirely... I have planned a christmas trip to the Netherlands for f***'s sake!!! Please help me and i know all that sounds weird and stupid but only weed smokers can help me with that... thanks

same thing happened to me pal....i dunno what to tell ya, but it made me stop smoking all together. which in my opinion is not an altogether bad thing, it made me realize my true passion.....drinking

[Zeberdee]

i don't know what it is but i am worried and i get even more worried when i think about having to quit pot smoking

[higher4hockey]

happens to a lot of people from my understanding.... most of the smokers i knew when i smoked dont smoke anymore.

sometimes you just grow out of it.

Same thing sometimes happens to me, but it's all mental. If I feel weak and not outgoing I can usually snap myself out of it. Mind games .

Its a disgusting, revolting and nasty blasphemy... how could anyone write such heresy in a site dedicated to cannabis?

Anyway... for the original poster... which strain (indica/sativa) do you smoke? Sometimes, when i smoke some sativa, i feel my heart racing, like it it were explode, or like if there was some "energy" filling it... its weird, dont know if its what you feel. Anyway, at least for me, its a thing that comes and goes naturally. But, I think if you concentrate in this feeling, or be afraid of it, then it can become worse. Lots of people have panic attacks from weed, because they think bad things about the effects they are feeling, they think are dying (mainly newbies), and so the fear makes the things worse.
Smoking sativas while stressed dont seem a good idea, as sativas will only make you more energetic.
I would suggest to you smoke some indica and see if it happens. Indicas are couclock relaxing, so if you are stressed it would be a very good help to you.
Anyway, i hope you solve this problem, keep smoking, and NEVER EVER EVER make the same mistake of that guy who left the wisdom of the weed for the folly of the drunkness... :thumbsup::rastasmoke:
