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:
