Before you go dumping this. Try smoking just one hit and see how you feel. When someone describes how you reacted to the first smoke it is generally that you smoked more than your used to. Being a newbie that just might be the case. What I'm saying is your heartbeat increases and you start to feel paranoid. Just decrease the amount you smoke and see if you are mellower. I envy you quite honestly. The only time I get a rush like that is when I get better than mids and haven't smoked in a while. Mids in AZ are probably cheaper and better than NJ. The increase in heart rate generally is not a big deal but it sure feels like it.
