I've had panic attacks since 2 years ago and I've seen a psychologist for it. Well starting this year in September I've started smoking weed and it's been great, I always couldn't wait until the weekend to smoke until around a month ago.

I just started smoking cigarettes but I found out I was starting to get addicted to them so I quit but then I started getting panic attacks for the first time in months which I thought was caused by the cigarettes. Then ever since I quit smoking cigarettes I've had a panic attack before smoking weed. I'd want to avoid smoking at all costs and this has never happened before.

Well, 3 days ago I smoked in school from a dealer I didn't know. He didn't tell me what kind of bud it was but it must have been good because I was bugging out. I wasn't showing that I was bugging out but I was. My heart was pounding really fast which always happens but something that never happens is I was having a panic attack while being high and it scared me. Then later that day I was hanging out with my friends and I was dumb as hell. I was slow on everything and it took me about a minute to process what everyone was saying. I had a friend who smokes weed a lot and is practically addicted to it who acts the same way I was. Just, stupid as hell and I didn't want to end up like him. I was feeling this after the high wore off for 3 more days. And I was still feeling it up until 2 hours ago but now I'm fine thankfully.

But that still doesn't change the condition of my panic attacks. After smoking that weed I'm even more paranoid about smoking more. I don't know if me being paranoid is causing the panic attacks or the weed is causing the panic attacks. My paranoia causes panic attacks a lot when weed is not involved so it may just be paranoia. But my psychologist said that weed and cigarettes cause panic attacks so it's a scary thought for me to have to give up smoking weed even though I love doing it so much.

Another thing is I have a VERY low tolerance for weed. One time I smoked very crappy bud but after one hit I had to stop because I was bugging out. And since 4/20 is next week I'm picking up $25 worth of weed. I don't know what's going to happen to me, is $25 worth of weed going to be dangerous for me? And will I have to quit? I don't want to quit right before 4/20 because I've been waiting for this day for a month now, ever since my friends told me about 4/20 and I would have to quit the week right before over my stupid panic attacks.

So, in the end what I want to know is what caused my panic attack? Was it the weed since I don't know what kind it was? Was it my paranoia? Was it because I suffer from panic attacks even before weed? Or was it caused by smoking cigarettes? And also will I have to quit smoking? Please note though that this is the first time I've had a panic attack from smoking weed in my life.

Oh and before I forget. My heart rate always goes through the roof when I smoke weed. Every single time. Is this unhealthy and should I be worried?

Thank you in advance for helping out a weed noob.
