I'd say it's more likely to be from Sativas. THC is the chemical responsible for producing panic attacks in larger doses, and Indicas have proportionately less THC than CBD, so that makes little sense. Indicas can create paranoia if the user does not like feeling the high in their body, but the most likely case is it's a Sativa, especially since his heart rate increased.

Hello, I to used to get panic attacks bad and YES they are sheer terror. I found that caffine seemed to be my key trigger. As soon as I laid off most caffine the attcks went away. Just find your trigger and then you can control it, hope this helps!
Very good point. I haven't seen any documented research into it but stimulants + weed seem to make your high extremely paranoid, regardless of whether it's highly dangerous stimulants like methamphetamine or something like caffeine, stimulants aren't good in the long run and definitely have a negative effect on your high. I too gave up caffeine, and cigarettes, and I no longer experience paranoia, whatsoever.
