In my opinion they make you stronger in that you are seemingly facing a nightmare scenario at times and getting through it allows you to recognize these feelings in the future and become stronger.

I have asthma, terrible environmental allergies, a deadly nut allergy, etc so I've had my fair share of panic attacks. You just have to open up a little dialog with yourself and rationalize the feelings as they come. The increase in heartbeat is obviously not in your head but you have to remind yourself that you aren't having a heart attack. If you legitimize any of your fears it will only reinforce them in the future. It's a mind game really and although scary it's something I think every pot smoker has experienced at least once.

Personally, I smoke to get rid of anxiety...it's been my nature lately to be very anxious and smoking seems to make everything easier. I'm able to titrate it to the point where anxiety is gone and ambition is up. Although, sometimes when I get absolutely ripped I simply eat everything within sight and rub one off in an epic manner.
So unless we intend to do this job in Reno, we're in Barney.. Barney Rubble? .. trouble! Haha I love Don Cheadle in those movies! Actually the casting and characters in the Ocean's movies is pretty spot on in my opinion. I hope that's what your name is about or else this is awkward..

Also I have athsma and environmental allergies too dude! You aren't alone. Except this weekend in rained insane in my area, basement floods and the like. It seemed to wash away a lot of the spring dust and mould and pollen.


Kyle dude.. how are you holding out? Let's have an update here homie don't leave us worried!
