Marijuana + Me = Bad.

This rush hit me nearly instantly. My chest felt funny...

I usually get that when I toke up, its what I call "getting high." The feeling you get as the THC makes its way from your lungs to your brain and throughout your body.

Gotta go finish my bowl now.

2 words man self hyptnotizeation (if it makes sense ) yea just tell ur self ur fine befor u smoke and when u are and just chill dont rush man just say in ur mind fuck all this shit who gives a fuck

You need to accept what marijuana does to you. The more you accept the high the better you will feel. If your 19 I would recommend you growing some sativa and smoke a whole blunt...If you get the same effects you should know that it's natural. What your saying does seem natural seems like you were just having a panic attack and is too paranoid about your high. BTW WakingDream...are you meaning to tell me when I feel like something is going from my stomach all the way up to my brain that feel a lil' cold thats the THC reaching my brain? Lol.

Weed has the ability to reveal you to yourself. Abviously there must be a problem with you and not the weed. Weed is Gods gift to us.

I too began smoking and absolutely loved it. Then I started smoking very regularly and had a lot on my mind at the time. I think I was getting stoned and thinking too much and got into a routine of doing so which in turn led me to have panick attacks. I stopped smoking 4 months + and started again about three weeks ago and it has been a wonderful mental vacation everytime from all my work. I too can symphathize with you about OCD it really is a pain in the ass. Something that has worked for me is when you begin feeling a repetitious thought process or feel like doing something to release that stress like checking your pulse just tell yourself you will do it later and believe it. If you can succesfully do that there are a number of cognitive thereapy steps you can work through to release that overall anxiousness. You may want to speak with a therapist that specializes in anxiety and does not just want to push medication on you. As for now when you truley feel anxious take 10 deep breathes slowly and take it by the hour with each hour being better. And taking one of those Xanax certainly won't harm you if you ever truly feel you need immediate relief. Good Luck

I don't know if this will help.

But the heart racing thing I have been in the same EXACT boat as you in that one.I remember I smoked a joint before school with 2 friends and went to class my freshman year, never in my life to experiance paranoia.Well this day in class was a little different, I could hear my heart beating extra strange right in my head and it would go fast and fast and fast and I would think "Oh Fuck its going to stop! I'm going to have a heart attack for sure!" Then visions of me freaking out having a panic attack and flopping on the ground while my teacher goes ape shit and gets the nurse start started to race through my mind.Well I put my head down and I really don't remember what happened.I just know eventually the high went away and so did the paranoia.Well after that I was a marked man, never to smoke weed like that again, I found I thought my tolerance was so low that if I took one or two hits I was set..Not really it was just me being a pussy because I kept thinking I was going to die if I smoked to much weed, and none of my friends understood.Well after research on the drug to see what was really happening I just realize it was paranoia attacks which were normal.

This is what always cures my attacks when they come around, even htough they don't that much anymore.JUST tell yourself NOONE has ever died, or "OD'ed" off smoking weed.It would just be a very delusive, abberrant thing if you did.Just really dosn't happen.Then think of something that you can look forward too that will make you happy, like hanging out with friends later, going out to eat, watching a movie, going to a show.AND JUST chill.And try not to do your rituals there just there to make you freak out more.

Yeah also it depends on your weight and how much you consume. Take a big fuckin' hit and blow it in your dog's face, if you have a small dog one blow will have him stumbling lol. So you should watch that too. I mean even though no one has died by smokin' weed before when you have that panic attack you keep seeing vision feeling like you probably would be the first one. If you ask me when your feeling this way stop everything. When nothing else works I get a heavy blanket, lay on the couch and watch a movie. If it's dark outside do NOT watch a movie with the lights out, I really freak out when the lights are out for some reason. If you havent reached the peak of your high yet it might get a little strange lying down but just keep lying there. The worse I feel the more I tell my self I'm ok and close my eyes and everything goes good. But basically I would say even if weed cannot be over-dosed on know your limit, because if you pass it even if there wasnt any deaths on weed, more than likely you'll flip out lol. Also another way to avoid all this is just to be with friends when your smokin' and probably walkin around if you arent chillin wit 'em (I noticed when I walk around or stand up my high is less..rapid heart beating rather than bending over to get something or sitting if your fairly new). When you see they are experiencing the same thing I dont know about any one else but it makes me more comfortable than being by my self wondering if I'm gonna die or not lol.

YOU STUPID FUCK ITS JUST WEED ITS NOT GONNA KILL YOU
ILL PUT A REAL DRUG IN YOU AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS

[CocaCola]

Hahaha, I love when people try and breakdown weed... YA CAN'T, cause it's almost the perfect drug. So much so that some are actually offended when you insult their precious "herb".

[Great Spirit]

Dude you remind me of my friend who apparently smoked some real good weed and was "too high" and couldn't handle it so of all people.....he calls his mom!! He smoked with me before but he never smoked really good stuff like I smoke. Than again he said the weed may have been laced with PCP because he said it gave him similar symptoms as we were both reading up on it.
