Panic attacks.

In case anyone is wondering.
The Nicoteen rush really freaked me out but eventaly the calming effect of the cannabis just relaxed me, and I had a fucking great time.

Im not so sure bout it getting rid of panic attacks. For me I get em when Im stoned, also could be the meds Im on they say that it might cause psychosis which causes me to freak out and have panic attacks. As for ppl who say weed calms them down, I really dun no what their talkin bout, only on the come down I get calm, the peak is speedy and really trippy.

I had increased panic attacks due to marijuana. Marijuana increased my pulse rate, which led to heightened panic. However, after being put on an SSRI, I am able to smoke without the fear of having a panic attack, and the overall buzz is much better.

Going on an SSRI is kind of a drastic step to take, in order to smoke comfortably.

I was on Zoloft for a year, for a disorder that I have since been succcessfully treated for. Additionally, the manufacturer warns that you shouldn't take it for more than a .year (although many people do stay on SSRI's for much longer)

I've found that it's the type of weed that causes anxiety, along with other factors. Sativa is generally more "up", and I have a problem with it at night, unless I've had something to offset it (drink, small dose of xanax, etc.). I have no problem getting stoned in the morning or afternoon on weed that is mostly Sativa, though. I have not had hash, which is usually made from Indica, in a long time, but I don't remember ever experiencing any problems from that. Ditto for strains that are mostly Indica - which are difficult to find, and hash is impossible to get anymore where I live.

Another thing that helps is a vaporizer - the effect is much more controllable. Then when you want to get REALLY blasted, smoke a bowl or joint without, or in addition to, vaporizing - I guarantee that it's blow your mind (if you can take it, lol).

You misunderstood that the reason for going on the SSRI was for panic attacks, not for the sole purpose of being able to smoke pot.
