ok, so i first tried weed about a year ago. i got it from a friend. he said it was realy good weed. he said he was a longtime smoker, and 1 bowl of this stuff got him stoned out of his mind. so i got a baggie of it. i went home and tried it, at first nothing, then about 4 hits into it, bam it hit me. my heart starting beating realy realy fast. i started freaking out, i felt realy weird and i dident like it. i then started getting panic attacks. i spent the next 3 hours walking around my room, i was walking because everytime i would sit down on my floor, or lay in my bed, i would start to freak out. it helped it a little bit if i was walking around, so thats what i did for 3 hours. then i wore off, and i swore i would never try it agean. well about a week laiter, i thot i would give it another try, well, the same exact thing happend, i ended up walking around my room, telling myself i was going to be alright, waiting for it to ware off. i then got some weed from someone else, and tried that about 2 weeks laiter. i took the same number of tokes i had taken with the other stuff, around 2-4 tokes. and i dident feel anything, my heart wasent beating realy fast, and i dident get high. at least i dont think so. everything was the same, so i think i dident get high. anyway about a week laiter i went back and tried the other stuff, the realy potent stuff agean, hoping i would finaly like it. the same thing happend, exept i just walked around my house, and went outside a little bit, then went back inside and tried to wach t.v, but i couldent bacuse i was freaking out to much. well, that wore off in about 3 hours, and i was fine. i then got rid of my pipe, and all the weed, and havent smoked for atleast 7 months now. i just read a thread were someone said paranoa is not uncomen when someone unexsperianced used a more potent strand of weed. and that sometimes its too much. they also said thay just smoke weed to relax, and take the edge off. not to get stoned out of there mind. thats what i want to do. how can i do that? what do i have to do? do you have any advice for me? thanks for any help. i might give it one last try, before i give up on weed for the rest of my life ive never had a good exsperiance with weed, but i sure hope i do this next time. thanks for your help.

make sure that it isnt laced with anything, that could be something causing the paranoia, also try smoking less, if that doesnt help just smoke more consistently and ull build a tolerance
just learn to enjoy it
ur fine
its safe

So you've tried smoking three times?

The first few times I smoked I became very paranoid. But I gave it a chance, I would say the first 5 times smoking were a learning expirience.

what is with you man. every weed problem you say something about it being laced. weed is very very rarely laced. you just need to relax when you blaze. first of all, do you live with your parents or is it safe to smoke in your house?. if so just pack a bowl on the couch with a close friend and watch a good movie or seomthing.

if you live with your parents and its not chill to blaze in ur house, spend the night at a mates house then do it with them and relax in their house. your freaking out because you dont know what to expect. just take a few deep breaths first and put on your most relaxing music. hope all works out, weeds great if you can be at peace with it.

yeah, also i started shaking uncontrolably. my legs were the worst, and sometimes my arms would get shaky too. that happend all of the times i smoked the weed. that plus my heart going realy fast, makes me panic, wich makes the intire thing bad for me. what can i do, or try doing to fix all this?

dude read what i said. the ideal scenario is you and a close friend, preferably one that smokes often, blaze a bowl or two, then sit on the couch and watch a good movie or listen to music. do relaxing things and try not to sketch out so badly.

It's alllll in your heeeeead.

Calm down. Weed is much less scary than alcohol. Well, unless your buddy's a cop.

First of all, your heart wasn't beating really fast. It felt like that, I've felt it before. But if you actually put two fingers on your jugular, you'll be able to feel what is really your heartbeat. When I feel like it's beating fast and do that, I find out that it's actually quite normal. As for your paranoia, you have to distract yourself. Watch some good TV, listen to Bob Marley(:rasta: Bob Marley is awesome.), do what you gotta do. It's a great drug, and I'd hate for you to miss out on it because of a bad experience.

Oh and, as for getting more high? Hold the lighter a little bit longer, and then take the big hits. Keep hitting offa the pipe untill you feel like you're gonna cough. Hold back the coughs, exhale, and then cough it up. :thumbsup:

Just relax, man.
Smoke with people ya know and trust. Smoke with that girl ya really like, yer stoner friends who always seem ta have a good time, yer one buddy ya can't really figure out.

And realistically, weed isn't for everyone, just like alcohol and other drugs. If it's you, then accept.
No problem. Be safe, have fun, don't judge.

Bro... one of my close friends started about 2 yrs ago and for the first few times he used to always 'freak out' as you did... the exact same things you've described.... the shaking the feeling when he sat down and he even saw some guy following him the first time... but he's much better now...

I would suggest you smoke with one of your friends who you feel comfortable with take in a lesser amount and don't try to fight the high just sit back and enjoy it. Just remember that ur using one of the safest drugs out there and nothing can happen... and as you start using it more often you'll relize the power of the drug and you'll be able to control it and then you can just chill and relax or get fucked out of your mind...

take it easy....
