ah the old anxiety attacks... one of the only problems with marijuana. Just about every smoker has had one of these at some time or another. Anxiety happens when we are worried about something or embarresed about a situation etc. Even With out smoking weed people experience anxiety when doing certain things like giving a speech, performing infront of someone, presenting a project in class, etc etc. Anxiety is stress put on a person for some reason or another. When the human body has stress, blood pressure increases, heart rate increases, metabolism goes down you can begin to perspire and even your musscles tense up. After smoking marijuana some of the effects are your heart rate increases and your blood pressure increases, basically some of the same symptoms of stress. so it is no wonder why if given the right situation you can get anxiety from weed, a contributing factor to this and which is often the reason for an anxiety attack is YOU!

Your high, your heart is beating fast you begin to think you might have a heart attack you begin to really sketch out and before you know it you have a total anxiety attack. The only way to stop having these is to understand you can controll them, in a way its all in your mind. if you begin to feel antsy try to focus your attention on something else and tell your self its all in your head. tell yourself nothing is going to happen because no one has died from marijuana in our entire recorded medical history. If it comes to the point where you are ready to go to the hospital try putting clear eyes in, eating a little food and drinking some water. The clear eyes really help bring down a high and your high is often brought down enough for you to regain controll of your emotions. Know that you are not the only one who experiences anxiety from smoking marijuana actually a fair amount of people come in to hospitals every year high and freaking out from a anxiety attack.

hope this helps dont let paranoia hold you back from the wonderfull herb.:jointsmile:

Here's my story: I used to smoke a decent amount for about a year and a half straight (which isn't much, I know) but I loved the enjoyable relaxing effects that marijuana gave me! I used to smoke to make events more enjoyable or to help me fall asleep at night. I used it more like an enhancer than anything else. Anyways, up until January of 2006 (over a year ago) I was having a great time with weed. One random night a friend and I decided to smoke a couple of pipes which normally Rating: 5
