    Took my first hit ever last weekend...WHAT HAPPENED?

    I have really bad paranoia and Generlized anxiety, infact I was diagnosed as schizophrenic today, which kind of sucks ass. Anyways, you should probably smoke an indica if you can get your hands on one. I get panic attacks if I smoke too much of a sativa, and since this was your first time you probably got a sativa dominant and your mix of anxiety. Also weed causes paranoia in some people, so that could be it. With more experience you should be fine.

    I bought my own glass pipe at a tobacco shop and my friend supplied the pot. I took two hits total.... and I was fine with inhaling (although it burned like hell the second time!)

    I felt like something was "strange" at first... and then slowly...I began to worry about EVERYTHING! "do I look stupid?" Will I ever feel normal? What time is it? Will I be able to drive home? Will I have a panic attack?" blah..blah..blah..

    I do suffer from panic attacks and anxiety (I take Lexapro and the occasional xanax) and so I was really hoping pot would help calm me down.

    Is this normal for a first timer to be so paranoid? Did I smoke too much? too little? Should I have rolled a joint mixed with tobacco instead of using a pipe? Did my surroundings effect my high?

    I want to try it again so badly.. but I don't want to feel worried and paranoid and anxious. Any suggestions?

    Thank you in advance for any replies.
    a couple things I want to say. firstly, dont mix nicotine just yet..They both have different effects on blood pressure, just dont do it, at least until you build up tolerance

    2. I suffer from panic and anxiety attacks just like you. And i have had lots of bad trips on pot. Panic attacks while high gave me some of the worst experiences of my life. But i have leanred some things

    a. It seems like for me, if my body gets hit at once with a huge dose of thc, i naturally freak.
    b. so what i do is even now (and i keep my tolerance low by the way), is take your time. Its not a race and pay no attention to the people smoking 3-4 bowls at once to get high. This is what I do. I take 2 hits right off the bat. Give that 10-15 minutes and let it run its course, which gives me an idea of the strength of the dose. With experience, i have a good feel for what i am doing. after 15 minutes has passed, i will take one or 2 more hits. Give that 5-10 minutes and see if i am as high as i want to be. By this time, i can feel the effect of each successive hit. If i am not high as i want to be, i keep repeating the process until i am at where i want to be. A certain point will come along where i feel like 1. a bigger dose probably wont get me higher than i already am and 2 i am as high as i want to be, there i stop. This does a couple things for me. My brain doesnt freak out when it gets slammed with a massive dose of thc at once. I think that spreading the dose out like this sort of prevents the huge spike in heart rate. So coming from a guy who has the same problems as you, this is what has helped me. Their is no reason to take more hits than you need. waste of money and waste of tolerance. weed is no fun with a high tolerance

    (by the way, i have panic and anxiety attacks outside of pot too)

    edit-more stuff- also, you need to know that if you ever do freak out, just relax and be calm and laugh it off. thc can seriously screw with your head. my heart is somthing that i freak out about mostly. I always perceive my heart rate as faster than it is. Like i will feel like i am panting and my heart is racing, than i will feel my chest and laugh at how normal my heart rate feels

    just wanted to add one more thing yet......the 5 minute limit got passed up..anyway lastly

    what used to happen when i lived in a dorm last year was this. We pretty much had to smoke really fast and try to do it as quickly as possible. And personally, i just cant handle a huge dose all at once. spreading it out allows me to adjust to the high at my own pace. I still get baked as all get out, and my body likes this way much better. Spreading out the dose is a great way for me to prevent freaking out since i can slowly adjust. this way, i feel like i am in control

    i felt somewhat like this my first time... i become afraid beacuse my perception were sooo distorted, my toughts confused, etc...
    anyway, the next day i was dying to smoke again hehehe :jointsmile:

    just one more advice... enjoy this "bad" trips... cause there will come one day in your life, after many time of smoking, you will wish you become as stoned as you were in this first time... but even you smoke a lot, you will never reach the feeling of this first times... so, enjoy, while you can :thumbsup:

    keep toking, and welcome to the wonderful world of weed! :rasta:

    I am really VERY grateful to all who have given me such insightful responses! it means a lot to me... all the support. I'm very curious to try pot again... but I'm having a hard time getting my hands on some (I'm such a rookie).

    I'm reading that indica strains are definitely the best for me.... kush if I can find it. Now.... it's all about finding it!!!!!!!

    Panic attacks suck... and the worst part is there's not a lot you can do about it. Just realize that it will probably happen, at least for awhile still , and when it does, stop yourself for 2 seconds and say "this is because of the herb. chill out" and try to distract yourself with how nice your head feels or something :jointsmile: happy tokin

    The first time I ever smoked pot was when I was 12 years old (they seems really young now that I'm older) and at the Warp Tour in Boreal, California. I remember feeling different, not how I feel high now, but just like I was nothing yet something, if you know what I mean. I thought I was a free spirt because there were like 20,000 people all out at a ski-slope during the summer listening to bands play, such a hippy thing lol. But now I feel like I am myself except in a deeper (I feel like my eyes are in my brain look out out, I feel like I can see from 4" behind my eyelips. Anyways, so yeah, 12 years old was a turning point, then the first time I ever smoked out of a bong. "The Green Machine" was it's name. I really need to grow some pot fast because I hate buying weeds for $50 and 1/8 or 5 grams or so. Plus I feel like I am always inconveniencing him since he is my friend, but not good hanging out friend. Ya know.

    Give it another try in the comfort of your own home. Also, try only taking 1 small rip and see how you feel... determining it from there...!
