I used to smoke a lot back when I was around fourteen and I stopped for about 3 or 4 years because I smoked keif one time and started freaking out and I felt high for a month afterward, crazy shit. Anyway, over the past year I have tried smoking numerous times and every time I still get incredible panic attacks, no matter what I do. They are not normal weed-related panic attacks either, everything feels and looks like it's bouncing up and down, I can feel and hear my heartbeat in my whole body, when I turn to look at something my vision doesn't catch up for 2 seconds, I feel like everything is a million miles away from me, weird psychedelic stuff like that. My question is, is it a certain type of strain of weed I shouldn't be smoking like sativa because I heard that's the more psychedelic strain. Or am I just one of those people who can't smoke. I wish I could solve it because I used to enjoy smoking, any thoughts?
a good friend of mine had the same problem and he overcame it... he only smoked with close friends and he made sure he was completely relaxed before he smoked. He just changed his mindset i guess...i spose the logic is sort of: if weed effects your perception, change your perception before you smoke and the changes the weed creates will be different...and hopefully positive
Try to get sum that your friend comfirms that it relaxes you cuz i had a friend he use always freakout and ever since we got this new hook up hes shit makes us juss sooo happy . SO he only somkes it wen we get this new guys shit cuz he says it dosent make him freak out. SO we smoke a hole lotta shit juss 2day and hes still laughinnng
well sativa is more mental, indica is more couch-lock physical. so getting something more indica (like ak47 I believe, but don't quote me) could help.
Cognitive behavioral therapy...look it up. Basically it's a fancy term for altering your thought patterns. Start smoking very slowly. Take a hit and observe how it feels. The key is to stay in control..smoke until you start to feel the bad feelings coming on..and just reassure yourself that it's just marijuana, and that you're not going to freak out. Do this for as long as you can stay in control of your thoughts...but don't smoke more. Do this a few times...getting higher and higher each time. Every time the negative thought comes, stop it! Tell yourself that it's just pot, and you're going to have a good high. That's what I would do...and did. I used to get really paranoid and hallucinate after smoking...but I did this for about a month, and tada! No more paranoia. (works with munchies too...) Long live CBT!
