Bad effects of smoking??

I haven't really had any odd experiences except for that one time I had my first ever edible bud goodie (it was a firecracker) and then I was also flying by myself for the first time. Needless to say, that got pretty twisted.

This girl at my school came back after lunch earlier this year, and while sitting in the cafeteria she just passed out. I think it was a combination of heat/dehydration.

 

Thats an understatement when it comes to panic attacks. Its basically dying except you're still alive after wards. Seriously, if you've had a real panic attack you know what it feels like to die, at least psychologically. If I was around when people tried to make somebody have a panic attack I'd send them to the emergency room.

 

Yup I have had a few panic attacks, the worst was certainly last summer at my friends house. I had just smoked a bong and was suddenly overtaken by a crazy pounding heart, I was sweating bullets, I felt weak in my legs and had to lie down, I was having trouble breathing, shit just wasn't cool.

As wonka said though you need to take a few drinks of water and concentrate and breathing. It is the only way to help it pass by.

 

Yes I know what it's like to have a severe panic attack.

If I hadn't written down my friends number earlier that day, I most definitely would have called 911 or something.The absence of people just make it 10x worse.

 

Hey decided to join this forum after reading this post. About a couple months back i was chilling with a friend in his basement smoking playing video games and we had just smoked. So as im sitting there i start to freak out caue i could feel my heart pounding and i was feeling really cold. So i thought i was having a heart attack or something. But after about 30 mins or so it start to level off and i felt like my normal self when stoned. Also i was a pretty heavy smoker at that point so it wasn't like i was new to it or anything. But now i it doesn't happen unless im around sketchy people. Atleast i know im not alone.

 

No heart beat?That's scary.

 

Yeah but it has been many many moons.

 

I have honestly never had a bad experience with marijuana, and I've been smoking for a long time.

All of these panic attacks are all in your head. You people gotta get a grip.

 

I hear fake voices all the time.


It'd be crazier if she was dead!

 

Maybe lighten up?

 

Just because it's easy for one person to, doesn't mean it is for another.

 

Meh when I had a panic attack it wasn't all in my head, I was thinking perfectly clearly but out of nowhere I was incapacitated lol. It wasn't like I thought I was going to die, I knew exactly what was happening, but my heart was beating like crazy and I was too weak to even stand. That physical weakness definitely was not just in my head lol.

 

Most of the time onset is unavoidable because it is involentary and inappropriate action of the nervous system. although it is controllable by taking the central nervous system from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic using focus and breathing.

 

Yes, they are all in the head. Thats the point. If you've never had one before you don't know that though. Or even that that is what is happening. As far as you can tell you're having a heart attack.

I got over my panic problems by enduring one attack after another until I realized that, as you said, it was all in my head.

I can't help being slightly offended by your comment though. I'm not pissed or anything, but I am a little put off at how you marginalize this problem, as though the people that suffer from it are weak or stupid or something.

You have to understand the first panic attack often comes out of nowhere. You're just going about your business and everything is fine, then a thought creeps into your head, perhaps not pleasant but not something that would normally have a huge impact on you - then the next thing you know you're too weak to stand or lift your arms and your heart is beating at what seems like 400 BPM and you can't breathe and you feel like your slipping into the void and you feel like your arteries are going to tear from all the pressure caused by your heart pumping entirely too hard and fast and you're trying to cope with the realization (however incorrect) that in a few moments you will no longer exist.

My point is, yes, panic attacks are all due to psychological processes as you say, but that doesn't mean you can get rid of them by simply telling yourself that.

ITs like beer. If you give beer to somebody who has never tasted it they're going to hate it, no matter how good you know it is and tell them it is. Only after they've endured the bad taste so many times will they realize it is, in fact, not bad at all.

 

Woot, just had another experience last night... I live in a condo. My neighbors next door are these two ghetto asshole dudes who are also yelling late at night and were beating this chick up one night about a month ago (before I called the cops). But anyway my moms gone this weekend so I just chilled all night and smoked. I'm getting ready to go to bed and close my bedroom door. I then start hearing them yell. After like a minute I hear some doors opening in their unit... and then that's when I hear MY unit door open (we need some WD40 for real because our unit door squeaks like hell). Then I hear my moms bedroom door open and I start freaking out, my hearts going like 20 beats a second and I run to my closest and grab my BB gun. I load it all up and grab a bathrobe (because I was just in my boxers at this point) and slowly open my bedroom door.

Low and behold there wasn't a goddamn thing there. My unit door had been locked and deadbolted the whole time. Then I had one of those "see yourself" moments and started laughing my ass off and how crazy I am... too much fucking drugs man.

 

I've never had a panic attack.

I tripped out of my mind one time, pretty fun.

but i've never been like OMG IM GONNA DIE.

 

^^ bb gun?


Get something that'll actually kill...


I'm ready for fuckin armageddon, entire gun cabinet filled to the brim, and ammo for months.

 

yeah thanks, cause you know you saying that will totally change me and make it all better

 

The only really bad experience with weed is when I first tried it. Super paranoia.
I've had paranoia since then, but it was all part of the fun, I feel.

The only other bad experience I've had with weed is when I was drunk and I smoked, then proceeded to puke. No fun. Or when I was dehydrated, but that's unrelated.

We aren't all paranoid, pipe stealers

 

Ive had a pretty bad experience. i smoke after school with my friend and we where chilling and playing cod 4 when all of a sudden i felt really weird and started bugging out and my friend told me all i was doing was running circles in the game( that's how zoned out i was). so i put down the controller and my heart started beating really fast. or at least it felt like it. i took my pulse and it was at a normal rate. then i felt weak and uncomfortable and felt overall really bad. so i sorta just lied down and tried to empty my mind until i settled down a bit.

but then again, i smoke in the worst conditions; I hadn't slept the night before, eatin barely anything the whole day and had nothing to drink.
