Yup, it's 100% possible to overcome weed panic attacks and the panic attacks that follow in your sober life! Just gotta understand that it's not the weed, but your own thoughts and way of thinking that's causing the attacks.
Agreed! Thanks for sharing
man i have these and its hell i want to live my previous life, after i smoked weed month ago im not the same person, help :(
Are you smoking again now ?
@@yungghost5889 No, never again i dont know what would happen if i risk smoke again :(
@@byebyepanic Mines happen because I consumed 100 mg caninubus edible out of curiosity, it was my first edible, help! :(
I had a panick attack from weed even though I used to smoke a lot. I broke my 6 month tolerance break and I hit my cart too many times I guess and I ended up having panic attack after panic attack for a whole night. Like whenever I was about to slip into dream state my heart would start jolting and boom panicking. I turned pale and I had another panic attack after that and haven’t had one since. But when ever I try weed again I always get very anxious unless I occupy myself with a video game or a task. I don’t understand honestly. I want to enjoy weed like I used to but now it’s like I have to fight my anxiety to have a good time.
Yaa same with me, do you still smoke?, how you feel now?
@@sgprgyan1026 same with me , I smoked today but it wasn’t the same , I was still panicking , from now im done
@@sgprgyan1026 bro 5 months ive had severe anxiety and cant smoke weed anymore :( i miss it so much now i take xanax just to function
it happened today to me. i just took a month off of smoking and i hit my friends cart like 10 times and that’s nothing to me usually. but after 30 minutes i had a panic attack and it was the worse feeling ever. i had like 5 more after that. i just don’t understand why that happened cause when i usually do a tolerance break and smoke that much i never get a panic attack but this happened some how
Yeah same. I used to smoke in college, not everyday but maybe a couple of times a week. Took one long break, got waaaay too crossed at a party and boom, panic attack.
One thing I’ve noticed though is that if I smoke a dab pen, those usually don’t last too long so I’m comforted in that aspect so it’s not bad.
My best advice is to forget about it, it happened for a reason, stop questioning it, hit the gym, meet new people, go out with friends you enjoy spending time with, get rich, and most importantly DO NOT smoke anything, you don’t need any of these things inside you, maybe god made this happen so you wouldn’t get any serious illness in the future(maybe lung cancer). it’s just another thing we can forget about. life is more than a blunt. live second by second. tomorrow is never important. no one would ever want to die scared. be brave. You are still alive for a reason.
Amen. I get constantly scared at the smell of weed now though because I don’t want to get high. What do I do about this?
@@Vrmedits0 I had really strong edibles my first time (100mg) and I had a massive panic attack. After that they kept coming back almost on a daily basis and I also didn't want to smoke. Eventually after 2 weeks I was fine but was still worried of using any THC products. The way I got rid of it is to not be scared of the THC and try low dosages. I ate some 2.5mg edibles, 5mg, 10mg. After consuming them and not getting panic attacks I was no longer worried and free of panic attacks. Currently I still don't smoke or buy edibles but I'm no longer in a state where I'm wondering when the next panic attack will come.
Do NOT SMOKE weed if you suffer from anxiety and panic disorder because it will make it so worst to the point of a nervous breakdown opening doors to other future mental illnesses. Say no to THC and say yes to CBD !
Whats THC and what CBD
@@goodprince5327 thc basically makes you feel high cbd helps you relax and doesn’t make u high
@@goodprince5327 thc is like walking on water and cbd is more like laying on your bed on a sunday morning.
@@ghostface2156 I m actually asking for the initials 😅
@@goodprince5327 wdym intials?
Thank you for talking about this. I only dabbled in weed a few times after high school. Once was two years ago and I had the worst experience of my left I could’ve swore I wasn’t real and that I was going to be like that forever, I felt awful all night, restless, agitated, crazy feeling. I’ve had gad and anxiety and the DRDP off and on , finally got a handle of it now. Decided to try smoking again a week ago. Only had one hit and it triggered a lot in me. I was able to take a walk and ground myself. But I’ve come to find this just isn’t for me. I’m grateful people are explaining these symptoms rather than acting like weed is a cure all and no bad side effects.
Ive had the same feelings as well. Everything you described was me. Some people say weed is a cure and its good for you. But for others it isnt. And I thought I was mentally ill for having these bad side effects and thought I needed therapy. But I was just misinformed about the effects of weed. And once I got past the panic and anxiety from the hits. I did not like the feeling of being slow and sluggish.
@@1992Xenomorph I thought the same, like what’s wrong with me bc weed is good for everyone else lol, turns out everyone’s brain is different lol glad you’re ok
Freaking same. Didn't feel like I was real. Was terrible af
Good don't do drugs . I had my experiences also no bueno.
Do you have a water rising sign? (astrology)
I experience anxiety fairly often when I smoke weed. I get way too in my head about things that don’t matter and almost become consumed by certain negative thoughts. afterwards I always am anxious that somehow my brain is messed up from that experience and I get into my head about that too. Obviously these are just my thoughts and I don’t have to agree with them or give them power to hold me down. Sounds like a lot of you guys experience something similar so it’s good to know we’re in this together
Same here weed sucks now
It’s weird for me because even though I know these things. I still continue to feel that way until it subsides. I’ve smoked for years even was able to smoke a lot and not even feel that high just normal. Now if I even take like 2 hits I’m going through it 😭 for some reason it doesn’t happen all the time though? There will be days I can smoke & feel normal, then other days it just sucks
Anyone having panic attacks, my best advice is to stay calm. Nobody has died from a panic attack. Focus on deep breathing from your belly and not your chest. In for 4 seconds, hold for 4 secs, release for 4. Tell yourself that you're fine and this is only temporary. This will soon pass. Get yourself moving or occupy your mind with something (TV, games, reading etc). Sip on some water. You're going to be just fine!
the thing for me though is, im not afraid of dying when im having a panic attack, im afraid of permanently losing my mind. i can tell myself its only temporary but it literally feels like time has stopped and that im stuck forever.
@@mollyoxythat’s actually true
You can actually die of a panic attack. Just as people die of running too much. When your heart is beating so fast it's up in the air to genetics or hidden or known disorders
Mine was so bad, that I would have took my life if I had the means
Having a panic attack? Stay calm. That’s the problem 😂 not exactly a good solution when you’re HIGH and not thinking straight
Perfect explanation. Heavy user for a couple years quit cold turkey due to a panic attack. Very randomly 5 months later developed into a full blown panic disorder and GAD. Took me 2 years to get over it through meditation and therapy. Happy I went through it all, learned a lot. Shocking to me how many people have a similar story.
How did you get over the GAD? Did you stop smoking for 2 years?
@@asqiiz2117 no I've stopped smoking completely. 4 years off at this point. I was in cognitive behavioral therapy for some time. That led me to change a lot about my life. Daily meditation, Journaling, exercise, and big diet changes helped me get over it. Took a long time and a lot of work but definitely worth it.
@@SealTeamSekc which medication did you take ?
Happened to me too! Exact same story.
@@pintorafael I personally refused medication because of my own research into side effects. I won't say one way or the other because medication is necessary for probably a lot of cases. But I was prescribed Lexapro and Xanax
Just wanted to leave a comment to say thank you for tackling this issue. I find myself having panic attacks daily.
A lot of stoners won’t admit that weed can be damaging.
Never underestimate how powerful your ten minute video can be
i experience the same thing. this is risky, people do not realize if it’sa panic attack they don’t even know . this shit is tooo risky guys it will ruin your relationship i am saying this with experience.
Going on 3 years sober from weed. Quiting marijuana was the best thing I ever did a long with getting sober from oxy/heroin and fentanyl but weed was horrible and my mental health is so much better now being clean and sober off everything!
Awesome
Yeah I was a heroin addict for 20 years.. you used to smoke weed as well started getting panic attacks again and I was thinking about getting some weed now I'm having second thoughts I don't know yet...
@@650AFTERHOURSOC I don’t recommend it. Going on 5 years no weed now. I’m so past that lifestyle now. Can’t even stand the smell of it.
Thank you so much for this, I desperately needed the closure. Had a panic attack from smoking weed, people around me thought I've been possessed or run mad,it was the worst and most traumatic experience of my life, it completely changed my life😢😢.This video has given me some closure,I legitimately thought something was wrong with my brain. Thank you, I really needed to hear this.
hey how you feeling right now?
Yes this is absolutely awful growing up through my teenage years I experimented with a lot of different drugs. I smoked weed from 13 all the way up until 26 now I've stopped consuming weed or any other substance I just can't handle it anymore it went from being one of the best feeling substances to a nightmare because of how my brain operates. I have plenty of vivid memories of getting high with friends and having one of the best times of my life now I'm stuck in my head everytime I smoke trying to pretend that I'm good on the outside but freaking the hell out on the inside and it's just not enjoyable anymore
Take shrooms my boy it relives anxiety panic attacks depression everything and you can go back to enjoying your cannabis trust me I wish a lot of people knew this ❤
how do u feel now ??
That's literally what happened to me :c
Literally what I’m dealing with now!
i’m just gonna say i have met a lot of people at the psych ward that wound up there because of weed induced psychosis so please be careful.
How long did the psychosis last for them?
@@tomiic4994 i suppose it depends on the person. the delusions can last a while tho i know that. i met one guy who was young like me and he had awful delusions and he was in hospital for months before realising his delusions weren’t real. hope your ok btw
@@Tillyflop I appreciate you sharing your experience. I'm sorry that you had a rought time too. For me, the actual panic attack lasted until I was sober mainly. I struggled with anxiety and mild - moderate anxiety attacks for a while after. It just felt so isolating and lonely in my mind, like the outside world was this cold place and I couldn't connect with anyone meaningfully. The de-realization was awful and my mind couldn't fathom that this world was actually real. It was like a trick that made my mind confuse reality with a dream and nothing mattered. A lot of it had to do with stress I was dealing with at the time. I've recovered very well since then, however. My heart grew stronger and more compassionate (for myself and others) through it. I also have a firm grip on reality (possibly more than before my healing). Thank you for your kindness.
I think people who get weed induced psychosis don’t really have the panic attacks. It’s like they don’t even notice they psychotic. So if you are afraid of psychosis you probably just anxious
@@danorterockstarno it exacerbates, pre existing mental conditions.
They had underlying illnesses, and it just didn't work out for them. This can happen with any substance.
"how do you know if you have no underlying mental issue?"
You can't really know, until it surfaces somehow, in this person's case, the people used cannabis and their receptors were too rapid
I am having a panic attacks while writing this. It’s a scary feeling I tell you that ! Watching this video calm me down because I thought it losing my head. Weed is not fun when you are stressed, when ever you crave it go out for a run! From this day on I won’t smoke ! This feeling is hell
I have to smoke it.. because opioid withdrawal is unbearable, and weed can stop some of the pain.. but the nightmare weed can do to me is as you said..hell.
Lemon juice and pepper corn please try it when you feel you have a panic mode coming on I noticed it helped me
No u did not just pray to god and he will cast it out the devil will not win today in the name of Jesus
😂😂😂😂
THC in high doses stimulates the amygdala which causes anxiety, panic, and paranoia. I had to stop because I hate being afraid. When I'm straight I fear nothing.
Me too
نوبات الهلع غالبا سببها الحشيش .....
وهو عدم تقبل عقلك لتلك النشوة المفاجئة ... وغالبا ماتاتي من جرعات كبيرة دفعة واحدة ...
الافضل تدخين الحشيش ببطئ حتى لا تفاجئ عقلك
وهناك عدة حالات اخرى .....
مابعد نوبة الهلع .... قد تحتاج الى وقت حتى يعود عقلك الى سابق عهده وذلك يختلف من شخص لاخر .
Yep this weed for me is way too over “sensitizing” for someone already overly sensitive. I smoked for years with no issue then all of a sudden nope can’t do it not enjoyable at all. Even if it’s just triggering not worth it. Sober for almost a year I feel great and nearly fully “recovered” from severe panic disorder…actually I’d say I Am recovered because now it’s just meh here’s the sensations again whatever it’ll pass.
I was the same took tonnes of edibles one night last year been in anxious cycles ever since 🙃
Sober for 5 years and it's just the same history. Take care
How did you recover? Did you do shaan’s program?
Im in the cycle for a year and idk i want to smoke but cant, ill do idk what
@@grdeli3803 have you smoked yet , i’m in the same boat
I’ve experienced two panic attacks after consuming some sort of marijuana substance. My first time I was very confused because I was a heavy smoker, as I was driving home I began to feel like what I believe was an outter body experience. My body would not stop shaking as I was driving home and every word in the music that was playing made me paranoid. I began to see things and I felt extremely scared. My second time I took an edible before going into a casino. Worst decision ever. All of the loud noises had my heart beating out of my chest to the point I couldn’t breathe, the sirens & alarms gave me this feeling of death. It was very hard for me to relax & trying to stay calm in front of hundreds of people. I had that same shaking feeling as before but this time was worst. After that I never touched any drug every again. I even became to feel uncomfortable in my own home. As time passed, I started to feel more comfortable but I’m scared to enjoy smoking like I used to
Yeah something kind of scary happened to me last time I did it too, been sober for almost 6 months now. But it felt bad to know many things happening all around, even I could hear friends talk about me behind my back or laugh, other people too, I don’t know it just felt dark and like spiritually I was getting weakened I think. Hear rate was so high and of course the anxiety was full on. It was a very weird experience for me those times specially with carts of sativa, I still am cautious about people in my life but I prefer it that way to stay sober and alert just in case I feel like that, but also after that I just haven’t or don’t really like to soacialize much anymore. I just feel like I realize just how dark the world is guess and instead I feel like I should be prepare and ready more spiritually and physically to something that God as purpose me on I think. Thank you for sharing, for me it was really scary even realizing some people I think used like dark stuff to get to me I think (witches)
Exactly the same for me
You did crack
Was it dispensary weed?
Sorry to hear about your horrible experience. I had a similar experience as well. Took two small hits of a joint and instantly became paranoid. Like you mentioned with the music and the lyrics, it began to make me more paranoid as well. Felt the same out of body experience and I had to turn the music off and get some fresh air. Had a similar experience in public as well. Every noise, every person that I made contact with made me paranoid. I was in a casino as well and all that noise only made it worse. Felt like everyone was looking at me. Worse feeling ever
Your video was 100% discouraging. You did double talk and contradict yourself. I came here with the intent to help me overcome a panic attack, and you made it worse.
The best way to treat anxiety is to turn into the anxiety not run away from it, experience the feelings and understand that they won't and can't last forever, do this enough and anxiety losers all power. Very similar to how they treat ocd and other issues along those lines.
After i got covid i didnt smoke for 3 weeks straight. Then i tooka hit of my bong and had the worst panick attack of my life. XD
What was on your mind before you took a hit? and we’re you already tense or in a stressful environment?
watching while high asf
Same here bruh 🙃🌿
How do people get high of weed i only experience panic attacks
@@vincecool72 you need to know which strain. if i smoke cannabis i get panic attack and anxiety. but if its indica it makes me feel good.
😂
I've been burning for 20+ years and I didn't get panic attacks until I tried vaping, within a week of my first vape I had an incident where I couldn't stand without passing out for an entire day, my brain felt like it reset and lost everything it was saving and I felt like I had to relearn a ton of things in my life the next day turned directly into incredible panic attacks every single day from that point on and have been dealing with 5-6 of them a day for the last 4-5 years and the only thing that at least takes the edge off right now is straight flour. I don't know if it was the vape thing but just thinking about vaping gives me anxiety.
The vape affected your blood pressures
..that's crazy
Vapes are poison trash. Stick to natural ways of smoking. Roll it, or bowl it.
I disassociated months after a bad first experience with an edible, I will try not to go too In depth, But I experienced one of the worst trips of my life after consuming an edible, I'd ever tried one before, I'd smoked joints in the past, albeit rarely, but this seemed like a good opportunity to try it for the first time, It took a while for the edible to kick in, Initially I had a nice high and was in a relatively good mood, I sat with family who had also decided to indulge and we were all happy to sit and chat, however things took a turn when I started to hear conversations in reverse, over and over again, I began to panic as I started to feel out of touch with reality, I decided to go up the stairs to my room and lie down and go for a snooze to try and sleep it off, while lying down, my heart began to palpitate, I felt as if my muscles were twitching, I had no control of my body, and the more I tried to concentrate on stopping myself from twitching, The more I could 'feel' my muscles spasming, I feared that I was having a bad reaction and may be experiencing a fit/seizure, I tried to get help, I attempted to go back down the stairs because I didn't want to be alone, I wanted to reassure myself that I was okay? but I couldn't get down the staircase, it was an endless loop, stair after stair, it felt like hours, when I finally got to the bottom of the stairs, I thought I had broken the loop cycle, but the trip proceeded to get worse, I was extremely paranoid that something wasn't right, and the I thought the affects were beginning to wear off, they would hit me again, I spiralled into some pretty dark thoughts, My sense of time was warped, I felt as if I was trapped in an eternal time loop and was going to relieve the same night over and over, towards the end of my trip, I truly believed that I had never actually made it down the stairs and that I had died in my sleep and was in purgatory for the rest of eternity. I was emotionally numb for a couple of months following this experience, nothing seemed real anymore, gradually that feeling subsided, That was over a year ago, I hadn't touched THC again until very recently, I had a joint with my BF, we were chatting, the vibe was nice, But I began to feel a sense of deja vu, I could feel my reality beginning to warp, and the shaking started, I panicked because I thought I was going to relive that horrible experience again, so I turned off the lights, wrapped myself in a blanket, My BF held me tight, which helped me ground myself. I used positive self talk to ease myself into a calm state " I am safe, I am protected, nothing bad is happening to me, this feeling will end soon" and repeated that in my head while concentrating on my breathing, I did have contradictory thoughts, but the repetition of those affirmations helped and I managed to fall asleep after what felt like a long time, safe to say weed just isn't for me, I'll likely never touch it again. But to those of you wanting to try it, my advice to you would be, Do your research, go into it with a positive mindset and be safe, make sure you have a trusted friend or parter there. I believe your environment and subconscious beliefs play a big part on how you respond, I had no idea what to expect and that is likely one of the main factors that led to me having such a horrible high, if you suffer from anxiety, look for other outlets to calm you, this would not be my first recommendation.
crazy how ur experience seems to be exactly how I felt too. things get better with time!
I’ve been feeling pretty anxious and other things, like you described. So far it’s been a month, it should wear off in a few weeks right ?
Hell yeah that's the same experience I had though I was very much fine like a day after that but I can vividly remember what I experienced it was like the plot of Inception where you're in a dream of a Dream of a Dream and that loop never seems to end. It's certainly not for everyone better look of you're not going through suicidal/bad anxiety if you're going to try and do it in the supervision of a trusted person in a Controlled manner.
I had two back to back full-fledged fight or flight panic attacks at my job a few months ago. Induced by exhaust fumes/Carbon Monoxide poisoning exacerbated by the 98% Sativa cartridge I was vaping on. Heart rate was at 210!! I play drums, I’m super aware of how hard I can push myself cardiovascularly and those panic attacks were no joke, scariest thing that’s ever happened to me. Thankfully I did a ton of cleansing, exercise and took a 70 day break from weed. World of difference!!
you smoking weed again? if so are you still getting anxiety attacks?
Same! It’s been terrible lately for me and I’ve been smoking for 6 years! Haven’t smoked since. Have you smoked again?
@@dakotabyer3191 no I went cold turkey. Its been about a month an a half. Its not even worth it anymore, ive been doing better ever since I stopped ..
Why are you doing drugs on the job? Isn't that dangerous?
What kind of exercise or cleansing ?
Damn i quit weed it gives you demonic thoughts
This happened to me panic attacks of heavy using and super high THC out of no where. I now take t breaks and don't smoke for a week pushing for 2 weeks next week but this sat I'm getting some low THC weed with CBD and enjoying it instead of abusing it. Your THC receptors in the brain just get overloaded I was having a talk with another person about this. High THC is overated it's just for buisness some can handle it but you don't need high THC when you take tolerance breaks all u need is 10 or 15 percent THC with CBD in it.
Hit the nail on the head with this one! I experienced every single thing you’ve just said. The derealization hit me hard especially not knowing what it was. Thank you so much you truly have spoken with help and wisdom!
The only reason I get panic attacks when high is because my heart starts racing whenever I put thc into my body
same here
Same bro, I’m not as bad now but couple months ago my heart rate went to like 180 in my room, scariest shit ever, a break was definitely needed
same bro my heart goes crazy when i smoke weed and i get paranoic and now i have panic attacks i have not touched weed tho.
@@themuffinbg516 yea man it’s fucked, I stopped for 2 months or so after 2 years of everyday and it’s slowly going away. Still happens but not as intense, give it a couple months and you’ll forget about it, it’s all in the head non of it’s real man
@@Harrisoncardiff Man u give me so much hope, thanks.
Bro saved my life I was about to tell my parents I smoke weed and fuck up my mental health.
How old are you? Bro are you at least 18 cause why you have to tell your parents 🤣 I just went through these weed effects, you have to be mature about it to over come it .
Smoked for 13 years never once had anxiety or paranoia from it, then had a rude awakening after smoking for some reason. Had a massive panic attack that lasted forever I assume cause i didn't know what was going on and was scared into oblivion. I then had generalized anxiety and dpdr for 3-4 months afterwards, with OCD thinking I was falling into psychosis ( developing schizoprenia or some crazy disorder ) and that scared me even more. I fell into the cycle of retrying it after those 4 months and right back to square one, major anxiety and dpdr again. My run with cannabis is over. I've also had health anxiety/hypochondria for years as well so that probably didn't help.
Try wim hof method man.. It will be alright soon
adress your thoughts and emotions, face them even if they hurt and don’t intervene
You got anxiety, and one of the most commons fear of anxiety is the fear of going crazy, but i tell you that is impossible, anxiety and schizoprenia are two different things, in fact if you had schizoprenia you would not event get worried about going crazy, i tell you this because it happened to me, i overcame it already
About the going insane or schizophrenic part , my therapist once told me , if you think your going crazy you arnt because crazy people don’t know they are crazy lol ! Hope this helps
@@emafrancisco1808how did you overcome this??
I’ve actually quit about a year ago so I’m happy about that, but my anxiety and panic attacks have been terrible I can’t even function in regular life. I also started drinking more after I stopped smoking so I’m sure that didn’t help me heal and reprogram my brain. I’m going to stop drinking and I hope I get over this. It’s extremely exhausting and I forgot what happy feels like
Good luck on your journey and I hope you find happiness 🙏
I smoked 10 times in my life and got anxiety after the last one didn't know if I was physically sick or what .. realized it was anxiety and it's been 2 years ...u feel changed and uncomfortable doing regular stuff that u didn't even think about doing before smoking...also you have a hard time resting because u are constantly worried about the present and the future...sucks wish I never smoked but I know that if I didn't try that time I would have had eventually anyway
Alcohol sucks sister. Take it from me.
Not your brain man, it’s you. Over come it. Simply by thinking “it’s there, ah don’t care “
Peace to you I hope things have improved for you in that regard.
I'm 43, smoked off and on since I was 15 with no real issues other then some little paranoia sometimes or anti social behavior. Last month I got high after an afternoon shift at work and I went into a full panic attack mode where I felt like I was literally about to die, called 911 and went to ER and everything. Ever since I haven't felt the same and for about 3 weeks after that incident I've been feeling really 'off'.. feeling like that attack will come back, had a milder one 2 weeks after that one without weed. Scary stuff.. I smoked off and on my entire life without much of a hitch than BAM! one time, perhaps a bad strain and here I am. Anxiety is barreling down on me everyday, panic attacks feel like they will come back, I've been getting chest X-rays, cardiogram and blood count done because the feeling of that panic attack was so real and scary and I'm a 43yr old man. Not a pretty sight. Appreciate the awareness
Analysis are okay?
@@silviobasile2759 Yes. Everything checked out. Blood work is normal, nothing in the x-rays, cardiogram revealed a strong heart, wore a halter ECG yesterday and all night, just took it back and will wait for results. As of right now nothing to report. In the last 7 weeks I've had 2 full blown panic attacks and a few times where I controlled it and escaped coupled with a few beginning symptoms which passed
@@shahid8545 ok..what is the cause of this? I have some panick attacks after i quit smoking and some derealizatoion and After 2 months i came back normal
I thought cause is in high thc level
Same experience, since My first weed induced Panic attack, ir has been 8 years of Anxiety and Panic attacks. Weed's NOT for everybody.
Dude something is going on. Its unusual. I smoked for 18+ years taking fat bong rips back to back everyday. And then out nowhere a few months ago ive been getting a panic attacks that feels physically scary. Literally out of nowhere. I wanna blaze like i used to. These symptoms have me feeling like a geezer. And im only 31.
U will never be able to smoke weed again , get sober and Finish
I realise your comment is a bit old but it might be helpful for you or others. I've had panic attacks a lot in my past and less so now (but still do occasionally). I had a counsellor who was very good in helping me understand them, why they happen and start to manage them. My interpretation for you would be this (It's a bit of a long reply, so apologies for the essay.):
Panic attacks are there for a purpose. It's a rush of adenaline to help you overcome a danger. However, if the perceived danger isn't an obvious or physical one (ie. a building on fire or a lion running at you), it isn't serving you the best solution because your body isn't using the adrenaline to run or jump or fight away a predator or whatever. What your brain/body has perceived as a danger will be the "something going on" that you need to uncover.
Something is subconsciously triggering the panic response in you and it may be the weed itself for some reason OR it's something else but getting high may be now bringing on an associated secondary fear. [Basically the fear of having a panic attack can lead you to having another panic attack when in a similar situation. This is not conscious. Your brain makes those sort of associations for you.]
So, for you it could be a secondary fear which would be: you had a panic attack for some unrelated primary reason when you smoked... and then the next times you smoked the high feeling led you to experiencing another panic attack because your subconscious brain is learning to associate being high with something to fear.
Whether it's a primary or secondary fear, you could start by reflecting on what the trigger might be. What is your subconscious actually reacting to? This can be very tricky but can be done with talking therapy and/or reflection. From your very short comment I'd suggest a few honest questions to ask yourself as a starting point:
Are you concerned on some level that having smoked every day for 18 years has damaged or is damaging your health (physical or mental)? Are you occupied with suspicions that the weed might be poisoned, modified, or cut with something dangerous in the recent past? Did something in your life change or affect you negatively/profoundly a few months' ago (small or large)? How content are you in various areas of your current life? Those are the sort of questions I'd start asking myself in your case.
If you can identify the trigger you can start to avoid it or work around it. If the trigger is getting high in itself... then yeah you might want to try knocking it on the head.
I was a avid weed smoker for 2 years. During those 2 years I was in a constant state of addiction where I was getting high but not enjoying it. After several panic attacks and anxiety i decided to quit. For about 1-2years I was in a state of consistent anxiety and nervousness. I decided to consistently exercise and focus on my well being and after about a year sober I’ve been able to feel normal / good again. It hasn’t been easy but with time it’s definitely been worth the effort. I suggest everyone find something that will lead to a positive way of thinking and well being. for me it was exercise.
At what age u start smoking weeed bro?
Wish they had videos like this back in the early 2000s. Now I’m on Paxil from a weed induced panic attack - it straight up gave me PTSD so had to go on an SSRI. Sucks.
Same here but ssri can trigger something known as serotonin syndrome I had a panic attack while on Paxil so I just stopped taking it completely
@@madigray7273 And you been good not taking the Paxil or any SSRI?
Chew peppercorns if you’re having a panic attack, it helps.
Thank you so much i'm 16 years old and i've been dealing with derealization for a year now. You don't even know how this saved me thank you a million times you saved many people with this video!
How are you now ?
You got this. How you holding up?
Yeah I’ll never go near it again it’s just not worth the risk, enjoy life through sober eyes, clear head prayers and working out and eat well, enjoy life, and working on my mental health
I'm here to share my story on this situation, I hope at least a few people read the entire thing. Around 3 weeks ago I first tried a dispo that my brother had given me, I had already told him that I wanted to know what feeling high felt like. I've never been the type of person that enjoys smoking or vaping or anything that can harm my health in general but I had seen my friend high in class the previous week and it really made me wonder what feeling high would feel like. When my brother handed his dispo to me I took a few hits but I suppose I didn't hit it the right way because I felt sleepy and the only thing strange about me was that I was talking much more than I normally would. After that day, a few days later, I told my cousin who also smokes that I had tried being high and she told me that getting high with friends or family was much more fun than doing it alone. We planned a date where we both would get high with eachother. When the day had finally came I arrived at her house and we jumped straight at it. I hit it around 5-6 times but I took big hits and I actually did it the correct way this time because my cousin showed me how to do it properly. It took no longer than 10 minutes until it hit. I remember I was normally talking to my cousin but I don't remember what I was saying until she asked "what are you talking about?" And that's when it hit me, I knew I was starting to feel high. I told her "I felt like I just woke up from a dream!" And we both laughed at it, I laughed and hit the bed but it wasn't my intention to. I felt like my hands were moving by itself..it was such a weird feeling, I felt like every move my arms made were someone else making them for me and I completely freaked out, I told my cousin to give me something that could calm me down and she simply laughed because she thought I was joking and I told her "no, seriously, get me something to make the feeling go away, please!" And the feeling just kept getting worse and I rushed to the kitchen. I asked her to get me the milk and a cup because my friend told me that milk "helps" the feeling go away. At that moment my vision was very like dark and it looked like I was in a dream, a lucid dream, or if it was a VR game, everything seemed fake, like a fishbowl view. When she gave me the cup and milk I poured the milk on the cup but I didn't feel my hands, I saw them moving but I couldn't feel me moving them and that caused me to freak out even more because I thought I was getting possessed and I threw the milk and the cup and I yelled "I lost touch!" Over and over again and my cousin kept laughing thinking it was a joke. I fell on the ground and I begged my cousin to help me, at this point I felt like I had actually lost control over my body, everything I said was not meant to be said I me and everything I did was not meant to be done either. While I was on the ground I hit the ground over and over again begging my cousin to "wake me up" because I was convinced that I was in a dream and that I was in danger. I yelled at her and that's when her smile faded, she looked worried and quickly lift me up the ground. "Whats wrong?! Are you okay?!" She kept asking me, and I was so scared. I kept saying "no, no, theres something inside of me. Something is controlling me, it's not me." And the only thing she kept saying was "you're okay, it's your imagination. You're hallucinating." BUT I was so convinced that it wasn't, that it was actually real and so I told her "no, it's not. Something is happening to me, I feel like something is controlling me." She grabbed my arm and wrapped it around her neck and she grabbed my waist helping me get to her room but I refused to get in because I felt that something was pulling me out of her room, this force, maybe it really was my mind tricking me and I'm sure it as well was but my anxiety grew worse and the feeling felt more horrible. She asked me to sleep and I shook my head "no I don't want to sleep, I feel like something bad will happen to me if I do" she tried to re assure me and she told me that she would get me water as long as I stayed inside her room. I told her I needed to go with her because something was there with me and I was terrified of being left alone and it getting worse, I pulled her arm and begged her to let me go with her to the kitchen. She refused and told me to stay in her room, she left for a few minutes and I was trying to calm down, I realized it was real life and my vision wasn't so fish eye like, but I still felt like I was completely detached from my body. I felt that I was floating and my hands did the movements by themselves, my cousin handed me the water and I drank a good 6 cups o lf water and took deep breathes and tried convincing myself that it was all in my mind. I suddenly felt cold and I couldn't stop shivering but after a while I felt better, my mind kept trying to trick me into thinking that everything was a dream and trying to send me back into "alert mode" but making it believe it was my imagination helped me feel better. I went home wanting to sleep, sure that if I slept it off it would go away, because with my brothers dispo it went away the next day. I slept and woke up the next morning, I felt perfect, I was 100% that I was back to my normal self. 2 hours passed by and it's when it all hit again, I was cooking breakfast and when I grabbed the oil I felt like my hands were moving by themselves again. I tried ignoring the feeling and when I walked I felt like I'd gall asleep for a couple seconds until realization would hit again and I'd realize I was awake and not dreaming. That kept going on for the whole day and I was in school too which made it harder. It never went away no matter how much I tried sleeping it off, I started researching about it to find an answer to my situation, because even if my cousin told me it was a normal feeling when getting high, I was convinced that it wasn't because it wouldn't last weeks. Some weeks later, I told her that I still felt weird and she told me I was just crazy and paranoid. On Wednesday of this week, it felt worse than ever, I felt like the feeling of the attack when I got it would appear again, I felt it and I was sure I'd get it. I was also in school, I tried talking to my mother about the feeling, I didn't tell her I had smoked because she's always had a clean image of me and this would make her lose trust in me. I tried talking about the feeling, I told her I felt detached from myself, lost, I felt like when I was in a place I was physically there but not mentally, everything seemed like it was a dream and I felt like at some points something was controlling my moves, she completely ignored me. I tried bringing up the topic at least 3 more times that day and she told me I was going insane. I've been wanting to talk to someone about this but I'm scared that they'd think I need mental help which is exactly why I'm putting this here because I learned from these past videos that I am not alone in this situation and I'm more relieved that other people have and are experiencing this too because it makes me feel not alone. Sometimes I feel like giving up, I feel hopeless and I feel like I've completely ruined my life, I feel like I won't feel normal again but I know it's going to be okay at the end, if there's something I've learned is that it's a temporary thing and it won't last forever once you learn how to manage it which is something I'm working on. Stay safe everyone, you got this!
Hey man i‘ve red your whole story, first of all I think that wht happened to you is lets say quite „normal“ for some people a little bit of smoking has a consciousness altering effect. Consciousness can have many perspectives and forms. You‘ve had a panick attack because you were not used to have this type of altered consciousnes which is normal, cuz You always percieved yourself in the same way. I think that you are in the brink of awakening, I suggest you watch some Eckhart Tolle Here on youtube he‘s very helpfull. Also you should accept everything that comes to you and turn it around into something positive! Human experience is fun stay safe baby❤
Trust me your good, the first time I got high I did a bunch of edibles, I was extremely sick, and under weight and I had no food that day so Yk the eddibles hit like crazy. I actually ended up in a mental hospital and stayed there for 2 weeks 😂 I got out and still didn't feel normal, after a couple months I told my self that I was just being a bitch so I tried smoking again, and at first I did get scared that I was gonna loose my mind again and try killing my self, or go back into phsycosis but I didn't. If ima be honest you just gotta not be scared, I mean you taking drugs what do you expect
I had the same tripp on delta 8 never again I will do that seems like life stages I thought something was goin to happen to me bad didn't feel like I was awake bad experience
@@diegopartida1528 Be careful with falling into psychosis, dpdr is completely different. Dpdr is a mostly a break from reality, while psychosis is out of touch with reality. Plus you have a higher risk of developing psychotic disorders ( Bipolar/Schizotypal/Schizoprenia) etc.. if you keep falling into weed induced psychosis. It's not about being a bitch or not, its just the effect weed has on some people.
Two of the best things you can do to feel grounded (1) is step outside in some grass/dirt with your bare feet everyday for a few minutes, not only it’s healing but you will feel more connected with your body (2) incorporating magnesium into your lifestyle, either taking magnesium pills/epsom salt bath. Hope that helps, oh and sometimes learn to just surrender to the moment if you fight it the more you conflict and spiral
I’m gonna be very honest here. If you have gone into a panic/anxiety attack from smoking weed then those days are over. it does damage your mind permanently. Your brain is essentially cooked. You go into a panic attack because your brain literally cannot handle it anymore so your mind gives you the panic attacks as a last resort to make you stop. So even if you somehow overcome the panic attack you will only be damaging your brain more. It sucks it really does. It’s not your guys fault that they altered and strengthened the thc so much that it’s just not a normal drug anymore. THC a decade ago was a lot safer and more manageable. Back then the only thing you had to fear was getting nonsense and it turning out to be spice. But anyways. There is no “cure” there is no way to ever get that same experience you did.
Yeah i felt my brain was damaged after smoked and ate edibles. Scary feeling
I've recently gotten back into smoking weed again after abstaining because of derealization/depersonalization. Educated myself on what was happening over the years, and missed the positive of weed so much that I tried again. I had a panic attack about 2 weeks ago, but I FINALLY learned that's what the feeling was, and all doubt was gone. Now when it happens, it still sucks, but I feel like I have power over it now that I know what it is. It's the ambiguity that always freaked me out. Honestly what I find works, is getting pissed off at it. Starting to feel creeping paranoia when you're high? Tell it to literally fuck off. Talk to yourself; reassure yourself to not follow the rabbit holes of pardoxes and thought loops. Breathe, remember you're high, and this has happened before, and you're going to be okay. Also music, I cannot express how much music and dancing spits in the face of a panic attack. Dealing with it is essentially playing the "don't think about polar bears" game. The only way to win, is not to play. Ignore that panic and anxiety, and force yourself to have a good time. Eventually you will find you actually ARE. Seriously though, music is like magic.
This comment seriously helped me calm down a lot! I really appreciate the tips ❤❤ I also use to smoke almost everyday and it was fine, until one time i started to panic and felt the derealisation for weeks!! God it’s really scary. I’ve missed the nice relaxing feeling I use to get when I’d smoke so I’ve been trying again recently and all that i’ve gotten is more and more panic attacks. What you said about forcing yourself to enjoy the experience and reminding yourself that you’re just high really really helps. I’ve screenshotted this comment, will be looking back at it in the future 😂😂
Bro that seems like a lot of work to smoke some weed , the other option would be don’t smoke weed anymore
Once you have a really bad panic attack you’ll never smoke again (8 years without getting high ) it took me 2 years to overcome anxiety and panic disorder
Not true, I have clients who went back to smoking their ways once they recovered.
@@byebyepanic i got a question what if i get high with deperzonalisation and a hangover high i feel so bad what would happen if i get high again and feel happy and rest the next day the effects will go away and i might feel normal because the weed is gone could it make me better or worse please answer
@@byebyepanic ill just convince myslef im happy
Did you take meds? I got a panic disorder from a horrible trip. I hate this please help
@@Genisyn you don't need meds really. I promise you It'll wear off after a few weeks if not months. Mine took about 3, but went away quicker after researching and applying said research. Just get a LOT of quality sleep (helps the brain organize chemicals) and exercise (removes cortisol, AKA stress and panic hormones, from the bloodstream)
It will definitely speed up the process.
And don't forget to drink water.
But, if it feels that uncomfortable for you, you can see a doctor, but I don't think it's necessary. You wanna get over this naturally so if it hits again one day, you'll recognize it and know it's not that bad, and that it's just a mental response to a stimulus.
I have borderline PTSD from my experience with marijuana induced panic attacks. I haven't smoked in 4 years and today I got a strong scent of weed and it threw me into a hyper focused and jittery state
Yes me too! I'm glad I'm not the only one someone else that understands it's like a trigger. I can't handle it anymore. I have PTSD, BPD and bipolar
You’re not alone!
@@prettyfacetarot you smoke daily ?
same here. even just smelling second hand weed smoke triggers me
i was heavy fentanyl, heroin, user in my late teens until i decided to get clean and go into methadone treatment about 3yrs ago. i’m 2yrs and 7 months sober now. i was a heavy smoker before i touched dope, i started smoking at 13-17 no issues. not ever once had panic attack. after all the dope and methadone I tried smoking again and i felt like i was going to die. haven’t smoked since. I’m scared that the heavy drugs affected my brain chemistry and no doctors can tell me anything about it because there’s not enough research.
Last time I watched this video I was high and freaking the fuck out.
You describe it all!
I think what happens is people try to fight the feeling. Instead, try to embrace it and tell yourself you love the feelings and hope it never goes away. You become hyper aware and it think this causes panic attacks. I'm not a psychologist though.
Exactly how I was able to come through and be fine, I ended up not trying to fight my intrusive thoughts and anxiety as well with having OCD. It changed my life. I quit weed for about a week bc in my mind I would tell myself that it was only weed and that’s why I’m like this. Then I realized it’s much deeper and that I have actually came upon a anxiety disorder. Now I can smoke and do everything good but I still get some little thoughts like “ am I going to get psychosis” or stuff like that when I get high but it goes away and I have spikes of it. Just remember if something is wrong with you your gonna have to live with it either way so embrace it don’t neglect it and it will grow on you!
@@cayverse4679 Something about getting older your mind gets a lot of noise and you get hyper aware and can't let go as easy. It's probably American lifestyle and the chemicals they put in food.
That’s not the problem. A lot of people don’t know that smoking weed can trigger psychosis, or even schizophrenia if it runs in the family. People 30 and under are at risk
I’ve been smoking for 10+ years the tress nowadays aren’t as pure to much chemicals I started having panic attacks in 2022 and had to stop smoking
I needed to hear this I'm struggling so much with this
I went out with a girl once and we smoked at her place and I started having these panic attacks and paranoya for the first time and I thought she gave me some unknown drug for soken bad intention and I was constantly watching her hands cause I thought she was going to stabe me and I was so fearful yet dangerous.. she was so scared but treated me well and she calmed me down, I stay with her the whole night. thought I was gonna die and stay like that forever.
Thank you for an amazing video. I’m at work right now trying to stave off a panic attack and this really helped me :)
Im happy to know that im not alone, man its a scary feeling but i remeber it would never happend
Iv been smoking for 15 years, one day I finished my blunt and had the worst feeling of dread and doom like I was going to die.i compare it to ego death with shrooms.quit smoking and the whole week after every day i had multiple panic attacks now im 3 weeks sober and my dreams are all nightmares and i have constant anxiety.long story short this weed induced panic is ruining my life so i take medication now and go to bed early hoping the next day this will all be gone. Take my advise if you smoke daily like i did SLOW IT DOWN before you end up fucked up in the head like I am
Awe... you poor thing...
I hope you can come back to a peaceful state of mind.
I need to smoke weed because my opioid withdrawals are agony..but the last time I smoked I had to fight with all I had to keep my brain from losing home base..
So I'm scared to smoke again out of fear I might get stuck in a mind realm of terror.
I hope you are ok
Pepper corn balls and lemon wedge definitely help
I have such bad anxiety after doing to many shrooms at once around people I was not comfortable around I literally wanted to die now I live with bad anxiety

I had my first panic attack from hitting a disposable for the first time at work. And that was the worst thing I ever did. And felt like I was outside my body, dizziness and nausea. Then at night I felt like if I went to sleep I would never wake up. I thought I messed up my life from just hitting the disposable one time. I get symptoms sometimes in my left arm like tingling. I just hope I get over this stump.
it will wash out of ur system bro, i took an edible with a chick and got a panic attack. hella embarrassing
i just started having this BS. i used to vape nic and smoke weed and now i cant do either unless i want to face that bs panic attack. out of fucking nowhere

Have you found these videos useful? Have you made any progress?
I was smoking regularly sense the age of 13 im now 16 years old and recently started having extisential dread and a sense of impending doom I feel as though the impending doom is way worse cause it follows u even after the high has gone away it’s enough to make me quit I only smoke once a day but yesterday I had an extreme panic attack so I’m definitely gonna quit I really hope I can re wire my brain I will also say my grandmother has died a few months ago and I experienced trauma from my mothers relashionship
This video and the book I read in this video really helped a lot, I’m a teen and like 6 weeks ago I took edibles that was 1500 MG and i went to my parents and they called paramedics and they said my heart rate was good and that I was just high then I was feeling chest pain these past day and then I started getting panics attacks and I was shaking a lot and a lot of fear thoughts was on my mind and I couldn’t sleep and so this just keep happening and I went to a doctor and they blood tested me and they said I had nothing and that I was okay and so I was so confused about this feeling and then the chest pain kept happening and panics attacks and then I started getting dizzy and felt like nothing is real and I keep feeling dizzy and then I started watching this video and I read the book and it helped a lot I learn so much from it and it really helped, Thank you so much!!
Can you send the pdf to my mail
I'm dealing with this exact same thing right now what can help me this is terrible

1500mg? DAMN i only took like 75g and it gave me the worst panic attack
I have an oximeter. I smoked weed and 5-10 mins later my heart hit 145bpm… when i layed down it went back 90bpm… whenever i would stand up it would go back to 145bpm almost immediately. That was the day i stopped weed all together… fuck that bullshit. Its not even fun anymore… its terrible.
You may not respond but is it possible for you to get a randoma panic attack from weed I smoked weed all summer then all the sudden one day I smoked it felt like I had a heart attack..so I stopped for a week and smoked again instant panic attack even worse then the last caused alot of stomch issues can this happen i have decided to quit all together but it still scares me it just happend all the sudden out of no where
Your videos change peoples lives. I just wanted you to know that
This is a half explanation imo. You talked about the symptoms but skirted around the resolution to promote your book. Some people just Wanna see a 6 minute condensed version so we can get through a recent episode that freaks us out a little bit.
I miss when I used to be able to handle weed. Everything was so fun, but one day I just let my thoughts get the best of me which led to a bad trip. I also had a narcissistic friend who played with my mind while I was high knowing I was vulnerable so that helped. Now I struggle with anxiety and depression. I really think that experience altered my brain chemistry for good. Before weed I had no social anxiety but now I struggle with simple conversation and eye contact. Like I’m literally not the same person it sucks.
It's just anxiety bro... I had same issue and realized there was nothing wrong with me. Just got into the cycle. When you feel confident again you'll be able to smoke again. Just remember weed is not the problem. The effect lasts for a few hours. Anxiety is what makes us feel weird after that.
@@brunoferro5016 what did u do to get rid of your anxiety
@@tezwndrs first you need to understand anxiety is a natural response of a human being. It's activated when there's some kind of danger. Our brain perceives danger even if it's not there. There's the placebo effect and the nocebo effect. The nocebo effect is you telling yourself there's a danger when there's not. It activates your body to a fight or flight response. That comes with a lot of adrenaline being generated in your body. It's stressfull and then you get stuck in it, thinking there's something wrong (and the entire world that comes along - obsessive thoughts, "what if" thoughts and everything else). If you are at this point, you need to #1 - accept anxiety (Shaan's videos shows how), #2 - live with it as if it wasn't there, #3 - learn to identify your thoughts (a great way to deal with this subject is writing your thoughts and then criticize them), #4 - exercise your body (it's the easiest way to throw some dopamine to ur body), #5 - regain confidence - there's literally nothing wrong with you. If you have life subjects like work, family, money, talk to people. If you can look for a therapist. They're professionals, ready to help us see things we're not seeing. #6 - BE PATIENT (it will take a few days operating this way for your nervous system to desensitize).
@@tezwndrs sorry, replied with my other youtube account
How u doing now?
I figured this out on my own, and wish this information was available 15 years ago
What did u do to recover
Iv smoked weed for like 5 years straight, only a couple weeks ago did I have a paranoia episode and a panic attack. My head started producing this ringing noise, after not smoking for a week, I feel normal. But why? I was used to smoking weed, my tolerance was super high, but now, now I get MASSIVE paranoia. Idk, I’m withdrawing, feeling like I’m missing a part of myself, like I’m missing out on the fun times.
I had all of this when I was 14 and it felt like a dream. The next day the filling never went away. I'm 38 and I've been on meds for it for a long time now. It sucks
Do your arms feel weird? The reason I ask 18 years ago I smoked weed and vest was I can explain is everything felt weird. My left arm felt like it was in my right arm. Hard to explain I’ve been seeking answers for a long time
when i smoke sometimes, more often than not, things start slowing down and speeding up and my mind instantly tell me i’m not breathing properly so sometimes i can even hell if my hearts beating too fast or not.. or i fear my teeth will fall out when i eat bc my mouth goes numb… it’s weird any advice?
Same ive had that sense i started one time it felt weird when i was sitting like so numb my brain tricked me into feeling other things and making me more stuck
Only now have I figured that I been getting panic attacks when it comes to hitting the gas Looks like it hits back in self defence.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you smoke to much your CBD THC receptors or whatever will cause panic attacks also high THC strains will do that aswell. High THC is overated take breaks take a t break if you smoke daily that's not good ever since I started this ritual my panic attacks on bud are less I don't get em anymore and when I start to feel it in my head I take a week break etc take t breaks smoke low THC strains not high. High THC strains are overrated there just a price gimmick so u can buy the best and priciest if you take t breaks you'll get stoned off 18 15 even 10 to 5 percent THC on god. But make sure you got them cbds in there aswell cus it's nice to have that in there
I haven't smoked weed in 3 or 4 months, after smoking non-stop every day for decades. I was just going through my yt watchlist and saw this on there; I'd saved it after having yet another intense panic episode while stoned. Seeing it again in my watchlist made me realise that I've not had any overwhelming panic episodes since stopping, still have regular anxiety but nothing as intense as it used to be.
I didn't enjoy smoking weed, but I felt that it was the only thing stopping me from falling into depression, as everytime I'd quit in the past, I immediately fell into depression. Smoking weed also made me feel borderline psychotic at times, I'd get paranoid that neighbours were in my attic watching me or some mad shit like that.
All these people selling the idea that weed doesn't cause any mental health issues are complete liars; in my case, weed was exasperating all my pre-existing mental health issues.
Feel better without it, hopefully I don't fall back into it.
Bro I feel you 100%, but you been smoking for decades, if weed did cause mental issues we would all be gone completely mad by this point. What can happen is make something that was already there worse. Weed makes us really focus on our thoughts and sometimes all we want is to not focus on them. What sucks is that once u get 1 panic attack the fear of getting another one triggers the panic every time you smoke.
If u don’t really miss weed don’t go back on it. But don’t start to avoid all the possible triggers for anxiety cause that only feeds the anxiety loop
Weed was kick starter of my panic attacks I regret that day.
This only started happening to me after the pandemic started, I think it thru me into a panic in general because I didn’t know what was going to happen to the world. My body started rejecting me smoking weed and my heart would just pump like crazy, I’d shake and tremble. After I stopped smoking I would have them too, my chest would squeeze and it was just an all around bad experience. After not smoking for almost a year I started to toke a little lately or take a shotgun hit from my bf. Unfortunately last night I was so uncomfortably high that it made me panic. I had to have someone stay with me because I was too scared to sleep alone.
How are you now?
Yea the pandemic really changed the atmosphere which I think has a mental load on the mind
Same with me..my panic attacks started while i was smoking weed and talking about the pandemic...just when global lockdowns started....wish i can go back to smoking again but the attacks are just too scary.
I don't think people realize that the pandemic was a societal trauma. The fear of dying from an invisible enemy was real. Many people lost family members, and we didn't know what was going to happen. Our society is structured to distract us from harsh realities, so when something as real as the pandemic occurred, our minds and bodies couldn't handle the rawness of it. Some of our ancestors faced the threat of nature and dying on a daily basis, enduring dark nights with predators lurking around every corner. There are even wars going on every day. We are not raised to be ready for the harshness of nature or mortality and how it can shift our society and civilization in an instant. To protect us, our minds can dissociate from the realness of mortality.
Nonetheless, all of this helped strengthen my spiritual awareness and desire for a higher purpose in life. For me, Jesus was the way. I believe the universe was created for and by Jesus. Not that I needed it my cannabis induced panic attack, but my body's reaction to cannabis showed me that I needed grounding in this crazy world. Jesus is grounding to me. Nonetheless, I want to be mindful that everyone has different beliefs. Jesus is just works for me. I don't think plants or nature are anti-Jesus either; I believe everything in nature has a part of the story to reveal and something to show us. God bless anyone who reads this.
No, but you did mess up your spelling in the thumbnail
I’m so glad I found this video. I took an edible the other day for the first time, but I took too much and it sent me into a panic. I thought I was dying and being pulled between 2 worlds, life and death. The last 2 days, I’m still asking myself, “am I alive or is this a dream?” 😔😔
I had the exact same experience..it was horrible and frightening..never again
and how are you now?
Went through the exact same thing.Developed anxiety and panic attacks but panic attacks have since subsided(it happened in May this year)now i’m dealing with dpdr and i was agoraphobic at some point.I haven’t felt okay ever since and i really want to go back to my old self
that same thing happened to me last night and i went crazy, It was my first time taking a edible but i also smoked some weed and even drank vodka and this was my first time doing all of this and i went completley bonkers and super paranoid. Even this morning ive been a bit like that and i dont know everything feels so fake and scary lol
@@MisaStankovic I am doing better, back to myself!
One time after taking a hit from my bong, i had a sense of impending doom like 15 minutes later. My color was ghost white and my heart-rate was over 140bpm. I could barely feel my limbs and time stood still. This weed-induced panic attack messed me up for like 6 months straight, which made me stop. THC is definitely not for me, at least anymore
I was a very heavy smoker, basically 7 years straight with bugger all days missed, yet 2 weeks ago I slipped into having full blown panic attacks after every smoke & couldn't wrap my head around why, I still can't, I don't have the money for therapy to find out but my theories are: in the past 5 months I'd started drinking a fair bit more than I ever had, borderline every night which I know can contribute anxiety. my other theory is I have a late onset panic disorder/GAD & the weed finally brought it to the surface, in a way I consider it a positive as I'm now 2 weeks off weed & it took away in my opinion the worst part of weed withdrawals which is the psychological part, it's a very strange & unique problem & the Australian weed culture isn't very understanding of it at all, they all just think I became a pussy lmao smh
Tried Chocolate with THC for few weeks and almost lose my mind. That shit is not for everyone don't do it guys. Not worth messing your mind just because some B's.
Hahaha I thought for like a year I had ruined my brain with spice, and weed. I only smoked spice once and it was trippy, but first time trying actual bud was insane and even trippier. Had constant derealization for nearly a year. I kept trying weed and having panic attacks, but eventually realized I wasn't actually altering, and ruining my brain.
How can making weed 1,000 times stronger possibly be harmful? lol imagine Tabacco 1,000 times stronger, or drinking nothing but moonshine. We gotta know when to say no and when to say yes to our health.
Not hard-------
..you DON'T NEED TO SMOKE POT
ITS NOT A LIFE NECESSITY
Shaan 🤦🏻♀️. You know to much 👀 …….thanks for your help my boi…..it the weed⚰️
I've always smoke and nothing never happened like 3 weeks ago and I smoke my head started to hurt me and I had a panic attack where I started to overthink bro I thought I was going crazy even after a couple days I didn't felt like my self even bro always in my head I think I mess up my brain can someone help me please?
I feel you Elesia, I'm feeling the same thing. Just have to quit if it's weed and wait it out until you pass about 4 weeks without it.
So glad I’m not alone… none of us are ❤
I'm on 15mg of escitalopram
took a space cake weed brownie thing while i was in Amsterdam. My last day in the country..
HOLY SHIT
I eat the whole brownie... I shouldn't have done that and i feel so stupid for doing it.
About and hour later i felt really chilled and in good humour.
Me and my traveling partner went to a supermarket and by the time we went to check out i was crouching holding onto the check out machine saying "why is this happening to me!?" I was really freaking out, it was like i was loosing control of myself.
I was panicing like crazy! heart racing! sweating, shivering! My travel partner took me outside next to a basker playing his guitar, we sat nearby and she tried to calm me down. it helped a little.
But the entire event lasted for like 8 hours and it was so strange. I felt as though time was 5x slower, and everything was taking so long! id suddenly think "wait.. didnt we do this already!? are we still here!! its only been 5 minutes but it feels like 30"
It was horrible! I kept feeling paranoid and i felt like i kept seeing the same people, as we walked around the town.
Even now two days later i feel a bit strange, alot better mind you but still strange.
I am sure if i had half the brownie or a qauter i would have enjoyed it! but the whole brownie plus my SSRI medication IS A REALLY BAD COMBO!!
I am sure other ppl could have enjoyed the trip, but im not that type.
Another issue was that i was traveling to my home country
had i been in a hotel room, with nothing to do, im sure id still have a panic attack. but at least i could lay down and try to relax, and if i fall asleep that would solve the issue.
nice vid you mostly described what i was going thru. im 16 and yesterday i smoked a really fat blunt with a friend. i took way too many hits and after i while i was kind of losing my grip on reality. normally when i feel that things are not going right i try to ground myself in reality, which i was unable to, so i just kept on trying to ground myself in reality and assess the situation which indeed made me go into an endless cycle and i had a panic attack. my legs started shaking heavily and my heartrate increases dramatically. we went back to my friends house and i layed on the couch for a while, trying to not lose that last little grip on reality i had left. i was convinced that i was going to die or that i was gonna go crazy and everytime i tried to disprove this by making an excuse i immediately realized what i was doing. like i just went "oh but now youre just making excuses". so for a good 2 hours i was just thinking thought after thought, disproving each previous thought. i was running circles in my mind trying to escape my own thoughts. i felt like all i needed at that point was closure and confidence that nothing bad was going to happen to me. so i just asked my friends if i was gonna be okay over and over again. and eventually when 1 friend said that you cant die from marijuana, i felt better and kind of escaped the cycle, after which i was just very exhausted. It was a bad experience and i doubt ill ever do weed again. i didnt even gain anything from it since i still have the same bad thoughts about myself as i had before the trip.
Hey dude , you’re not alone . I’m 15 and I’ve never openly admitted this to anyone like this but about two months ago I had the worst experience of my life I think having a bad trip . I took way too many edibles (they were melted together so I consumed probably around 5 or 6.. yikes.) and for about two days I was having what felt like a forever panic attack . I was still able to tell myself that it’s because I’m high and everything is okay , so I was able to calm down just enough to fall asleep in my room . I can’t imagine what would’ve happened to me if I was alone , I seriously don’t know how I would’ve survived that . It was genuinely terrifying , not jump scare terrifying but more of a I have no control over my senses type of scare . Which I’m sure you know is way worse .
These days I suffer from very frequent panic attacks and general anxiety in my life , it’s so hard not being able to talk to my parents or a doctor about it because I know it’s not something that I should ever be doing and the fact that I ever even touched the substance is one of my biggest regrets . Just like you , I gained absolutely nothing from that experience but learning what it’s like to go through something like that . I get derealization and light sensitivity when I get anxious , but every time I start panicking I associate it with how scared I was that night and I start to think I’m high all over again . I think it’s safe to say that my experience with something like this really had a lasting effect on me .
In the end , all we can do is wait . Going to therapy or getting prescribed medication can be a huge help in the road to learning how to manage things like this . I often find myself automatically doing deep breathing in my regular day to day and it’s because I’ve programmed myself to breathe deep to avoid panic . I honestly hardly ever feel “normal” these days , I’m either full panic or just less panic . It’ll take a lot of time and experience and practice to work through something as traumatizing as this , but one way I tend to help myself feel better about it is reminding myself of what I am in control over . I can control my breathing and the way I respond to my eyes being dry, red, watery or low . I can control my physical movements , and when I remember those facts then I remember that I can control how I feel .
Sometimes , we make stupid decisions . Especially as teenagers who have such easy access to substances such as weed , it’s hard sometimes to remember that it’s not fun to do drugs and it’s not something to brag about like it’s cool . It almost feels like “it’s right there , might as well” .
Just breathe , very very deeply . It might make you feel tingly or “high” , but remind yourself that you are sober and healthy . It’s honestly normal for these experiences to happen due to substance . That’s what life is all about , learning and growing from that . Sometimes it feels like it truly will never end , but I promise with time and a lot of practice , you will overcome this .
Be blessed , I hope you are well today . 🙏🏽
Same ESACT thing happened to me but i was at school… thought i was gonna die in the nurses office
Same here. My heartbeat went crazy fast. I thought I was gonna die. Good thing is my friend is with me and remind me how to breathe. That was a journey. I still feel a bit scared even now.
Sounds like bad trip not panic attack.its very normal for your first times, it will go away eventually just when you smoke again take small hits and just chill, you dont have to smoke it all in a hurry
@@eliandabilities I have had almost those exact same thinh happen to me. I had too much once and starting shaking uncontrollably. Everything became unbearably loud and my vision was shaking violently. it felt like i had a million burning needles in my eyes. Ever since then I've had tinnitus and have associated panic with that experience.
I used to smoke weed every single day literally, backwoods only. I had my first panic attack about 3 weeks ago and thought it was laced, i still think it was. But I genuinely thought I was done . I rolled up the same weed and had the same panic attack . I jumped out my car , parked at a random location and literally walked home. I was tripping. I started clutching my glock in BROAD DAYLIGHT and grabbing my id to keep with me in case i died someone can identify me. I hated that feeling and woke up the next day slightly still feeling it. Im not sure if it was laced or a panic attack. What do yall think?
Possible laced but the weed these days no good just stop smoking it
I smoked a bowl this morning as I always have for a few years, then started having bad thoughts that made me feel bad then physical symptoms started coming on and then the panic kicked in and I started to feel scared I tried to calm myself down and then I lost it felt dizzy,confused,shaking , literally thought I might be dying It lasted for about an hour and Ive felt tired all day after that. I dont want to smoke anymore because of it I have been wanting to stop and felt guilty because I haven’t idk If this just a sign to prove I need to quit.
does getting high after that panic attack feel weird foru?
@@MrSuperalan99 I actually quit smoking. I don’t want to experience that feeling again I feel like smoking may trigger it again and tbh its not worth it even though Ive been a daily stoner for years, an experience like that makes you reconsider if its even worth the risk of having an attack. At least thats how I feel. Crazy part is Ive tried to stop before and always told myself I didn’t have to now I don’t even want to smoke at all.
Actually everyday I was taking some high dose and I don't go much high and even it couldn't last more than 30 minutes.I smoking weed nonstop since 6 months and same green stuff. recently i took very small hit (small dose) and I i don't know why I was going so high and that last more than 2 hour's and my anxiety levels were very high during high and at the same time my hands and legs were shaking 😢. Then I stopped smoking weed for few days and I started again still i am going high with very small dose and it last's more than 2 hours.😢 I can't enjoying the feel and my anxiety levels are high while I was high. I don't know how to solve this problem because I love weed but that is giving me fu*king high which I can't bear😢. I can't live without weed but If I smoke weed definitely I am going to die while I am high 😢😢😢
Hey Shaan ! Dude .I know u won't see this but Thank you.. thank you so much I've been struggling with this for years I just finished your book and I already know what I have to do it isn't goin to be easy but I appreciate everything and every word of it ! You are a godsend I would love to speak personally on this Matter but for now I will allow these techniques of yours take control and I know that I will be set free one day thanks again man!!!!!!
I see you 👀 Thank you for the kind words :)
It once happened to me. I felt like God left me after smoking weed- it was horrible, I almost peed my pants. I ran away, didn't sleep at home that night, I walked around my town the whole night. After that I couldn't sleep, I would only sleep 5 minute and think I slept 2 hours or more- one time I couldn't sleep for 4 days consecutively, I would watch my family go sleep and wake up the following morning- 4 days consecutively I couldn't sleep... plus I heard voices in my head- my hearing was amplified as if I was disconnected from my body. All of this lasted for about 2 months. I almost committed suicide at some point. Weed is not for everyone😣😊✌
I think what I'm experiencing is this 💯 I get the worst sinking feeling in my stomach and short of breath walls are closing in and I feel like I'm fainting or going to loose consciousness. I sometimes poor sweat and get super thirsty for some reason even though I drink tons of water every day religiously
THIS could sound I'm whinnig, I have been going through a touxh time with myself, I don't exactly have panic attacks but there's this feeling which is staying, depersonalization. I feel it in general and it intensifies when I smoke. However, most of my anxiety is due to me ending up wasting the last 2 years of my life facing academic and financial failures, that sense of guilt stays and knowing that I am a highly potential person, it doesn't let me improve in life. Maybe the anxiety induces my depersonalization because I don't feel like I am the person I think I am and aspire to be. Sounds cranky but sometimes when I think about it feels like there's another person inside of my head. It doesn't happen that often but only when I go through something upsetting. Marijuana does amplify this feeling when I'm alone with my thoughts but then I think it's because I still have just started fixing my life after everlasting hopelessness and procrastination. Maybe when I actually starting achieving what I want in life this feeling will automatically go awa and, when I'm confident enough with my actual self. In the past, I looped into getting motivating and then losing it and doing nothing, and this loop had a negative effect on my psyche and personal self. At some times, all of this just makes me pretend like I'm a smart and intelligent individual while I myself feel like I'm not progressing. That concludes my situation, many many months of abusing the meaning of my life has brought me to this stage, feeling depersonalization which is horrible tbh. I hope I get better soon and know how to streamline myself.
