yes!!!! i had one bad trip on weed, and all of the sudden i have depersonalization, and then about a few weeks later i had my first real panic attack and thought i was dying. i smoked weed everyday and it calmed my anxiety, but then all of the sudden it just didn’t anymore and my anxiety escalated.
i don’t know if it was weed that caused it, but i definitely don’t think it’s best when you have anxiety on it. it clicks with some people and others just can’t do it because of anxiety.
don’t be scared of taking meds, fear is what controls you. realize that everything you feel is anxiety and acknowledge it and that it will not harm you. i would suggest staying away from weed until you have fully made a decision. it truly helps some people, and others...makes us crazy.
Yes ! ! ! When you have anxiety sometimes it’s hard to get a custom to smoking marijuana , it’s all a mind thing , although when you smoke you’ll just have to be aware that it’s the weed and not a panic attack .
Have you been through this ? Did u start smoking again x
Yesss I smoked last year for the first time , (PANICKED) tried about three more times , (PANICKED) couldn’t handle it . But I tried again about 4 or 5 months ago again and my best friend told me to just sit down , relax and let your brain be aware that it’s the weed. When you realize , you start to get better and better as time goes on and now it calms my anxiety and btw I’m only 19 lol
I've been smoking for about 4 years now, I found out that today certain strains in high THC could cause me high anxiety, panic attacks and bad trips(had one last Sunday at home and literally thought I was going to DIE with a heart attack) since I developed mild health anxiety. I used to smoke every kind of weed since last year but nowadays I started to be a bit afraid to smoke certain weed lol. Today weed is too much potent. Now I sips some CBD oil before I start smoking because CBD helps prevents THC from causing uncomfortable feelings. I still suspect that it's causing me derealization and brain fog. But in the other hand it's a natural plant with a lot of therapeutic things.
