Yeah honestly i read another thread of yours. Really dude trust us, Its just weed. Weed is truely amazing but i think your expecting a little to much haha. Just take it slow and don't over do it.
Haha ok man i will. Im just one of those people that over research things when they think its a huge decision. But im not a nervous nilly. I think that its best for me to go into this knowing alot and not a little.

If go into it thinking you will have a panic attack, that more than the smoking would prob be the cause of having a panic attack (if you even have one).
I dont think i'll have one. We are just gonna watch funny movies the whole time for my first couple of times. That way I get used to it

i been smoking 6 years straight everyday i cant go a day with out weed or i start to feel very angry. i find the best way to smoke and not whitey would be to eat 3 times a day before a sesh u need to keep your suger levels up, in amsterdam if you whitey they give you a spoonful of honey. so first thing u need to remember is if you are whiteying keep your suger level up and drink lots eating or drinking helps or a shower try to think straight dont think bad thoughts it will only make it worse. i have had some of the worst whiteys when i started out
1 that had me go blind for about 10mins i had that much of a headspin or you get the fast heartbeat type of whitey where u can hear your heart in your head they are the worst every time u shut your eyes the room spins. i aint had a whitey in years all i get now is panic attacks which is a hell of alot worse everyone that smokes would suffer paranoia i have it bad from the effects i have been to hospital from big panics almost similar to heart attack but you learn to control after awhile
yes your correct a potent sativa isnt my choice of smoke kind of like an lsd high that you cant handle stick with the indica keeps you sleepy you dont want an adrenaline rush that sativas like speed thats how u end up with panic attacks
yo dude even if u was to have a panic attack it would last upto an hour most whiteys will last till the high wheres off just go easy at first i went overboard try not to get hooked like me and you should be right
a panic attack will show if you become like me a pothead if you find you cant go a day with out it you will meet a panic attack sooner or later in life it will catch up with you its the marijuana in your body that causes panic worry nerves gitters shakes forgetfulness etc

OK, I'm going to offer my 2 cents as well since I consider myself very well researched in this area and feel I can probably be of some help. As for my background, I've been smoking fairly heavily for the past 10 years or so with the past 5-6 yrs being very heavy use (just about everyday). I started getting panic attacks about 2.5 yrs ago and I'm almost certain it is due to my mj use. At first they were subtle "weird" feelings that I would get at times after smoking a lot at once, gradually increasing in intensity until they were intolerable sessions of feeling detached, having a fear of fainting/dying, and feeling as though I were having a heart attack. I even ended up in the ER once while having a very heavy attack, but this was before I knew what was going on. At that time I still thought that something physical was going on. However, after much research and discussing, I learned that these were actual panic attacks via anxiety disorder.
The #1 thing to know is that panic attacks are just sensations (fear, paranoia, chest/head pain, etc) and nothing more. Your body is actually creating these sensations chemically, with the problem being that there is no actual real trigger or reasoning for these feelings. For example, if you were actually being chased by an attacker your body would produce a lot of adrenaline, restlessness, fear, etc while you were running. These emotions are there to aid you, in this case helping you to realize danger and flee. For someone experiencing a panic attack, your body is producing these same sensations but without a rational trigger. In other words, for some reason your body is incorrectly producing sensations as a response to an irrational stress trigger i.e. marijuana, getting angry, etc. That's all it is, a feeling - you're not in any sort of physical harm. After I knew this I was able to manage these panic attacks. Since my ER visit I've had ones that were much more powerful but was able to deal with it myself. Don't get me wrong, they are still VERY unpleasant to go through but at least you can be comforted in the fact that you're not really having a heart attack or about to die.
Lastly, just some stuff to add: (1) I've noticed that both sativas and indicas cause panic attacks. I think some people here said that you're ok with indicas but I've had really intense attacks after smoking indicas and sativas alike. (2) I've noticed that panic attacks occur when I smoke a lot at once, but not necessarily the number of hits I take. If I take a huge hit and it's a little too much I can tell right away that I will spiral into a panic attack. I would tend to stay away from bigger hits if you want to avoid a panic attack. (3) Like I said before, I'm almost positive that my panic attacks were a result of my weed use. Really think about whether smoking is worth the risk. For me, I can handle them because I know what is going on and can calm myself down (nowadays I'll have an attack about once per week, some strong and some weaker). But I can see how others may not be able to cope with these strange feelings as well. At this point panic attacks won't stop me from smoking but if I could go back 5-6 years I would have probably toned it down a bit so I never even got these in the first place.
Good luck!!!!
