Can Weed Cause Anxiety?

up till 2 years ago iv never had a anxiety attack at all.and i was smoking more less most of the week.then one night i got a massive anxiety attack when i was out..and have been getting them randomly enough when im out..or even sometimes in my room before i go to sleep..i stopped smoking and lord behold i stopped getting the attacks..is this possible since weed is ment to cure anxiety?

yes weed causes anxiety

it works different for everyone yes it can and it can also help it.... all depends on your noodle my friend

You should prob figure out what is stressing you out in life. Fix that and your good to roll.

....or maybe discuss this with your primary physician.

wow, well, i get very paranoid when i smoke, so i only use medibles now. grab about an OZ per stick of butter, make yourself some cookies, and chill. no more attacks i'll bet. smoking didnt cause me any problems for the first 12 yrs. then, all of a sudden, BAM, i was paranoid like a crack head when i smoked weed. nothing like that with medibles.

i wonder if it does that where its legal. (meaning completely legal and free of prejudism as well)

It is a medicine/drug. I like to use these examples when explaining this subject. Alcohol makes one guy the friendliest, fun loving person in the world. Then we all know a guy who Alcohol turns into a monster. Adderal is supposed to help with ADD you have people who take it and can focus, and then there's people who take it for it's speed like effects. Marijuana is the same way, it's not for everyone. I have seen it make people throw up, and have very scary panic attacks.

thanks for the reply guys.mm guess thats that mystery solved hahah.but i was smoking for over four years and never got attacks.shame though,i realy enjoyed lighting up and relaxing to some choons.but it rather not have fucked up freak outs anymore =)

you could say it'll cause anxiety or cure it.. depend's on what you're smokin, where you're smokin, and who you're smokin with... and of course YOU!!! if you feel anxious every once in a while.. well, be glad you're a human that is alive!!! lol, everyone feels different things.. but all in all, if you're comfortable and smokin some good organic medicine, you should be good bro....

Dunno but lately with my Super Lemon I get paranoid and get anxity. I think the titanium rod and screws are coming out of my leg form my accident its pretty trippy.. I like focus on one thing and make it so much worse then it is.. crazy times.

damn homey, take care of that.. and don't trip.. you need to be eating some good sweet potatoes walnuts and greens bro.. i'd be drinkin on some organic whole milk too if i was you.. and yes smoke, i'd even make some edibles to ease the pain, and you sleep better too... but man, you gotta find something you can do thats interesting and keeps your attention off your leg, let it heal, and try to laugh as much as possibe, sounds weird maybe, but it works.. stay focused bro..

another thought: maybe get some heavy indicas instead, they usually dope you up or whatever instead of turn your head into a light speed thought processor..

i like grand daddy purple.. some would say its played out whatever, i don't get it, its some good heavy indica, with a great taste

I have a theory about anxiety and pot. It has to do with some of the physical sensations related to getting high: rapid heart beat, sudden pangs in the stomach (eventually leading to munchies), and a bit of vertigo. Usually when you experience those in combination, it is because you are experiencing anxiety. So, when you have the sensations, your head tells you, "There must be something wrong!" (think Pavlov) When you can't immediately figure out what's wrong, your mind panics a bit and you can get paranoid.

I still sometimes have to battle anxiety when high. One thing that works for me is to exercise a bit (bike, jog, whatever). That way, my brain associates my rapid heart beat, etc. with the exercise, and I find I relax-- a lot. Give it a shot.

I get a little when i run out, after about a day i am straight.

Bro I suffered severe panic/anxiety attack numerous times about 2 and a half years ago. I smoked every day for years and then i went on a trip to jersey and it was snowing something i had never experienced lol well any ways i didnt smoke for 10 days. Also i really wasnt able to eat much during these days as well as sleep. It really sucked. Then on the drive back my i broke down thought i was having a heart attack got a bag and was hyperventalating. Stopped at a gas station and they thought i looked so bad that they called 911. All i am saying is i have reverse affects to what it seems you are having.. But the main thing with panic/anxiety is to always remember it is all in your head and you will be the only one that could ever fix it

For sure it does to some. I was with a guy buggin out to the point I had to ziptie him
