Hey guys I don't know where else to go. Here's the my situation.

I am 20 years old and have been smoking since I was 17. My first two years I smoked alot and had a great time. Always felt relaxed and completely euphoric. However for the last year I have been having problems. When I smoke, even small amounts, I will get this hard to breathe sensation along with a very very spaced out mindset. I get to be very uncomfortable and can't stand to sit. And this is the worst part of all.... for some reason my but region seems to get really numb and I get a sensation as if I have to pass gass or something. I can't tell if I am or not cause I also seem to loose my sense of smell. My stomach also gets upset. Its hard to carry on conversation with friends. From what I have been able to gather from my research... I believe that I am suffering from some sort of anxiety. I believe this because lately I experience the same effects in class or when I am in a place where I feel uncomfortable. I believe that marijuana is not the cause but actually just induces my already present anxiety. Since I had two years of great marijuana use. Does anyone else understand what I am going through? I used to be able to work and socialize (at least at an acceptable level) when high. No longer can I do this. It also seems as if the effects of marijuana last longer. Please if anyone has any input let me know. I know people will say I should just stop using it. But since the bad effects happen outside the use of marijuana also, I believe that It would be possible to continue. I dunno, I know its not addicting to an extent... I know this because of my unbelievable drop in use. I just love the magic herb and what it can do for you. Anyone got any input????

Relax. This is absolutelly normal

It has happened to all of us at one point in our lives. Cut down on the weed alittle bit until u feel fine with the buzzing again.

I would smoke fu*kloads of herb for a few years without any anxiety. But all of a sudden one day it hit me!

I stopped for a couple of years (by choice) and then started smoking from a pipe (one hit at a time) and no freaked out quantities.

I try not to mix weed with alcohol as well.

Relax and try not to think about it really..

yes you need to cut down and take a break even a few months. Peace Seeker is right it happens to everybody! unfortunately i get anxiety when im not smoking.

Sometimes it's the strain of weed you are smoking that can make you feel anxious or perhaps the mood you are in when you get high. If you are feeling guilty about something and you smoke, your guilt can amplify.

I have an anxiety disorder and my doctor told me to lay off the booze. The problem was that when I drank, I also smoked. I gave both of them up for about a month and my anxiety was getting out of hand. I went and scraped some resin out of my pipe and right after I smoked it, I felt so relaxed and at peace. I made a call and a couple of hours later I had a half OZ of some good skunky smoke. The sad thing is, I don't really smoke to get high anymore, I use it primarily for those times when my anxiety meds don't do the job and I need something more to ease the anxiety.

Maybe your problems are a product of something that's bothering you.

edit: Sounds like a panic attack. See above.

Sounds less like anxiety and more like smoking weed is effecting your gut...your large intestines it seems...especially since you described feeling gassy and having the "anxiety feeling" you get in class.

Does anything like colitis, diverticulitis, crohns disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) sound familiar as "running in your family"?

The effects of cannabis on the bowels is well documented and is in fact an excellent treatment for the cramping and discomfort caused by these problems when not treated...but the effects you are feeling could be early signs of onset of any of these problems.

Good news they are all highly treatable in the early stages with minor changes in the diet and exercise regimen, increasing fibre and generally being more aware of ones internal gastric health. Not a glamorous subject but hey, we are human and we do poop.

So perhaps seeing a docotor to get something to sooth you tummy and abdomen...perhaps you will need to have a colonospcopy when you are 40 (not to be off topic here but I've had one and though the thought of it is yucky, the IV drugs they gave me were GREAT...okay, MY BAD, I should know better than to discuss off topic drugs, even the legal ones) Other than that, slow down on the smoking until you are feeling better.

Mamabudz, they gave you an IV with a pain killer when you had yours done? They didn't give me a darn thing. Don't you just love military doctors?

Mamabudz

Sounds like you had the "sigmoidoscopy"...done in office without muscle relaxants and pain killers... poor thing!


My doc wanted to be able to remove any polyps for biopsy...

Always go for the out patient in hospital "procedures" -- and bring cookies & candies for the nursing staff! Bribery always helps.

You would not believe what the final outocome was. I had a freakin hernia ! Can you believe that? It was my mother in law who suspected it was a hernia and I asked the doctor why I have not been checked for a hernia and a quick check showed that it was in fact a hernia. I can't believe I had a colonoscopy and it turned out to be a hernia! At least I had some buds waiting for me when I got home after the surgery. In fact, one of the first things I did after I got home from the hospital was fire up a bowl of some schwag, something that would give me a little buzz but not powerful enough to make me cough, that would have been painful.

Hugz right back at ya,
