Hey, well like some of the other people on this board I get very anxious when I smoke now, not full blown panick attacks usually I just get some symptoms of dp/dr (depersonalizatioin/derealization), I assume this is just the result of anxiety. But, I miss my marijuana. I smoked daily for 5 years, I just loved it. I've tried drinking, opiates, valium etc. in conjunction with marijuana to see if they help with no success. Are there any other options, I was thinking of trying some kava. I just want the "old" high back or at least a semi pleasent experience. I know I might sound stupid but I've been addicted to opiates and slightly to benzos, and I realized basically that marijuana is "god's gift to man", non addicting!!! Is there anyone who had to take a break from maijuana due to panic/anxiety/depersonalization symptoms that found a way to smoke again?!?! Any advice would be helpful. Oh and my life is good right now, I meditate regularly as well as yoga classes, and all the weed is basically the same here in my part of Washington state, so diff strains is not too much of an option for me.
So here's what I;m going to try
1. No coffee
2. Quit smoking ciggarettes(gonna be tough, but it would be well worth it).
3. Try kava

Hey man, I've been/is there.
I used to be a ble to smoke as much as I wanted, now whenever I blaze a spliff wit' potent shit I get totally derealized and fuckedup...
How long does the effects last for you when u get derealized?
Cause normal panic attacks can be eliminated with simple meditation...

Hey man I saw a couple of your threads seems like your in the same boat as I am. Panic attacks aren't so bad, the dp/dr sometimes last until the next day, basically I just fear I;m losing my mind and seem "out of it". Nothing seems to really help but time. So, have you found smoking small amounts to be pleasurable again?

well, listen, i was in the same boat as all of you, to the point where i was posting on this forum as well about the same thing. why cant i get high without going crazy anymore, it sucks. i used to smoke 4 times a day for 2 years blah blah blah, now here is the trick. the trick is to stop for as long as possible, expierence life and do your normal things, it should help. now this is the most importent part. you must ocupy yourself, if you have a job, thats a start, if you goto school thats great. i just started working again since i the summer which between that time is where i started smoking 4 times a day and just sat in my room and smoked all day. and in result to that is where i started freaking out with the anxitey. so i realized it wasnt good for me. so i stopped and got a job and i just started school last week, and now i can smoke just the way i was before with out going nuts, cause i am no longer just pondering things like death, the universe, what people do and think. i have other things on my mind like i got work tormow cool, i got a project to do in school tormow. its all about keeping your mind and brain ocupied with other things.

good luck and i promise you if you take my adivce it should help

it worked for me.......


good luck

thanks for the advice man I'm starting school this tuesday so that should help, well I've prob smoked 4 times in the last 5 months because of this, it's strange all of the dp/dr started during methadone withdrawals(those suck), i think im going to get a part time job considering it's the first time i can pass a piss test in 5 years . Combined with working out that should burn enough time, anyone ever tried kava kava with marijuana?

Yea Ifeelstoned, I 100% agree with you on that...
The hardest part is just, quitting, saying no when your friends pass you the bong, giving a fuck in buying when theres finally some good shit available in your area...
Personally thats my problem, ofcourse I can say no, it's just sometimes I feel good enough and no problem...so I smoke a joint and endup just as fucked up again...
Like tonight, got some real potent shit and now I'm totally out of it, derealized as fuck, had a panic attack 2hours ago and I just smoked 1 fat joint, but it was hardcore potent, but it's 3-4hours ago...
I just hope i'll wake up feelin' good tomorrow =\

Skunk i was reading at erowid, people seem to like the kava kava addition to smoking pot seems to take away the paranoia/anxiety quite a bit, you might want to try it. I'm going to smoke again soon i'll post back to see if it helps, well if i don't go schizo by then

I don't know if it will help but these people found it pleasurable, there's not much info on the site about kava and marijuana, but I found no "bad" reactions, like I found with marijuan+alcohol etc.

Thanks man, for sure I'll try that
