hi hi,

I just have a quick question.

I've been searching the net for about an hour now trying to find some information on why I react the way I do when I smoke.

I have been smoking pot for, God I don't even know, a long friggin time now. It has only been in the past year that I have started smoking it everyday (or almost everyday anyway.) Just recently I have started noticing some brutal changes while I'm high and I am thinking maybe its an allergic reaction.

I'll outline what happens and maybe someone can help me out. I smoke joints for the most part and while I am high I start to experience pains in my chest and head. Sometimes I get really short of breath and my chest feels really heavy. I can feel pains in my spine almost. Sometimes my arms go numb.... Man, it sounds worse than it is I think, but it's still pretty brutal. I love the stuff and I really don't want to quit but I just can't handle it anymore.

I was just wondering if anyone reading this has ever experienced what I am experiencing or knows anyone who has. If so can you post a reply or something. Please. I don't wanna give it up but I don't see any other options.

Thanks a lot!!

I found when i was smoking everyday i suffered really bad chest pains all the time, especially after a sesh. I have cut down now and only smoke about twice a day. (once at about lunch time and once before bed) It has really helped my chest pains, coughing and parania. Is cutting down a possibility?

Another option could be to see a doctor, just be honest and tell him how much u smoke ect... u never know there could be an underlying problem that has nothing to do with dope. Doctors are bound by patient/doctor confidentiality so they can not tell anyone else that u r a pot user.

Hope this helps,

Cassie

Drink a soda or eat some sweets to calm you down. I don't know the exact mechanics about why that works, but it does. Usually eating something is best. A long time ago when I used to roll tulips regularly, alot of people I know suffered from anxiety. Eating something made them feel right at home.

You would almost always know if something were "laced" in your sack (ive never had anything in mine). My worst fear when smoking mexican brick was always some sort of nasty pesticide being in it.

As a therapist, I will let ya in on a secret, people who have panic attacks from marijuana most likely have a predisposition or tendancy towards anxiety in order to have a panic attack. Marijuana itself does not cause panic attacks and is often used by many to relieve anxiety and panic symptoms.




"Cognitive factors, especially the way people interpret or think about stressful events, play a critical role in the etiology of anxiety (Barlow et al., 1996; Thorn et al., 1999). A decisive factor is the individual’s perception, which can intensify or dampen the response. One of the most salient negative cognitions in anxiety is the sense of uncontrollability. It is typified by a state of helplessness due to a perceived inability to predict, control, or obtain desired results (Barlow et al., 1996). Negative cognitions are frequently found in individuals with anxiety (Ingram et al., 1998). Many modern psychological models of anxiety incorporate the role of individual vulnerability, which includes both genetic (Smoller & Tsuang, 1998) and acquired (Coplan et al., 1997) predispositions. There is evidence that women may ruminate more about distressing life events compared with men, suggesting that a cognitive risk factor may predispose them to higher rates of anxiety and depression (Nolen-Hoeksema et al., in press)."

In response to the specific question, the answer is no.
I might add however that I have known people who have experienced so called panic attacks from eating pot baked goods...
