Obviously you would have to focus and confront what the anxiety is about whether sober or high.

yup, the main reason i don't smoke everyday now.  It just got to where i wasn't enjoying it...at all.  The best thing i did is not smoke any for a long time, probably about 6 months.  And when i came back to it, it wasn't so bad, however, i still don't enjoy it everyday, i start to get down on myself when I smoke too often, which gets me in crazy thoughts and having anxiety.  I smoked daily for probably about 8 years before i ever had this problem.  Now, i smoke probably 5 times a month, and its so much better than when i smoked every single day, its much more psychedelic now, and i get fucking blown from just a single bowl...lol

peace

I smoke pretty often, and the anti-anxiety effects are what I notice most about weed anymore.  I can still function pretty normally, just without constantly worrying about things.

I do.
I just stopped smoking. I'll take a hit now and then but I haven't bought any quite some time.
Sucks that I react negatively but I do so I don't look into it that much.

cannabis is a psychedelic.  people often forget this.  set and setting apply.  when you have negative reactions to it, try changing the set and setting and/or taking a break.  this has happened to me before and it wasn't permanent, i could enjoy smoke again later.

if you really look inward you will find the reason for your fear, which may eliminate it faster.  generally these things work themselves out anyway, but by meditation/introspection you can gain the wisdom to evolve past your problem faster.

and i expect the answer will be to just go about your day without fear :smile::thumbup:

I am taking a break now, partly due to anxiety............

I think it is an effect that many people get from weed after a lot of years.......... I've seen it with some stoner friends- that they develop anxiety.

I can't be high in a sober setting anymore- back when I first started smoknig this was different.

I wish there was a cure to this other than drinking beer or taking xanax :shrug:  anyway it is break time for me.....

seems that weed is best enjoyed solo or with only your closest friends IMO

every once in a while, for some reason, if im REALLY high, and im standing in my kitchen making food, ill get all dizzy and black out for a few seconds. its happened twice, in the past 6 months.

when im anywhere else, i can smoke till im in deep space, and im fine.

my heart rate goes up, and i feel like i need to lie down. if i dont, i just kinda lean over on the counter, and black out for a second or two. then i wake up, and in 5 minutes, im fine.

it never happens when im sober... weird shit.

but yeah, you have some underlying problem(s) that weed brings out.
try a therapist.

I also gotta add like sleepy said- set and setting holds true.......

being around good vibes can really help a high............. and I think smoking too often alone can make you become anti-social to some extent, I get like that when I smoke alone for a few days straight

Been taking a break, one of the best decisions I've made in a while. It's hard not to slip into old habits, but once you cut down drastically it seems to stay that way.

Yeah a break will help. Sometimes I think if you're smoking too much you're always a little high and your brain just unhinges ever so slightly, and then smoking pushes you over the edge.  Sometimes actually when I have a low tolerance I get more anxiety than when I'm way used to smoking, and in that case I like to meditate before I smoke to put myself in a relaxed centered mindset.  If you do that maybe you can rid yourself of any psychological connotation with weed and anxiety.

I get the anxiety sometimes too.  It really bothered me at first but when I realized it was caused by the pot I can now talk myself thru them.  Since I know what's the actual cause of the anxiety (weed) I know there's nothing to be upset about and it passes.

How often do you smoke?

I find that smoking maximum once a week takes away all anxiety.  It's mostly related to abuse IMO.

I think that a lot of the anxiety associated with weed is due to improper breathing while high.

IME my anxiety attacks always happened if I was in a highly stressful situation and my breathing became shallow and short, for an extended period of time. Once the attack started I could get it under control by controlling my breathing.

Try focusing more on your breathing the next time you are high and see if that helps
