How to help bad trips on marijuana?

So i have taken a 7 month break from marijuana because the last 2 times i smoked scared me away from a beautiful herb. My heart would start pounding, i would end up freaking out, the second time i got a pressure in my chest. I thought i was going to have a heart attack. But looking back i think it was just anxiety from an increased heart rate or something. I want to know how i can help this? i plan to take .5 or 1mg xannax, and only taking 1 or 2 tokes.
Would it be better to smoke regs, mids, high quality to start with?

I think you'd be best off just taking like, half a hit. Toddler hits.
I stopped smoking herb habitually a year or two back, just got tired of it. I'd still hang out with my buddies who smoked some ridiculous shit, and take a hit. The point was I had to like, take little baby hits and wait twenty minutes before even thinking about taking another, or it'd put me on my ass, couchlockville.
I don't think adding more drugs to the situation is going to help.

get high then take a shower and meditate. I have to have been drinking in order to get high anymore. It kind of sucks but the anxiety or whatever just makes it more trouble than it's worth. That and the weed around me is pure shit.

Why did you give it up? and do you smoke now, stil only baby hits? i think i will take very minuscule hits from a joint. the xannax it just for the pre-smoke anxiety i will produce myself from the excitement of taking that first hit.

it's all upstairs, man.
you said you felt pressure on your chest, which led to you thinking you were having a heart attack.... has anyone ever had a heart attack from smoking weed? you were high, you felt something strange, and your high brain took you to an illogical place.
Just relax, nothing bad can happen from smoking herb

it was actually the increased heart rate that made me think that, and then the pressure in my chest. It all went away after about 15-20 minutes if even that long. But post

I've had this happen. Sativa's seems to have less anxiety for me. I also notice the difference when vaping vs smoking, smoking seems to be directly related to the anxiety. Maybe edibles are a viable option? Or you have some kind of mild allergy to something in marijuana. The purer the THC the less anxiety I get(unless I smoke alot). Know your limit, clear your mind and take it easy.

Maybe you should just not smoke it?
If you want to persist I suggest getting a strain with a high CBD content and low THC content as the THC is known to exasperate anxiety and paranoia especially in people prone to it. Also use a vapouriser and take several smaller doses. Instead of one big puff.
Fuck taking benzos. You really want to take a highly addictive pharmecutical just so you can smoke pot? Its not worth it... I know so many people who have life long side effects from benzo abuse that have persisted even long after stopping use. They don't even act that great at removing anxiety - their effects are around the same level as a placebo.

I would suggest getting the best weed you can (for some reason I think its better for you than shitty stuff, go figure)
I would use a pipe. Take 1 hit, do not hold it in more than 2 seconds, wait a few minutes.
Repeat until you reach your sweet spot.
If you go over and get anxious, distract yourself, it'll last for 30 minutes max.

I'm the only person I know thy can't smoke weed because it gives me such bad vibes. I used to be able to smoke more blunts than I can remember but now I can't even take a hit cuz I just don't enjoy it at all.
It's definitely all in your head, as with any anxiety. Iv taken benzos before smoking and obviously this helps a whole lot. I used to take my ambien and smoke a bowl because I found it stopped the negative effects I got. Now I just don't bother.
I definitely still enjoy edibles though. I can eat plenty of butter/brownies or whatever and be just fine. I suggest trying to cook with your herb.

It doesn't make sense to me either. I think for me atleast, edibles are less psychedelic and more of a body high.

I haven't tried hash since I started having a bad reaction to herb but I don't see why it would be less psychedelic. I'll give it a try though.

Hash is definitely less intense and more relaxing than really heady weed highs. People who get anxiety usually get it worse when using vapes or eating, just because you get so damn high.
A shower can help calm you down. It is really all in the breathing. When your heart starts beating quick just get up and pace around your place while controlling your breathing in a calm way. You'll snap out of it. I usually only get anxious if I haven't smoked in awhile.
