For those of you with bad reactions to Marijuana were you ever able to smoke again?

I experienced something traumatic immediately after smoking at one point. I don't feel like explaining what it was although it happened recently in the states. I was in a public place and mass panic broke out. I essentially can't be high in a very public place (other than a festival/concert environment), and not experience anxiety. I use to go to out to restaurants stoned, or too the beach. I literally can't do that anymore. I also can't smoke during the day and not get any anxiety. At this point I smoke strictly when the sun is down, and when I know I'm not going to have to go walking around in a public space such as a mall or something. So yea, I can still smoke but it permanently altered the substance for me.

I had many bad experiences. That never stopped me. I just decided I would get good at being high.

Yes, and I love it more than ever.
I'd always have anxiety with weed, the higher I got, the greater it was. Walking around or changing my focus would reduce it, so would drinking, but I was never totally comfortable with the experience.
Over a 3-4 month period, I pretty much vaped every evening, I pushed through the anxiety phases until I was completely comfortable with the weed head space. I'd get higher and higher, until I was pretty much floored.
Now, I love getting stoned. There's nothing as relaxing as taking 3-4 big vape hits, then chilling out in a dark room and listening to music / drifting etc or watching a film and munching down some good food. perhaps a bit anti-social(?) but I pretty much just use on a Fri/Sat now to de-stress from the week.

Define a bad experience... I've been arrested. Does that count? IDK, I often find myself in situations where I'm just outright UNCOMFORTABLE on herb, where I normally wouldn't be sober... like my mind blows some tiny detail and it's all I can think about. Then again, I've been in situations where I woulda been uncomfortable sober, and was blazed, and THAT is no good... haha either way, just gotta remember, it's just herb, no reason to dwell on it. I love to smoke

Only when tripping do I ever smoke. The anxiety I get from weed, and the anxiety it's left me with even after quiting is too much.

Dude, I'd quit. That's what I did (kept doing it even though it sucked ass), until it got worse and worse, and now I wish I quit earlier.

A bad reaction to marijuana is a state of mind. I guess you could say I had a "bad" reaction. I used to love smoking marijuana but shit happened in my life and I started to dwell on it and when I get high I just think about those low points and that is why I don't smoke anymore. I still respect the herb but it was time to move on because I wasn't getting anything from it anymore.

yeah I don't think it is that uncommon of a thing. At least marijuana let's you leave it alone. I feel bad for people who get hooked on e or coke.

I believe if you experience too much paranoia or anxiety on marijuana you just need to chill the fuck out. There's got to be something else in your mind that's really making you so anxious. Deal with it and smoke again whenever you're more grounded
I've felt it all when I'm high, but I've never let it get to me

Yeah but when I smoke I just sit around and create artwork all day. Sober I even have a difficult time thinking about people who fucked me over/people I have fucked over in the past. I would probably smoke again but I won't let it happen unless I quit smoking cigarettes. That is a big reason why I don't smoke bud. Also I use to spend a lot of money on it. I would smoke a ounce in like 5 days.

I also used to spend just about all my money on bud. I miss it but I'm more happy now without it. I'll go back to it sometime when I won't let myself become enthralled by it

I mean it's all free and it's not like i smoke all day every day. Worst case i pass out and wake up sober. I have been staying pretty clean since my last trip though. I may keep it going for a while and see if some of my mental clarity returns. Not that it's an issue, but sometimes i wonder how much sharper my brain was before i smoked. It sucks because it's the only drug i feel comfortable using on a regular basis in regards to health and i do love the sensory enhancement it delivers, but the paranoia sucks. The minor lingering derealization is only sometimes enjoyable, and i feel it leaves me with some lingering visual symptoms. Oddly, when i trip that all goes away and my brain feels reset. Then i smoke weed eventually and it starts slipping again. I haven't figured out 100% if they're related, but i suppose it's worth an experiment

I'm in your boat, so to speak... I never got unbearable anxiety from weed, but I used to get paranoid all the time if we were smoking outside or in the woods somewhere. This mostly happened when I started smoking, but as I persisted I just got more comfortable with the mind space.
I've had many times where I've been smoked out, or ridiculously baked, and it really got rid of a lot of the anxiety for me. My tolerance built up a bit too, so I can function pretty well after smoking a bowl or two.
I love marijuana now! It cures my migraines, my backaches from work, reduces stress, and inspires me in many ways. It also helps me a lot with my trips, and seems to relax me even more when tripping hard.

If weed was still like it was when I first started smoking, life would be so much better. I used to love it so much, but it went to shit so fast, right before my eyes. Fuck. I really hope I'll be able to smoke, anxiety/stress free one day.

I recently started smoking again after quiting for nearly a decade. I quit due to freaking out/paranoia/anxiety etc and this time around as long as I smoke small amounts i dont get the negatives at all. While this sounds good, the reality is, it also isn't all that enjoyable.
Back in the day I remember music would sound amazing, i'd feel great, and id have interesting thoughts. This time around I feel like I just get stoned. Sometimes I get a pretty good euphoric relaxed buzz, other times its just a dulling effect. And if I smoke too much I get this shitty feeling where the thought of doing anything feels overwhelming and I feel like I can't deal with it.

Yep, I believe the weed getting around is too strong though, you have to daily smoke to be able to cope with it. I never have negative reactions to weed grown in soil & under sunlight. I almost always have a racing heart/uncomfortable chest feeling with hydro.

I can relate
I used to enjoy weed a lot, too much really.
One day I had a crazy acid trip that lasted a week and ever since then weed has been freaking me out.
I'd get tense and paranoid thinking that my friends are talking shit about me when they say something, it could be a small thing but it seems really significant when I'm high.
So really I don't enjoy weed anymore but I kept going back to it as I am pretty stubborn and somewhere inside I felt that "freaking out" is inexcusable.
I did this with merry go rounds as a kid - they used to give me bad motion sickness and make me puke, well every time I would go back determined "not to puke this time". Lol it never worked. Sometimes you just gotta know when to walk away.
I don't have to smoke weed, sometimes I feel like I do because all my friends smoke etc etc but then I'll do it and feel like shit and wonder why did I do this again?
At this point I can smoke without freaking out, but it takes a lot of concentration because I have to keep remembering when a paranoid thought comes that its just bs, it isn't as significant as what I think it is and remember that it is my own emotional integrity that is important - then I feel better and relax again.
But honestly it isn't fun anymore, basically my "good" weed experiences nowadays consist of me not freaking out, and I keep going back just like I did to the merry go round as a kid.
Now I feel that it is time for me to walk away again.
I don't have to smoke weed.
I enjoy things a lot more and find more fulfillment in life without drugs nowadays.
