Try this if you get anxiety when smoking weed

Last night I got way too high and felt the onset of 'impending doom', fast heartbeat, panicky thoughts etc. I remembered reading about sniffing black pepper, containing the terpene beta-caryophyllene which has an anti anxiety effect.
So I grabbed the pepper grinder from the cupboard, ground up some fresh pepper and slowly inhaled the aroma through my nose (you don't inhale the actual pepper). The smell is actually very pleasant and soothing. I did this a few times and 5 minutes later the anxiety was completely gone. I was able to really enjoy the rest of being 'too high' completely worry free.
Has anyone else ever tried it?
Here is where I had read about it if anyone is interested https://www.420magazine.com/forums/general-420-talk/265959-black-pepper-cure-cannabis-related-anxiety.html

I guess I will try that, I do get weed anxiety pretty much every time I smoke. Usually it just passes in 5-25 minutes it is more of an onset thing. I don't think I want to sniff black pepper for more than a minute or so, but I will try to remember this.
I recommend deep slow breaths and just remember the anxiety doesn't matter. I usually try to channel it into something engaging or creative.

Interesting, I have been putting pepper + some other stuff in my coffee for awhile now and getting little to no anxiety from it or cannabis which is rare for me.
Usually coffee and cannabis together give me a ton of jittery anxiety that is very unpleasant but the cayenne pepper + turmeric seem to help greatly.
Or it could just be kratom

Yeah I think I'll keep smoking with a benzo handy. My weed anxiety started as the normal anxiety and I could normally just focus intensely on something until it went away. Worked for like 2-3 years but I eventually started like having bad trips. For whatever reason now THC gets into my brain and it immediately goes YOU'RE GOING TO DIE YOUR FUCKED AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
And then I have a panic attack, my pulse races, my blood pressure goes thru the roof and I feel like I'm dying. And as much as I do and tell myself I'm not dying I still feel like I'm dying.
Rip my weed tolerance.
I think it'll help if I quit smoking and move and possibly change jobs cuz that shit, on top of my health and relationships issues, is making me a nervous wreck. I'm a very different person than I was 3-4 years ago.
TLDR: I'm not even half convinced pepper would help my ass

Try taking a break and easing back into it. Also see if you can find some low thc high CBD strains, they are very mellow and can even counteract high THC strain anxiety IME.
Kratom also can help but it might make it worse for some people too. At least try pepper before assuming you will always need benzo's.
In fact benzo's could even have played a role in your anxiety developing, who knows

U can also try vaping the shit, just use tiny amounts and move ur way up if u feel confident enough to do so. Ime u dont need ridiculous amounts of marijuana to get high or feel its therapeutic effects, in fact i think its medicine is more potent when taken in very moderate doses.. U dont have to feel high for the marijuana to work its magic, it can do it without u even noticing it..

this. cbd blocks the negative aspects from THC, if you're really looking to kill the anxiety, try another strain.

Wasn't using benzos when my anxiety developed and still didn't past the point it became severe. Kinda wish I'd picked it up sooner because the shitty thing about panic attacks is you start to become anxious you're going to have one.
I would love a low THC strain but my state isn't super 420 friendly so the closest I've found is your standard mid-grade buds. I stopped smoking for about 3-4 months for a drug test and when I came back into it that's when the anxiety became severe. Quit again for nearly a year. Had a major panic attack again.

I've gotten myself a little bit of CBD oil recently and I love it. But before then I was smoking like the tiniest little baby flakes of bud. Shitty thing is, again, not a medical state, so I don't know how potent my shit is until I smoke it. Everyone around here just calls their shit "dank" or "mids" (and ofc will try to pass schwag as mids on occasion - which is very hard to find and is concerning with laced batches, or try to pass mids off as dank) And depending on my mood the smallest effective doses I've tried can still send me into a panic atttack.
I mean I still keep contacts because I do appreciate its medicinal value. I've tried dozens of things and it comes up par none for my occasional intestinal spasms. Beats the daily side effect riddled shit pills my GI wanted me on for sure.
Eh. I will try the pepper trick next time I smoke but I suppose it doesn't help almost every time I smoke now I'm already uncomfortable and trying to treat that discomfort. Still, ime, it is to intestinal spasms as shrooms is to migraines. Fucking miracle medicine really. Just sad it isn't recognized as such here...

Sometimes when I get that impending doom feeling from too many bong rips I sorta just remind myself that I do this all the time and it's what I wanted when I was sober so just enjoy it because i paid money to feel that way and if i die right now it wont matter to me anyway cause i'll probaby reincarnate which might be refreshing. It helps every time

Have you ever drank a glass of milk while on acid? Like Albert Hoffman did when he was tripping balls for the first time or something like that?

Not for that reason, does that help?
I usually deal with it by deep breathing, sex if thats an option or light exercise Weed helps, its just necessary for me, I would not trip without it
The best cure Ive found is sex or exercise though, override the negative sensations with positive endorphins

I imagine it might help, the taste of milk, it's like from when we were safe and comfortable babies sucking our guardian moms titties. I never drink milk but any time I do its a pretty unique experience.
Pizza has brought me back to sanity before. Sexual arousal is also very distracting from anxiety.

My GF has real bad anxiety with weed, but when she tried her sisters medicine which was a THC/CBD hybrid, she had very little anxiety.
But this fresh black pepper sounds interestin, like a aromatheraputic effect. Very cool Wolfie.
Next time i eat too much edibles, i will try this (if i remember in the moment lol)
