Has anyone smoked weed for a long time then got anxiety from it, and the anxiety went away?
    #26879795 - 08/14/20 09:16 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

So I smoked weed for almost 15 years, I got into a bad place in my life and then weed started making me have racing thoughts. I’m about to be able to smoke again after about 1.5 years of not smoking. I will no longer be able to smoke during the day most likely, due to it most likely make me feel uncomfortable but when it gets dark outside I feel I’ll be able to enjoy it again. I don’t drink, and weed was one way for me to be able to relax and enjoy movies/games better and whatever.

When I was a teen, I had a bad synthetic marijuana trip that ruined weed for years. Because when I smoked, I basically had a flash back and started to panic. I didn't smoke for around three years before I started lightly smoking again. However, the high was still different. While the anxiety never went away, I was able to deal with it and the working through my anxiety while high felt therapeutic. Now, I rarely smoke but feel confident that my anxiety won't prevent me from smoking if I wanted to.

There was a time in my life, many years ago, that I couldn't smoke because I would get too anxious/panicky, but this was during a part of my life that I was dealing with an unreasonable amount of stress and having panic attacks often.  I even had to give up coffee during this period due to it triggering an attack.  As time went on, and the stressed was reduced, I could go back to my beatnik lifestyle of coffee and ganja.

My take is that negative experiences with cannabis are directly related to hybrids and extracts with very high THC and little to no CBD.

I would recommend starting by getting some  high CBD smoking hemp or full spectrum CBD extracts to mix in with the ganja, OR pursue strains that have a 1:1 or 1:2 THC:CBD ratio.

If you've been clean 1.5 years, something that's 5% THC and 3% CBD will absolutely peel your cap off.

Once you're back in the saddle, evaluate if no or low CBD strains make sense.

Yeah, I stopped smoking for a while because it just made me paranoid, worry about who was looking at me, who would know, that I was wasting my life, etc. I stopped for a while and then when I had some pretty strong depression and was in a bad place in my life I started smoking and it helped, it didn't help me solve the problem, but it helped with the feelings of inadequacy. It's been a few months since that point and I still smoke every day, but I'm getting shit done, I'm out of the slump and weed doesn't make me nervous/paranoid anymore (unless I'm reaaaalllyy high or use a very sativa strain).

If I overdo it I get this lately with covid fears - and I do feel like the state of the world has my panic threshold a bit lower lately. I ate a weed peanut butter and jelly sandwich the other night that gave me the closest thing to a panic attack I've had in years. Shook so hard I pulled some muscles in my hips, it was super weird:sad:. Took a break from it last night and the clarity felt good, though.

I think in my case it's just overdoing it because this has happened before, but not quite this bad. I do use weed medically, most days of the week - I find that dosage is more important than anything, but I am hoping this is not the start of a greater trend. I find I have this problem more so with flower and edibles - rso seems to always do me right, mentally, just because it is easier to dose it imo.


I also do take cbd in conjunction with thc products fairly often, and I would agree the fuller spectrum stuff or just cbd in conjunction with thc heavy products smoothes out the bumpiness of the high. This is the first edible I've eaten without a daily dose of cbd in a little while now, so makes me wonder. A lot of the rso I take is full spectrum, too.

Been smoking on and off since 1977. I have had some bouts with anxiety with it, but it was a round new people and in my teens and 20's mainly. It comes and goes. I don't get it now at 55yo, but I don't smoke every day, and I don't smoke until I'm obliterated. I can make an eighth last a month or more if that tells you how I smoke. Weed these days is hybridized too much of you ask me. Best weed you can smoke is what you can grow.

It’s just the weirdest how I used to be able to take LSD/Mushrooms and smoke but if I only smoked weed I’d get anxiety... mainly introspective type anxiety. I was on a bad path so it was understandable. I like the fact that weed makes me stay true, dishes must be done, house must be clean type of deal for me to be able to smoke. Late night, hanging out type of thing...

I’m going to dabble with edibles n stuff and see how it turns out. Staying away from concentrates, that stuff just gets me blasted as I didn’t/won’t have much of a tolerance. I just want to get some giggles, muscle relief, munchies, pet my cats and laugh at a movie while it’s dark out.

I made some edibles a while ago that made me ridiculously nervous at times. They probably weren't properly dosed because I legit felt cold, nervous and over-hyped when I had some but other times I just felt chill. Super weird stuff.

@trees, why did you like the anxiety? Not enough in your day to day?

I smoked weed pretty regularly weekends from late teens to early twenties. One day out of the blue it started making me paranoid. I stopped smoking. I've tried it now and again over the years but it never relented. At one point not too long ago I went through some shit and got bad anxiety. Constant racing thoughts, heart pounding in my chest and that weird feeling of wanting to crawl out of your own skin. It's like your body is permanently stuck in fight or flight mode. It's gone now thank God, it was a living nightmare.

Anyway not to long ago for the hell of it I tried smoking a little. I was in a very comfortable place. Anxiety came back. Noway near as sever as what I described above, but it was there. I just focused on the things that are relaxing for me and stuck to my typical routines and it was gone in a few days.

If you do it go really easy. Take a hit and then wait 10 minutes or so. Wait to see how you feel.

Yeah it's really, really easy to overdo it these days. With weed being sooooooo potent now. I keep a little weed stash handy at my place at all times, if the mood ever strikes, but it rarely does anymore. And when it does literally one big rip complete with hard coughing will get me straight fuckin toasted for a few hours. At least.

Less is definitely more with weed when it comes to me. Because once I cross that line (and it's so easy to cross that line) I am pretty much cooked.

I was a daily smoker from my teens. I always had a high tolerance. Edibles, hash, concentrates weren't a problem until randomly one day when I was riding my motorcycle. I wasn't even noticeably high, but I got super sweaty and felt like I was going to pass out or lose control. It has persisted for many years since. I've explored all sorts of medical conditions with no answers.

I was dealing with a lot of concentrates at the time and smoking them a lot. Who knows if there's a connection.

Im in a similar boat now, I'm looking to get back into occasional smoking because I do miss it. I'll keep yall posted on how it goes. If the yips come back I'll know it was the ganj!

I was smoking weed regularly for a long time. Then I made some poor life choices and I was naturally anxious all the time, and the weed started to make it worse. I quit smoking, then when I started again a year later I got even worse anxiety, but it felt different, like the type of anxiety I felt when I was in high school smoking, and now I don't feel anxiety from it.

Dabs are awesome, for me they're just like smoking weed but with less lungfuck.

Right now it's social environments that are tense that give me weed anxiety, like when I'm with an old friend and his klepto roommate come by, it feels tense, but when it's just me and my friends or out in public I feel excellent.
