any of you blokes get anxiety from smoking bud?

[Eat Bass]

i had to stop smoking for a job for quite some time, and now when i smoke i tend to get anxiety to the point where id rather just not of smoked. thats not normal for me as before id usually always prefer to be high. now i find myself denying it left and right. i still like to be high with my certain close group of friends but im finding for the most part that i get anxiety and would rather not smoke. ill just analyze my life way to hard and start feeling bad and self conscious when im usually a pretty over confident person and ill just feel uneasy for about 45 mins, then i feel nice once the big high goes away. but if i only take like two hits or get a nice buzz before a smoke im fine. but idk what happened lol, i kinda wish i enjoyed weed. now i find myself wanting perc 30's or xanax and shit to "chill", when i really wish i could just smoke weed.

I still smoke weed every evening t chill out after a busy day but it affects me way differently nowadays. I find it has started making me paranoid about my heart and my chest feels well tight after a couple of spliffs.
So yeah, I guess in answer to your post. It does get different after a while. If you don't like how you feel on it, don't smoke it I guess.

[DRTY]

just stop smoking it, it's pretty shit really. You're paying a lot of money to feel lethargic and sketchy

yeah thats kinda what happened to me...its not very enjoyable some of the time but i really wish it was. because sometimes after a long day i 'need' something to just give me a little change. id much rather smoke weed than do pills, and really i prefer not to drink a lot because it makes me feel like shit the next day.

one thing that i do find is that if i smoke weed everyday the anxiety gets a little better because my tolerance goes up but its like i have to practice smoking weed everyday just to enjoy it, which isn't cool. i wish i was like some of my friends that say weed helps their anxiety...not me...

edit: ya but DRTY i want to be able to enjoy it like i used to so that i dont do pills and shit. i dont do pills all the time but maybe once a week, but id rather not get habit of doing that...

Sounds like you've just smoked it for too long, same thing happens with every drug. They all lose their fun aspect pretty quick.

I used to smoke it regularly, like cigarettes, just becomes a habit instead of something recreational. Stop smoking it completely and see how you feel. Then if you ever fancy it again, have a cheeky smoke, and you'll be battered, probably too stoned to enjoy it.

i have stopped smoking it for the most part and thats exactly what happens i get more blazed than i ever have in my life even when i was fucking 14 years old. i really dont miss the smoking that much but i know myself and i just like some drugs to chill out. i find myself not fond of drinking heavily lately and have been only drinking like one night a week. well besides maybe a few beers once during the week. so my next resort is pills and i do enjoy myself some percocets and xanax and such which i know is not good. thats really the only reason why i want to like smoking weed because every time i smoke weed i dont even want to do other drugs, at all.

but idk i guess im just gonna get myself out of the habit and try and be sober for the most part. im doing very well in college, so thats really my main concern, as long as i maintain all A's and some B's i dont have a problem 'for now'.

just smoke less at a time or get shwag. or just smoke with your friends and not at parties. or fix the shit in your life that you panic about. or learn how to get rid of your anxiety: that's certainly what i mean when i say smoking weed helps with anxiety.

[SunkLo]

Yeah just smoke less. Mini bowls are the way. Don't you remember sketching right out when you first started burning? It's just a product of low tolerance and high thc. Try some different weed with more cbds/less thc or an indica dominant strain. Practice meditation or yoga and use deep breathing techniques to relax when you feel anxious.

It can kick in quite hard if I smoke alone, but it gets me to sleep which is generally why I do it. Really shouldn't be smoking it tbh, not now.

[Genevieve]

Doing any drug a lot is just completely unappealing to me. Keep that shit special to enhance a certain situation, or to make it a special little event on itself. I've only bought weed 3 times in my entire life, the other times I just got a few hits from friends and that's all I need.

And it's just an unpredictable drug, anyway. To me anyway.

yeah but i feel like all the stresses in life im never going to be completely at ease and weed definitely puts those stressful thoughts directly in front. where when im sober i can learn to just say fuck it and go with the flow.

but yeah i guess ill just have to smoke less and work on improving my life. should def make for a more enjoyable experience.

yeah thats just hard when my friends are all pot heads and burn fat blunts all day long. and yeah i do remember getting a little sketched but idk it was just kind of the fun back then. then the anxiety subsided a bit as i smoked more but now its just back in full force.

yeah i hear ya. but id just rather smoke weed than drink or do pills simply because its not addictive and no where near as bad for you. and i know im going to be doing shit while im in my college party phase, so i wish i could just learn to enjoy weed so i didnt have to drink as much or do pills.

[antipode]

Yep. havent smoked regularly since i was a teenager.
Seems to exacerbrate all sorts of issues for me.

I also think weed (with indoor growing techniques) is getting more and more potent, and it's having this effect on more people. I've heard smoking some outdoor bush instead of fullblown skunk is a lot better for people that have issues with it.

[JBoy]

I havent smoked weed for over a year now. When i first smoked it the initial high was just purely euphoric, id just slip into total ease in the environment and people that i was with at the time. I just smoked and smoked and i do believe theres too much of a good thing, after years of buying a halfer a week id get to the point where i just physically couldnt be anywhere but at my house in my bed. I know that sounds daft but id have to leave wherever i was and get home or it would feel like i was going to explode. i suppose shit affects everyone in different ways but i just thought enough was enough, still get that craving for a nice thick bifta though.

i've never really though of pills as an alternative to grass if you want to chill...

[SamakkaBeatKru]

Just stumbled across this.

Used to smoke spliff, bud, biffta, whatever you wanna call it, most nights. Found it became repetitive, and it affected my school work, now college work so I kicked the habit.

However I do find the occasional Spliff great, sometimes It's a treat to mong and listen to some relaxed dub.

well im saying weed could be an alternative to pills...because when i stopped smoking weed for the most part i started doing pills here and there. now id rather just enjoy smoking pot than do pills, problem is i really cant enjoy pot that much anymore...which probably has to do with what everyone has been saying...low tolerance, potent weed, smoking too much, stressful life, etc etc.

[phrex]

ask murky what happenes to me when i smoke skunk

[mcnublets]

I guess you can say I'm pretty much addicted, feel sketched out/paranoid when I toke but if I don't smoke for more than a couple days I get crazy anxious to the point where I can't sleep/get chills at night etc. I feel great when I do take a break though, but I always end up getting back into the habit...

yeah thats just hard when my friends are all pot heads and burn fat blunts all day long. and yeah i do remember getting a little sketched but idk it was just kind of the fun back then. then the anxiety subsided a bit as i smoked more but now its just back in full force.

i figure this is mainly your problem. just take a hit or two and then wait until you feel sober again.
smoking everyday isn't really the sort of thing one should recommend but it will definitely increase your tolerance.
and i think the likelihood of getting anxiety is directly correlated to tolerance. i never really get it anymore from smoking weed but i'll still get it bad like im sixteen if i vape too much of a cannabinoid.

yeah most likely a tolerance issue as like i said ever since i stopped for a while and came back it hasent been the same. but when i tried smoking more often again id build a slight tolerance and be a little more comfortable, take 3 days off and boom ripped as fuck and uncomfortable. its literally like i need to smoke everyday to enjoy it like i want to lol. but like u said i could smoke less its just hard when i got my friends egging me on to smoke a shit ton with them. i also find that i enjoy the second smoke of the day much more than the first. the first one just puts me all out of whack especially if i smoke in the day, i prefer to smoke at night.
