Weed Smokers: How Do You Cope With The Anxiety??

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Sometimes herb forces you to look at yourself intensely... The herb reveals your subconscious. It all has to do with your state of mind. Breath deeply and control your breath until it is normal, don't smoke too much esp with good weed.

Those anxiety attacks can be pretty revealing about what is currently bothering you most. We use weed for recreation so much we forget it has other uses.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Anxiety? Nah, the weed keeps me calm don. The only time I dealt with anxiety with weed was around the time frame I'd had two pretty serious death threats - then I'd sometimes have a full blown panic attack before I slept on a night.

That's the point... The anxiety doesn't come from the weed but weed triggers a panic attack if your already heavy minded like that. It forces your anxieties to the surface.

another important factor no ones brought up, is it could also be the strain of weed you're smokin..

 

[Kuuuuush]

kush is my way of dealing with anxiety, not the promoter of it. It is one of the way I cope with stress and daily anxiety and I've never been the type to bug out when highed up.

nikka shuttup

It is what it is. Usually happens with people who smoke over their limit.

Used to but once I got a solid understanding of weed and its effects, it went away. Knowing that its only temporary pretty much negated my fear of it. Now i dont give a damn.

I only get anxiety if I have smoked and I realize I can't get home or am out and about. if I smoke in the house, I enjoy my high cuz i'm in the safety of my crib where I can relax, eat, and zone with the music/movies.

i dont think i could smoke with alot of yall. a nikka just trying to chill after i smoke, i aint got shyt to be paranoid about. unless them boys are trying to kick in my door.

Don't smoke anymore, but I had a few bad anxiety attacks when I used to. So I just decided to smoke way less. A couple pulls off an L or one hit of the pipe then stop. There's no reason to get super-fukked up unless you're a teenager and it's still a fairly new experience.

This, nikkas having epileptic episodes and still smoking
Its not for everybody i guess.

I used to have a slight anxiety about being high in public, as if everybody was scrutinizing my every move on some " this high ass nikka" shyt.
But then I came to grips that there's nothing they can do and I dont give a fukk, I cut back to mostly smoking at night, and plus I take preventative measures to ensure I dont look/smell/act like a raging pothead if I am high in public.

 

[DerrtySouthpaw]

clear eye or whatever you fukk with is always cool too if you worried about people looking at you sideways on some

type shyt cause they can never tell when u geeked. atleast it works with me. up in folks faces clueless as fukk and im high most of the time. try it brehs

 

[SuburbanPimp]

I went through that when I first started smoking....

I used be like, "I bet everyone knows I'm high", "I bet they can smell it" type shyt.

But now, It just doesn't bother me at all.

I have more of a ADD and OCD problem when I'm high than Anxiety....

This. I don't understand the western world's perception of anxiety. People get it and then don't want to analyze why it's there in the first place and request a pill that basically snuffs out that voice in you that is actually trying to tell you something. More often than not, seemingly random anxiety attacks kick in because your psyche is trying to tell you that your deep inner thoughts and the actions of your real life, are not in congruence with one another.

I had a couple really bad anxiety attacks in college. First one I was super high but the second one I was sober and in Bio. But both were being brought to the forefront of my thoughts because I was burying a ton of woman problems / family shyt and refusing to deal with it.

Hence, the anxiety was the alarm going off in my body telling me I needed to man up and deal with shyt. I keep a very open line with that inner voice now and the second I catch it saying anything I listen, consider it, and make the adjustment.

I still smoke and I haven't had anxiety since those college days when I wasn't handling my business.

Sometimes less is more. Some dudes will roll a whole strain of loud just to look hardcore. I find smoking a blunt of potent in one sitting tweaks me out to the point where I'm unable to function. The high is too intense. Get a pipe and ration out your tokes until you find that sweet spot.

Also, the nature of the high can be more or less dependent upon the circumstances you're in while smoking. If you've got all of your day to day shyt taken care of and nothings really nagging you then it'll be a mellow high. Which is why it seems the older I get the less inclined I am to get high. It's not like when you're young and carefree with no bills, debt, or any major life concerns other than that of the typical adolescent. Anyone else feel this way?
