It's strange because I've heard of this "phenomenon" (for lack of a better word) before where a decent sized demographic of kids smoked pot regularly over a long time period, and then all of a sudden they couldn't do it anymore because it consistently induced panic attacks. I don't get it though, why is this? I feel like theres got to be a physical reason right? Especially for someone who is comfortable with pot and isn't even nervous or anything going into it, it doesn't seem psychological.

I'm curious cause I think my pot smoking days are over for now. I've been getting this experience. I can't smoke at all anymore without genuinely feeling like I'm having a heart attack. It was the worst the last time I smoked. I started shivering uncontrollably with cold skin.

I didn't say everybody, I said theres a demographic of pot smokers that smoked consistently for a long time with no problems, and then one day they began consistently getting panic attacks when they smoked.

1.  Maybe take a tolerance break.
2.  Smoke better weed.  Lower quality = more chance to freak out.
3.  Don't over smoke.  Get too high and you always freak out.

I have no idea but I'm really interested in this as well, I hope someone can shed some light on the issue.

I know my weed smoking experience has changed a great deal. I've been smoking for about 4 years now but recently have just cut back severely. I like to smoke occasionally but I find it's best for when I've had a stressful day and want to relax and surf the 'net or watch a movie. I do not like to smoke with random people I've just met anymore, I become slightly paranoid. I'm able to handle it and calm myself down enough to where I've never had a panic attack but I think it just makes me way too self-conscious.

I wonder also if this affected by hallucinogen use. That is, the nature of smoking weed is changed after you use hallucinogens consistently.

That all being said, I still enjoy smoking weed in conjunction with certain other substances. Weed to me now is more of a 'helper' drug - adds to the experience of other drugs.

I don't agree with the above comment about lower quality weed increasing your chance of freaking out though. I know there have been a few times I've taken only a hit of chronic and it has freaked me the fuck out so much I was like "uh fuck class I can't do that shit."
