Chest Pains, Anxiety When Smoking Alone

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by macca97, Aug 30, 2014.

    Hey guys, I've been a fairly consistent 2-3 times a week (on average) smoker with my friends and about 3 or 4 weeks ago I smoked some real intense shit with some mates, hardly had much at all didn't even think I was that high.
    Anyway I walked off into town and there was people everywhere, naturally I was a little bit paranoid but then I got a weird pain in my chest, very hard to explain but it was very very intense, at first I thought it was my asthma but for about the next hour, in the middle of town I kept having these pains and had no idea what they were. (They were so intense I had to sit down and regroup myself)
    Anyway I still smoke, whenever I smoke with friends in perfectly fine, get around doing stuff, go out places, have fun, whatever but whenever I smoke alone now the same thing happens, it feels like I'm loosing my mind and I try convince myself it's all in my head but the pains are very intense.
    This is very weird and I'm wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this or heard of it, hoping I haven't triggered the onset of a mental illness, I think all round I'm a fairly normal guy, pretty fit and healthy

    any responses will be greatly appreciated, thank you

    Hi macca97
     
    I can say i know what it is, or a variation of what you are feeling. I have been a regular toker myself since 2012 and at some point during the drug use my highs became rather uncomfortable; i got panic attacks of graphic nature e.g accidents and the smell of cold metal / iron.
     
    Im not trying to scare you, i also got scared myself, very scared when it got to that point but i thought "what the heck? that was probably just some good dank / bad trip". But meditation and a lot of peace (every morning, as the dew died out while watching the sun rise by some construction site) helped me through that patch and i was in control of my mini freak-outs, was able to channel that into just relaxing.
     
    I was good for a couple months when i was hit with the: 
     
    I thought i was going insane too! But having gone through the previous experience i knew i had to change the way i perceived my situation or risk making myself insane, thinking i was indeed going mad.
     
    Here is what i learnt. You have simply experienced a paradigm shift in your perception. The understanding of your environment is now reliant on you. Unless you suffer a medical condition, the anxiety is self-induced. Cut back on the weed or learn to live with the voice.
     
    Email me if you find this useful, or if your're just interested in seeing how deep the burrow goes.
     
    Good luck with your situation,
     
    Marvin.
