    I'll try to make this short as I could probably talk about this for hours. I really can't go to my doctor and ask him about my issues with bud so I have to ask here. When I was in my teens and all the way up to around 21 I was a happy smoker, not a care in the world. I could smoke blunt after blunt, joint after joint and get ridiculously stoned with my buddies or even by myself and watch flicks all day or listen to Bone Thugs N Harmony all night. I could get high and go into a public place with no issues, could be around my folks most of the time and not get nervous. It was a way of life for me and I had some of my best times during my smoking days. Now, I just turned 29 and have a 5 year old, LOL. I don't know if being a father and more responsibilities have changed me but smoking is no longer what is use to be for me.

    My sons mother and I tried smoking a few times and it's been a disaster! It's been so long since I smoked I didn't even know where to buy any but luckily a friend had some mids/nugget left over. Anyways, I took a few hits from a J and almost instantly my heart felt like it was going to explode. This has happened to me every time I've tried to smoke. It's the reason I quit years ago. My chest feels heavy like I just ran a marathon or I'm in an extremely hot shower, my heart just beats incredibly fast. I get like this dread feeling that comes over me. That's when it gets to the worse point. However, I always feel my anxiety is through the roof, I get that feeling like people will know I'm high or that everyone is watching you feeling. That triggers my anxiety and I get a panic attack. I was on Xanax for years so I do have really bad anxiety at times. When I was younger though smoking helped my nerves, I had to smoke now it's the total opposite. I'm wondering if it's due to being a father now or worried that my family will find out, something triggered this I just can't figure out what it was. Something during my smoking days went bad and turned me it against it. Maybe getting in trouble with the law did it? No idea.

    I don't understand why I get like this? I wish I could enjoy it again like I did in my younger days. Does anyone deal with these issues as well and has anybody her got over them to enjoy blazing again?

    When I started it took a good 3 or 4 sessions to finally get high. My heart felt the same way, and I felt nauseous. You may just need to power through a few more times
    It also just might not be for you anymore. Its not for everyone, maybe your body chemistry has changed in the years you didn't smoke, and its not as compatible anymore

    You had it right in your first thoughts.. fatherhood.
     
    Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are many many wonderful dads out there who can handle their shit and raise a family simultaneously, but it takes too much out of a person. Subconsciously, you're constantly worried about your child, so much to the point where it fucks with your conscious mind while you partake.
     
    When I was engaged, my fiance's son (not my bio son) was already a big enough responsibility, but I found a balance between smoking and fatherhood. After a while I rarely smoked and would go weeks without it at a time (and I was medical at that time as well) because I wanted to focus more on the child and work than I did about getting high.
     
    fast forward to now, I have a full-time job but not many responsibilities.. so I smoke damn near every day. 
     
    In your case, I'd suggest edibles or dabs, something quick and not messy and doesn't leave smell. gets your high better.

    Maybe you're worried of what your son would think if he knew you used marijuana. Thats tough for a kid under 12 to understand cuz schools just tells them how horrible drugs are.  Maybe you need to relax without using weed before you can be relaxed using it

    sounds like you need to try indica weed, you seemed to have a panic attack on that sativa (not chill, mind racing, fast heart beat). next time take one hit and then wait to see how you feel and hit more if you want. more you smoke more likely that shit is to happen

    Parenthood can change some people. Make you feel that you are being irresponsible etc.
    But you're not. Wait til the kid is in bed if you have to. Reward yourself at the end of the day if that works.
     
    Engage your kid sober and smoke when that engaging time is done (bedtime etc.) chill with a bit of smoke. It's no different than people who have a few beers or wine at the end of a day.
     
    When it comes to anxiety remember you are doing nothing wrong and chill man. Maybe get a small one hitter and load up small hits and find your "sweet spot". Knowing your approximate sweet spot is key to any smoking/vaping experience especially as you get older and have more on your mind and responsibilties in your life.
     
    Just chill man.

    if it's uncomfortable then why do you need help? should be easy to just Not smoke.

    It's easy not smoke I don't have the urge to. I just have bad anxiety and I don't want to go back on benzos. They help but too addictive. I was hoping smoking could ease my anxiety like it once did.
