First Bad Experience

You could try a different cannabis plant. I would try finding something with higher CBD. CBD counteracts the effects of THC. Even a toke from a high CBD variety when you start feeling that way will curb that feeling. Good luck. There is no reason you should feel like you have to smoke weed for you finance, I am on my second marriage and neither of them smoked. All these new varieties of weed are high THC these days, look for something mild with more balanced cannabinoids.

 

My girlfriend usually doesn't handle weed anymore due to the high THC level, try meditating. Feel the energy, your problems and stress is only in your mind. Try meditating for anxiety or whatever you struggle with. Usually a small buzz would just calm you, however its normal for beginners to experience the anxiety/paranoia feeling in your chest with difficulty breathing. Perhaps enhanced Cannabinoid-based products with less would be helpful, as CBD oils etc. You don't need to feel the high to get the benefit from cannabis If you want to enjoy the high, just eat some snacks and watch your favorite TV-show or listen to your favorite songs. Take some time for yourself

 

Sound like what you may have is a sativa leaning Hybrid strain. Sativa is the brain scrambler version that can bring on anxiety in many new users who don't know just what to expect.
Indica is the more relaxed strains and tends to make many users doze off if they are not up and active.
Micro dosing ( a tiny toke ) might be useful where it's not really enough to say Yes I'm stoned.
More an "I'm I high sensation ?" works for many people starting out.
My own wife is a micro dose level user. Just a 1/4 drag off the pipe is all she needs to be set for a couple of hours.
Took years to figure it out but it does the job. More then that makes her paranoid and she spends the evening mad at me for letting her take a second toke.

Don't put a lot of faith in different strains making much difference unless it's a low THC strain I suppose. You simply got too high. You'll find you get a pleasant high with very small amounts. For your next sesh let your bf take the hit and you get yours from his exhale. Work up from there.

 

Weed is a (mild) psychedelic at the end of the day. No it's not on the level of other drugs that are against the rules to talk about here but it still needs to be respected and understood for what it really is. It can exaggerate existing aspects of yourself that are negative or positive. Understanding that is the key to not fearing it. You're tapping into a part of yourself on a deeper level than being sober (maybe with the exceptions of serious meditation).

Your mindset, your set and setting, etc will all play a part in how your experience goes. Just as weed can gently hug you with it's euphoria and relaxation it can bitch slap you with anxiety and a dark look at parts of yourself you don't want to encounter. But that mostly depends on you. Good doesn't exist without bad but whether you have a good time or a bad time is almost entirely dependent on you, whether it's something you can control consciously or not.

You can learn to control the experience to work in your favor. If you want to continue smoking go slow. Microdose and work your way up at your own pace. Don't let your ego play a part in your decisions.
