The greatest experiences I've ever had involved my first time with Dr. Honeybear Waterpipe. And it continued for years until...I started having panic attacks. Luckily, I was prescribed an anti-Panic medicine and when on it, I can indulge in the magic plant sent from heaven. Unluckily, it's a dangerous drug that has gone from being beneficial therapeutically AND an addictive nuisance. I'm staying on it...so you see the issues I'm dealing with. It's not just Mary Jane that sets me off, it's also alcohol, certain foods and sometimes, it just drops out of the blue when completely sober.
I've found high CBD cannabis to be a helpful counter to panic attacks and anxiety, particularly for countering overindulgence in THC. If not available locally it may be available online in your area. Give it a shot!
