Should I stop smoking completely? (panic attacks)

For background purposes, I'm a chick, on the small side, have GAD and a limited history of panic attacks (like once every five years, but when I have them they're awful, feel like I am 100% going to die and think I need to go to the ER, but am always able to talk myself down because I have a pretty good grip on reality at all times)
 
I'm a college sophomore but I transferred so I fell in with a new group of people this year and they all smoke. I smoked for the first time in late August and I've been smoking since, mostly bowls and bongs and sometimes blunts, every weekend and some weekdays.
 
I would only take one or two hits and then I would feel a really nice sedate feeling and feel really chatty and friendly and chill, it's a great feeling. Kind of like the feeling you get on benzos. 
 
A few weeks ago I went back home to visit my family so obviously did not smoke over that weekend. I came back the next weekend and my friends wanted to do a GB before we headed over to a party so I took a full powerade bottle of smoke.
 
It hit me really hard and I was coughing like crazy and at first I felt amazing, I felt like I was moving through time. Then my one friend said something and I couldn't stop laughing and then I just felt everything shift and get scary and went into panic attack mode.
 
My panic attacks usually only last like five minutes so I was confident that was going to happen... it didn't. The elevated heart rate kept my mind in churning panic mode for an hour and a half. I was aware the entire time that I was fine but could not talk myself down physically. My friends took me back to my apartment and I got Xanax but I didn't want to be alone so I took the Xanax and they brought me to the party. I came down in like thirty minutes and felt fine although exhausted the next day.
 
Earlier that day I had a medicinal dose of Robitussin for a cough so I don't know if maybe that fucked with my lung capacity or I robotripped a little by accident? I don't think so because it was a totally normal dose.
 
Anyway this past weekend I freaked out again. First I drank too much at one party and went to another one and was in an awful mood + judgment was impaired, so I took a massive bong rip (DUMB I know you're not supposed to drink and then smoke) and freaked out again but couldn't take Xanax this time because Xanax + alcohol will fuck you up so I had to go home with my friend and lie in bed and wait to come down. Took almost four hours. She had a bad experience herself the night before (smoked a lung of shitty weed) but it was social paranoia, like "oh no one likes me" not this all consuming "my life is ending" paranoia that was gripping me.  
 
Both of these experiences were just absolutely awful and I was laid out for hours. It was just this churning panic that would come in waves, I would start thinking I was feeling better and then that very thought would fuck me up again. I had severely blurred vision and weird hallucinations and a total lack of spatial orientation, both times I only got around and had normal conversations using my lizard brain and autopilot. I felt like I had never known what it was like to feel normal and I never would again, I thought I was dead, I thought I wasn't real, I thought my friends were dead, it was literally exactly like a nightmare.
 
This makes me never want to smoke again. I know that's stupid because between both of those experiences I smoked small amounts of joints and felt fine after. I should probably just avoid bongs and GBs/lungs/waterfalls entirely now, I guess I don't have the personality or the lung capacity to smoke that much without flipping out. But it's making me afraid to touch weed at all which sucks because I like it way better than drinking alcohol and while drinking makes me way too jazzy, the right amount of weed makes me the perfect amount of social while still being chill and relaxed.
 
Advice? Sorry this is so long I just wanted to cover everything

 

 
Smoking slower and less is definitely good advice but the problem of me being a strictly social smoker kind of eliminates the other two, I will definitely ask what strain it is next time I smoke with other people though, and look it up. Couch-locked is definitely preferable to tripping balls. Thanks!

 

 
Okay good to know, thanks.
Haha yeah I will definitely not be doing that again!

 

Forgot to mention, I had a few disassociative/depersonalization episodes this summer before I got to school, and the bad reaction to weed kind of felt like depersonalization + panic attack, so these are both things I'm already prone to

 

 
idk man I don't think it's too weird, they usually tell me themselves what we're smoking especially if it's kind of strong, when I smoked northern lights with one of my friends he warned all of us we were going to be couchlocked. I think that itself is a good reason for me to avoid smoking with strangers lmao
