Weed and some anxiety/paranoia

    Hey everyone.. I have been a long term smoker (of pot only) and I'm just wondering if it's at all normal that I used to not have any anxiety or paranoia and just got relaxed when getting stoned but the last couple years about 1 out of every 3 highs I could get anxious and even close to a panic attack..

    It pisses me off. At first I was so paranoid that I thought I could have possibly been smoking laced pot (speed or meth??), but I would for sure know if that was the case, right? All the stuff I got look/smelled normal from what I know and it was always buds not rolled joints or anything that I bought. Now I'm trying to tell myself that I just became too dependent on weed and my body is telling me to take a break. But I'm still a bit nervous. I have now quit for 17 days straight and there has been very minimal withdrawal (except remembering my dreams more..), so that kinda rules out me smoking a harder drug right?

    Another thing that got me thinking was, when I was younger I knew a guy who had some "keif", (I think that's what he called it). It was like pure THC powder, and when I was smoking that shit I remember I got like super high, and paranoid as well, lol. I was smoking it daily for like 2 weeks straight and when I think back, I believe that's when the paranoia sorta started to kick in. Could that shit have been laced? Even though I smoked it with the guy and a couple other people to I just simply don't trust that dude, and it scares the shit out of me.

    I guess my question is, could I have permanently damaged my brain or personality by my prolonged use of pot (like 9 years daily smoking with I think one 5 month break only), and the 2 week period of smoking that "keif" which got me super high and also very paranoid it seemed..? I'm going to take another like 5 month break before I come back cause I want to get my shit together but I really do miss the relaxed feeling I could get from pot.. I'm not super worried about the pot, I know I just became dependent but is that Keif shit safe to smoke?

    Keif is pot lol. its the trichomes separated from the plant material.
    You probably have anxiety regardless of smoking. I know i do and weed keeps it in check for me anyway.

    I have been smoking cannabis of and on since the seventies.Would get parinoid every so often if i got extra high. Later in life when i wasn't smoking i would have minor anxiety attacks until they became worse and had to go to hospital once because i thought i was having a heart attack. Now when i am smoking no anxiety and it only starts when i quit for a while. I forgot that i was put on ssris for the anxiety:rolleyes: which i am going to get of them again but this time with doc's care. your not alone when it comes to anxiety and marijuana.Shithead
