i smoked pot agian today, first time in about a year. i dont know why, because the last time i did i had the worst trip/panic attack, it was terrible. swore i'd never do it again. but this afternoon, my friend offered me a hit, and i was really mellow- a little drunk, so i thought, what the hell. so i took a hit, ONE HIT, and i was stoned-out-of-my mind .. in a good way. for hours. my friends and i sat at the beach laughing histerically, listening to good music all day. i passed out blissfully on the grass. i had a horrible nightmare that someone was stabbing me while i lay there on the ground, and i woke up in the middle of the worst panic attack ever- i couldnt see right- i thought the sky was caving in on me, and i couldnt feel my body- thought i'd float away and my body would lay dead on the ground, i thought i was going insane. and my friends were still laughing, stoned, i was convinced they were laughing at my expence because they had slipped my some kind of hallucinogen. it was awful, i curled up in the grass and cried. eventually my friends realized i wasnt joking, and tried to comfort me, but at the time i was convinced they were conspiring to calm me down so they could take me to a mental hospital.
it lasted about a half an hour, and it was the most horrifying panic attack i've had, and thats saying a lot. just the other day i had one almost as bad.
shame on me.
drugs arent cool, kids.

I have read stories from other message boards where someone smokes pot only once and they are never the same. I have read several accounts of them having panic attacks and also constant depersonalization (you mentioned the feeling like you would float away) that won't end.
Please don't touch that stuff again. Some of our brain chemistries' just can't handle being messed with.
I'm glad you're okay now.

It's absolute poison to some people. Seems good for others. More variable responses to it than to many other drugs IMO.

Pot used to make me SO paranoid when I was a teen. I think that that's when most of my extreme anxiety problems started.
Jazzy - haven't smoked in ages
