The Recreational Drug Thread (member, quote, memory, 2005, hands)

I had a friend who had a bad "panic attack" with it. I've even had small ones myself, and I personally believe quite firmly that it's in your head. I've calmed myself after I started to have some anxiety, because I realized I was making it worse myself by thinking of what could be happening. I hear all these stories of people saying "I thought I was going to die." That in and of itself is a big reason for the anxiety; these dooming thoughts that seem to propel you further and further down. Being high while having them not only makes it easy to believe something like that is actually happening, but also makes it easy to continually push forward. I think it's all in the mind of the individual; you make yourself believe those things are happening, and in turn panic yourself. Then you believe you have this or that, and sometimes that leads to people thinking they need medication for it. I don't know. I guess at the end of it all, I believe it's all in your hands. You can let fear control you if you let it, it's all up to you. It's not the marijuana, it's you.
