> > The people who say that pot can't exacerbate psychiatric problems are completely biased and out of touch. There is overwhelming evidence to the contrary actually. I'm not saying people don't have a right to do it, but the effects can vary greatly from one individual to the next. The people who said that they know thousands of chronic users that never had an issue are using faulty logic. Those heavy users obviously don't have bad reactions to it, otherwise they wouldn't be still using it. Their group is pre-selected. People that have psychiatric reactions are very unlikely to become long term users. This is the same thing as me saying I know hundreds of cigarette smokers but none of them has ever developed lung cancer, so therefor tobacco is not carcinogenic. I personally believe that indicas are much better for susceptible people, and sativas can wreak havoc in those same folks...just my 2 cents.

I had my first panic attack, without knowing it was panic attack, when I was smooking weeds at 17 yo... I experienced panic all the time I was smooking weeds for 2 years...sometimes it was worse and sometimes was mild panic but never felt calm and happy after smooking weeds after my first panic attack...
As far as I know, my Doc told me it's one of the worse drug for peoples who are predispose to developp anxiety disorders... or psychiatric disorders... The good news is that I stop weeds at 19 yo cause of the panic attacks...I smoke weeds each day from 13 yo until 19 yo... most of the time before bedtime cause I had insmonia as a teen... and at school cause I wasn't able to deal with pressure and the others kids who was laughting at me...
I must admit that I was also doing a lot of PCP and LSD from 14 yo until 18 yo... had my usual LSD dose every week, friday evening most of the time and 2 caps at the time not one like the others... and PCP every 2 days... it was cheap drugs at the time...
Sometimes I wonder if the chemical drugs does something bad inside my brains so that's why i'm having severe anxiety now???
Oh, I remember that I try the Exctasy back in the summer of 2005... my anxiety was under control at the time... first time I try it I drink some beers with it and was ok, no anxiety or panic... but the second time I try it I took 2 puff of weeds and I had the worse badtrip of my life... 6 hours in a row of panic attacks non stop... having one panic attack after another one non stop for 6 hours wasnt funny and after I say no to street drugs! lol
I also took some Cocaine for a while in the 90's... never trigger panic...
