It's when that panic/anxiety sets in. Well I used to take it years ago and I recently went through the same type of thing though I've been clean for years. It seems that anxiety attacks are really common but why do they happen and what do they mean because I still feel slightly "under the spell"from mine 3 nights ago. Like there really is something looming out there that I have to face. Please dont think I'm mad. It feels like I could get sucked into this other reality at any time.Does anyone else feel like this?

I did/do - that's why I quit so long ago. The last time I tried it was about 4 years ago, and I got so freaked-out, I was scared of my girlfriend. I went to bed at like 9:00 just so I could hide from her in the bedroom. It sucks because I used to love to do it. Then I started drinking instead... Whoa!

I think anyone of us who has smoked some decent weed has had a whitey, and they vary in depth and significance. About 15 years ago I dropped some acid with my husband, and had a full blown, nasty, nightmare trip. It was awful - I KNEW it was the acid causing it, but I was still seeing what I was seeing and hearing what I was hearing. Never took it again, but to this day I'm prone to panic attacks in situations I have no control over, the worst one being freaking out on a plane to Malta, and spending the whole fortnight there worrying about flying home again. Ruined the holiday. Still get little ones now and again, but can keep them under control.
But yours sounds a bit heavier than that - being afraid of actually being sucked into that world is a worrying thing babe, a bit like "Birdy" by William Wharton. You really need to get some professional opinion on this babe... I'm not a psychologist so can't really give you any advice other than that. Please mail me and let me know how things go for you.

I think a lot of people go through a period where you walk a very fine line between sanity and insanity. While you walk this line you have a choice to make. Once you make that decision, though, and give in to being "insane", letting yourself fall into this psychosis, you'll be fighting for the rest of your life to climb back out & shake those cobwebs out of your head. Tough it out, talk it out, seek professional help if you want to, just don't give in. Don't know if it's left-over stuff from the using days, or part of growing up, but THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!! Hang in there & do the right thing.

i used to drink and drug to excess and i still somtimes experience strange events, notably i can somtimes stagger and lurch without control, a bit embarressing in company! Dont know how u got/stay clean but maybe talk to folk from NA might help, it might make u feel better if u can identify with others about this. If u have a feeling of pending doom then i seriously think u'd benefit as this is very common in Alkies and addicts

Yep cannabis isn't the harmless drug we were all led to believe is it?
But you need to go to the doc because I don't think this is actually related to cannabis use and I think it could be quite important you get this checked out.
I wouldn't wory TOO much though. Even people who hae been straight all their lives get panic attacks etc. Its just life.

Had a couple of whitey's when I smoked dope a good few years back, never anything as to what you are describing though.
I would get checked out mate, it may not be anything to do with the dope you smoked.
As for getting paranoind and anxious about other stuff.

there is no point worrying about it"

this is just your brain shrivelling up with lack of oxygen due to ur drug taking, panic attacks r rife with many drug users or even ex drug users. paranoia is the main worry here, go see a doc an get sorted hun xx
