In today's video we'll discuss how weed can be responsible for anxiety and panic attacks. I will use a scientific case study which proves the point and then share my personal experience with anxiety from weed.

Let me start by saying I am not someone who has ever suffered from anxiety until I started smoking heavily. I do not believe this video applies to everyone, rather those who are daily heavy smokers like how I was.

This case study proves cannabis smokers are twice as likely to suffer from anxiety and panic attacks from smoking weed. Those with pre-existing conditions are twice as likely to have worse anxiety while being dependent on cannabis.

From my personal experience, after about 3 years of smoking daily is when I started to suffer from panic attacks and anxiety. It would happen when grinding with my fingers, I would want the task to finish and the act of doing something small with my fingers which I would want to end would trigger a massive anxiety attack.

It would feel like I was suffocating. It feels like you can't breathe and you need to get up. Walk around while breathing in heavily to relax. It's truly the worst feeling like claustrophobia which is another symptom I began to develop towards year 8 of smoking.

I read heavy smoking daily can cause the flight or fight response to trigger when not necessary. The rush of adrenaline causes anxiety and panic attacks as well.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying everybody will have this. If you smoke once a week this video is not for you most likely. I'm referring to those who smoker everyday, every hour, all day everyday.

When we can't use moderation it's time to give it up and start a new. So if you're having bad anxiety and want it to stop than just stop smoking weed. Quit weed for forever and you'll never regret it.

I go so much more into detail in the video. Please watch and smash the like button if you like the video. Subscribe if you found value and most of all have a wonderful day! Happy Monday!
