Can I smoke marijuana a few days after suffering an anxiety attack / panic ? Two days ago I suffered a panic attack while smoking marijuana. I went to the hospital thinking it might be a heart attack . I made an electrocardiogram, chest x -rays and blood tests and the results were normal .
There are two main classes of psychoactive ingredients in marijuana : THC that causes hallucinations and euphoria or dysphoria / panic when it is smoked. Cannabinoids that are non-toxic and could help concentration and pain relief. The current crop of plants with high THC levels have led to increased anxiety / panic / paranoia and psychosis in susceptible people. Negative circumstances may also contribute.
