Weird. Would be cool if more research could be done on weed but hey.

It took me 2 ER trips and 2500 bucks to figure it out. I also get them from real bad hangovers if I drink too much. Not as much now that I'm older and drink somewhat more moderately. 0.25 Xanax kills them as soon as it takes effect.

there are two different species of weed, sativa and indica. sativas are more likely to induce anxiety because they produce more mental effects, indicas generally are more of a pleasant body high. most strains of weed are a mix meaning they could have more or less sativa in them and thus if you're just buying random weed from a dealer (as most americans do where weed isn't legal) you never know if the weed you just bought is going to give you panic attacks or not

plus as you get older you're more prone to panic attacks just because you have more poo poo to worry about, have done more regretful things, carry more stress, etc. pretty much everyone i knew in my early 20's was a regular pot smoker, maybe a third of them are now

I'm thinking "my boys ran his house through," has connotations of busting in to look for something specific. Like "turning the place over," doesn't imply you nicked the silver or whatever, but indicates you were searching for something specific and much more valuable, like information on paper or disk etc, a hidden safe, a particular piece of art, a signed, advance copy of the hot new YA novel that's about to come out that somehow ended up in a thrift store selling for pennies, whatever, and you made a goddamned mess while looking for it.

There was also a significant upswing in potency and availability over the last 20 years. We used to get something called "regular" weed or "mexi" which was way less potent and inexpensive and you can't even find that now. Everything is loving mad scientist ten percent plus THC these says which significantly changes the experience.

Dispensaries aren't really much better in this regard - they feel obligated to give a name and indica/sativa label to everything even when they have no clue. They're unscientific at best and actively misleading at worst, just like a regular dealer.

I know one guy who got panic attacks and definitely had one when he tried weed. I doubt he's tried again, he was pretty drat miserable.

But that didn't work out for that dude in Love, Actually. If anything it should be a giant screaming neon "don't wait until poo poo is too late, idiot, go for it now instead of pining away for years!"

'Cuz even if she seems to reciprocate the feeling, it can't happen now because the dude waited too drat long to say anything and his time's up OVER, BLAOW! snap back to reality

I smoked for years and had to quit because it was giving me panic attacks. They feel just like you imagine a heart attack would.

I've had pretty good luck looking up strains on leafly and not buying anything that has "anxious" as a negative. I have had panic attacks for most of my life, and have smoked a couple of strains that were, uh, really disruptive, but once I started getting really choosy about what I was smoking it became much less of a problem. I still get burned by vendors every once in awhile, but generally what I get seems to match the leafly description.

I agree with what Jeffrey said, for the most part you don't know what you're getting unless you're buying directly from the grower or a dispensary that is really serious about it. (and keep in mind, a huge number of the dispensaries out there are just a shady dude in a strip mall taking advantage of an opportunity to legitimize their already existing line of business - these people do not give a poo poo about the accuracy of the strains they are selling)

She had to have potty trained him right? Like woman you've seen him pee before.

Or maybe she never potty trained him, just left him in the bathroom to figure it out all on his own and he pee in the tank.

i have a lot of friends who are girls and while if I was single and they were willing we might hook up I def don't want to date any of them and we can hang out without it being weird just fine

Idk where that "girls can't be your friend, either they are a potential prospect or they are forgotten" comes from but I suspect it is from a diseased mind.

Jerry and Elaine are past partners turned friends and the latent sexual tension is addressed a few times.

And again, just look at how often people in this thread gently caress this poo poo up, its not all that wrong for a general rule.
