marijuana doesnt fry your brain.

Marijuana does not kill brain cells nor does it make them go 'dormant'. Using marijuana can cause temporary impairments in short-term memory and what's called 'executive brain functions', the ability to learn new information or engage in complex manipulation of learned material. These effects disappear as the drug effects wear off.

It seems that some people do experience a 'turning point' in their marijuana use when it ceases to become enjoyable and instead provokes paranoia, fear or other 'bad trip' type symptoms.

In a recent study, between 10%-15% of people who smoked marijuana reported "paranoid" or "confused" feelings as a disadvantage of smoking marijuana. Furthermore, around 30% gave "negative experiences" as their reason for permanently quitting cannabis.

The character of many drugs' effects and reactions are dependent on 'set and setting', your mindset (how you feel at the time, what's going on in your life, your prevailing mood, the kind of day you've had) and your environment (where are you? are you relaxed there? who's with you? are you comfortable with everyone?).

Maybe examining the when, where, what, and how you smoke will help.
Is there anything consistent in your panic reactions? Time of day? Place where you're smoking?

What time of day do you smoke? Evenings are generally best as the body and the mind is more relaxed. Have you eaten before? Generally, an empty stomach will make drug effects stronger. A full stomach tends to ground you and lessen the possible unsettling out-of-body spacey side-effects of cannabis.

Panic attacks aren't necessarily ALWAYS weed-related. that being said, marijuana ISN'T for everyone.

hope this helps,

You know, I had the exact same thing happen to me years and years ago. Just one day it 'stopped being fun' - and so I put it off for a couple months - still no fun - a few more months....still no fun.

I just decided that was the universes way of telling me "you have had enough" and gave it up....haven't had it since. I went and earned a few degrees since then, so I hardly think my brain was too fried.

Think about it - maybe it is just natures way of saying you need to set it down and proceed down your path.

Your brain isn't fried, but you probably have underlying anxiety that's giving you a negative experience. Marijuana isn't actually a euphoriant -- your sense of a positive or negative reaction is based mostly on your mood.

just dont smoke

ask you counsellor.

If she says it's ok then it probably is
