THC and seditives?!
Question: I have a friend who gets really paranoid and has panic attacks on a regular basis and these feelings are greatly increased when they smoke MJ, recently she has been put on a sedative called ativan to control her anxiety, she thinks that if she takes the ativan and then smokes she will be alright but I told her that mixing it might kill her... I don't know anything about it but I'm more worried than she is. Is this a harmful combination, from my understanding Ativan is the same as Klonopin and Xanax

Mixing any benzodiazepine like xanax, ativan, valium klonopins, or whatever (They are different by the way but in the same family) with cannabis will cause little harm and certainly nothing even close to deadly, but probably intoxicate them quite a bit more than normal.
You must avoid mixing benzos with themselves, and other depressants like alcohol, opiates, muscle relaxers or GHB. That's when it becomes dangerous.
And really, smoking marijuana is one of the worst things a person with anxiety problems can do. Benzodiazepines are very addictive and she shouldn't take them anymore than she has to.
that can kill her
she should stop smoking especialy if its bomb
thats the good **** but it can get you high
i think the first summed it up so im just answering to say listen to the first person
