[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2488637, member: 7629"] What are some actually legitimate downsides to smoking marijuana? (self.AskReddit) [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/23kon2/what_are_some_actually_legitimate_downsides_to/[/url] Only a few people have mentioned this but it can actually induce/aggravate panic disorder and magnify anxiety. Lived it first hand. Not fun. Had to consult a psychiatrist because it got really bad. Even after not smoking for a while. []YoYoDingDongYo 142 points 2 hours ago This is why I quit. I was having anxiety-induced PVCs all day long, and eventually figured out that the weed was causing them. I quit smoking and they were gone in a week. Now I can smoke occasionally (every month or two) with no problem, but errday is no good for me. []roliav 10 points 2 hours ago damn i used to get them all the time, but ive never made the link between the two. Do you mind me asking if you still get them occasionally? I haven't smoked in a while and i still experience those 'skipped beats', albeit less frequently []brosophila 107 points 2 hours ago Same. It was awful. I still smoke on occasion, but I've found that if I'm feeling at all anxious beforehand, smoking only makes it worse. []Chris_PBacon 26 points 1 hour ago I definitely agree with this. If anything in my life is particularly unstable or upsetting, it only magnifies it. []petaimholdinmelons 48 points 1 hour ago Same here. Sometimes I felt like I was dying, it was awful. It seemed to come out of nowhere too, like I smoked everyday for about 5 years and all of a sudden BOOM panic attack and then from there it continued until I finally quit.
